  • Worked on enhanced cost estimate justifications for Instrumentation Development SFR and 2-year CA extension proposal at the request of AURA/NSF.

Data Center team

Accomplishments

  • Added support for arbitrary X/Y loop order in DL-NIRSP Processing. The DC up till now assumed that the mosaic loop ordering is:

    X_step: Y_step:

    but in reality it can be any order. The DC needs to support both because the assumption of loop order is integral to how we parse aborts and figure out the shape of the completed mosaic.

  • Included processing candidate id in the failure ticket summary for ingesting a locked processing candidate. Failure ticket summaries previously specified the conversation id. The processing candidate id was needed and and now serves to distinguish the tickets in the Jira dashboard.

  • Created a dataset-inventory mask that allows incorrect values to be overridden. The DC encounters 2 types of errors in dataset-inventory. 

    • Ones that occur because of a problem/change  to a calculation, which the DC has to date fixed (the calculation) and regenerated the inventory, . 

    • Ones that occur because the header values that go into the calculation are wrong. 

This fix aimed at giving the DC a tool for all of the cases where a regeneration of inventory will not solve the problem while preserving the ability to regenerate dataset inventory to solve the first kind of problem.
