[evla-sw-discuss] OMS version 2.4.0

[Jim Ogle]

Running oms off gygax, says it is 2.4.0.  Scenario works but the SCHED tab in the array schedule window does not.

The Build Files window seems to be slow to start working , when I tell it to build ce1.if it spends what seems like a lot longer on the "load observing" step than I remember it taking when I last ran the task a month ago. Once it finishes loading it zips through the actual build process.  While it is slowly loading the observing, the rest of OMS also slows down and it seems like nothing will actually execute until the build files window finishes what it is doing. With the old version of the program I could continue using other parts of OMS while that ran.

> We have moved up the versions of OMS.  The current version is 2.4.0, which
> is the version previously running under test.
> Changes:
> Uses a java version of the 'scenario' program, which:
>      Is much faster than having it run remotely
>      Gives better diagnostics
>      Gives extra priority to higher frequency observations For some users with
> login-based database credentials, it is
>     no longer necessary to enter a password The 'sched' program is also run
> locally rather than remotely.
> There is a new main program, with launch script 'gps2clock',
>     which reads GPS data from monitor data and stores it in
>     the vlbaparm database.
> 
> I believe the old version is still available through the 'oms-old'
> launch script.
> 
> I have not tested this at all, but the windows versions 'winoms-old'
> will probably work, and 'winoms-current' may work, but will be missing some
> features, especially the ability to run 'sched'.
> 
> The 'oms-test' script currently executes the same version, but I shall soon
> replace it with something more exotic.
