Export_scn Configuration File
(last revised July 9, 2002)
1. EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE
# export_scn configuration file
#
# Exports messages from a given list of station/channel/network codes
# Knows how to decipher TYPE_TRACEBUF, TYPE_PICK2K, TYPE_CODA2K msgs
#
#Background:
# Import/Export are the long-distance message transfer
# modules. They operate as one-on-one pairs. There are two variants of
# export: export_generic, which ships messages with specified logos, and
# export_scn which ships only trace data, but with specified SCN names.
#
# Import/Export send heartbeats to each other, as well as into their
# local earthworm systems. If the heartbeat from the distant partner is
# not received whithin the expected time period (RcvAliveInt) the link is
# terminated, and an attempt to reconnect is initiated. If things go
# seriously wrong, the heartbeat into the local earthworm system in
# stopped. The expectation is that "restartMe" has been set in the .desc
# file, and we'll be killed and restarted.
#
# All socket operations are performed with a timeout. This is noramlly
# defaulted, but can be set in this file (SocketTimeout).
#
# Export maintains a circular FIFO buffer of messages to be shipped. The
# size of this buffer (RingSize) controls the maximum latency of the
# data.
#
#
#Configuration notes:
#
# "restartMe" should be stated in our desc file.
#
# The period of our local heartbeat (HeartBeatInt) must be safely smaller
# (faster) than our advertised period in our .desc file (tsec:).
# Otherwise we'll get continually restarted for no good reason.
# Note that tsec:0 implies no heartbeats expected, and so we'll never get
# restarted.
#
# The rate at which we send heartbeats to our distant partner should be
# considerably faster than the rate at which our partner expects them.
# Otherwise, a heartbeat delayed in transmission will cause our partner to
# conclude that the link is broken, and cause them to break the link and
# reinitialize. Which will cause us to do the same.
#
# For export, the ServerIPAdr is the address of the port to be used in
# the exporting machine. This is to specify a network card case the
# exporting machine has several network cards.
#
# If SocketTimeout is specified, it should be at least as large as the
# expected period of heartbeats from our distant partner.
#
MyModuleId MOD_EXPORT_SCN # module id for this program
RingName WAVE_RING # transport ring to use for input/output
HeartBeatInt 30 # EW internal heartbeat interval (sec)
# Should be >= RcvAliveInt
LogFile 1 # If 0, don't write logfile; if 1, do.
# if 2, write to module log but not to
# stderr/stdout
#
# Logos of messages to export to client systems
# Installation Module Message Type
GetMsgLogo INST_MENLO MOD_WILDCARD TYPE_TRACEBUF
# ServerIPAdr and ServerPort specify the local IP address and port number
# on which this module will be ready to accept a client connection.
#
ServerIPAdr aaa.bbb.cc.ddd # Export messages via this ethernet card
ServerPort 16005 # Well-known port number to export msgs on
MaxMsgSize 900 # maximum size (bytes) for input/output msgs
RingSize 100 # max# messages in outgoing circular msg buffer
SendAliveText "alive" # string sent to client as heartbeat
SendAliveInt 30 # seconds between alive msgs sent to client.
# 0=> no heartbeat
RcvAliveText "alive" # text of client's heartbeat (we get this)
RcvAliveInt 150 # seconds between client's heartbeats to us.
# 0 => no heartbeat
#MaxLatency 0 # Optional command; Packets with delay time
# (i.e., time between present and packet
# start time) greater than this amount will be
# filtered out. Time is in minutes. 0 -> time
# is not checked. System time must be accurate.
# Only works on TYPE_TRACEBUF messages.
# Socket commands
# The commands below are optional.
# SocketTimeout defaults to RcvAliveInt + 3
# If set to -1, all socket calls will block (no timeout).
# SocketTimeout has no effect in export, unless it is set to -1,
# because there is no code in export to handle socket timeouts.
# If set to -1, the program may run slightly more efficiently because
# timeout checking code will not execute.
#
SocketTimeout 200000 # Timeout length in milliseconds for socket calls
# this should be atleast the value of the RcvAliveInt
SocketDebug 0 # if 1, socket_ew debug statements are logged
# if 0, socket_ew debug is turned off
# List of station/channel/network codes to export.
# Use any combination of Send_scn (to send data as-is)
# and Send_scn_remap (to change the SCN on the fly) commands.
# Use * as a wildcard for any field. A wildcard in the
# "map to" fields of Send_scn_remap means that field will
# not be renamed.
#
# send SCN map to SCN
Send_scn JMP ASZ NC # send this specific channel
Send_scn JPS * NC # send all components of JPS NC
Send_scn_remap JGR VHZ NC * EHZ * # change component code only
Send_scn_remap CAL * NC ALM * * # send all component of CAL, but
# change the site code to ALM
