The error started a few days ago when parts of AIPS changed in the way it interprets some data, including what we use in the pipeline. If this occurred during your processing you would have seen see an obvious error message from the AIPS DBCON task. We will work on a long term fix, but for now we will fall back to the 31DEC14 release of AIPS, which should be perfectly fine to continue mapping as before. Please let us know if you have any other issues or questions.</font></font></span><div class=""><div style="widows: 1;" class=""><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif" size="2" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div style="widows: 1;" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;" class="">Joe</span></div><div class=""><div style="widows: 1;" class=""><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif" size="2" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">--</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">Joe Masters</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">Software Engineer</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">GBT Pipeline Program Manager</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">National Radio Astronomy Observatory</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">520 Edgemont Road,</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475, USA</span><br style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">Tel: </span><a href="tel:%2B1%20434-244-6806" value="+14342446806" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" class="">+1 434-244-6806</a></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
