[daip] Request for Support - RUNVLBA output not showing {External} {External}

[Emmanuel Bempong-Manful]

Dear Eric,

Thank you very much for your reply and guide.

I have now asked our IT support to setup “convert” on my machine – hopefully, this should help resolve the issue. I will keep you updated on how things progress.

Thanks again.

Cheers.
Emmanuel.

The procedure requires OUTFILE to be set to point at a directory to contain the html output.  That is not
the only thing that has to work.  Your computer needs to have a function called "convert" to translate
PostScript plots to gifs since PostScript does not work in html.  There is a special value of DOPLOT that
you can set to save the PostScript files if convert is not functional.   The process prints an awful lot of
messages - look at the message file in detail to see if there are error messages about plotting issues
and if you did not set OUTFILE properly.  I  cannot debug from an empty html file sadly.

Dear Eric,



I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you in your capacity as the person responsible for maintaining the VLBA data calibration pipeline.



I have run the VLBA AIPS pipeline, and it seem to have run successfully but when I open the .html file to view the logs and output, it’s blank. The pipeline does not produce any output or log files for me to inspect.



Is there something I might be missing here? I have attached a screenshot of the .html file for your perusal. Any ideas or support will be much appreciated.



Thank you.



Kind regards.

Emmanuel.
