Minutes of OTFC Mtg 7/29/99

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

DADS (Tony Houston, Joel Richon) -

The DADS system continues to run well.

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

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

Mike is making a fix to the OTFC pipeline for WFPC2 to allow group headers to be updated. The change involves moving the conversion from FITS to GEIS to an earlier stage, before getref/upref. Mike has done some preliminary tests that show this fix will work.

Mike developed the common switch rules system for OTFC. Lisa is to set up a test database system on the ROBBIE server. She will then run the rules system on all WFPC2 and STIS datasets. Steve Lubow will run some consistency checks for WFPC2 and STIS. He has an independent set of WFPC2 rules to make a comparison.

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

getref/upref (Bernie Simon) - Nothing new.

Action Item: Ed Hopkins will investigate whether this behavior can be made consistent with DADS, so OTFC processed data can be ingested.

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)

Work is ongoing for the recent keyword changes to globrate.

ACTION ITEM: Steve L. will talk with Bernie Simon about scheduling keyword placement.

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) - nothing new.
