Managing productions

On this page you can manage and monitor productions: your own (and of all other users, if you activate the    checkbox).

When you are coming here shortly after you ordered a production, you will see something similar to the following image: the processing status is partly done (here: 44.8%) and the processing time that has been spent so far.

When the processing is done, you will see something similar to the following image: the processing status is "COMPLETED", the overall processing time is being displayed, and, quite important, the button. When you click on it, you will be directed to another window, the "staging area". This is in effect a view on a folder containing the processing output of the specific production.

Staging area

The staging area shows the content of the output folder of a production. It contains the following:

• a .zip file in which all output products are contained.
  Note that if the overall size would exceed 2GBs, no zip file will be created
• all output products listed separately

  Pictured below is the staging area view of our particular production:

The view of the staging area above presents two ways to download the processing results:

• The direct way: click on a product link to download the product with your browser. This is convenient to download small amounts of data.
• For bulk download, you might consider ftp download from the CoastColour FTP server ftp.coastcolour.org.
  In order to connect, all necessary information is displayed:
  • Use your portal credentials to log onto the FTP server
  • Change directory to 20140430103251_L2Plus_358f7592e1388d; this is the output directory for our specific production example.

Pictured below is how it looks like in the quite popular FTP-client FileZilla:
