New Action Items
| 0117-01 | ThomasBoch | Avo Prototype: jump to version 2 |
| 0117-02 | SebastienDerriere | Simbad: open search by list plug-in to CDS external users |
| 0117-03 | SebastienDerriere | upload backdrop allsky.fits to AvoDemo2005Star |
| 0117-04 | Pedro Garcia-Lario | make sure demo machines at ESAC have enough memory for MSX manipulations (>= 1GB) |
| 0117-05 | SebastienDerriere, AnitaRichards | pre-cook filters and have local copy on disk as fallback |
| 0117-06 | ThomasBoch | include VOSpec's .java.policy file in InstallAnywhererelease package |
| 0117-07 | MarkusDolensky | fix IDHA WFPC2 assoc. service |
| 0117-08 | MarkusDolensky, Ivo Busko | bugfix: specview re-normalizing models; it starts failing when loading two or more lots of models in a session |
| 0117-09 | PaulHarrison | document how to avoid to accidentally override results, i.e., when to use separate MySpace users or distinct file or directory names |
| 0117-10 | ThomasBoch | drop ACE plug-in; it's replaced by Sextractor Web Service that comes as part of the AG framework |
| 0117-11 | NicholasWalton | flow chart for galactic case |
| 0117-12 | MarkAllen | investigate Spitzer cutout server; it returns wrong patches of sky |
| 0117-13 | PaulHarrison | fixing Pegase output which cannot be loaded into Specview |
Traps to avoid/overcome
AVOP ... AVO Prototype
| Component | Diagnosis/Hint |
|---|
| AVOP - Load | empty catalog result set generates very small dialog |
| AVOP - Load | "This query has already been submitted..." => perturbate query slightly |
| AVOP | MSX catalogue is very memory intensive: use -Xmx1000m at startup
make sure to kill stale JVMs beforehand |
| VOPlot | supports numeric columns only; i.e. filters on char columns need to be done in AVO prototype |
| VOSpec | requires .java.policy files => action 0117-06 |
| VOSpec | select proper region for OH 26.5+0.6 to avoid contamination of plot |
| Workflow | use separate MySpace accounts when demoing selected steps manually |
| Specview | Specview depends on file extension; make sure to name VOTables .xml and SEDs .txt |
Notes
Stellar Case
- [ML,Jesus]network speeds:
- ~150KB/s ESO MySpace to Vilspa
- ~150KB/s Spitzer cutout to Vilspa
- pre-load MSX catalog before starting demo presentation
- make sure to have local copy of catalogs, filters, etc. on disk
