Setup catalog configuration for databroker#

Contact BCDA (bcda@aps.anl.gov) for assignment of a databroker catalog configuration. BCDA maintains a list of all assigned catalogs on a private server

For example purposes, let’s assume you have been given this bluesky/databroker catalog assignment:

  • name: 45ida_abcd

  • MongoDB server: mongoserver.xray.aps.anl.gov

  • MongoDB collection: 45ida_abcd-bluesky

See this guide to configure databroker.

Confirm that databroker can find the 45ida_abcd catalog by running the python executable and passing the python commands as a command-line option:

$ python -c "import databroker; print(list(databroker.catalog))"
['45ida_abcd']
