WES82 Patch #3

WES Home

Note: This patch is optional

Problem:

After the release of WES 8.2, changes were made to AWIPS OB 8.2 which moves Warning Display Selection from under the NCEP/Hydro menu to the Obs menu.

Note: This patch updates the following file /awips/fxa/data/localization/nationalData/dataMenus.txt. If you have previously customized this file, you will need to manually copy the new file from the WES82_patch3 directory and recustomize the new version.

Solution:

  • Follow this link to download the patch tar file: Download WES82_patch3.tar.gz
  • tar -xvzf WES82_patch3.tar.gz   (anywhere on the WES machine)
  • cd WES82_patch3
  • ./WES82_patch3.csh (Runs a script which automatically updates WES software files)
  • For this change to take affect on a specific case, a localization with the -tables switch must be run. Prior to running this, check your /awips/fxa/data/localization/nationalData/aviationDataMenus.txt file to see if the word "menu:" is at the top. If it is, then change this to "submenu:" before localizing. This will prevent other menus from disappearing.
