hideFrame

Description

This tool assists in creating a standardized hide (option 1) or header change request (option 2) to the archive:

1 - Hide frame(s) (hide invalid SCIENCE or CALIB frames) 2 - Change keyword(s) (e.g. from SCIENCE to CALIB)

In Option 1, the user is prompted to enter a list of ARCFILE names and a reason for the request. These files are then directly hidden (no DBCM ticket).

In option 2, the user is prompted for a list of ARCFILE names and the change request. That list is then sent to the email address of the Database content management (DBCM) group and creates a DBCM ticket.

Operational aspects:

• Hiding a raw file in the archive, and changing header keywords, are operations which are standardized with this tool
• The user can insert ARCFILE name(s) by typing, or copy and paste
• The extension .fits is automatically truncated by the tool.
• The user should provide a reason for changing or hiding, for the record.
• In option 1, the user should check for any of the hidden raw files to be removed from the files in the VCAL directory.
• In option 2, the user is prompted to confirm sending the request to dbcm-help@eso.org; a copy is sent to $OP_ADDRESS.
• The tool uses 'nail' to send the email; that tool delivers an email which appears to be sent by the operator's personal account (instead of the operational account) which makes auto-reply easier.
• The mail generates an AR ticket; the sender will be notified about the resolution upon closing the ticket.
