Instructions for updating afos_lookup_table.dat   05/19/08

1. Log into the dx3 server as fxa user.

    ssh fxa@dx3

2. Save a copy of the site's current afos_lookup_table.dat

    cd /awips/fxa/data
    cp -p afos_lookup_table.dat afos_lookup_table.dat{date}

3. Download the current afos_lookup_table.dat from the NOAA1 server

    sftp ftpawips  (to noaa1)

   You may be prompted to continue the connection.  If so, type yes and
   press Enter.  Type the password at the prompt and press Enter again.
   The ITO or ESA should have the password.

    sftp> cd pub/ndm
    sftp> get afos_lookup_table.dat
    sftp> bye

4. Copy afos_lookup_table.dat to dx4 (for failover) and to
   the remaining servers and workstations to avoid confusion,
   though it's only needed on dx1.

    chmod 775 afos_lookup_table.dat

    scp afos_lookup_table.dat dx2:/awips/fxa/data

5. To activate the changes, either stop and start ingest on dx3
   or simply kill the StdDBDecoder process on dx3.
   The StandardDBDecoder will automatically restart.

    stopIngest.dx3
    startIngest.dx3

    or

    /awips/fxa/bin/killProc StdDBDecoder

6. Check for new data.
