Hello chandra-users,

A few users have reported this error when running chandra_repro in CIAO 4.3:

pset: parameter not found : subpixfile
pset: parameter not found : mtlfile
pset: parameter not found : grade_image_file
pset: parameter not found : pix_adj
/tmp/tmpoLHj0m.par: parameter not found : subpixfile
# chandra_repro (25 February 2011): ERROR Unable to store
acis_process_events.subpixfile, should be
     'CALDB' (<type 'str'>)
   but parameter file contains
 
'{d:time,s:ccd_id,s:node_id,i:expno,s:chip,s:tdet,f:det,f:sky,s:phas,l:pha,l:pha_ro,f:energy,l:pi,s:fltgrade,s:grade,x:status}'
(<type 'str'>)

These are new parameters that were added in CIAO 4.3, indicating an
out-of-date parameter file. The solution is to remove the local copy of
the acis_process_events parameter file before running chandra_repro:

% rm ~/cxcds_param4/acis_process_events.par

We recommend deleting all the old parameter files or renaming the
parameter-file directory before running any new version of CIAO to avoid
these conflicts. More information is available in the FAQ:
http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/ciao/faq/cleanup_params.html

If you continue to have problems after removing the parameter file,
contact the CXC Helpdesk: http://cxc.harvard.edu/helpdesk/
