Workflow generators should produce an XML file with a process and process_params table #370

Closed duncan-brown closed 9 years ago

duncan-brown commented 9 years ago

The workflow generators store their state in the parsed ini files, but for bookkeeping purposes, it will be useful to know exactly how they were invoked. They should create a LIGO_LW XML file with a process and process_params table containing the appropriate metadata. This should also be displayed in the configuration section of the summary pages.

We should definitely do this for the coinc_search and psd_estimation workflows for 1.2.0, but it should be added to the GRB workflow eventually as well.

There is a module that already does this:

Not sure this was ever put into the HDF5 workflow.

@spxiwh thanks, I'll use this when I get to work on Sunday, unless @ahnitz or you get to it first.

@spxiwh I didn't get to this today. Any chance you can take a look Monday morning?
