• deneb-locate.py: find files on the cluster (limited to the /export/<node>.<disk>/nebulous directories)
• float and double in C/MS SQL/MySQL explanation to Heather and Conrad
• added the '-size' option to deneb-locate.py for Mark

Heather Flewelling

• ipptopsps
  • discovered why OB has duplicate objids: the regions in skytable.fits overlap
    • updated ipptopsps to cull objects that lie outside of a ra/dec region
    • copied over the older skytable.fits that does not have overlaps
    • redoing all SA_7 Batches for psps (easier to do this than for them to remove bad batches, and SAS is small)
  • ipptopsps proposed schema changes (see bold items in ​http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/ippToPsps_Object)
    • investigations with Gene/Conrad/Serge about size of ra/dec columns. Discovered that DOUBLE in mysql/C/python = FLOAT in ms sql server.
• dvo
  • ThreePi.V3.2012.Q2 died a painful death:
    • perl script ran out of memory (?) 18 times, and retried the same dvomerge 18 times
    • verified that in the dvodb (in images.dat and in the dvo itself) that there are 18 instances of that minidvodb
    • added (with help of gene) macros in pantasks.pro to not requeue tasks that have unknown_err (the merges did)
    • moved old ThreePi.V3.2012.Q2 -> moved old ThreePi.V3.2012.Q2.broken
    • requeued ThreePi.V3.2012.Q2 and restarted
