(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• IPP czar 2 days
• MOPS czar all week
• Fixes (IPP failures, database crashes)
• SAS2 for MOPS

Heather Flewelling

Roy Henderson

• Only worked for half the week, vacation the rest

• various discussions about the PSPS changes necessary to host both previous and current versions of 3PI data
• worked with Mark on the test-lopp stuff:
  • implemented some more 'test-mode' code to hard-code certain values if missing from test data
  • problem with renamed extension ('chip' rather than eg XY33)
  • issue with DVO database. Investigated and found missing ID columns in cpm file, eg EXT_ID

• started work on dvoToMySQL code to investigate duplicates in DVO cpm files discovered before Boston trip:
  • a lot of changes to dvoToMySQL program due to recent changes in other classes
  • code now at stage where I can produce a MySQL Db. Will try it this week

• added sorely needed comments to Jython ippToPsps code

Mark Huber

• MD10.V3 work continued - finished reprocessing of exposures through warp, remaining nightly stack reprocessing started and datastore distribution setup. Testing of ppSub automatic choice for convolution direction continues.
• simtest IPP to PSPS test sample of camera SMFs and generated DVO catalog more complete now.

Bill Sweeney

• spent most of the week catching up after a 3 week vacation.
• 2 days as processing czar. Spent endleuss hours repairing faults.
• talked with Zeliko Ivezic about getting the LSST project some sample PS1 data. Regenerated some sample data for him using the postage stamp server.
• Kick started the STS processing which got stuck during my absence.
• started working on new data base tables to support the new video photometry stage.

Chris Waters

• LAP: rewrote code to deprecate quickstacks. Preliminary test on faked data seemed to work correctly, but a full test with real data still needs to be done.
• ROC: ran validation code to determine what can be rsynced to the ATRC. Cleaned rsynced data, and now need to correct the files that did not validate correctly.
• DQstats: multiple bugfixes to correct missing exposures and repeated publishing of data quality statistics to OTIS.
• SAS: finished SAS processing. Will clean it up once MOPS has received all stamps.
• MOPS Ghosts: Helped track down positions of ghost detections, and identified that they likely belong to two classes of likely reflections. Wrote script to help identify future ghost objects.
