• Minor improvements to the databases backup scripts
• ipp001 databases backup directory cleaning
• Czar on Wed and Thu
• Ganglia hack
• Nebulous monitoring:
  • Each mhpcc storage node has now its own local database (a mysql server is running on each node). ippc11 now holds only a "summary" on those nodes.

Heather Flewelling

• worked on jt/my science
• ipptopsps improvements
  • to get more things into object table in psps, we should really be modifying the dvo schema: ​http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/DvoSchemaChangeProposal

Mark Huber

• ppStack tests continue, mostly finished debugging simtests and plots. when time, notes+plots to be added to the ongoing wiki ​http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/ppStack_testing_201111#TargetPSFforConvolvedStacks
• MD10.refstack.20120705 selected chip-warp "test" reprocessing with new tag (ipp-20120626) and reftest samples made on stsci nodes after debugging setup. tighter input FWHM constraints from ppStack tests have helped reign in the convolved stack target PSFs but have highlighted a known problem of odd convolution that haven't had the chance to properly trace out in the ppStack tests. stalled until finished tracing out.
• MD staticsky finished for all fields since fault is intermittent. skycal problem found, needs to be tuned more appropriately for NRAW INST.MAG.RAW in own reduction config group.
