NetDRMS Release Notes
Version 2.5
Significant changes since
Release 2.4
- Moved all FITS-export code out of lib DRMS and into a new library in
base/export/libs/exportDRMS.
- The COMMENT and HISTORY keywords are now exported into the FITS header
when a record being exported contains those keywords.
- Added 'RECNUM' to set of FITS keywords exported during export of FITS
files.
- Modified the jsd parser to print a warning if provided external
keyword name (in the keyword description) is RECNUM, since this will
collide with the auto-export of RECNUM.
- New module set_info - this is virtually identical to set_keys,
except that it will also copy FITS files into series that contain
FITS-protocol DRMS data segments.
- Created newdrmsuser.pl, a script that facilitates new user creation;
it creates the default/appropriate entries in the db and it runs
masterlists.
- Modified the DRMS library code that interfaces with SUMS to attempt
re-connection in the event that the existing SUMS connection
vaporizes.
- Added a jsoc_main parameter, "--loomain", that causes modules to
loop attempting to connect to SUMS when the initial SUMS-connection
attempt failes. By default, if the initial SUMS-connection fails, then
modules do not attempt to connect again.
- Add DRMS support for SUMS' storeset 1. If you create a series with a
tapegroup greater than 9999, then the storeset will be greater than 0
(storeset = tapegroup % 10000). The storeset controls which block of
/SUMXX gets used for that series. Currently, only storeset 0 and 1 are
used (1 means store on /SUM100, which is at LMSAL). 0 means store on
any of the other SUMS partitions.
- Add DRMSPGPORT to serverdefs.h. This is now a localizable define
that specifies the port to use on the PostgreSQL db used for DRMS.
- New SUMS API function - SUM_nop(). This can be called to check if
SUMS is running.
- Remove the trailing 'Z' in the DATE- and DATE__OBS-keyword values
when these keywords are exported. The trailing 'Z' is not allowed
according to the FITS-file standard.
- Numerous bug fixes
NetDRMS 2.5 is a subset of JSOC Version 5.12, q.v.
