DADS (Warren King) -
The DADS system continues to run well.
A WFPC2 request was split and failed.
ACTION ITEM: Warren to investigate.
Error flag passed from OPUS is not being used by DADS.
ACTION ITEM: Warren to file OPR. Also operators may be able to accelerate the process. Perhaps the OPUS timer should be shortened.
The 2 pipe system was released as part of DADS 7.92. This allows the operational dads to deliver data to two different OTFC pipelines: a test and an operational pipeline. The flag to set the use of the second pipeline is not available in the current version of Starview, but will be in Starview II. The flag can be set within an email message used for a retrieval request in the meanwhile.
-----------------------------------------------------
OPUS (Mike Swam) - The calibration pipeline is operating.
The best switches are to be installed on dadsotfc on ZEPPO for testing.
-----------------------------------------------------
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.
-----------------------------------------------------
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 will 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: 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) - testing continues.
-----------------------------------------------------
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.
-----------------------------------------------------
OTFC Reprocessing System
We discussed how the catalog would be maintained consistently with keyword changes. The keyword repair table would only be used for special cases involving telemetry hits. Otherwise, the fix would be made by OPUS software. The Arch group would still propagate keyword changes into the DADS catalog, as is done now. This would involve determining which data are effected.
We would rely on change dates to inform users about the need to recalibrate.
Besref and Bestswitch would still need to run together through a similar mechanism as we are planning to have for the first release of OTFC.
