If you try to run the TransformApplier function of VPHOT with more than 1000 lines (more or less) in all the submitted files, it fails with a page not found.
The issue is that TransformApplier will fail with more than about 1000 lines to be transformed. I submitted this to the VPHOT forum as an error.
Hi, John,
Unfortunately, no one has addressed this problem. For me, it also gives an error at 400 entries.
I’ve been talking to George Silvas about this and a couple of other issues. His response has really been unsatisfactory to say the least. I used to be able to submit 900 observations, now we’re down to what you pointed out. I actually am running with submitting only about 300 at a time.
I had to write a Python program to split my AAVSO format files into groups of 300 records to make it work.
His reponse to the issue is that there isn’t any intent to make it work with larger numbers of records (and for the moment, he has some code that limits it to the number that we’re seeing).
I think that Phoranso may be the solution but the TA function is still underdevelopment.
