<description>
Convert an ALMA Science Data Model observation into a CASA visibility
file (MS). Uses the stand-alone executables asdm2MS and bdflags2MS instead of the sdm tool. Can only be used from a casalith session.

<shortdescription>Axis to do parallelization across (scan, spw, baseline, auto)</shortdescription>
<description>Axis to do parallelization across
Default: 'auto'
Options: 'scan', 'spw', 'baseline', 'auto'
* auto: will partition per scan/spw to obtain
optimal load balancing with the following
criteria:
1 - Maximize the scan/spw/field distribution
across sub-MSs
2 - Generate sub-MSs with similar size
* 'scan' or 'spw': will partition the MS into
scan or spw. The individual sub-MSs may not be
balanced with respect to the number of rows.
* 'baseline': mostly useful for Single-Dish
data. This axis will partition the MS based on
the available baselines. If the user wants only
auto-correlations, use the
ocorr_mode='ao'. Note that if numsubms='auto',
partition will try to create as many subMSs as
the number of available servers in the
cluster. If the user wants to have one subMS
for each baseline, set the numsubms parameter
to a number higher than the number of baselines
to achieve this.

The default 'auto' is to partition using the
number of available servers given when launching
CASA. If the task is unable to determine the
