| Action | Description |
| SAR | Save/Automatic Replace - This file was not changed in the R4.1 baseline, so therefore the modified file can be saved and then replace the baseline file automatically during installation. |
| SMR | Save/Manual Replace - This file was not changed in the R4.1 baseline, but the impact of the site changes are not known or tested, so therefore, the site should checkout the system as delivered, and then reinstate the changes and check it out again. |
| SMM | Save/Manual Merge - This file was changed in the R4.1 baseline, to the extent that functionality or data would be lost if the file was overwritten by the site's modified file. However, the format (columns) of the data file has not changed and the site can safely merge their changes back into the baseline file. |
| NP | No Problem - This file is not being redelivered in R4.1 or is not a baseline file, so it will not be affected. |
| CA | Caution Advised - The use or format of this file has changed significantly in R4.1. It is not advisable to merge old changes back into this file without first contacting HQ. |
| CF | Custom Files - Move changes to the specified file in $FXA_DATA/customFiles/<filename> and the changes will be incorporated with the localization during the upgrade |
| ND | National Data change - The site change(s) is a national data change and needs to be reflected in the baseline via OM so that the info will be available for ALL sites at the upgrade. |
| DM | Do not Modify - DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE (worse than the CA type). Modifications to this file may give unpredictable results. If you must modify, save the changes and test the new system first. It may do what the site wants without needing the mods. |
| File | Action | Notes |
| data/CitiesInfo.txt | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/LocalCitiesInfo.txt
The only entries in this file should be additional cities or cities that one wishes to change the characteristics of. Run the -wwa and -station tasks on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| data/MTR.goodness
data/MTR.primary |
CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/MTR.goodness
The only entries in this file should be the stations to change or add. If the "goodness" value has a decimal point, this will BECOME the progressive disclosure distance, otherwise it is RELATIVE. Run the -station task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| nationalData/countourStyle.rules | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/contourStyle.rules with only the
entries one wants to modify.
Run the -grids task on workstation machines to implement the change. This applies to any *.rules file. |
| appInfo.txt | MSM | This file SHOULD NOT BE MODIFIED! If it has to be,
do a manual merge |
| textOfficeMenuProduct.txt | SAR | |
| textAlarmAlertProducts.txt | SAR | |
| fxa-users | SAR | |
| patmat.dat | MSM | (another lab) |
| data/metarStationInfo.txt | ND | This is a national data set and if there are fixes, they need to be;
given to the Build Manager to be put into the baseline.
To effect change, restart metar ingest on DS, run -station task on WS. |
| data/multiLoadInfo.txt | CF | Put CHANGES only in $FXA_DATA/customFiles/localMultiLoadInfo.txt
Run the -tables task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| radar.cfg | MSM | (for the product monitor...) |
| aliasProduct.txt | MSM | |
| userFields.txt | NP | This file is changed on-the-fly by Product Maker and does not matter if changed. |
| DataSets/LLL/radarDepictKeys.txt | DM | Do not modify this file; it get overwritten each time you run a localizaton. |
| DataSets/LLL/radarsInUse.txt | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/LLL-radarsInUse.txt |
| DataSets/LLL/radarsOnMenu.txt | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/LLL-radarsOnMenu.txt |
| DataSets/LLL/dialRadars.txt | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/LLL-dialRadars.txt |
| DataSets/LLL/portInfo.txt | cf | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/LLL-portInfo.txt |
| *mainConfig.txt | CF | Create file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/mainConfig.txt
Put only lines in that are changed from the LLL-mainConfig.txt delivered. Changes here can potentially affect any machine or localization task depending on the directives used. |
| DataSets/LLL/textDepictKeys.txt | CF | Do not modify this file because it is overwritten by localization.
Create $FXA_DATA/customFiles/localDepictKeys.txt and just put in the keys to change or the additional keys to create. Run the -tables task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| DataSets/LLL/textDataKeys.txt | CF | Do not modify this file because it is overwritten by localization.
Create $FXA_DATA/customFiles/localDataKeys.txt and just put in the keys to change or the additional keys to create. Run the -tables task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| wwaConfig.temp | MSM | Looks like a local temp file -- notused by WFO-A |
| www.config | MSM | Looks like a local temp file -- can't find at the site |
| wwaConfig.txt | CF | Create a file $FXA_DATA/customFiles/wwaConfig.txt with the changes
required.
Run the -wwa task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| wwaConfig1.txt | MSM | Looks like a local temp file -- not used by WFO-A |
| DataSets/LLL/wwa_counties.id | WW | Jim Ramer would like someone to find out why this was changed.
This is wiped out by localization and it should not be changed. |
| DataSets/LLL/wwa_county_def.template | SMM | This is wiped out by localization and it should not be changed.
User should wait to see how warnGen functions before making changes to this. Make change in nationalData/wwa_county_def.preTemplate and save off because it will be overwritten by next upgrade. |
| DataSets/LLL/wwa_counties_list.template | SMM | This is wiped out by localization and it should not be changed.
User should wait to see how warnGen functions before making changes to this. Make change in nationalData/wwa_counties_list.preTemplate and save off because it will be overwritten by next upgrade. |
| DataSets/LLL/cities.lpi | LO | This is wiped out by localization and it should not be changed.
cp cities.lpi to $FXA_DATA/customFiles/cities.goodness. Run the -station task on workstation machines to implement the change. CAREFUL! The site needs to know that if new cities are added with the upgrade, they will be lost from the cities map background if you override this file. Recommend that changes be put in the citiesInfo.txt as described above. |
| DataSets/LLL/MTR.spi | LO | Same as above (cities.lpi) |
| DataSets/LLL/radarProductButtons.txt | DM | This is wiped out by localization and it should not be changed.
Also, a user could inadvertantly wipe out new functionality for the build by changing this. Sites should wait and see how radar stuff works in the new before messing around with this. If needed, changes should be made to nationalData/radarProductButtons.template and the new file saved off as it will be overwritten by the next upgrade. Run the -radar task on workstation machines to implement the change. |

| national_category_table.dat | WW | Darien Davis wants more info on what was modified in this file.
May need
to reflect in national data baseline. |
| nationalData/state.abbrev | ND | (Boston needs the update) |
| DataSets/LLL/wwa_*.wwaProd | W-CF | These are wiped out by localization and should not be changed.
Jim Ramer suggest that before changing (on site) to test warngen and make sure that the mods aren't 1) already handled by the new warngen, or 2) sure that they are what the site really wants. To effect changes, create $FXA_DATA/customFiles/wwa_*.preWWA (wwa_*.preWWAB for bullet style). These files must be created with the complete text (not just changes) Run the -wwa task on workstation machines to implement the change. |
| backgroundMenus.txt | CF | Create $FXA_DATA/customFiles/otherBackgroundMenus.txt
with only the changes (or added entries) in it. |

May need
to reflect in national data baseline. |
| dataMenus.txt | DM | |
| afosMasterPIL.txt | ND | A manual merge has to be done if changes are needed.
Any changes to this file should be propagated back to the national data baseline. |
