• PSPS
  • Confusion over ra/dec ranges and corresponding Db slices. Now only slices for > -30 dec
  • IN batch issues: discussions as to whether to keep old for historical comparison
  • Wrote up a design (on IPP wiki) for a framework of a recovery system, based on conversations with Conrad
  • Schema changes:
    • survey name added to Survey table in IN batch
    • surveyID added to SkinnyObject
    • 64-bit (instead of 32-bit) ints for flags

• IPP
  • Updated 'photCode' parsing script to extract extinction values. Also updated with new zero points.
  • Now logging jobID and corresponding exposureID for auditing purposes. Ultimately, this will be stored in the Db.
  • Now populating detection flags from smf as well as pulling extra flags from DVO
  • surveyID stuff: pulling the right thing from IPP encoding in for PSPS

• Did some work insuring that the error codes returned by the postage stamp server for data

that is damaged or otherwise unavailable correctly reflect the situation.

• Updated pstamp_check_dependent to handle some error conditions encountered processing some requests.
• updated the pending update queries to wait until corresponding magicDSRun's have been cleaned up.
• Updated chip stage configuration and script to allow the raw images that have older burntool tables to be re-processed by 'update'.
• Built a dvo database of recent exposures for Eric Morganson of MPIA.
• Investigated query about incorrect stamp sizes from users. (The sizes were fine the coordinates were near a skycell boundary and we don't yet have overlapping MD skycells)
• Updated the postage stamp server interface control document (ICD). It is version 1 now.
• wrote a new postage stamp request file generator that has an interface that is easier to use.
