EDEX Service Manager

There are five EDEX service installed into /etc/init.d/, four of which run on boot:

service postgres start
service httpd-pypies start
service qpidd start
service edex_camel start

The fifth, edex_ldm, does not run at boot to prevent filling up disk space if EDEX is not running.

service edex_ldm start

All of these services are started and stopped by a single program edex,

edex setup

edex setup

[edex] EDEX IP and Hostname Setup
 Checking /awips2/database/data/pg_hba.conf [OK]
 Checking /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env [OK]

[edit] Hostname edex.unidata.ucar.edu added to /awips2/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf
[done]

This command configures and/or confirms that the EDEX hostname and IP address definitions exist (edex setup is run by edex start).

If your EDEX server is running but you see the message "Connectivity Error: Unable to validate localization preferences" in CAVE, it may mean that the domain name defined in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env can not be resolved from outside the server. Some machines have different internally-resolved and externally-resolved domain names (cloud-based especially). The name defined in setup.env must be externally-resolvable.

edex purge

To view any stuck purge jobs in PortgreSQL (a rare but serious problem if your disk fills up). The solution to this is to run edex purge reset.
