MEMORANDUM FOR: Distribution E
FROM: John H. Ward
Chief, Production Management Branch
Subject: Changes to the NWS Production Suite
1. NCEP Central Operations (NCO) has instituted a Change Control Board (CCB) to
oversee the change process for all of NCO. All change requests (JIFs) for
changes
to the CCS Production Suite must be received by close of business on Wednesday
in
order to be reviewed by the CCB on Thursday.
2. The NWS Telecommunications Operations Center (TOC) is currently under a
moratorium on changes to operational data flow, while they replace their legacy
mainframe system and the Andrews File System (AFS). During the moratorium no
new
NCEP model data will be added to TOC FTP server (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov), AWIPS, or
NOAAPORT. Limited resources on the NCEP FTP server (ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov) will
not
permit it to be utilized as an interim source of new data during the moratorium.
Further details on the impact of the moratorium will be provided as they become
available.
3. There has been significant improvement in the delivery of NCEP products to
the
TOC FTP server (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov). Some additional minor improvements can be
expected over the next few weeks as the interim solution is completed.
4. Maintenance of subscriptions to the JIF memo mailing list can be performed
via a
new list server at:
