• Code changes prior to SAS/MD4 loading:
  • populating un-convolved fluxes in StackApFlx table
  • incorporating filterID into stackDetectID to avoid key violation for multi-filter stacks

• SAS loading:
  • started testing with a test DVO provided by Heather
  • much confusion over stack_id/sky_id/path_base for new stacks in DVO
  • worked on very convoluted way of getting correct cmf file for a given stack_id for new multi-filter stacks
  • had to stop loading SAS and pull all batches from datastore after issue discovered with z-frames
  • restarted loading and completed with new DVO created by Heather

• MD4 loading:
  • dusted-off old code to convert DVO databases to MySQL
  • converted new MD4 DVO to MySQL in 24 hours
  • processing was much faster, but still too slow to load in time for ORR. So...
  • made a database dump of MD4 and restored it to numerous hosts in order to run multiple clients
  • loading completed in 24 hours

• Other:
  • completed loading of RA 6-18 hrs RA for OLD survey, i.e. half the sky
  • very carefully republished all the failed/OnHold batches from a list provided by Conrad
  • investigated issue of large numbers of NULL fluxes in new stacks
  • updated the PSPS news page with plots after merge completion

• MD: evaluating extent of MD06,08 lost on ipp064.
• staticsky
  • preparation of MD04, SAS.footprint.123, SAS2.123 data sets for loading dvo+PSPS. New reprocessing of MD04 camera exposures destreaked. New re-run of SAS fixed missing footprint stacks but are now missing SAS2.123 stacks.
  • continued testing faults in psphotstack
