The settings.yaml file is something that exists under conf directory for missions like NISAR and SWOT. This file contains all PGE product types and its naming convention and metadata extraction information.

For the purposes of Chimera we need to know:

  • The HySDS venue. This is read in from the sds config file. Leave ln 1 below untouched.

  • Whether to simulate the PGE run if the actual PGE is not available.

  • The Composite Release ID of the PGE (mission term for version of PGE)

  • For every PGE, which type of job to submit and which queue to submit the job to.

    It needs to be included in the settings.yaml file as follows:

VENUE: '{{VENUE}}' PGE_SIMULATION_MODE: !!bool true CRID: ID CHIMERA: JOB_QUEUES: PGE_1: queue1 PGE_2: queue2 JOB_TYPES: PGE_1: job-PGE_1 PGE_2: job-PGE_2
