hotfly = headers on the fly: this is a tool for
The source of information is the keyword repository (also called "SAFIQ"*
or the "warehouse"). This repository stores all header keywords, including the
ones from extensions. Technically, it is an "inverted" database table where all
keywords are essentially stored as "name - value" pairs (very much like in the
original headers), in contrast to a traditional databasetable where a complete header would
be stored as one record (one line) with as many columns as keywords. This different architecture
makes it possible to store, address, and update each single name-value pair. This is impossible
in a traditional table like dp_products (where
only standard keys like arcfile and dp_catg are stored) or dp_headers (where
only the header name and its complete, "frozen" content are stored and cannot be
updated).

nobody at ESO can tell what IQ stands for ...) More about Sybase IQ e.g. here ...
Any change of a header keyword which has been done in SAFIQ is reflected in a header downloaded with hotfly, or in a fits file header updated with hotfly. In particular, any change of a raw file header key which you have requested from dbcm using hideFrame will be reflected.
Currently the insertion of new headers in SAFIQ takes place roughly every 24 hours. This means that currently no header younger than about a day can be downloaded or updated.
Extensions. By default the tool downloads and updates the complete header, including all extensions if existing. You may want to focus on the primary header only, using the option -p. After all, all information required for OCA should be in the primary header.

hdr update | no | yes | partial | partial | yes |
broken tpl support | yes | no | no | yes | yes |

full b/w compatibility | no | yes | yes | yes | yes |

1+2: first method 1 (for preview, corrections etc.), then method 2 (upon processing): combines
all advantages
Combining methods 1 and 2 currently offers all advantages. This means that for all dfos applications requiring up-to-date headers (qc1Parser and the future calChecker) we continue to use dataclient -t h. For processing with autoDaily (creating ABs and downloading on demand) the preferred method is ngasClient with hotfly (ngasClient -f).
In the .dbrc file you should have access to the SAFIQ server. Add this line to the .dbrc file:
SAFIQ QC <passwd> HOTFLY_OP
where <passwd> is the password for the QC user, and HOTFLY_OP is an alias for the operational server.
Make sure that your .qcrc also includes the line
export HOTFLY_DBALIAS=HOTFLY_OP
and that you source the modified .qcrc before using hotfly or the updated ngasClient.
Usually you will not run the tool on the command line, but within ngasClient. Command-line usage:
Type hotfly -h for on-line help, hotfly -v for the version number.
To download a header, use
hotfly -H AMBER.2007-11-21T20:34:21.626.hdr ;
to update the header of an existing fits file (you need to be in the directory where the fits file is located):
hotfly -f AMBER.2007-11-21T20:34:21.626.fits ;
to have the primary header updated only, type
hotfly -f AMBER.2007-11-21T20:34:21.626.fits -p .
