Important Changes for Release 1.9
SAOtng 1.9 is a major release in which the original Xt-based XPA 1.0
messaging system has been redesigned and reimplemented. XPA 2.0 is a
socket-based, tcl-enabled, broadcast-enabled messaging system that is
faster, more flexible, and more robust than its predecessor.
Information about xpa 2.0 can be found on the Web at:
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/xpa/index.html
or in the saord/xpa-2.0/doc directory in this release.
Because this is the first release of xpa 2.0, we are most anxious
to hear about any problems that you might have. Please send mail
to saord@cfa.harvard.edu.
Here are a list of changes to xpa that will be of interest to users
of SAOtng:
- Multiple instances of SAOtng having the same name now can be run at
the same time on the same machine. If you use the same name for more
than one SAOtng, XPA commands can be sent to multiple image
displays simultaneously.
- The new XPA system uses its own access control mechanism, rather
than X11 access controls (xhost, xauth, etc.). If you are running
SAOtng on one machine and using xpaset and xpaget on another, please
read the XPA documentation on access control in saord/xpa-2.0/doc/acl.html
or http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/xpa/acl.html.
- XPA commands no longer have a resolver routine (this is open to
negotiations, but we decided the idea was dumb). For the SAOtng
program, this means that you have explicitly specify the fits access
point, i.e.,:
cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng fits
instead of:
cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng
- By default, xpaset, xpaget, etc. now wait for the server callback to
complete; i.e., the old -W is implied (and the switch is ignored).
This allows support for better error handling. If you want xpaset, etc.
to return before the callback is complete, use -n switch:
echo "file foo.fits" | xpaset -n SAOtng
- The old -w switch in xpaset and xpaget is no longer necessary (and is
ignored), since you can have more than one process communicating with
an xpa access point at one time.
- The new -p switch on xpaset means you need not read from stdout:
xpaset -p SAOtng colormap I8
will send the paramlist to the SAOtng callback without reading from stdin.
We no longer automatically add the saord/bin.[arch] directory to
the path used by SAOtng. (For some reason, there were a lot of user
complaints about this.) Instead, every saord program run by SAOtng
(xpaget, xpaset, scaling programs, analysis programs etc.) makes use
of the SAORD_BIN environment variable to specify the path of the saord
program. The downside to this is that if you run your own analysis
programs from within SAOtng and you use saord programs as part the
analysis command line (e.g. xtext), then you also should make use of
the SAORD_BIN environment variable to specify the path of these saord
programs.
