Action 93.1 Demo of the dashboard was carried out.

  • Steve reported that a bug was found in the ICAT 4.6 release. The bug only affects the call to update. Advice was to move to 4.6.1.
  • Logging in ICAT 4.7 has been transferred from the Log table to JMS messaging. The logging data will now be captured and processed by the Dashboard. The format of the ICAT JMS messages will be the same as the IDS ones.
  • Tom reported that the Globus server is moving from development to production in the coming month.
  • Jody reported that TopCat has had many small improvements. Mainly aimed towards ISIS requirements. It was also reported that TopCat in the coming month will be pushed into production for both Diamond and ISIS.
  • Alex commented on how the TopCat installation is straightforward and very similar to how other ICAT family components are installed.
  • Alex demonstrated the Dashboard with it’s current features. Feedback was generally

positive.
