Accomplishments
Began work on updating the HLS-DC ICD to account for packaging of raw data prior to transfer from the summit. With the addition of DL-NIRSP data, transfers have taken well over 24 hrs to complete. This is due to the transfer of millions of relatively small files, which is not efficient for Globus. HLS and DC are planning on packaging up small files into larger .tar files prior to transfer from the summit, and the ICD must reflect this new paradigm.
Completed the removal of calls related to Proposal Completion status in the Ops tools. At one time, a Proposal Completion message from the OT to the DC was to be the triggerthat would start the 6 month proprietary period on data. when the decision was made to use the publication of the first dataset as the trigger, this message was no longer needed. subsequently , all the the related dead code on the DC was removed, and now the complementary dead code in OT was removed.
