Hello Andrea, The database connection was changed a little while ago from a properties file to command line parameters. The current way to specify which conditions to use is documented here: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/Detector+Conditions <https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/Detector+Conditions> So instead you need to do: java -Dorg.hps.conditions.url=jdbc:mysql://hpsdb.jlab.org:3306/hps_conditions -Dorg.hps.conditions.user=hpsuser -Dorg.hps.conditions.password=xxxxxxx ... Note also that the CC at JLab is not happy with passwords in email :-) Best, Maurik > On Jul 5, 2019, at 5:32 AM, Andrea Celentano <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Dear HPS, > in the past, I was able to start the monitoring app with a custom connection file, that allows me to write to the condition systems (only the LED table!).
