At present time, P2 complains about requests provided by a2p2 (using PIONIER at least).

I will try to see if we can get more information by the programs. The p2api returns following error:
"JSON is missing required fields or contains extra ones."

Xavier, may scientists have a look on required dictionary updates in the a2p2 json files ?

Let's continue to fix such blocking issues some days before the 1august deadline !-)

Description

Currently, when one OB is submitted through aspro2 to Aspro with a parameter that does not match the instrument template requirement the user gets the following pop-up error message (example)

Value error :
K mag (2.310000) is out of ranges [2.500000,11.000000]
for this mode (tel=AT, spec=LOW, pol=OUT, dualFeed=False)
Aborting submission to P2. Please check LOG and fix before new submission.

This leads of all the OB submission process to be aborted by a2p2.

Desirable evolution

Improve the message

In order for the user to understand the message it should be modified as follows

Add
"WARNING: According to the template manual (Number P109b (provide most recent version))"
K mag (2.310000) is out of ranges [2.500000,11.000000] (replace ranges by range)
Add for target xxx (provide the target name corresponding to the incorrect OB)

Enable submission anyways

Such errors should not prevent the user to submit their OBs to P2. It is their responsibility to correct it.
So the a2p2 process should not be aborted and the "OK" button could be replaced by a simple "Proceed" button that will allow the submission.

as the title says!

Aspro2 allows AO selection (NAOMI modes, MACAO or CIAO modes) that remains to be supported by A2P2 (and P2 ?)

aspro2 21.10 beta 7 + a2p2 v.0.3.7 :
sendind an object (gravity or matisse or pionier all the same), gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

comes from line 137 in instrument.py where vltitypePref is not correctly initialized, setting
vltitypePref=['snapshot']
instead at this line saves the day.

IMHO this comes from vltitypePref not present in the xml sent by Aspro, but 21.10 beta 7 is the last availble Aspro distro.
Probably cannot harm if vltitypePref was set to ['snapshot'] when it is not present in the Aspro SAMP message.

I tried autopep8 tool which could help for the first big step

This very useful tool has never worked for me. I just tried again but I can't log in the ESO portal. It stays stuck with:

`
INFO - a2p2.gui - 2022-07-12 13:20:46,165 - gui.py:180 - Sorry, your PIONIER OB can't be submitted, please log in first, select container and send OB again from Aspro2.'

'INFO - a2p2.vlti.facility - 2022-07-12 13:21:07,264 - facility.py:170 - Connecting to p2 api...'

'INFO - a2p2.gui - 2022-07-12 13:21:08,635 - gui.py:180 - Connected to p2 api (production)`

I am on MacOs 12.2 and Python 3.8.13

We can change the container during the multiple step of a cal/sci OB ingest. Please lock it during all steps to avoid mismatch.

This make message exchanges between application easier for multiple instances.

see info online https://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/paranal/telescopes/vlti/configuration/P112.html

When obtained from Simbad or SearchCal, some star names start with the * character. P2 rejects this.

I added obTarget.name = obTarget.name.replace('*', '') after lines 69-70 in vlti/pionier.py

I suppose the same line should be added for GRAVITY and MATISSE. I tested for PIONIER only, it works.

Cheers.

Hi all,

I am trying to use a2p2 to put MATISSE OBs into p2 but I get the following error message:
In P2 my container ID is 2658970 whereas a2p2 looks for 105051700.

Could you please check it? (or did I do something wrong?)
Thanks!

Jacques

General error or Absent Parameter in template!
Missing magnitude or OB not set ?

the password for account is visible, and since it takes 1 full minute to connect to P2, this is a bit annoying...

main values can be defined in the preference file using existing queueserver, eg.:

queueserver = http://localhost:2468/test
queueserver = http://host1:2469/test, http://host2:2468/test,http://localhost:2468/test

the GUI may propose to select one or more to test and a field to enter a new value.

Dead line - mid March

At the moment it is O S (?)

The idea is to avoid the need to resend the OB from Aspro2. This will be easier for everybody. Next tutorial in preparation is waiting for this functionality to present for next operation time setup (june 23).

The supported ESO period should be mentionned as first important point

Hello,

I have a visitor run soon and I am trying to send VLTI/PIONIER OBs from Aspro, but it does not work for the SCI targets, while it works for the CALs. I have a popup error window (see attached screenshot), and the following messages in the LOG:

In ASPRO, one can link more than one calibrator to a star. When at least a pair object+calibrator is defined, a2p2 opens a folder on P2 with the name of th escience object. The folder contains the PB for the science object and the calibrator.
A2P2 should create in this folder all the calibrator's OBS, not the 1st one.

The main goal is to offer a way to share the management of the instrument specific rules.

Ideas are :

• make the maintenance code easy
• have a multi level validation process star / interferometer / instrument
