Description

UALInit actor is responsible for reading input data (pulse file) and storing requested IDSes inside so called run work. Once run work is created all data access related actions are performed on this file. It means that initial data are never affected by Kepler (you can't accidentally overwrite them, unless you explicitly use the input file as output - e.g. UALCollector or UALSliceCollector).

Please note that input database will be read from: user and machine - where user and machine are specified as actor's parameters while runwork will be created inside database pointed by $USER environment variable (inside database of the user that is running the workflow). It is not possible to overwrite somebody else's data.
