| | 2 | == New for Postage Stamp Request Version 2 == |
| | 3 | This page describes new features available in the IPP Postage Stamp server with version 2 of the |
| | 4 | request specification released 2013-05-02. A pdf of the specification is attached to [wiki:PostageStampServer]. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | === Request File Header === |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | New keywords are defined for the header |
| | 9 | ACTION string "PROCESS" |
| | 10 | EMAIL string email of user submitting the request |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | ACTION is a new keyword that tells the system what to do with the request file. |
| | 13 | Users building and submitting their own request files should set ACTION to "PROCESS". |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | The web interface will use other values for this keyword to trigger the server's "preview" mode. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | EMAIL is used to track the user that submitted the request file. Users are encouraged to provide |
| | 18 | a valid value. (We promise no spam ;) |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | === Request Table Columns === |
| | 21 | The most important new feature of Version 2 is the integration with the IPP's new release tracking |
| | 22 | system [wiki:ipp_release_tracking]. The IPP now has tables which clearly identify collections of |
| | 23 | runs with certain versions of the pipeline. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | Two columns in the request specification are used to select images of interest using the release system. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | SURVEY_NAME is a string used to select which survey from which to select images. |
| | 28 | Allowed values are the same as the PSPS survey definitions. |

| | 66 | Note that at this time the release tables are only populated for 3PI, SSS, and the MD surveys. |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | IPP_RELEASE is used to specify a particular target release. If the user knows |
| | 70 | the precise reduction for a particular exposure or stack skycell this parameter |
| | 71 | is used. Note that if a particular release is not specified, the system will choose |
| | 72 | the "best" by preferring data from higher "priority" releases. |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | For example the most recent "grand reprocessing" of the 3PI survey is identified with |
| | 75 | the IPP_RELEASE 3PI.PV1. If a user requests stamps from a particular position |
| | 76 | on the sky, images will be selected from 3PI.PV1 for exposures that were included |
| | 77 | in that release. Images will be selected from the 3PI.nightly release for |
| | 78 | exposures that were observed after the processing for 3PI.PV1 was done. |
