CALDB INFO -
A vastly overhauled version of the CALDB Installation Guide is now available. This guide covers the setting-up of a local CALDB containing missions/instruments which are exact copies of those at the HEASARC (EZ_CALDB route). It also gives details of how to use a new Perl script install_caldb.perl (available soon), which will automate this installation procedure. Finally, the guide advises how to set up a `customised' CALDB which may contain (i) a non-HEASARC-supported mission and/or instrument and/or (ii) a HEASARC-supported mission but with personal/locally produced datsets added.

1996 Oct 01
- CALDB INFO -
A new version of the CALDB Installation Guide is available
which hopefully corrects all the gross errors & ambiguities in the
previous version. The current version should be considered a draft,
and does not cover the full customisation of your
local CALDB. However it does hoepfully now provide
clear instructions for setting up a local CALDB which mimics
that at the HEASARC - check out the EZ_CALDB route
described in the document.
Please give us feedback via
caldbhelp@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov

- CALDB S/W -
Unfortunately the release of much-anticipated script
(nominally called manage_caldb) which we hope will greatly
ease the maintenance of a local CALDB has been delayed
and will NOT be part of the forthcoming FTOOL 3.6 release.
We anticipate having a beta-test
version available by the end of 1996 October, and are seeking volunteers
outside NASA/GSFC willing to help us test the installation and running of
the script. No prior CALDB experience is necessary. Applications from
minority operating systems encouraged. If you are interested, please e-mail
caldbhelp@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov.
