New Version (v9.0) of the ISO Data Archive installed on 27/07/2005

On the 27th of July of 2005, a new version (v9.0) of the ISO Data Archive (IDA) software was installed.

The major improvements of this new version are :

• IDAv9.0 incorporates the option to retrieve the most reliable dataset associated to a given observation. The "Default Dataset" can be: The best Highly Processed Data Products (HPDP) associated to the observation or the Off-Line Processing Pipeline v10.1 products.
• The new "Retrieve Default Dataset" option is available for direct download or by the shopping basket option.
• Survey products, icon and postcards generated by the Off-Line Processing Pipeline v10.1 are replaced by the ones created from the HPDP when available.
• The HPDPs selected as the recommended/default dataset are highlighted in the HPDPs main panel and appears as the first option in the list of HPDPs available for a given observation.
• Data Quality Reports have been better sorted to include the detailed information of the best HPDP (default dataset) when available.
• Quality Flags have been splitted into two different groups: list of flags which affect a given observation and a list of quality flags per instrument related to pipeline processing and calibration scheme restrictions. Queries based on the first group of flags are possible.
• New facility ds9 is available from the postcards.
• Various bug fixes:
• Improved searching and display of the HPDP catalogues
• Further minor fixes have been implemented.
