This document describes the configuration and program flow of VTEC
|
|
through the GFE.<br>

<br>
|

<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;">
|
|
<h2><a name="ProgramFlow"></a>VTEC Program Flow<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
The following diagram shows the VTEC program flow through the
|
|
GFE. It consists of three major parts: VTEC Decoding, VTEC
|
|
Merging, and Product Formatting.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>VTEC Decoding</h3>
|
|
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br>
|
|
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Text bulletins containing VTEC codes
|
|
are received over the AWIPS SBN. These are routed to the
|
|
NotifyTextProd AWIPS D2D persistent process. The NotifyTextProd
|
|
compares the incoming product against the routing table contained in
|
|
the pattern file. The pattern file is used to determine the
|
|
process to be run for that file. The pattern file used in
|
|
the GFESuite/VTEC situation instructs the NotifyTextProd to start the
|
|
VTECDecoder anytime a W* (all warnings) or FZ* (all routine marine
|
|
products) arrives.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The VTECDecoder reads the text product, decodes the UGC strings and the
|
|
VTEC strings. It then merges its findings with the "Active"
|
|
table. The "Active" table represents the currently active (or
|
|
recently active) watches, warnings, and advisories. It tracks
|
|
Event Tracking Numbers (etns) by geographical id (UGC code) and knows
|
|
the current state of each VTEC through action codes (e.g., NEW, CAN,
|
|
UPG, EXT) for each product.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
There is a special WOU product that is received as guidance from the
|
|
Storm Prediction Center (SPC). These products, when
|
|
decoded, will send an alert message to the GFE (using sendGfeMessage)
|
|
informing the forecaster to run the PlotSPCWatches tool. This
|
|
allows the latest SPC guidance to be placed into the Hazards grids,
|
|
where it can further edited by the forecaster. Likewise, the Tropical
|
|
Prediction Center (TPC) sends out TCV tropical event bulletins, which
|
|
when decoded, sends an alert message to the GFE informing the
|
|
forecaster to run the PlotTPCEvents tool. This allows the latest
|
|
TPC guidance to be placed into the Hazards grid.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The "Active" table is designed to be "locked" when writing.
|
|
Only the VTECDecoder and MergeVTEC processes lock the table during
|
|
their update cycle. Any client can read the table if the
|
|
table is not locked for writing.<br>
|
|

<br>
|
|
<h3>VTEC Merging - <b>NOT COMPLETE</b></h3>
|
|
<br>
|
|
It is important that the "Active" table be always
|
|
up-to-date. In the outside chance that a warning product is
|
|
missed on the SBN, EDEX asks surrounding sites for their
|
|
"Active" table on a routine basis. This is sent out as a
|
|
request via the WAN. The adjacent site, upon receiving the
|
|
request, packages the Active table for transmission back to the
|
|
requesting site. The requesting site receives the table and
|
|
runs the MergeVTEC routine. The MergeVTEC routine will add/update
|
|
any records that are newer in the received active table than the
|
|
existing active table. If a warning was issued and the action
|
|
code or etn was updated but the local site missed the text bulletin
|
|
(perhaps during a reboot), the MergeVTEC will update the warning record
|
|
in the local table. The configuration file VTECPartners is
|
|
critical in this process since it defines the adjacent sites from which
|
|
to get the active table, as well as the site filtering for the
|
|
VTECDecoder.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<!--<img alt="VTEC Merge" src="images/VTECMerge.png">--><br>
|
|
<h3>Product Formatting</h3>
|
|
When a GFE Text Product is run, it first analyzes the GFE Hazards
|
|
weather element. The Hazards grid contains areas of VTEC
|
|
phenomena and significance, such as WS.W for Winter Storm
|
|
Warning. The Hazards grid contains the "Proposed" set of
|
|
hazards. This is summed into a "Proposed" table. The
|
|
"Active" table is retrieved through EDEX and the VTEC
|
|
Comparison module analyzes the proposed and active table and derives
|
|
the "Analyzed table". The "Analyzed" table contains all of
|
|
the proper VTEC action strings and event tracking numbers based on the
|
|
VTEC Comparison logic. For example, if there is a hazard in the
|
|
active table but not in the proposed table, generally a "CAN" for
|
|
cancel is generated. If there is a new hazard in the
|
|
proposed table but not a matching one in the active table, then a "NEW"
|
|
is issued. If the logic detects that the user has proposed a
|
|
larger area or a longer time for an existing hazard, then the
|
|
appropriate EXT, EXA, or EXB action codes are generated.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
After the Analyzed table is complete, the hazards are filtered by
|
|
product, since not all products contain the same hazards.
|
|
The GFE and GHG Text Generation modules create the output
|
|
product. There is a fine line between the GFE and GHG text
|
|
generation portion of GFESuite. They both use the GFE text
|
|
formatter infrastructure. The GFE text formatters are for routine
|
|
forecast products and the GHG text formatters are for the watch,
|
|
warning, and advisory products.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Hazard weather element uses the auxiliary data field capability of
|
|
Discrete data. The auxiliary data field is only used in two cases with
|
|
Hazards. For convective watches (Tornado Watches and Severe
|
|
Thunderstorm
|
|
Watches), the Storm Prediction Center's (SPC) Event Tracking Number
|
|
is carried into the auxiliary data field. This is used by the VTEC
|
|
logic to determine which watch (or watches) is depicted in the grids.
|
|
The second use for the auxiliary data field is for GHG-style warning
|
|
products. It is used to define a segment number for multi-segmented
|
|
products.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The following diagram illustrates the VTEC logic that is used to
|
|
take the proposed and active tables and generate the analyzed table.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><img alt="VTEC Compare" src="images/vtecCompare.png"><br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
The result of all of this logic is an Analyzed Table, which contains
|
|
a listing of all hazards and their VTEC codes. The product
|
|
formatters then take the information in the Analyzed Table and inserts
|
|
VTEC codes and headlines into the various text products.<br>

<h2><a name="EnablingVTEC"></a>Enabling VTEC in GFE Text Products<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
VTEC can be in one of five modes:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Disabled</li>
|
|
<li>Operational ("O")</li>
|
|
<li>Test ("T")</li>
|
|
<li>Experimental ("E")</li>
|
|
<li>Experimental VTEC in an Operational Product ("X")</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The mode is controlled by a single file contained in the
|
|
/awips2/cave/etc/gfe/userPython/textUtilities/regular
|
|
directory called VTECMessageType.py (which can be overridden
|
|
at
|
|
the SITE level if necessary). The product
|
|
category, e.g., WSW, should be placed in the file and the VTEC mode
|
|
indicated by
|
|
one of the acceptable letters: "O", "T", "E", "X". If a product
|
|
category is not in this file, then VTEC is not enabled for that product.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">IMPORTANT: The file in BASE should
|
|
not be modified. Instead the following technique should be
|
|
followed.<br>
|
|
</span>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the localization perspective and browse to the GFE->TextUtilities.</li>
|
|
<li>Open the BASE level VTECMessageType.py.</li>
|
|
<li>Comment in or out the appropriate lines in the file to
|
|
enable/disable VTEC. Change the message type as appropriate
|
|
to one of the allowable codes: O, T, E, or X.</li>
|
|
<li>Use the File->Save As option to save the file as SITE, and exit the
|
|
Python editor. Exit the Localization perspective.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The default provided VTECMessageType enables "O" operational VTEC
|
|
for all
|
|
products except for the MWS, where VTEC is still experimental "X".
|

The extra filtering becomes possible with OB6, due to the dual
|
|
NotifyTextProd processes running.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
There is no other setup required for AWIPS to being sending the text
|
|
bulletins to GFESuite. However, once you first install IFPS, you
|
|
may need to restart the ingest processes on AWIPS so it
|
|
will read the routing file. Restarting data ingest is done as
|
|
user "fxa" from the stopIngest.dx4 and startIngest.dx4 for dx4 based
|
|
ifpServers.
|
|
In later versions (OB6+) of AWIPS, there are special
|
|
startNotifyTextProd scripts that are available.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION: Once your site has installed OB6, you
|
|
should add the following to your localConfig file to take advantage of
|
|
the extra filtering, but only if you are running IFPS17.6.*.
|
|
Versions post IFPS17.6 are automatically configured for the extra
|
|
filtering.<br>
|
|

<h2><a name="SynchronizationActiveTable"></a>Synchronization of the
|
|
Active Table from Backup Sites - NOT UPDATED<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
Synchronization of the Active Table from Backup Sites is used to ensure
|
|
that your VTEC table is always up-to-date. It comes in
|
|
especially handy when you enter service backup and you need the latest
|
|
active table. Based on the clock, the ifpServer will make a
|
|
request for adjacent site's active table. The remote site(s)
|
|
ifpServer will respond with the active table. The merge vtec
|
|
process compares records in the received active table against your own
|
|
active table. Entries that are newer in the received table will
|
|
be merged into your active table. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Merging characteristics are defined by the VTECPartners and
|
|
localVTECPartners configuration files. The following entries
|
|
control this process:<br>
|
|
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" border="1" cellpadding="2"

<td style="vertical-align: top;">Defines the interval that the
|

requests will be made for the active table to the

|
VTEC_TABLE_REQUEST_SITES. The recommended time is no less than 15
|
|
minutes and defaults to 60 minutes.<br>

|
<td style="vertical-align: top;">VTEC_RESPOND_TO_TABLE_REQUESTS<br>

1, then the ifpServer will respond to requests for the active table to

|

</table>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The
|
|
VTEC_TABLE_REQUEST_SITES
|
|
define the AWIPS 3-letter WFO identifiers that will be requested to
|
|
send their active table to you and the VTEC_MERGE_SITES are the sites
|
|
that will be decoded and merged into your active table. Normally
|
|
this is set up to
|
|
include your primary and secondary backup sites, and the sites that
|
|
have you as primary and secondary backup.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You will likely want to change the VTEC_TABLE_REQUEST_SITES to only
|
|
include two or three sites. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The VTEC_MERGE_SITES is usually correctly set up in the baseline and
|
|
includes all sites within your defined grid domain.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The procedure to configure the sharing of the VTEC active table is done
|
|
through the <a href="VTECPartners.html">localVTECPartners</a>
|

<h2><a name="DebuggingTables"></a>Debugging/Examining the Active,

Proposed, and Analyzed Tables - NOT UPDATED<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
The key to VTEC is the correct merging of the proposed and active
|
|
table. For diagnostics, the logging preferences file may be
|
|
edited to turn on the verbose and debug output for the VTECDecoder,
|
|
VTEC Merging, and product formatting. The contents of the
|
|
analyzed table will be output at each step of the VTEC
|
|
comparison. This is quite helpful for debugging.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
For formatters, you will want to enable the debugging for
|
|
HazardsTable.py. Here is the complete
|
|
.../etc/BASE/logPref/runIFPText.logPref file, with the line to
|

turn on debugging highlighted.<br>

<h2><a name="special"></a>Special GFE Startup Modes for VTEC Test and
|
|
Practice</h2>
|
|
There are two special GFE startup modes for VTEC testing and
|
|
practice:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>TEST</li>
|
|
<li>PRACTICE</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The PRACTICE mode uses an alternate active table to
|
|
ensure isolation from operations. Please see the <a
|
|
href="GFEStartup.html#special">GFE Startup Guide</a>
|
|
for more details on the behavior of these modes.<br>

|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Mixing Test and Operational Hazards</h3>
|
|
It is possible to mix test and operational hazards with the
|
|
GFE/GHG. When used properly, TEST hazards previously issued will
|
|
not appear in the operational products. When improperly
|
|
used, test hazards can be shown as operational hazards in a product.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
For example, if a test tornado watch (TO.A) is placed into the grids,
|
|
and an operational ZFP is generated, the headlines in the ZFP will
|
|
mention TORNADO WATCH. It is important to either remove the test
|
|
hazards from the grids prior to generation of the operational products,
|
|
or run the test products from the Fcst database while running the
|
|
official products from the Official database.<br>
