Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• ganglia for sensors
• ippdb02 replication
• czar on Tuesday and Thursday

Heather Flewelling

• vacation

Roy Henderson

• sick for 2.5 days

• started old 3PI loading to PSPS, this involved:
  • changes to main loading program to load old 3PI within certain ra/dec bounds. Started with RA 9-10 hrs
  • found corruption with 3PI DVO database, Gene pointed me to a backup
  • mix of old and new smf files meant KRON fields sometimes missing. Solution: no KRONs in any old data loaded to PSPS
  • set up (with Gavin's help) ipp045 for ippToPsps loading (scratch database etc)
  • investigated batches rejected from DXLayer: Carefully re-submitted them

• Other ippToPsps development:
  • metrics program now estimates time to completion
  • fixed bug where nebulous failures were causing a crash. Exception is now caught and handled
  • fixed issue where stored procedures were not installed correctly by code
  • wrote program to set-up a scratch database, including installing the relevant stored procedures and init tables

• Other:
  • czartool: fixed bug I introduced last week (pending stuff was being reported as complete)
  • added a description of old 3PI loading on the news page

Mark Huber

Spent majority of the week untangling LAP after a couple systems went down and keeping it running. Released MD04-g very deep test stack and started one for r-band. Continued to debug ppStack very deep stack and ppSub issues.

Bill Sweeney

This week was spent debugging various things and enhancing the ippTools to help keep LAP running smoothly.

• Modified regtool to make it straightforward to mark a rawImfile as lost.
• Added a mode to chiptool to make it straightforward to drop a chip that can not be processed by the update system.
• The update processing for the postage stamp server just stopped working midweek. Debugged this for awhile. It seems that pantasks just got tired. Need to restart occasionally.
• two days as processing czar
• destreaked and bundled the SAS2 raw images for MPG. They are of interest to the EUCLID project.
• helped a couple of users with some postage stamp problems.
• one vacation day to complete painful change of residence.
