Subject: omichain fails: unable to open sas summary file

Full_Name: ilaria cagnoni
Submission from: (NULL) (193.206.163.9)


I was trying to reprocess one OM image (with SAS5.4.1 on a redhat linux pc) 
to check if there are significant changes with previous versions, 
but omichain fails to open the SAS SUMMARY FILE, which 
does not give problem to any other SAS task and seems to be properly set.

omichain  inpdirectory='/home/ilaria/pks2155/XMM/ObsId0080940101/odf/' \
outdirectory='/home/ilaria/pks2155/XMM/ObsId0080940101/SAS5.4.1/OM/' \
filters='800' exposures="006"
** omichain: fatal error (OMICHAIN), Unable to open SAS SUMMARY FILE 

echo $SAS_ODF
/home/ilaria/pks2155/XMM/ObsId0080940101/odf/0174_0080940101_SCX00000SUM.SAS

Dear Ilaria

In order for omichain to work you do not need to specified neither inpdirectory,
if it is already defined in the SUM.SAS file, nor outdirectory, which is the
current directory. If you just run

omichain

it should work (SAS_ODF should point to the SUM.SAS file).

I hope this solves your problem. Let me know if it is not the case.

Regards,

									Rosario

Dear Rosario,

omichain seemed to work, but I had to reprocess all the observations.
I wanted to check whether it was necessary to reprocess all of them by
reprocessing 1 image only.
For example I wanted to have as output the image:
P0080940101OMS006IMAGE_0000.FIT

I tried with
omichain filters='800' exposures='OMS006' 

but 
Eval error: Died at
/software/sas/v5.4.1/xmmsas_20030110_1802/lib/perl5/omichain.pl line
1113.
** omichain: fatal error (Perl interpreter failed on omichain), 
I tried also with exposures='006' , same result.

Did I specify the exposure in the wrong way or is it a probelm related
to something else?

thanks a lot
ciao

ilaria

Dear Ilaria,

Sorry that I did not realize that the parameters names were not correct in the
previous message, since I was focusing on the SUM.SAS problem.

filters are called by their name (eg filters='V') and exposures just by numbers
(exposures='007').

Please let me know if it works now.

Regards,

           Rosario
