• IPP:
  • Working on SQL optimizations in ippTools: I created a local copy of gpc1 on wednesday. The idea is in the end to have a small database which might be used for tests (likely not performance tests). I started to look at the various queries nut nothing fancy until now.
  • Tested the trac sectionedit feature and helped Cindy installing it

• PSPS:
  • Tested pyfits (FIPS files) and suds (SOAP Python layer to request similarly to PSI): both seem to fulfill what I expect. I'm currently building the Python framework for the unit tests. The purpose is to check if IPP2PSPS inputs are the same as the outputs obtained by querying the database.

• (Passport: I should go to San Francisco on 9/7 (I'm still waiting for an answer from French Embassy though))

• PSPS
  • successfully restarted loading to Maui cluster:
    • minor bug at PSPS end prevented loading, Sue fixed it quickly
    • a change in IPP proxy server prevented access to datastore
    • some minor DXLayer issues
    • at this point, MD 3,4,5 and 6 and a lot of 3PI have been loaded
  • Helped Jim investigate mysterious object ID assignment in DVO
    • created mosaicked images for relevant chips, found offending detections
    • meeting with Gene and Jim to discuss

• IPP
  • czartool
    • big changes to incorporate labels from update server
    • fixed fonts on czartool plots (can now see host names)
  • ippToPsps
    • added a Datastore class to perl code
    • DVO access very slow. Did some tests and discovered network IO was main issue, eg 9 min on ipp016 vs 2 min on machine with DVO Db
    • some work on my ODM polling script, now using ippToPsps Db class methods for query and update
  • Czar on Friday:
    • reprocessing of MD01 warps and nightly stacks with new tessellation, with help from Heather and Chris
    • MD01 changes to night science config and stdscience input file
