Configuration

JSOC workstation configuration is tracked in the Workstation Tracking List, which should be updated whenever any of the following things are changed in any of the workstations:

Name
Location
Computer SN or TAG #
Monitor
OS Software
EGSE Version
IDL licenses
EGSE Database
SFID
Anything else of note (disk replacements, mother-board or cpuid chip replacements, etc).

There is a reminder in the JSOC Maintenance Google calendar to check that this is updated every 3 months.

The workstations should be rebooted every 2 months. this is tracked in the JSOC Maintenance Google Calendar.
Because workstations are occasionally rebooted for various reasons in between the two-month markers, you should check the "uptime" when the the reboot date rolls around and see how long all the workstations (JSOC-IOC, SDP, and MOC) have been up.
This computer was last rebooted 37 days ago:

> uptime

11:26 up 37 days, 19:14, 11 users, load averages: 0.24 0.22 0.13

Installing the EGSE
How to Update EGSE Limits
Use the IDL routine "check_limits.pro" to automatically check EGSE limit status.
Limit files

The FOT has limits too (RDL), so when you update the EGSE limits you must alert them to do an overlay on their RDL limits. Every once in a while they will do a database update, incorporating the overlays into the actual database.

To get to the SDP machines from the IMG machines in the JSOC (useful if you want internet access on the same computer):

> ssh -X jsocioc@j0

Password: [usual JSOC password]

> ssh -X sdotc@aiasdp-mon OR ssh -X sdotc@hmisdp-mon

Password: [usual JSOC password]

Area	Path
Root cron jobs	/disk1/health_mon/cron/
Website IDL	/egsesw/IDL/web/
Website files	/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps/
Telemetry files	/disk1/log/packets

All IOC Linux workstations are capable of commanding either AIA or HMI, with a few alterations, if needed. See how to switch instrument configuration for commanding (to switch from commanding HMI to commanding AIA).

If you try to connect to audi (for example) on the mon machine, but the cmd machine is already connected, you will get ANS messages saying the socket died on Audi. To avoid this, once you realize that you can't connect for telemetry, click "ssim_tm" "disc" to tell the MON machine to stop trying to connect.
A table of what workstation should be connected to what MOC machine can be found in the Workstation Tracking List.
If Audi or BMW goes down, we may not be notified when they come back up, so make sure to speak with someone at the MOC and ask them to notify you when it comes back up so you can reconnect the workstations.
