Overview
The configureTextProducts program is a utility
that
is automatically run during installation and each time EDEX is started.
Normally it is not
needed to be run manually. The program automatically configures
the GFESuite set
of formatters based on the afos2awips.txt PIL/WMOID table. There are
other options available with configureTextProducts as well. You can run
it to delete the templated formatters, list the pil/wmoid information
for
your site, or list the pil/wmoid information for all sites.
The information output is sent to stdout and may be rerouted to a file
if desired. The create and delete modes also modify files on disk.
The configureTextProducts program can be used to specify an alternate
afos2awips.txt file rather than the official file. This
capability is normally only used for testing.
Running the configureTextProducts Program
This program is run from the GFESuite bin
directory. The command line syntax is:
configureTextProducts -m MODE [--template=alterateA2AFile]
[--help] [--host]
A sample command line is:
configureTextProducts -m CREATE
