How to run the Phoebus alarm-server demo

[Charles Jenkins via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hello All,

I am setting up the Phoebus-based Global Alarms for the Mu2e 
experiment.  I can get the alarm-server to work for a limited number of 
Process Variables.  But as I add systems, I get time-out and disconnect 
messages.  Individually, these will run, but when I combine systems, I 
get this error.
I generate ".xml" files that I import into the alarm-server.  I see from 
the documentation that it is possible to have a config with 100k Process 
Variables... So I suspect I am setting up the ".xml" files wrong.   What 
I have done to include the multiple systems is use a series of ".xml" 
files that use the "xinclude" feature to include other files.   Is that 
correct?  Or should I use one large file with all Process variables and 
components for branches in the alarm tree?
Also, I thought I could set up the demos to see the structure of the 
".xml" file and see what I could be doing wrong.    However, I don't see 
from the instructions on how to run the demo programs that are built.  
Could someone tell me how to run the alarm demos?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks,
Merrill Jenkins
