Progress and Status for the Transition of GTS to WIS2 #32

Open kaiwirt opened 2 years ago

kaiwirt commented 2 years ago

Each sensor center forwards reports for

  1. data received via GTS
  2. data received via WIS2 to the monitoring center.

The monitoring center flags reports only received via GTS

Kai, you mentioned GTS and WIS2, but what about the handling of DAR part?

As I informed you on the email, I consider current WIS consists of two parallel parts: GTS (part A) and DAR (part B). There are some overlaps and it's difficult to separate. For example, data acquired via HTTPS over the internet may be delivered via the dedicated GTS line. This is the situation of GISC Tokyo, but our GTS server is a mature system and it is difficult to add new functions. The server in charge of the DAR part also stores the data received via GTS in the 24h cache, and I think it is possible to monitor it. I would say this corresponds to the monitoring of current WIS, not GTS. I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice.

This is to monior the transition from WIS2 to GTS. So the important part is, that we can make sure, that all reports centers are receiving via GTS today will be available via WIS2 Pub/Sub.

In that case it is not important where the monitoring takes place (which system). So you can run this on the 24h-Cache if this is more convenient for you. The important part here is, that the monitoring "sees" all observations that you receive via the GTS and which you receive via Pub/Sub. The monitoring center can then mark the missing data.

Maybe it is better to think of that you need to generate one report for data you receive today with whatever protocol. And one report for data you receive via Pub/Sub.

Does that mean we would like to monitor that all current data is available via Pub/Sub?

What I was worried about was that GISC Tokyo receives data from some countries via internet HTTPS and delivers it via GTS dedicated line, so it may be DAR for GISC Tokyo but GTS for other GISCs. If we would like to monitor whether the current data is included in Pub/Sub, I think it is better to include DAR as well.

The idea is, that we replace Bulletins and GTS routing with WIS2. And the monitoring needs to assess that data, that is currently available with Bulletins and GTS routing, will also be available using WIS2.

Thus, the monitoring center needs to check if each file you receive, is also available in WIS2. So each sensor center needs to tell the monitoring center i receive these files with GTS/HTTPS/FTP and these files with MQP.
