Procedure for New Reference File Types
Add new reference files to the system
In order to get new reference files into the system and for them to be used in
the pipeline and appear in the header of calibrated data, three PRs have to be filled
against: CDBS, OPUS,and STARVIEW (Also against SI for ICD 47 changes;
we don't have an example of this PR).The PR can be filed at the
STScI Problem Report System .
There could be cases, however, when the reference files will not require use
by the pipeline, and may not go into StarView; in those cases only fill the PRs which cover the systems applicable to
your reference files.
If you have any doubts about which PRs are needed, please contact the INS/CDBS Group
(cdbs_at_stsci.edu).
Examples are:
CDBS PR:
PR 42445
or PR 45386
for CDBS: this states that the new files should be defined in CDBS in order for them
to be ingested in the database.
OPUS PR:
The OPUS PR covers instructions to OPUS on how to use the new reference files
and on adding KEYWORDS to the data; so information related to KWDS now
have to be put in the OPUS PR. Since in the past these were separated, here we show
them in two separate PRs; however, keep in mind that from now on all the necessary
information should be contained in the OPUS PR only.
PR 42444
or PR 45388
for OPUS: states that new header keywords for listing this files have to be populated
in the primary header, that a new field has to be added to the CATALOG database.
PR 42442
or PR 45387
for KWDB (this information should go in the OPUS PR): states that new header keywords
for listing this files have to be added to the primary header.
ICD-47 OPR:
The IDC47
document has to be updated too. Just submit the additional changes to
Warren Miller and CC the changes to the INS/CDBS Group. They will see that the document
gets updated.
