• Generate and download PDOR from the Operation Requests List on the STIX server.
  • Go to https://pub023.cs.technik.fhnw.ch/view/operations and click the button marked "Create IORG File".
  • Enter the PDOR ID as the start and end ID. Also enter the STP number and the PDOR number (in most cases this is 1). Then click "Create and Download".
• Send the PDOR file to the MOC

  • Copy the PDOR zip file to ESA's STIX GFTS server by opening a terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the IORG file above. Then type sudo scp <IORG filename> <username>@147.86.8.26:~ where <IORG filename> is the name of the IORG file and <username> is the username of your account on the STIX GFTS server.
  • Login into the ESA's STIX GFTS server by typing ssh <username>@147.86.8.26
