• czartool:
  • moved code out of trunk/tools and into ippMonitor; made relevant changes to czartool webpage; now running as ipp from ~ipp/src/ippMonitor (i.e. not from my home dir anymore...)
  • added path field for plots in config so that czarpoll can save to any NFS accessible location, i.e. not /tmp on ipp004
  • changes to nebulous plot to show all ATRC machines
  • stopped generation of plots that are not displayed anymore - sped things up a bit
  • added two new pantasks servers: 'stack' and 'addstarlap'
  • updated documentation accordingly

• ippToPsps coding:
  • now making plots of loading per DVO database. Helps to visualize progress
  • lots of new static methods for batch classes to ensure batch names and paths are consistent across all programs
  • wrote cleanup program. Checks for batches merged but not deleted then removes them from local disk, datastore and DXLayer
  • now writing total detections to database and logging initial and final totals of detections for each chip, as well as totals for the whole exposure

• loading:
  • investigated issue with IN batch reported by Thomas: binary column being populated with a string: Fixed
  • speed issues: crazy-slow for galactic center. optimized some SQL updates, but likelihoods are the bottleneck. Needs work
  • some time investigating duplicate object IDs across chips reported by Thomas
  • began, and completed, loading of available LAP data

• other:
  • discussion and emails with Kent Wood
  • investigated issue of corrupted VOTable files from DRL reported by Dan Wood: Fixed
