Minutes of OTFC Mtg 7/15/99

-----------------------------------------------------

DADS (Tony Houston) -

The DADS system continues to run well.

-----------------------------------------------------

OPUS (Mike Swam) - On vacation. The calibration pipeline is operating.

Mike is developing the common switch rules system for OTFC. Lisa will check the results.

-----------------------------------------------------

getref/upref (Bernie Simon) - Not present

ACTION ITEM: Bernie and Ed will investigate keyword placement for switches.

-----------------------------------------------------

Change System (Lisa Gardner, Steve Lubow, & Bernie Shiao) -

Action Item: Lisa is to develop support for the pending datasets table.

-----------------------------------------------------

STIS (Bernie Shiao, Ed Hopkins, Grace Mitchell, Melissa McGrath)

Two new PRs were filed for keyword repairs. One involves fixes to globrate, the other involves cfstatus. Ed reported that these repairs may take considerable effort. Melissa said that the cfstatus repair is not critical for OTFC external release. However, the globrate fix is critical. We also felt that there might be some simplfications possible in maintaining these repairs.

Daryl suggested that the keyword repairs could be cleaned up if we reprocess the data during tertiary load.

Ed asked whether keyword placement would operate before the OTFC system is released externally. The current schedule does not call for that. Melissa would like to see that on the schedule, although it is not critical for release.

ACTION ITEM: Steve L. will talk with Bernie Simon about scheduling this task.

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 (Grace Mitchell, Melissa McGrath, Steve Lubow, Steve Slowinski)

Regression testing - nothing new

Random testing - some mixed STIS and OTFC requests completed.

STIS Testing (Melissa McGrath and Grace Mitchell) - The regression suite is being run and checked. Some problems were found with OKR entries. These problems are identified and are being fixed by Bernie Shiao. Several problems with reference files were identified and are being fixed in opr #39445. About 25 STIS datasets have been examined for accuracy following OTFC. About 23 remain. The main classes of keyword repairs have been covered by the datasets examined so far.

-----------------------------------------------------

Contacting WFPC2 users (Steve Lubow)

Recent WFPC2 users have been identified through DADS database queries. They were sent email encouraging them to try OTFC.

ACTION ITEM: Steve will talk to individuals.
