AG3 at RAL - Telecon 3 - 2008/02/29

Present: Ian Mccrea (IM), Peter Allan (PA), Silvia Dalla (SD) and Matthew Wild (MW)

Agenda

• update on RAL datasets
• actions from previous telecon

Minutes and actions

• STEREO datasets: Action from previous telecon completed: DSA has now been setup in front of EUVI, HI1, HI2, COR1, COR2. It has separate views for each instrument and s/c: total 10 views. ACTION SD: test these DSAs and comment; ACTION KB+MW: also add a STAP interface in front of these instruments.

• http proxy problem: MW updated the bugzilla bug (see: # 2326). Testing has been done and the problem persists. Action MW: do the test again and forward the info to the IT services at RAL, so that they can look in their logs. In the meantime we are leaving chunked http off.

• SOHO dataset: Action MW: create views for SOHO MDI data (separating magnetogram and white light data) - liaise with SD on registry entries, install DSA on SOHO MDI. Other SOHO datasets will be linked up later on. (Action carried forward from previous telecon).

• Registry curation: The action from previous telecon is being postponed due to switch from V0.1 to V1.0. Once we have registry V1.0 we will edit the registry entries. Upgrading to V1.0 should not need the DSAs to be upgraded (Action SD: check that this is the case - Update: yes these DSAs need upgrading to V1.0). Comment from MW: when filling in the properties file of the DSA, the documentation should make clearer which info will end up where in the registry entry.

• TRACE: The archive is up to 29 July 2006 at present. Action MW: continue update. Email Zoe. Try and get up to date for NAM - 31 March. (Action carried forward from previous telecon).

• CTIP: Action from previous telecon completed: CTIP mode B has now been fixed and the python wf completes ok. Action SD: Write doc page for CTIP using python, with workflow attached.

• General AG developments: PA: Tested vodesktop and it looks good. Used for data about quasars. ACTION MW: Do more vodesktop testing - look at all UKSSDC entries by creating a smartlist with Identifier containing 'ukssdc': this allows viewing of all registry info from UKSSDC datasets.

• VOTech funding for RAL activities. PA reports that there are proposals from various datacenters on using some VOTech money - we need to wait for results of the STFC review before a decision can be made.

Next telecon: Tue 25th March at 2:00pm.
