• ippToPsps development:
  • changes to ODM polling script to check subsets of batches, eg unloaded, un-merge_worthy or unmerged batches
  • after talking with Sue, I am now assuming all OnHold batches have failed
  • 'cleanup' and ODM polling scripts now run on a timer, i.e. they run every n hours

• PSVO development:
  • new class to limit how many rows are shown in the table after a slow query (to save memory)
  • fixed bug where query time was sometimes shown as NULL. Final query time now remembered and shown in info bar
  • TableModels now constructed within query thread so that timer gives accurate measure of total time taken
  • introduced a splash screen to improve loading
  • added a history table to local Derby database: all queries are stored here as well as number of rows returned, query time etc
  • added plugin queries to view and delete your history

• Loading to PSPS:
  • worked with Sue over duplicated stacks in merge: from previous screw-up with multi-client version of ippToPsps
  • yet more failed attempts to figure out batches lost after DXLayer file deletion
  • checked newly merged data, and updated PSPS news page with lots of plots

• Other:
  • sick on Monday
  • some pspshelp support
  • ran metrics code for last couple of lunations. Need to automate this at some point

• LAP: Identified what LAP czaring involves, and wrote documentation detailing how to determine the state and fix problems in the processing. Various bugfixes for minor inconveniences.
• Stare: Confirmed that new stare handling code does the right thing.
• Diskspace: Reworked neb-repair and targeting shuffle to be more robust and deal with newly identified problem files. Did a quick accounting of diskspace to confirm that the majority of disk space used over the past month can be accounted for based on the number of jobs launched. Cleaned old STS data that had the retention time set to a very large number. Changed that number back to match other surveys.
