Release Notes

The purpose of this document is to provide a description of a Catalog Tool release including any impact that the new or modified capabilities will have on the Discipline Nodes or the PDS user community. An itemized list of changes for each release can be found in the Release Changes document.

Release 1.2.0

This release of the Catalog Tool is a component of the integrated release 2.1.0 of the PDS 2010 System. This is an operational release of the system components to date. The new or modified capabilities for this release are as follows:

  • Modified to register catalog information with the Registry Service instead of the PDS catalog database.
  • Cleaned up the documentation.

There is a lien for this release related to the support of Volume catalog files that reference multiple Mission catalog files. This will be addressed in the next release.

Release 1.1.0

This is a maintenance release of the Catalog Ingest Tool.

  • Corrected a couple of issues handling author's names during reference validation.
  • Corrected a couple of issues handling REFERENCE_KEY_ID values.
  • Corrected an issue comparing two Set values.
  • Corrected an issue ingesting the VOLUME catalog file when NODE_ID, ON_LINE_NAME, ON_LINE_IDENTIFICATION, and PROTOCOL_TYPE keywords are absent.
  • Integrated the tool with version 3.1.0 of the Product Tools Library.

Release 1.0.0

This is the official release of the Catalog Ingest Tool to the PDS community. The major changes for this release include:

  • Interface and General Functionality

    Added the capability to recursively traverse a target directory as well as the ability to turn this capability off. Modified the compare report content by ordering files alphabetically, removing severity levels and not following pointers in compare mode.

  • Referential Integrity Checking

    Implemented a couple of additions/fixes related to checking REFERENCE_KEY_ID. Added support for multiple values.

  • Ingestion

    Implemented several fixes associated with ingestion of the catalog file content into the PDS catalog database. Also added the capability to ingest new standard values as part of the ingestion step.

The liens for this release are as follows:

  • Report lines greater than 80 characters

    This capability will be incorporated when CITool is integrated with the new Product Tools library.

  • Support for like-named Elements and Objects

    The PDS Data Dictionary currently has elements and objects with identical names. This capability will be incorporated when CITool is integrated with the new Product Tools library.

  • Support for multi-valued pointers

    This capability will be incorporated when CITool is integrated with the new Product Tools library.

  • Detect changes in like-named Objects

    The tool does not correctly detect and report a change within an object that appears multiple times (same name) within the same catalog file.

Release 0.4.0

This release of the Catalog Ingest Tool, is intended for beta testing by the PDS Technical Staff. The minor changes in this release include some updates to the command-line options and message severities.

Release 0.3.0

This release of the Catalog Ingest Tool, is intended for beta testing at the Engineering Node. The major changes in this release include the capabilities to find new standard values and perform a complete referential integrity check within a set of catalog files. Other changes include various, minor fixes to reference validation and the compare mode functionality based on the previous beta testing period.

Release 0.2.0

This release of the Catalog Ingest Tool, is intended for beta testing at the Engineering Node. This release includes the capabilities to validate catalog files, perform referential integrity checking for references and ingest the catalog files into the PDS central catalog database.

Release 0.1.0

This is the first release of the Catalog Ingest Tool, intended for beta testing at the Engineering Node. This release includes the capability to compare a catalog file with another catalog file or a directory of catalog files with another directory.
