LR CODE documentation

Configuration control location:: /data/acis/LoadReviews/cvs-repository/lr
Execution location:: /data/acis/LoadReviews/scripts/lr; /data/acis-bak/LoadReviews/scripts/lr_bak

Code Description:
The lr script is a wrapper PERL script that speeds up the load review process. This script generates a uniform directory structure for each load review. It gathers needed files from the OFLS via ftp to "lucky.harvard.edu," and executes acis-backstop.pl to commence the load review and generate the output products to be reviewed by the ACIS scientist on-call. It also executes several other codes to collect ancillary data for the load review to be completed. The script requires that the user run it from the HEAD-LAN and is executed from the command line as follows:
lr {load under review} {previous load} {print option}

Options:

-b or --break: To run when the load on board has been interrupted or when a new load is in place.
-s :to present a new OCAT server to look up the ACIS OCAT entries. This option can occur at any point in the command line.
-n : To pass a new host name to the python scripts. The python scripts MUST be executed on a linux platform. (default is acis.harvard.edu)
-t: a full pathname to a test directory

Code flow:
The code flow is as follows:

Determine the operating system and set proper binary directories
Parse the load name and create variables for directories
Confirm user is ACISDUDE
Build all directories
SFTP over to lucky and collect username to pass to lucky.
Unzip the tar file and collect all needed files
If break option set, run the lr_break subroutine to collect information to create an edited history file.
Run the Health and Safety script: LRHS (no docs)
Run acis-backstop.pl.
Set softlinks for the ofls directory.
Print ACIS Tables names.
Determine bad solar angles for PSMC and DEA with saa_checker.pl.
Determine any bright X-ray sources that may cause damage to ACIS if they linger in the field of view with bright-source.
Run all thermal prediction software starting with:
- fptemp_sens_finder.pl: collects obsids that are sensitive to temperatures
- run_models.pl: runs the following models:
  - psmc_check
  - dea_check
  - dpa_check
  - acisfp_check
- Create webpage for thermal code with mk_thermal_html.pl
Execute earth-acis-FOV software to determine location of earth on the radiator shades and plot the data with plot_FOV_data.pl.
Set the current load name into the file **ace_helper**
Delete backstop file and rezip the tarfile.
Copy the directory to /data/acis_bak.
