[Issues] TargetProcessor: graphical select problem

[Hans Vaith]

Dear Willem-Jan,

thanks for your reply. Yes, in order to get the error it is 'necessary' to 
process 02-Oct first. I tried all possible processing orders and some work, 
others don't. I have repeated the processing for all orders several times. 
The results are consistent so far:

10-Oct ... 02-Oct ... 09-Oct   works
10-Oct ... 09-Oct ... 02-Oct   works
02-Oct ... 09-Oct              fails (when trying to process 09-Oct)
02-Oct ... 10-Oct              fails (when trying to process 10-Oct)
09-Oct ... 02-Oct ... 10-Oct   fails (when trying to process 10-Oct)
09-Oct ... 10-Oct              fails (when trying to process 10-Oct)

By 'fails' I mean that I get the error message about  
referencing 'creation_date' before assignment in the ProcessGraphDetail 
window.

Note that each time I waited until the frames from one day were processed, 
before proceeding with the next day. Between trying different orders I 
deleted the processed PhotSrcCatalog and PhotSrcCatalogParameters objects 
from my mydb, in order to start from the same starting point.

When I instead try to start the processing of a day while the processing of 
the previous day is not yet finished the error does not occur.

At the moment I don't have access to the machine that runs the target 
processor service, so I cannot retrieve the logs that it writes, but if you 
can tell me what the log file names are (are they the same as the awe log 
files or does the target processor use separate log files?), then I could ask 
Jan to send these logs to me and I could forward them to you.

Thanks,
Hans
