[Comm2011] Fwd: Re: Evalso-light

[E. Helmich]

Hi,

We did a test transfer via Evalso(-light) which according to the log went
at 7.3MByte/s (!). The transfer scripts only searches for FITS files (we
tried a dummy file with .fits extension, idea was to put md5sums in there,
- no luck, my guess is the fpack compression fails badly on fake .fits
files).

So, I will probably have to send md5sums separately by email. Further issue
is that I couldn't see the particular file on the FTP server in Garching.
This is because the transfer scripts assume the file is in format
OMEGA.<date-obs>.fits, which apparently the data handling software should
create (see Stefano's mail below).

One part (the first) in the chain is still missing: the services that
upload data from the IWS to the DHS are not running. Andrea is looking into
this. Problem is that here too, the knowledge and responsibility appears to
be fragmented. From the DHS the scripts are now set to transfer every
single file to Garching, so once we start we'll see soon enough how the
whole thing manages.

Hi Ewout,
   the file ended up in the wrong directory because of its
   name. The expected name is <OLAS_ID>.<timestamp>.fits
   which is the ESO standard archive name generated by OLAS.
   As far as I know the OLAS_ID for OMEGACAM is OMEGA therefore
   the filename should be OMEGA.YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.fits
   and it will be saved in directory /OMEGA
   (I will create a link on the FTP server for OMEGA)
