Software Release Note for core version 12.5

Dependencies

Fixed SPRs:

PHS:

	SPR 772	The proposal printing has been revamped, solving the problem described in the SPR (Key Programme not mentioned on subscription print-outs). (developer report)
	SPR 825	The default printer and orientation are now set to a sensible values (landscape on xprc8_q2 instead of portrait on the A0 printer).

OSS:

	SPR 803	Definitively closing this SPR. The SUM files (plain text format summary file) are not saved anymore. We use the HTML formatted version instead. (developer report)
	SPR 827	After opening OSS, if you go directly to the View tab, without selecting any other tab first, it will display incorrectly. Also, some of the items on the Selection tab, even though it is not selected initially and should therefore be hidden, appear through the initially selected tab if you click with the mouse. This has been fixed.

Implemented SCRs:

PHS:

	SCR 600	The Dither Pattern Generator has been rewritten, to use the scheme of pattern classes and all associated functionality, as it is used from OSS. This includes moving COP, orientation relative to the galactic plane (Screw 610), and output to a Sky Display.
	SCR 610	See Screw 600.

OSS:

	SCR 602	The scheduling window and the schedule progress monitor had inconvenient location, size, and/or zoom-level. This has been improved.
	SCR 605	The format of the statistics file has been updated according to specification.

CCS:

SCR 609

The import of a new IODB (or ED browser in MOC jargon) required a licensed Oracle tool (sqlldr) to import comma-separated text files into a few database tables. After the migration of the planning workstations from Suse Linux to Red Hat, this tool was not available anymore. Instead of buying two licenses, the functionality has been implemented in Java (and licensed to ISOC).

Other changes/comments:

• It is now no longer necessary to have user-specific settings in the file .isocrc in the user's home directory.
• The OSS Scheduling screen has been enhanced: it features a new area that shows whether the latest Flight Dynamics data files (/isoc/data/ORBI/received/) are waiting to be imported. The same area will summarize the PSF out-of-date warning that may have popped up while opening OSS.
• The OSS menu gives access to a new feature: Schedule approval request. When clicked, a window appears containing approval request email messages to Chris (the Project Scientist) for you to complete and send off, automatically attaching plot, summary and statistics when available.
