CasJobs
You can download the latest SDSS-II version or the latest SDSS-III version of the CasJobs Batch Query Workbench application here.
CasJobs is an online workbench for large scientific catalogs, designed to emulate
and enhance local free-form query access in a web environment.
Some features of this application include...
- Both synchronous and asynchronous query execution, in the form of 'quick' and 'long'
jobs.
- A query 'History' that records queries and their status.
- A server-side, personalized user database, called 'MyDB', enabling persistant table/function/procedure
creation.
- Data sharing between users, via the 'Groups' mechanism.
- Data download, via MyDB table extraction, in various formats.
- Multiple interface options, including a browser client as well as a java-based command line tool.

SDSS-III CasJobs |

The SDSS-II version requires Windows .NET Framework v2.0 or later, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. However, do NOT
apply .NET patch KB928365 to your Web server(s). This patch breaks the XML serializer and CasJobs will not work with it..

The SDSS-III version requires Windows .NET Framework v2.0 or later, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 for all the features to work properly, although it will work with SQL Server 2005 too. As for the SDSS-II version, do NOT

New CasJobs Installation
If this is the first time you are installing CasJobs, please load and execute the sql\batchadmin.sql script in a
SQL Server query window on the server that will host your BatchAdmin database. You will need to be an admin user on
that server. The script creates various user logins with random passwords and disables the logins after creation
(for security). You need to change the passwords and enable the logins after the script is done.
Upgrading from an older CasJobs version
If you are upgrading an existing CasJobs site, it is best to
replace the CasJobs directory with the downloaded one and follow the instructions in the installation guide. Typically, you should rename the previous CasJobs directory so you can reuse the config files from it.
Once you have downloaded and uncompressed the latest version, you should do to the deploy subdirectory and run the setup script for your installation/product (if applicable), e.g. setup_sdss3.bat.
