Organization

Overview

The localVTECPartners.py file is the site-level override for the VTEC active table coordination. This file overrides one or multiple entries in the VTECPartners.py file.

Format

The localVTECPartners file starts with the two import statements:

import VTECPartners
from VTECPartners import *

Modifications to individual entries are made by repeating the variable name and providing a new definition. For example, to change the VTEC_MERGE_SITES, the user would add a line similar to the following:

VTEC_MERGE_SITES = ['BOU', 'PUB', 'GJT']

Modification Technique

The modification technique requires the user to create a localVTECPartners.py file in the CAVE Localization perspective by expanding GFE Server->VTEC Partners, right clicking on VTECPartners.py and selecting Override... just those elements required. The localVTECPartners.py file must have the two import statements in the file. For example, to override the coordination interval, called VTEC_REMOTE_TABLE_FETCH_TIME, to one hour, the localVTECPartners.py file would contain:

import VTECPartners
from VTECPartners import *
VTEC_REMOTE_TABLE_FETCH_TIME = 3600 #in seconds
