 Barrel Time-of-Flight Database Initialisation at the Start of Run

      1. Find two primitive macros: $STAR/StRoot/StBTofPool/dbase/macros/tof_reload.C & tofsim_reload.C.    Better to copy the whole macro directory to your own directory.
      2. Change the old timestamp to the new timestamp for this year. Use Run25 as an example:
         
          These are timestamp listed for Run25.
          - Geometry tag has a timestamp of 20241210
          - Simulation timeline [20241215 , 20241220]
          - Database initialization for real data [20241225 , ...]

          "gROOT->ProcessLine(".x table_reupload.C(\"Calibrations_tof\", \"tofINLSCorr\", \"ofl\", \"2024-12-25 00:00:00\",\"2024-12-26 00:00:00\"");"
          This is the example code inside the macro. It means copy the parameter tables from the first time to second time.
          The timestamp used in tof_reload.C. should be related with Real Data Timestamp.
          The timestamp used in tofsim_reload.C should be related with Simulation Timestamp.
          We could ask Gene for advice.   

      3. Run the command: setenv DB_ACCESS_MODE write
      4. root4star -b -q -l tof_reload.C & tofsim_reload.C
          Type "Yes" for every entry.
