Request to deploy astro-04-04-00 in L1Proc
Maria Elena Monzani posted on Dec 18, 2024

Summary

IGRF was updated L1Proc on to extend the IGRF model ( SSC-470 - Getting issue details... STATUS )

However, this change also required an update to astro, as we discovered due to multiple failures in L1Proc starting on  

Reason for change

Extend the IGRF model beyond 2024 in astro, to match the contents of IGRF-03-04-00.

Test procedure

Tests to compare the output of the astro package with the distributed fortran code from NOAA is here: Upgrading to IGRF 14 in the astro and IGRF packages (courtesy of Nicola)

Rollback procedure

No rollback is possible, as runs newer than 12/15/2024 won't process otherwise.

Code update procedure

This was done in a non-standard way, as both GR and L1 were patched "in place" (due to the lack of RM at present).

  • from here: /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/ground/releases/volume05/GlastRelease-20-10-04-gr07
  • delete the entire astro package from GlastRelease-20-10-04-gr07, clone it from git and check out astro-04-04-00

  • recompile astro in situ, with the following command:

    /afs/slac/g/glast/applications/SCons/2.1.0/bin/scons -C GlastRelease --with-GLAST-EXT=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat6-x86_64-64bit-gcc44 --site-dir=../SConsShared/site_scons --compile-opt astro

Request to deploy IGRF-03-04-01 in L1Proc
Maria Elena Monzani posted on Dec 09, 2024

Summary

We are requesting to update the IGRF model in L1Proc to version 14th, which includes 2025-2030.

Reason for change

The current IGRF model expires on 12/31/2024. We need to deploy the extension included in IGRF-14.

Code update procedure

IGRF will be patched "in situ" without requiring a new version of L1Proc, simplifying the deployment step.

We will use a symlink to update IGRF, in the same manner as we are doing for AlarmsCfg 

Detailed steps: 

  • L1 build location: /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/ground/releases/volume11/L1Proc/5.9
  • rename the existing IGRF and symlink: mv IGRF IGRF-03-01-05; ln -s IGRF-03-01-05 IGRF
  • clone IGRF:  git clone https://github.com/fermi-lat/IGRF.git IGRF-03-04-01; cd IGRF-03-04-01; git checkout IGRF-03-04-01
  • eval `/afs/slac/g/glast/isoc/flightOps/rhel6_gcc44/ISOC_PROD/bin/isoc isoc_env -c --add-env=root`
  • compile the new package: cd python; make clean; make
  • replace the symlink


Test procedure

IGRF-03-04-01 was tested separately. Results reported here: https://github.com/fermi-lat/IGRF/pull/1

Rollback procedure

Revert the symlink to point to the older version of IGRF

Request to deploy astro-04-03-00 in L1Proc
Maria Elena Monzani posted on Dec 09, 2024

Summary

astro was patched on the fly in L1Proc on  

Recording this change in CCB for posterity

Reason for change

astro fails extrapolation for altitudes below 500km.

Due to degradation of the orbit, we are observing lots of L1 failures.

Test procedure

This was patched "live" in L1Proc, to avoid reprocessing for failed runs.

Rollback procedure

No rollback is possible, as runs newer than 11/14/2024 won't process otherwise.

Code update procedure

This was done in a non-standard way, as both GR and L1 were patched "in place" (due to the lack of RM at present).

First of all, we patched the version of astro included in GR 20-10-04-gr07:

  • clone astro from git, checkout tag astro-04-02-00
  • patch the code and push to branch fix-altitude
  • tag from the branch as astro-04-03-00

Next, we patched GR in place after making an additional copy for testing):

  • the location is here: /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/ground/releases/volume05/
  • made a copy of GlastRelease-20-10-04-gr07 and renamed the un-patched version to GlastRelease-20-10-04-gr07-arch
  • deleted the entire astro package from GlastRelease-20-10-04-gr07, cloned it from git and checked out astro-04-03-00

  • recompiled astro in situ, with the following command:

    /afs/slac/g/glast/applications/SCons/2.1.0/bin/scons -C GlastRelease --with-GLAST-EXT=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat6-x86_64-64bit-gcc44 --site-dir=../SConsShared/site_scons --compile-opt astro
