-----------------------------------------------------
DADS (Warren King) -
The DADS system continues to run well.
The 2 pipe system is in test and will be released in a few weeks as part of DADS 7.92.
-----------------------------------------------------
OPUS (Mike Swam) - The calibration pipeline is operating.
Mike is fixing 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. This fix will likely be installed next week.
Mike has developed the common switch rules system for OTFC. Lisa set up a test database system on the ROBBIE server and ran the new rules system. Steve Lubow checked the WFPC2 results with those obtained by his independent rules system. No differences were found. We are now investigating results for STIS. There appear to be some problems with recommended PHT and PCT reference files being N/A, while photcorr is now set to PERFORM with the new rules. Bernie Shiao is investigating this.
-----------------------------------------------------
getref/upref and CDBS (Bernie Simon) - Synphot will be using FITS files. This change will occur in Sept. FITS versions of the files will need to be listed in cdbs. This may require rearchiving these files.
ACTION ITEM: Bernie and Ed will investigate keyword placement for switches.
-----------------------------------------------------
Change System (Lisa Gardner, Steve Lubow, & Bernie Shiao) - the globrate and cfstatus keyword corrections have been installed in the dadsotfc database on ZEPPO. So they now take effect on OTFC requests.
Lisa is developing support for the pending datasets table.
-----------------------------------------------------
STIS (Bernie Shiao, Ed Hopkins, Grace Mitchell, Melissa McGrath)
Nothing new.
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.
-----------------------------------------------------
Associations for ACS and NICMOS (Hopkins)
We should begin planning for associations. Changes will be required to the OTFC pipeline, DADS, and getref. These changes need to be coordinated with plans for the new DADS and possibly having OTFC operate as a reprocessing system.
