Starview & DADS (Allen Farris & Warren King) -
The operational DADS system is now available for OTFC and appears to be working OK.
Some testing revealed a problem with offline PDQ files. A calibration request is sent to OTFC.
Action Item: Allen will investigate and try to install a quick fix.
There remains a problem with the file list sent to users via email. It does not contain the names of the newly created files in the OTFC pipeline.
Action Item: This will be fixed in a future DADS release, 7.8.3. This is about 1 month away.
DADS support for the two destination pipes: otfc and nonotfc needs to be supported by the time OTFC is released. The reason is that we need to maintain two separate otfc pipelines: a test and an operational system. Code is in place to do this, but is untested. Some enhancements are needed to the front-end of DADS. This capability will first be tested on the DADS test system.
Action Item: Allen and Joel will work this out. -----------------------------------------------------
OPUS (Mike Swam) - The calibration pipeline is working on artichoke.
There is a problem with ASN files getting split into separate requests. The OTFC pipeline attempts to process the ASN request and fails.
Action Item: Mike Swam will change the pipeline so that the ASN file gets passed directly to DADS distribution. DONE.
Mike is to develop the common rules system for OTFC. This will being in 2 to 3 weeks. -----------------------------------------------------
getref/upref (Bernie Simon) - Some fixes have been made to change SKIPPED to OMIT for WFPC2 and a change for WAVECALS. These fixes are not yet installed. Some additional software changes are needed to handle database changes in DADS 7.8.3. A new getref/upref will be installed for that release.
-----------------------------------------------------
Change System (Lisa Gardner, Steve Lubow, & Bernie Shiao) -
Scripts are handling the updating of the internal test system on ZEPPO to emulate the automated change system.
The automatic change system needs further development.
Action Item: Lisa is to develop support for the pending datasets table. -----------------------------------------------------
STIS (Bernie Shiao, Ed Hopkins, Melissa McGrath) - Ed and Bernie Shiao are working on the list of proposed modifications to the headers (via the otfc_keyword_repair table). The keyword repair entries are done.
Action Item: These changes need to be reviewed by the STIS team
Action Item: Bernie Shiao will investigate the level of effort required to retrieve the 2700 or so WAVECAL datasets. Lisa will determine the effort required to make the database changes and the ingest process changes for WAVCALs. Since there is no short-term need to change these values, this effort is of low priority. -----------------------------------------------------
Testing (Melissa McGrath, Steve Lubow, Steve Slowinski) - This system now appears to work correctly. The current plan is to open the OTFC system to STScI internal testing in early March.
Random testing - Steve Lubow is continuing to run mixed requests of otfc (STIS and WFPC2) and nonotfc (FOS) data. The problem with PDQ files was discovered.
Regression testing - Steve Slowinski ran the WFPC2/OTFC regression suite. The data appears to be correct. There was a network problem encountered, unrelated to OTFC. A test was run with a missing reference file. The system behaved properly.
Action Item: Steve will carry out stress tests, including the case of requesting corrupted data.
Action Item: Steve will work with the WFPC2 team to determine that the data are correct, based on their set of regression data. We need to have a standard set of results to compare against in an automated manner.
Sylvia and Faith will test the consistency of newly calibrated data between the initial pipeline and OTFC. Faith is out for weeks.
Melissa is identifying a set of STIS data for a regression test (about 50 - 100 datasets.) This is about 3/4 done. It will be completed in the next one or two weeks. -----------------------------------------------------
User Interfaces (Megan Donahue, Steve Lubow)
We continued a discussion about the retrieval screen for OTFC. A new screen organization was discussed.
Action Item: Megan will provide a new test version of the retrieval screen.
-----------------------------------------------------
Operational Support
Action Item: Steve Slowinski will contact Herb about gaining experience with the OMG.
