Configuring Access to the Interim Database (IDB)

To process and calibrate EOVSA raw "Interim" Database (IDB) data, access to the SQL database containing the calibration data is required. Perform the following steps to configure access:

1. Obtain Database Credentials: Contact [e-mail] to request the <username>, <account_name>, and <password> for database access.

2. Create a .netrc File:

   Create a .netrc file in your home directory ($HOME) with the following contents, replacing <username>, <account_name>, and <password> with the actual database credentials:

   machine eovsa-db0.cgb0fabhwkos.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com
           login <username>
           account <account_name>
           password <password>
   

3. Secure the .netrc File:

   To ensure that the file is only accessible by you, set its permissions to only allow owner read/write:

   chmod 0600 ~/.netrc
