XINA Import

Overview

Cron jobs have been created to automate the import of the PACE/OCI telemetry archives into XINA. There are currently two separate jobs, but both work in a similar way:
  • ops_oci - downloads OCI*.oci archives and imports them into the XINA model "ops_oci"
  • ops_pace - downloads HSK*.HSK archives and imports them into the XINA model "ops_pace"

The jobs have been scheduled to run every 10 minutes, performing the following:

  1. Download up to 5 archives (configurable). Successfully downloaded archives are added to a local file "archiveIndex.txt". Archives in this file will not be downloaded again. If necessary, this file can be edited or even deleted to force the re-downloading of any previously downloaded archives.
  2. Process the archive into 10-minute segments and remove science data packets (i.e., APIDs 700 and 720).
  3. Upload the processed archives to the appropriate database/model in XINA.

These cron jobs are currently running on the "xina-run" server (run-oci-xina-io) in the $HOME directory of the user "mrburkhart".
