Adding targets and Programs to the queue

Queue tool

Targets are updated from the queue tool ​http://nossy/noss/RA/interface/?t=1&a=queuetool from inside the firewall.

Notes

Sometimes after adding a new target to the queue the target will appear as all white and you can not gain access to this. If this happens try shutting down htopx and then log into astronomer@nossy and running the script /data1/nossy/www/html/noss/tri_tools/DB_UPDATE_DAILY which will update the targets windows for today. Note that this takes quite a while to run so just let it go for a few minutes. Then you should restart htopx.

New Allocations

There are three steps required when accepting new allocations:

1. Accept/add new allocations from the allocations tool ​http://nossy/noss/RA/interface/?t=1&a=allocations from inside the firewall.

2. Then, add the PI to the program(s), by finding them under the User tab: ​http://nossy/noss/RA/interface/?t=1&a=users clicking their name, and adding that specific program to their list of programs.

• Here are the steps needed for this

• You do not click the user names, but rather the "Edit" button.
• Go to the "Program Acess" section and clck on the "Select" button. Find the desired new program for this user, amd click it.
• Mark PI button radio button.
• hit Update button at bottom of page. }}}

3. If steps #1 and #2 are successful*, in the Night Report on nossy, click the "Contact Emails" link and in the pop-up window that opens, click the button labeled "Check new program" and verify that the new programs appear in this list.

*If the PI does not have a Hydra account, you must wait until they create it to complete steps #2 and #3.

Also note that if a PI submits program notes, they may be specifying additional contact emails which need to be added manually to the Contact Emails list in the NR.

Email lists

The following email lists are updated daily to include PIs and coIs (TBD?) of all programs:

• het-pi@het.as.utexas.edu (all HET users with allocations for programs in current and next trimester)

• het-pi-lrs2@het.as.utexas.edu (all users with allocations and LRS2 targets)

• het-pi-virus@het.as.utexas.edu (all users with allocations and VIRUS targets)

• het-pi-hpf@het.as.utexas.edu (all users with allocations and HPF targets)

(note that these lists all include astronomer@…, as well)
