2. User folders on Barre - How and what to find

You might have lost the OTL results sent by E-mail; or for any other reason, they could not be delivered.

You might like to use the kml-files to put your sites on a map using a map application that can work with that file format. If you have g**earth, try download the kml files, and in your local file explorer double-click the file's icon. If the file extension is recognized (via MIME configuration), within the blink of a chickens eye. the app might open a view apt to scrutinize

Further down the processing chain, once a job is in the queue to (or in) the calculation process, you will obtain a page with links to your file folder.
Here we show you an example.

"coming from 1"  —> You can also enter from anywhere.                          
The outright URL is: https://barre.oso.chalmers.se/loading/php/find-results.php

3. Sending requests directly by E-mail, bypassing the portal
You can write a script that sends your requests to Barre exactly in the same format as you could on the old machine Holt. This may be more convenient for software with automatised queries for ocean loading parameters, which would send these requests when demand arises.

It's not for beginners!
  1. Eventual errors are reported back by E-mail. The ReplyTo parameter can be used to extend it to a supervisor, a human being in the first place.
  2. The results arrive as atttachments encoded in base64.
  3. The parser of the incoming mails is similarly limited as in Holt. Calculation might choke on errors that the parser did't recognize.
Address: :
The mail must be in plain ASCII in all its parts.
Compulsory Subject line:  
Subject: Ocean Loading Tides

It must assign all of the following, yellow underlined keywords. The following example shows a short-line variant of
station lines. If your station names are longer than 6 characters or you add monument id's, the standard form must be used.
The short-line form allows a maximum line length of 57.

The rules for the standard format are detailed on the Request Form and here.
We recommend to take a transcript of a previous, successful request as a stencil. After a pilot using the portal you find one in your user folder, file name containing the string  _request
Put it into the mail body. Make sure the header includes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
and keep this format throughout the creation of the mail file.
