It allows to store XML configuration datasources\nand components. It also gives possibility to select mandatory components\nand perform the process of component merging.\n\nTango Server API: https://nexdatas.github.io/configserver/doc_html\n\n| Source code: https://github.com/nexdatas/configserver/\n| Web page: https://nexdatas.github.io/configserver/\n| NexDaTaS Web page: https://nexdatas.github.io\n\n------------\nInstallation\n------------\n\nInstall the dependencies:\n\n| MySQLdb, PyTango, sphinx\n\nFrom sources\n^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nDownload the latest version of NeXuS Configuration Server from\n\n| https://github.com/nexdatas/configserver/\n| https://github.com/nexdatas/configserver-db/\n\nExtract the sources and run\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ python setup.py install\n\nTo set database execute\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ mysql < conf/mysql_create.sql\n\nwith proper privileges.\n\nDebian packages\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nDebian Jessie (and Wheezy) packages can be found in the HDRI repository.\n\nTo install the debian packages, add the PGP repository key\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ sudo su\n\t $ wget -q -O - http://repos.pni-hdri.de/debian_repo.pub.gpg | apt-key add -\n\nand then download the corresponding source list\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d\n\t $ wget http://repos.pni-hdri.de/jessie-pni-hdri.list\n\nFinally, for python2 packages\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ apt-get update\n\t $ apt-get install python-nxsconfigserver nxsconfigserver-db\n\nand the NXSConfigServer tango server (from 2.10.0)\n\n\t $ apt-get install nxsconfigserver\n\nor for python3\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n\t $ apt-get update\n\t $ apt-get install python3-nxsconfigserver nxsconfigserver-db\n\nand the NXSConfigServer tango server (from 2.10.0)\n\n\t $ apt-get install nxsconfigserver3\n\n\nFrom pip\n\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\n\nTo install it from pip you need pymysqldb e.g.\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n $ python3 -m venv myvenv\n $ . myvenv/bin/activate\n\n $ pip install pymysqldb\n\n $ pip install nxsconfigserver\n\nMoreover it is also good to install\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n $ pip install pytango\n $ pip install nxstools\n\nSetting NeXus Configuration Server\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nTo set up NeXus Configuration Server with the default configuration run\n\n.. code-block:: console\n\n $ nxsetup -x NXSConfigServer\n\nThe *nxsetup* command comes from the **python-nxstools** package.\n\n===========\nDescription\n===========\n\nConfiguration Server is dedicated to store NXDL-like configuration needed for\nTango Data Writer runs. The server uses as a storage system a MYSQL database.\nTo create required DB tables one can use ndts.sql script from the repository.\n\nIn Configuration Server the configuration is memorized in separate elements:\ndatasources or components.\n\n**DataSources** describe access to input data, i.e to specific hardware\nTANGO devices or other databases as well to client data.\n\n**Components** specify Nexus tree with positions of datasets for particular\npieces of hardware and writing strategy for corresponding to them data.\n\n+ They can include datasources directly as well as links to datasources\n defined in the server. To this end template syntax of\n $datasources. type is used.\n+ Moreover, they can holds links to other components which describe their\n dependences. In this case $components. syntax is used.\n+ Finally, the components can contains variables. The variables are defined\n in XML code by $var. syntax and can be provided to\n the Configuration Server by passing a JSON string.\n The default value for variables is an empty string.\n\nAll elements of configuration can be created by GUI tool - ComponentDesigner.\nThe tool can connect to Configuration Server and fetch or store\nthe separate elements of the XML configuration.\n\nDuring creation of the final configuration Configuration Server merges\nall required and dependent components, connected to them datasources and\nprovided values of the variables. As a result it returns a single XML string.\nThis XML string can be pass directly into the dedicated Tango Data Writer\nattribute.\n\n\n\n===========\nClient code\n===========\n\n.. code-block:: python\n\n # In this section we present an example how to communicate with\n # Configuration Server making use of PyTango.\n\n import PyTango\n\n cnfServer = PyTango.DeviceProxy(\"p00/xmlconfigserver/exp.01\")\n\n cnfServer.JSONSettings = \\\n\t'{\"host\":\"localhost\",\"db\":\"ndts_p02\",\"read_default_file\":\"/etc/my.cnf\",\"use_unicode\":true}'\n\n # opens DB connection\n cnfServer.Open()\n\n # After creating the server proxy we can set configuration for connection to\n # the MYSQL DB.\n # The JSONSettings attribute is memorized so you have to write it only when you\n # change configuration of DB connection.
