Preliminary Wrapper script released

A first stab at a wrapper script (jsawrapdr) has been released to users in Hilo. It matches the interface specified by CADC.

What it does:

  • retrieve data files from the supplied list
  • convert them to NDF if required
  • determines the correct ORAC-DR instrument name based on the data
  • checks that PRODUCT information matches for all files
  • determines whether to run ORAC-DR or PiCARD
  • converts products back to FITS
What it doesn't do yet:

  • Provenance is not quite correct. It is possible to refer to a parent that will not be archived.
  • There is no standardised approach to logging Standard Output and Standard Error
  • dpCapture does not automatically copy products to the CADC transfer directory.
It's enough to get us started.

Provenance is now correct thanks to David's new ndgRmprv function in NDG.
