| Abstract: |
Users of the Chandra Data Archive (CDA) have been creating private
mirrors of the archive for many years. The majority of the mirrors are
partial mirrors of the CDA and most are not permanent. Maintaining a
private mirror is not an easy task. The CDA is a dynamic archive which
makes maintaining a private archive challenging and maintenance of many
mirrors can put a strain on our servers, potentially impacting other
users. To aid users in maintaining private mirrors, we have developed
recipes and tools to create and fully maintain customized archives using
a minimum of CDA resources. In conjunction with the new CDA services,
several CIAO tools have been developed to work with private archives for
retrieving data and determining the dataset identifiers associated with
sets of files. In addition to tools for maintaining custom Chandra
archives, the CDA is also publishing dynamic RSS feeds to provide
announcements related to sets of observations which match requirements
specified by the user. We hope users find these new services to be a
beneficial part of the their research toolkit. |
