Brief Instructions for adding metars:    08/24/06

Process:  The MetarDecoder decodes the ob for the netcdf file,
thus it appears on D2D.
The CollDB decoder is responsible for the storage of the text
product in the text database.

The metar decoder runs on DX1 in OB6. 
The metar decoder moves to DX3 in OB7.1.

Recommended: copy metarStationInfo.txt and MTR.goodness
to all machines.

To add metars, update these NDM files:

in   /awips/fxa/data/
      metarStationInfo.txt
      MTR.goodness
      textCCChelp.txt

in /data/fxa/nationalData
      afosMasterPIL.txt
      national_category_table.template

Download the updated NDM files from NOAA1 pub/ndm.

      sftp     {NOAA1}
      cd pub/ndm
      get ........

copy updated files to ds, lx, px, dx

      Localize (all machines recommended)

      Run -text -station localizations.

stop and start ingest on dx1 (OB6) or dx3 (OB7.1)
for text database storage (or kill the CollDBDecoder)

      ssh dx1 (OB6) or dx3 (OB7.1)
      su -fxa

      stopIngest.dx1 (OB6)    or dx3 (OB7.1)
      startIngest.dx1 (OB6)   or dx3 (OB7.1)

Restart D2D.
