Lower-case characters of polly-folders in level1a datastructure on rsd2

[ulysses78]

Status quo:

in level1a of polly measurements every folder name has upper- and lower-case characters

Goal:

in level1a every polly folder must have every folder-name with lower-case characters, as it is at the moment in level0 folder

I started a trial by renaming the folder:

/data/level1/polly/PollyXT_TROPOS

to

/data/level1/polly/pollyxt_tropos

@HolgerPollyNet ... could you please check if everything works fine in that specific folder (+subfolders) after renaming (e.g. some cron-jobs, processing-chains, ... )? Please inform me if some problems occur.

I just "discovered", that Bildermacher2 creates a new folder

/data/level1/polly/PollyXT_TROPOS/2022

and puts the picasso output there :-(

That finally means, if we want to change those foldernames to lower case, we have to touch the picasso matlab code! That is somehow not nice! Any other suggestions? FYI: @ZPYin

@ulysses78. I guess not, but do we really need the lower case? If yes, we have to change the code. But please wait because I have still a pull request pending. But today is Chinese new year! So @ZPYin will not be available!

PS: Happy new year!

I have renamed the polly_tropos folder mentioned above to its original upper case format!

The folder name was somehow inherited from the pollynet_processing_chain_config_links.xlsx file (first column instrument). There was no hardcoded polly names inside the matlab code. If you want to standardize the folder name into lower-case or other formats, you can just edit the excel file.

Let me know if this can do the trick.

Thanks for this information! Depending on the campaign/location, there are multiple entries of e.g. "PollyXT_TROPOS" in the column "instrument". Do one have to change all those entries to lower-case or only the last one or the first one or...?

I just renamed the folder "PollyXT_TROPOS" to "pollyxt_tropos" under /data/level1/polly on rsd2. Afterwards I changed every occurrence of "PollyXT_TROPOS" to "pollyxt_tropos" in the file

Pollynet_Processing_Chain/config/pollynet_processing_chain_config_links.xlsx

under Bildemacher2 on rsd2 in the dev-branch. Now let's see if picasso can handle this renaming of folders!

No problems until now. The renaming to lower-case is working! Issue will be closed.
