Introduction

This guide provides an overview of the CDCD application followed by operating instructions and an appendix containing processing flow diagrams.

Overview

Description

CDCD consists of two distinct software modules, which are in turn comprised of multiple software components. Together, the modules produce a labeled CD-R containing digital data in ISO9660 Level 2 format. A jewel case insert containing order-specific information is printed to accompany the CD-R. If specified, a special request will be printed for Operations staff.

The module that is visible to the user is the client module. The user interacts with the client software, providing required and optional information needed to produce the CD-R. This interaction typically takes place through tutor, the TAE application. The client module prepares the digital data for placement on CD-R and communicates the user's request to the server module.

The server module actually produces the CD-R and jewel case insert. The server software validates the client connection, accepts the prepared files from the client, and produces the CD-R, jewel case insert, and optional "special requests."

Specifications

This section is intended for Operations staff and does not contain information needed to use the software. CDCD products have the following specifications:

Operating Instructions

Starting CDCD

CDCD runs under TAE on UNIX platforms. It is beyond the intent or scope of this guide to provide in-depth instructions regarding TAE or LAS. For more information on TAE or LAS, refer to the appropriate documentation. LAS user documentation is available on the CSB homepage (off the EDC homepage).

At the command line type tae or las. At the LAS prompt type tutor cdcd.

Parameters

Table 1 shows the parameters available to the user. It gives a description of the fields and their specifications. Parm is the short parameter name used in the PDF.

Required Parameters

Required parameters must be provided, or the program will not run.

0 = Level 1: 8.3 format, uppercase filenames.

1 = Level 2: 30-character uppercase filenames.

2 = Level 1 + Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions.

3 = Level 2 + Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions.

4 = Level 2 + Rock Ridge extensions only.

Optional Parameters

The numeric identifiers in the two figures can be used to match the individual fields to the parameters shown in Table 1.

Optional parameters that are not provided are not printed. For example, in Figure 2, if the user did not specify ending path or row numbers, only fields 13 and 15 would be printed on that line. If the user did not specify the map projection, that line would not be printed, and the line identifying the format would move up a line.
