BDS Release Notes
Release 1.2.4 - 2010-06-03
- 828:
Database: Move to transaction based database
The MySql database has been changed to be a Transaction based database
using the InnoDB engine. The Bds API has been updated to support
Transactions and some of the BdsAdminGui's operations have been
modified to use this feature. We have also updated the database to use
the utf8 character set by default.
- 85:
Data per sample access and data block interpolation
- The system now has an option for "Clipping" the output data
so that the start and end times of all of the channels export is the
same. The data blocks of channels that are beyond this period are
truncated to the appropriate sample. The truncation is performed based
on the blocks time stamp and the sample rate in use.
- 496:
WRA_AGSO won There was a bug in the WRA-AGSO file convertor where
the first block was repeated and the last block lost on each channel.
- Modified bdsImportTapeDigitiserData to treat bdsTapeDigitiserFile
processing warnings as warnings not errors.
- 86:
Notes: Add information on TimePeriod, Network, Station, Channel
andSource
- 685:
Add GCF like variable block size data to BdsTest system
- 850:
BdsAdminGui title to reflect connection to server
- 854:
Add BDS Clean API call to clean logs and changes database entries
- 59:
Error and Warning event system
- 665:
Missing block warnings
- Modified
dataType field to support seismic,seismicUnknown,data,unkown and empty.
The bdsImportBlacknestDatabase program now sets these based on the
channelType.
- The bdsImportBlacknestDatabase program did not import calibration
info for channels without sensors. This has now been done.
- 837:
TapeDigitiser import: Add flag to ignore sessions
- 701:
Add support for source names in bdsDataAccess -channel options
bdsImportData and bdsImportTapeDigitiserData now allow the source to be
specified in the -channels flag.
- 700:
Export sample rate information
- 820:
"hang" for horizontal seismos of unknown orientation
- 777:
BdsAdminGui: Improve Channel edit dialog , 522:
Changing channel name loses calibrations/responses.
Many improvements to the Channel editing system. The core difference is
changing a Network/Station/Channel name changes all of the metadata and
sesimic data in the system to match. Note that the channel information
in the sesimic data files is not affected although this is not used
anywhere. As we are now using a transactional database all of the
changes to the channel,calibrations,instruments,responses is only
commited when the "Save" button is pressed.
- 838:
BdsAdminGui: Improve Instrument Sensor and Digitiser entry.
Improved this in line with sugestions from Sheila.
- 77: Add support for easy import of Meta Data working at Array, Station and Channel levels
- 768: Instrument "split at time" when split time is before opening date/time of instrument metadata
- 694: Change file URL locations to just specify relative path within the data store
- Added support for 'M' type data records in SEED files.
- There have been a few parameters added to the /etc/bdsServer.conf
file. It will be worth taking the new version and editing this with the
desired parameters.
- Note that the BDS API has been updated in this
release, so any client applications will need re-compiling.
With this release there are updates to the database Schema to version 7. There
is an additional command "bdsDatabaseUpdate" that should be run after
package update. This will Update the database schema and modify
appropriate entries. So the update process is:
- Shutdown bdsServer: "service bdsServer stop"
- Update the BDS software: "yum update"
- Update the database schema: "bdsDatabaseUpdate -u bdsMain -p
bdsMain"
- Restart the BDS system. "bdsRestart"
The
new release uses a Transactional database. By default the MySQL system
stores all InnoDB database tables in a single file. If desired, the
system can store each table in a separate file. To do this edit the
/etc/my.conf file and add the option "innodb_file_per_table" in the
"[mysqld]" section and restart the mysql daemon with the "service
mysqld restart" command. If this is done before bdsDatabaseUpdate is
run the new transactional database tables will be stored in separate
files. See info in: https://portal.beam.ltd.uk/support/blacknest/info?cmd=infoView&id=828 for more details.
Release 1.2.3 - 2010-05-11
- The bdsImportScream program now uses the import validation
options: "OptionReorder" and "OptionDeleteDuplicates". So any SCREAM
backfilling errors should be handled as best as is possible given the
faulty SCREAM system.
- 700:
Export sample rate information.
The sample rates reported in IMS,BKNAS and SEED files are now the
calculated sample rates rather than the MetaData specified sample
rates. This handles variable sample rate data better, such as
TapeDigitiser data.
- 703:
Save dialog, always defaults to save in ~ FIle dialog now keeps
last uesed directory.
- 708:
"dip" in SEED blockette 52 should be -90 usually for vertical
seismometers. Swaped sign of dip calculation.
- 704:
sensitivity "inf" in SEED files when calib = 0. SEED gain is set to
0.0 if the calibrationFactor is 0.0.
- 724:
Group checkboxes dissappear on View/Append/Modify Fixed bug with
Users group boxes dissappearing.
- 725:
Admin GUI Segfault in Data Files tab
- 726:
Channels selection View/Modify do not work with mutiple selections
- 728:
creating array in AdminGui - added array stations without setting
"type" to "array"
- Fixed a bug in bdsServer in array to station expander. This could
cause no stations to be selected if the first station in the database
was an array.
- 716:
-duration flag doesn't work on bdsDataAccess
- 739:
Station description rendered badly Modified all tables to display
first line of multiline descriptions.
- 747:

- 781:
Reconecting from Admin GUI after server restart causes bds process to
fail
- 774:
Updating list when new channel is added
- 705:
"#" in station name where otherwise station name = array name
- 671:
Failure to export overlapping data from EKA3566
- bdsImportTapeDigitiserData:
There have been major changes to the
bdsTapeDigitiserFile program used by bdsImportTapeDigitiserData to
re-process the VELA timecode track. This now uses a Phase Locked Loop
algorithm to more accurately set the data block start and end times.
The system now calculates a VelaQuality based on the number of VELA
codes decoded versis the number expected. This is reported as an Import
Warning.
- 770:
Filename of imported data states nearly 8 months Added a check to
make sure the date range is less than 10 days in one import file.
- 804:
Output SEED data have duplicate blocks at end
- 805:
BDS SEED files in "Jrdseed" Now outputs channels in Station order
with a single blockette 50 per station.
- Source names are now validated and BdsAdminGui uses comboboxes
for the available source names.
- 810:
bdsImportData with -dryRun does not issue "data already present" error
Added checkif if data is present when -dryRun is used.
- 808:
Dummy channels
Added support for a channel "noMetaData" boolean. When this set on a
channel it states that there is no MetaData present (Calibrations,
Responses, Instruments). When set data can be imported, with a warning,
however date export of the appropriate channels is not possible as an
error of missing MetaData is given.
- 79:
Add meta data validation checks.
- 733:
Add -startTime and -endTime options to bdsImportData
It is now possible to use -startTime and -endTime options with the
bdsDataImport program to imports time spans of data from files.

- 835:
Channel DataType field This has been added.
- Note that the BDS API has been updated in this release, so any
client applications will need re-compiling.
With this release there are updates to the database Schema to version
6. There
is an additional command "bdsDatabaseUpdate" that should be run after
package update. This will Update the database schema and modify
appropriate entries. So the update process is:
- Shutdown bdsServer: "service bdsServer stop"
- Update the BDS software: "yum update"
- Update the database schema: "bdsDatabaseUpdate -u bdsMain -p
bdsMain"
- Restart the BDS system. "bdsRestart"
Release 1.2.2 - 2010-03-16
- Minor change to BdsImportBlacknestDatabase to modify MetaData
source allocation to use new EkaDig2 scheme. Set database initial
source data to use "EkaDig2" rather than "Scream".
- Now handles MetaData for EKA:SHZ around GCF24EKA0811 better by
merging MetaData either side for the source Main.
- Extends the EKA:SHZ:Main and EKA_BHZ_10 data to end of time.
- Extends the EKA:SHZ:EkaDig2 to cover all time
- Improved Sensor selection algorithm to share sensors for channels
better.

Release 1.2.0 - 2010-03-01
This is a major update to the system, fixing and changing some of the
core internal structure.
- Changes to BDS data file format. This adds channel and segment
info to the data blocks to improve the performance of dealing with
segments of data when there are missing blocks or in other
multi-segmented data applications. Also improved block searching
performance and other minor improvements.
- Major changes to the DataSet class. This is responsibe for
gathering the data from multiple channels of multiple segments in

file.
- 385:
TapeDigitiser import fails when there is an "empty" data file
- 371:
TapeDigitiser import failing for lack of metadata
- 336:

calibrationFactors that will convert the data samples to the base SI
units in question. When exporting in a particular data format
unit/scaling conversion is done as appropriate.
- 507:
BKNAS format when many poles/zeros
- Fixed crash in BdsServer when trying to export SEED-MINI data.
- Fixed problem with SEED sensitivity value.

- 497:
"Update" button on channels window didn't work
- 430:
DataView channel shift, 431:
DataView seems not to work when displaying multiple channels
A simplified DataView tab has been implemented. This allows the viewing
of multiple data channels with multiple data segments, possibly
overlapping as well as channels at differeing sample rates. It has a
simple autoscaling function.
- 647:
default file name formation fails when station name includes #
- Numerous higher level MetaData editing functions added to
"Options" menus.
- BdsImportBlacknestDatabase: Added support for importing Pseudo
stations.
- Removed SensorLocations table and added depth and sensor angles
to Calibrations.
- Note that the BDS API has been updated in this release, so any
client applications will need re-compiling.
- Note that the BDS data file format has changed and, for
simplicity at this stage of development, no compatibility with the
previous file format has been provided. So all data files will need to
be re-imported.
With this release there are updates to the database Schema to version
5. There
is an additional command "bdsDatabaseUpdate" that should be run after
package update. This will Update the database schema and modify
appropriate entries. So the update process is:
Shutdown bdsServer: "service bdsServer stop"
Update the BDS software: "yum update"
Update the database schema: "bdsDatabaseUpdate -u bdsMain -p bdsMain"
Restart the BDS system. "bdsRestart"
Release 1.1.9 - 2010-01-26
- Changed default import data source to "Main" from "Master".
- System now sets importUserId and importTime fields in DataFiles
information.
- Preliminary SEED data file import.
- BdsImportData: added "-sequential" flag. When used it will import
the given set of files sequentially into a single import file. This is
especially usefull for SEED-TAR format files. The files have to contain
the same channels in the same order and be completely sequential in
time.
- 570:
SEED Export converter. The system can now export data in SEED 2.4
and SEED-MINI 2.4 formats.
- DataSelections invovling an array in combination with a set of
individual stations did not work correctly. This has been fixed.

non-synchronously sampled data at different sample rates did not work
corectly. This has been fixed.
- Added -formatList option to bdsImportData.
- 428:
bdsAdminGui long processes need hourglass cursor
- 104:
Add ability to manipulate Sensor Data information and delete sensor
data files
- 405:
New Data files window - various

on the store in question. These will need to be actually deleted at a
later date by an operator.
- 350:
Improve data access performance by elimimanting second getInfo
- 27:
default filename in GUI
- 417:
Time date widget defaults to 2002
- 424:
DataSelect tab usability issues
- Changed
DataSelection system in bdsAdminGui. Now provides wildcard filter on
each item and multi-selection restricted to database entries. Note that
selection restriction for data ignores the time fields. This is for
performance reasons. It would be possible to implement a cache of
distinct, time based, channel information to allow selection
restrictions based on actual data time periods if required.
- Changes to use "*" wild carding system in bdsDataAccess and
bdsAdminGui.
- System now checks the "state" parameter on data files before
serning the data.
- Added ability to list default file format extensions.
- Added BdsDataFormats manual and updated other manuals and
documents.
- A few minor bugs have been fixed.
- Note that the BDS API has been updated in this release, so any
client applications will need re-compiling.
With this release there are updates to the database Schema. There
is an additional command "bdsDatabaseUpdate" that should be run after
package update. This will Update the database schema and modify
appropriate entries. So the update process is:
Shutdown bdsServer: "service bdsServer stop"
Update the BDS software: "yum update"
Update the database schema: "bdsDatabaseUpdate -u bdsMain -p bdsMain"
Restart the BDS system. "bdsRestart"
Release 1.1.8 - 2009-12-14
This is an interim bug release version. The BDS API has changed so that
any client machines will need to be updated as well.
This release is now built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 and has a new
yum repository. The repository change will be automatic, but two yum
updates are required, one to update the repository info and one to
actually perform the update.

imports so values in the BDS SQL database for calibrationFactor could
be wrong.
- 355:
Add a test Array/Stations/Channels for performing automatic regression
tests The first pass system has been created. This just creates
BDRS files at the moment but export tests are generic.
- Added the "NETWORK" keyword to the BdsAutodrm. This allows the
network to be set for test puposes.
- 492:
StationLocation selection in Stations needs Network This has been
added.
- 453:
BDS AutoDRM acts as a relay
The system now ignores emails from users not registered in the BDS
users database. It checks the "ReturnPath" and "From" field headers for
the users email address. Errors are looged into the syslog of the
bdsAutodrm daemon's host.
- 514:
Interrupted data import results in bad data status. This has been
fixed.
- 525:

- 545:
bdsImportTapeDigitiserData. Added ability to read jobInfo.tdim if
it exists instead of jobInfo.tdi.
- Added import warnings when blocks are re-ordered. The warning
includes a description of the block re-ordering performed in the form
of an ASCII string. The format of this string is a list of block ranges
and the re-ordered position. For example "0-10:30" means blocks 0

MaxNumSamples in bdsServer.conf. Changed to 1024 by default.
- Fixed a bug in calculating the number of datasamples/sample rate
in a set of data.
- 342:
"sample rate incorrect" for WRA40 and WRA_AGSO data There was a bug
in the WRA-AGSO sample rate calculation routine when crossing a year
boundary, This has been fixed.
- 340:

- There was a bug that caused data import to fail with the error
"Unknown output format:" this has been fixed.
Release 1.1.0 - 2009-08-06
- 57: Added snapshotPause call. The API function takes a boolean
argument, on or off to set the BdsServer into pause mode for backup
puposes. See the BdsServer manual for more information.
- 57: Added the modeSet API call. This allows the BdsServer to be
put
into a read-only slave mode. See the BdsServer manual for more
information.
- 57: Added the security group "control". The snapshotPause and
modeSet
calls require the user to belong to this group.
- 57: Adde the user "bdsBackup" for backup purposes. This user
belongs
to the control group but has no other abilities.
- 57: Added "state" field to DataFiles table to indicate the data
files
state. This can be set to "importing" or "ok" and can be used for data
synchronisation puposes.
- 270: Added the "Config" tabale to the database to contain
configuration parameters. One configuration parameters, "schemaVersion"
has been added to this to track the BDS MySQL data base schema version.
This allows for automated database schema updates on software updates.
Add the command line program bdsDatabaseUpdate command to update the
ruuning database's schema to the current version.
- 253: Change the BdsServer's database user to "bdsMain" and set
the
older "bds" user for read-only access. This allows external programs to
read the BDS's database safely. The database grant's need to be updated
with the following commands for this to work and the
/etc/bdsServer.conf file needs modification.
grant all on BDS.* to bdsMain@"%" identified by "bdsMain";
grant all on BDS.* to bdsMain@"localhost" identified by "bdsMain";
grant select on BDS.* to bds@"%" identified by "bds";
grant select on BDS.* to bds@"localhost" identified by "bds";
- 268: Added support for re-ordering data blocks and deleting
duplicate data blocks on import. The "-reorder" and "-deleteDuplicate"
flags have been aded to bdsDataImport for this. Currently only the GCF
format convertor supports these options, but they can be added to each
or all data convertors relatively easily if required.
- Fixed:
278: cannot add new SensorLocation without saving-and-reentering
- Fixed:
264: AdminGui update bug in DataSelect window
- Fixed:
283: extracting "filename time" from EKA SCREAM data files

- Fixed:
306: AdminGui editing channel responses
- Fixed:
265: No. of samples in 2nd segment of 2-segment IMS exported file
- Fixed:
286: sampling rate for EKA GCF data
- Fixed:
210: TapeDigitiser import two-tape sets
- 311:
On importing TapeDigitiser files keep original file name The
BdsImportTapeDigitiserData program now lists the actual file import in
the Description field.
- 325:
Fixed: Database description entries should allow the "' " character
- 336:
TapeDigitiser data with huge numbers of errors
We have improved the perormance of the BDictString class to help this.
Howvere the number of errors produced by the tapeDigitisation process
needs to be looked at.
- Added support for Station Aliases. These can be used to rename
the pusedo stations used for extra data channels that are not
associated with any physical stration, to the Array name as well as for
other puposes. The Aliases are only normally used in data output
formats.
- Added support for MetaData sources that match the data sources.
This allows different MetaData parameters to be attached to different
data sources.
- Added support for Source Priority to decide which data Source to
select if a data source of "Default" is used.
- General bug fixing.
- Modified bdsImportBlacknestDatabase to suit more recent Blacknest
Autodrm database schema.
With this release there are updates to the database Schema. There
is an additional command "bdsDatabaseUpdate" that should be run after
package update. This will Update the database schema and modify
appropriate entries. So the update process is:
- Shutdown bdsServer: "service bdsServer stop"
- Update the BDS software: "yum update"

by byte basis.

test without actually importing the data.

import warnings. The warnings are also added to the BDS MetaData for

Release 1.0.5 - 2009-04-02
Minor bug fixes:
- 212:
BDS Instrument name Metadata issue. This was a bug in the BDS server
when there were multiple instruments used on a
channel at different time periods. The system was choosing the first
entry rather than the one for the time period in question.

Adding new stations problem
- Added the utility program bdsDataFileCreate. This program
can create test sensor data files in any of the formats supported by
the BDS system with write data convertors.

in the BDS format.
- Made boapns daemon run as the daemon user by default.
Release 1.0.4 - 2009-03-27
Minor bug fixes:
- Bug in BdsImportData when ignoring missing data blocks. This
would cause a segment fault.
- 195: Fix to TapeDigitiser import. VELA timecode track, end of
year problem. This problem was
caused by problems in the VELA timecode track near the year end on tape
EKA 3616.There was some curruption in the VELA timecode track and then
a
missing bit of VELA time code followed by and incorrect year wrap. The
software could not cope with this unusual circumstance. We have added
some code to handle this case.
- Added Channel Aux field to BKNAS channel output lines based on
Sheilas BKNAS modification.
- Modified BdsAutodrm so that all channel names have the ".*"
postfix added so that channel types given will match all channel names
of that type irrelevent of the AuxId.

Problem with bdsImportTapeDigitiserData validating meta data. This has
been fixed.
