NetDRMS Release Notes

Version 2.4

Significant changes since Release 2.3

• Added JMD distribution kit JMD.war and drms_export_cgi_NetDRMS_v2.4_v1.2.tar.gz in the root directory; Documentation available at http://vso.tuc.noao.edu/VSO/w/index.php/Main_Page
  N.B. the inclusion of this kit is the only difference between the beta and final versions of this release.
• Modified DRMS to use SUM_infoEx() – this allows modules to make SUNUM-batched requests of SUMS; modified jsoc_info and jsoc_fetch to use SUM_infoEx() and batch SUNUMs, instead of asking for them one at a time
• SUMS now supports multi-SUNUM SUM_put() requests
• Changed jsoc_export_as_fits and jsoc_export_as_is to report export-payload size in MB, not bytes
• Added code to the series publication code to properly identify which transaction is blocking a publication. Add some more logging to the unpublish code.
• New slony-replication code for merging replication sets, monitoring slon daemons, publishing series, unpublishing series, and auditing the publication process.
• Changes to subscribe_series to not use the ssstate.txt file by default; to use that, you need to use the -r flag
• Combined redundant variables shared by get_slony_logs.pl and subscribe_series. Also, put these variables into a single configuration file: repclient.template.cfg.
• Added flag -k to delete_series to allow deletion of a series without having SUMS removing its SUdirs.
• Made sum_export localizable.
• In show_info, if a SUnum isn't known to the local SUMS, print a warning.
• Plugged some critical leaks in sum_svc.
• Numerous bug fixes

NetDRMS 2.4 is a subset of JSOC Version 5.10, q.v.
