The SIM.PERF.MINSR keyword will be recognised when attaching a PS file to a NACO Acquisition Template, and it will be used to update the Constraint Set -- much like TEL.TARG.ALPHA, etc. for the Target. * [1195] Full validation of OBs through P2PP AppServer. If P2PP is started in Service Mode (connected to the P2PP Application Server) a new menu item File->ExternalVerification is displayed. The corresponding menu option executes Stage2 verification without the need for the user having EVMs loaded in their instrument directory. The Verify menu option and button still are accessible to do Stage1 verification. External verification is also performed before any OBs are checked into the repository. * [1426] Font size is now configurable. The optional keyword FONT.OFFSET.SIZE was added to site.cf or ~/.p2pp.cf. It can take an integer value between -4 and 4, to increase or decrease font sizes in P2PP and OT . * [1655] Added standard [clear] option to multiple selection pulldown menus in the Repository Browser, which deselects all currently selected options. The current Ctrl-Click functionality remains available, to select/deselect individual options. * [0930] New horizontal scrollbar for the templates grid in the details view. The switch from auto-resizing columns to scrollbar takes place when grid has more than 6 columns. * [1418] Operations Mode: New confirmation dialog for Save action. * [1568] Improved error message when an instrument is no available to server: it was "the server is busy or unavailable". * [1634] Eliminated hard-coded port numbers for the Application Server. Added APPSERVER.PORT and APPSERVER.DATAPORT to config/site.cf (for ESO internal use only). * [1653] P2PP is now available for SuSE Linux 7.3. The list of supported platforms now includes: ** SunOS (Solaris) 5.6 and 5.8 ** HP-UX 11.0 ** RedHat Linux 7.1 ** SuSE Linux 7.3 In all cases but SuSE Linux 7.3 the distributed platform-specific JRE (1.1.8) should be installed For SuSE Linux 7.3 one should use the system installed version instead. * [1064] User comment fields of Constraint Set and Target were removed -- user has now a single Observation Block comment area. * [0388] Solved "double CCS server" problem: if a CCS server called "schedule" is already defined, a second P2PP process with that name will not be allowed to run. * [0919] Reintroduced OBS.EXECTIME keyword in OBD file to support FLAMES. * [1652] Added support for P2PP clients running behind tight firewalls and requiring routing through an HTTP proxy server. See the comments to the definition of APPSERVER.HTTPPROXYHOST and APPSERVER.HTTPPROXYPORT in file config/site.cf. * [bugz/1769] Added explanatory comments to file config/site.cf. * [1672] In the Repository Browser, to select a column one must now click on the widget itself. In the previous versions of the software one could click on a much larger area. * [1650,0876] Browser column width calculation was reviewed; some columns should have a more reasonable size. * [1729] Improved performance of some EVMs. * [1758,1752] Added support for new 'opc70' database. * [1492] P2PP now checks if an OB belongs to a queue before trying to check it out. * [1408,1536] Reviewed action to "download" targets to pre-selected OBs. Action renamed to "Duplicate OB", submenus "with selected Targets" and "with all Targets". When the user selects the menu item, P2PP detects if the user has more than one OB selected in P2PP, then display an option message that only the first OB in the list will be duplicated; Synchronise should be a used if you want to paste a target into multiple OBs. * [1727] Fixed bug: EVMs would not run if instruments directory was redefined in ~/.p2pp.cf * [1766] Fixed bug: importing IMPEX files with empty name keywords was causing an I/O Exception ("An error occurred while reading/writing data"). * [1763] Fixed bug: Time Intervals end date was set to 'now' when clicking into its entry field. This led to OBs which are impossible to schedule. Clicking into the field now leaves the default unchanged. * [1765] Fixed bug: definitions found in configuration file in home directory ($HOME/.p2pp.cf) were not overriding those of site.cf * [1332] Fixed bug: in a Database Browser, shift-clicking (to complete selection) was not working right after completing a query: one needed to first click, although one row was already selected. * [1671] Reviewed generation of released database and server configuration files. * [1747] Updated list of supported keyword categories. New list includes: ADA AOS COU DEL DET DPR INS ISS OCS SEQ TEL * Cleaned up debugging print statements from the code. Edited startup script so that program output does not get discarded. * [1863/Bugzilla] Fixed bug: it was impossible to edit Time Intervals in super-user mode. * [1809/Bugzilla,1857/Bugzilla] Fixed minor bugs shared with OT. * Several user-invisible code changes. * Minor GUI changes. * Other P2PP problem reports: active... http://www.eso.org/~uss/ohs/jp2pp/P2PP-bugs.html ...and suspended: http://www.eso.org/~uss/ohs/jp2pp/P2PP-suspended.html ==> LIST AND ISSUE OF UPDATED DOCUMENTS: None. ==> ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: None. $Id: SEG-RELEASE-NOTES-p2pp,v 1.22 2002/07/25 11:26:39 amchavan Exp $
