oks_merge -o part_hlt_${USER}_merged.data.xml -s schema.data.xml part_hlt_${USER}.data.xml

run database editor: 

dbe -f part_hlt_${USER}_merged.data.xml

  • In Computer section modify full host name <hostname>.<domainname> to short one <hostname>
  • in Partition section add in initial the default host to <hostname>.

export TDAQ_IPC_INIT_REF=file:./ipc.ref
export TDAQ_TOKEN_CHECK=0
