EES, IES, TMS, ACF, and DCF Daily CDF Production


Editting the batch file
  • Login to a machine as LZP. 
    cd /disks/juneau/cdf1/dailycdf/
mkdir batchYYMMDD
cd into your new directory
../makedaily -e -i -t -a -d
Creating the CDF files
  • Login to an empty machine as LZP.
  • In your new directory named batchYYMMDD type: 
    • ../idlstart
idl make_day_cdf_batch.pro
  • After IDL is done, check to make sure all of the CDF's were made. 
    ls
  • Enter any that were not made into the file of missing CDFs by openning up baddailies.log in a word editor. Log is in chronological order. 
    YYYY/MM/DD          data type (ees, ies, tms, acf, or dcf)
Checking the CDF files
  • Login to a machine as yourself. 
    cd /disks/juneau/cdf1/dailycdf/
idl startup
IDL>animate, "ees"
IDL>animate, "ies"

  • Check for any data anomalies.
Creating the .sfdu files
  • Login to a machine as LZP. 
    cd /disks/juneau/cdf1/dailycdf/batchYYMMDD
../cdfsfdu2 ees v01
../cdfsfdu2 ies v01
../cdfsfdu2 tms v01
../cdfsfdu2 acf v01
../cdfsfdu2 dcf v01
Sending the files to Goddard
  • Login to a machine as LZP. 
    cd /disks/juneau/cdf1/dailycdf/batchYYMMDD
ftp cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov
[User name is "fastgst"]
[Type in password]
ftp>bin
ftp>prompt
ftp>mput f*
Checking Which CDF's Have Been Made 
  • The day after the files are sent, CDHF sends status report via email.  Check to confirm they recieved all of the files you sent.
  • They also update their website at ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/istp/fast . Use this site also to find out which CDFs have been made in the past and which ones you should make.
  • There is also a log of dailies that have not worked in the past, Bad Dailies.
Notes 
  • When making several CDFs with the same batch file never excede 10 and run only one type of data (ees, ies, tms, ect.) at a time.
