From Werner Fri Dec 10 17:26:16 1993 From: Werner (Werner) Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1993 17:26:16 PST Subject: [IGSMAIL-0411] IGS CBIS Updates Procedures Message-ID: ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail Fri Dec 10 17:26:16 PST 1993 Message Number 0411 ****************************************************************************** Author: Werner Gurtner Subject: IGS CBIS Updates Procedures Updates / Changes of Station- or Center-Related Information ----------------------------------------------------------- In order to keep the files in the Central Bureau Information System containing station- or center-related information up-to-date the following procedure for changes should be observed: - Download the current file from the Central Bureau Information System (anonymous ftp: sideshow.jpl.nasa.gov) to the responsible organization (e.g. operational center, station manager for those stations not connected to an operation center, data center, ...) - Add the new / changed information to the file including the date connected with the new situation so that the new file will always contain a full history of all changes. As an example see e.g. igscb/station/log/albh1293.log Do not insert tab characters nor non-standard ASCII characters into the file! - Send the changed file to the Central Bureau (E-Mail IGSCB at COBRA.JPL.NASA.GOV) to be included into the Information System - Send a short announcement of the changes to IGSMAIL at COBRA.JPL.NASA.GOV) for distribution Please always download the file immediately before you update it: The Central Bureau might have edited the file for various reasons after it was submitted the last time, and we do not want to loose those changes! A similar procedure should be used for new sites, too. There are blank forms available for download in the corresponding subdirectories. ******************************************************************************* * In order to make sure that the information in the System is as correct as * * it can be for the official start of the IGS on January 1st we would like * * you to have a look at the files of the sites or centers you are responsible * * for in the next few days and send corrected or updated versions to the * * Central Bureau following the above procedures. * ******************************************************************************* Thanks and regards, Werner Gurtner IGS Central Bureau
