Adding Images to a Run¶
This page describes how to add images to a completed run, including how to restore the run to the previous state if an addition goes wrong.
Note
Adding images to an existing run will update the sources already present from the respective run, such that the existing source IDs, comments, and tags are retained. If a full re-run was used instead then new IDs would be created and the comments and tags lost.
There is no limit on how many times images may be added to a run.
Step-by-step Guide¶
Warning
A run must have a Completed status before images can be added to it.
No other settings other than the input data can be changed in the config.
1. Navigate to the Run Detail Page¶
Navigate to the detail page of the run you wish to process, and confirm that the job is marked as Completed.
2. Add the New Images to the Configuration¶
Scroll to the configuration editor, enter edit mode and add the new images to the existing data inputs. If using epoch mode notation, add a new epoch(s) to the file.
Once all the images, selavy files, rms images and background images have been added, select the Write Current Config option to save the file.
Warning
Do not remove the previous images from the configuration inputs or change any other options!
Remember to make sure the order of the new input data is consistent between types!
3. Perform a Config Validation¶
Check that the configuration file is still valid by selecting Validate Config from the same menu as shown in the previous step 2 screenshot.
4. Process the Run¶
Select the Add Images or Re-Process Run button at the top right of the run detail page to open the processing modal window. Select whether to turn debugging log output On or Off and when ready select the Schedule Run.
Warning
Do not toggle Full Re-Run to On!
You can refresh the page to check the status of the run. You can confirm that the images have been added correctly by consulting the log output found below the configuration file. New images should have been ingested and output similar to the following should be present:
2021-04-02-21-14-31_log.txt
2021-04-02 21:17:00,628 association INFO Starting association.
2021-04-02 21:17:00,628 association INFO Association mode selected: basic.
2021-04-02 21:17:00,708 association INFO Found 7 images to add to the run.
Once the processing has Completed the run detail page will now show the updated statistics and information of the run.
Restore Run to Pre-Add Version¶
When images are added to a run, a backup is made of the run before proceeding which can be used to restore the run to the pre-addition version. For example, perhaps the wrong images were added or an error occurred mid-addition that could not be resolved.
For full details see the documentation page for restoring a run here.
Warning
Do not add any further images if you wish to restore otherwise the backup version will be lost!
