  • 6/17/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 1011, through run 329923889 (2011-06-16 13:31:27 UTC), 889 new runs.
  • 4/19/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 10, through run 324849509 (2011-04-18 19:58:27 UTC), 52 new runs.
  • 4/15/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 9, through run 324551768 (2011-04-15 10:51:27 UTC)
  • 4/13/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 8, through run 324368491 (2011-04-13 06:21:29 UTC)
  • 4/3/2011 - The three missing runs have been produced by Level 1. Runlist recreated and those runs rolled back. There are no missing runs at this point.
  • 3/29/2011 - Due to some hidden I/O problems, two changes have been made to this task, neither of which should affect data content. Note that this change will take effect on runs after 321756673, or any runs rolled back after this date.

  • 3/17/2011 - Last block complete (one instance of skimmer failure in mergeClumps)
  • 3/15/2011 - Expand P120 to present (last run 321756673, 2011-03-14 00:51:11 UTC). Three runs continue to be dummied out. Once those runs have proper RECON files, their streams can be rolled back.

  • 2/4/2011 - Expand P120 to present (last run 318211122, 2011-01-31 23:58:40 UTC). This include three runs for which there are no Recon files which have, for the moment, been supplied with 'dummy' entries in the runFile.:

    missing 700s, being worked on

    'bad chunk' - awaiting GR update

  • 1/12/2011 - Expand P120 coverage to include Crab ToO
    • Crab ToO 9/23/2010 15:50:50 to 9/27/2010 19:49:38, corresponding to MET r0306949696-r0307308940
    • reconfig through end of Sep 2010: 10916 -> 11841 runs, increase of 925 runs
    • No recon file for run 306353950 (being worked on, for the moment, place dummy file in runFile.txt)
    • First run in new block completed, awaiting checkered flag to continue...
  • 8/29/2010 - Discovered three merge steps that silently failed (xroot file access). TASK complete.
  • 8/28/2010 - processing formally complete (10916 runs), but some discrepancy in # of events
  • 8/26/2010 - serious xroot problems. See initial distribution of files across xroot servers. From this report (courtesy Wilko) it is easy to see where problems are likely to arise - when the number of servers involved is small, e.g. two or three.
  • 8/19/2010 - production continues at a crawl due to xroot server difficulties
  • 8/16/2010 - resume full production, but at a slow trickle (max 350 simultaneous processClump jobs)
  • 8/8/2010 - block 2 reprocessing complete. Many xroot server problems. (5 days to process 2084 runs)
  • 8/3/2010 - begin block 2 reprocessing (through 255132033 MET), bringing the total runs reprocessed to 2721, about 5-1/2 months of data.
  • 7/28/2010 - block 1 re-reprocessing complete
  • 7/27/2010 - New GlastRelease (v17r35p10) containing new evtUtils, "to make the FT1EventClass bits compatible with the ScienceTools". Cleanup, including removing all files created last week during the first attempt.
  • 7/21/2010 - block 1 reprocessing complete
  • 7/20/2010 - agree upon 'pilot block' of runs (239557417 - 243220241), 637 runs. Begin...
  • 7/19/2010 - submit first test run. success. await feedback

This task generates all desired FITS data products. An example of the code processing chain appears on a child page.

Status chronology

  • 7/3/2011 - Task complete through run 329923889 (2011-06-16 13:31:27 UTC), 15,763 runs
  • 6/30/2011 - New ST 09-24-00 (with gtdiffrsp fix), restart trials with task version 2.1
  • 6/14/2011 - Begin trials. Concern that gtdiffrsp is crashing often (20-25% of time)
  • 6/7/2011 - IMPORTANT UPDATE: a decision was made to rollback entire task with these changes:
    • calculate diffuse response for 'source' and 'clean' event classes
    • Produce new subset photon files for FSSC (FT1 with source and above, LS1 with transient and above)
    • Update various configurations (ScienceTools, evtClassDefs, etc.)
      This is being done by creating a whole new task, version 2.0, which from the pipeline perspective will overlay the older version 1.0.
  • 4/19/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 10, through run 324849509 (2011-04-18 19:58:27 UTC), 52 new runs.
  • 4/15/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 8, through run 324551768 (2011-04-15 10:51:27 UTC)
  • 4/14/2011 - Begin and complete reprocessing block 7, through run 324368491 (2011-04-13 06:21:29 UTC)
  • 4/3/2011 - The three missing runs have now been reprocessed. There are no missing runs at this point.
  • 3/17/2011 - Catch up with P120-MERIT (last run 321756673, 2011-03-14 00:51:11 UTC)
  • 3/15/2011 - Due to missing run, rollback runs 11624-11841. Bookkeeping is now correct.
  • 2/4/2011 - Catch up with merit production (through 30 Sep 2010), but with one missing run/stream
  • 1/28/2011 - Pass 7.4 reincarnation of this task complete through 31 Jul 2010
  • 1/24/2011 - Entire task, xroot files, dataCat entries deleted. Prepare to reprocess as Pass 7.4
  • 8/31/2010 - Pass 1 of this task is complete (through 31 July 2010)
  • 8/30/2010 - Problem with makeFT1 stressing /u38 (very large temporary file needed when using xml representation of event classes was being written to $PWD). Jim makes update to fitsGenApps => ST 09-18-03, put into production at stream 1400.
  • 8/29/2010 - Begin Pass 1 of task...
