Greetings. Following instructions on
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/install.html we have
successfully installed and run edex but run into a hiccup with CAVE. Bear in
mind we are on a non-NWS linux (RHEL 6.3) workstation that has not previously
had AWIPS installed.
When running /awips2/cave/cave.sh & (as user awips from a terminal window) we
obtain the CAVE splash screen (after having originally specified OAX for a Site
and localhost as the EDEX server). This is followed by the CAVE window
appearing (menu and tool bars only, no map) and a error warning box that states
“Error creating NcGridInventory”.
After clicking OK to close the warning box, the splash screen progress bar
continues progressing to about a half way when CAVE interface disappears. The
terminal window which the cave.sh command was run then contains the following
core dump message:
[awips@lnx_env001 cave]$ cave.sh &
[1] 31766
[awips@lnx_env001 cave]$ Cleaning consoleLogs:
find /home/awips/caveData/logs/consoleLogs -type f -name *.log -mtime +7 -exec
rm {} \;
/awips2/cave/caveUtil.sh: line 291: 31803 Aborted (core dumped)
( export pid=`/bin/bash -c 'echo $PPID'`;
LOGFILE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_console.log"; export
LOGFILE_CAVE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_alertviz.log";
export
LOGFILE_PERFORMANCE="${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}_${curTime}_pid_${pid}_perf.log";
if [ -w ${LOGDIR} ]; then
touch ${LOGFILE};
fi; redirect="true"; USER_ARGS=(); while [[ -n $1 ]]; do
if [[ "$1" == "-noredirect" ]]; then
redirect="false";
else
USER_ARGS+=("$1");
fi; shift;
done; ARCH_ARGS=""; if [ -f /awips2/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so ]; then
ARCH_ARGS="-vm /awips2/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so";
fi; lookupINI "${USER_ARGS[@]}"; if [[ "${runMonitorThreads}" == "true" ]]; then
nohup ${CAVE_INSTALL}/monitorThreads.sh $pid >> /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi; if [[ "${redirect}" == "true" ]]; then
exec ${CAVE_INSTALL}/cave ${ARCH_ARGS} ${SWITCHES} "${CAVE_INI_ARG}"
"${USER_ARGS[@]}" > ${LOGFILE} 2>&1;
else
exec ${CAVE_INSTALL}/cave ${ARCH_ARGS} ${SWITCHES} "${CAVE_INI_ARG}"
"${USER_ARGS[@]}" 2>&1 | tee ${LOGFILE};
fi )
[awips@lnx_env001 cave]$
We did find along the way we needed to have /data/fxa/cave/<hostname> created
but otherwise don’t see anything obvious or subtle in the terminal window
output to address this issue.

Subject: [gembud] AWIPS II 14.2.1 Release
Hi folks,
Unidata AWIPS II 14.2.1 is now available to download for beta testing. This
non-operational version of AWIPS II runs on 64-bit Red Hat and CentOS 6, and is
provided as tarball archive and via remote yum repository.
See the Unidata AWIPS II software page for more information:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/
Full installation instructions can be found here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/install.html
For beta testers, we have made available an EDEX Data Server in the Microsoft
Azure cloud, which you can connect to at
edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu<http://edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu/> (read the
above linked installation instructions carefully).
This is a *testing* server only, for us to investigate performance. Data
availability has no guarantee, services may be stopped or restarted without
notification, load times may grow long with many simultaneous connections, and
so forth. Models from NGRID and CONDUIT are available, as are Satellite
imagery from UNIWISC and NIMAGE feeds, upper air and surface observations, and
watches and warnings and other text products.
Also note, this cloud server does not offer NEXRAD level 3 site products,
instead we have made available FNEXRAD composite (GINI satellite) images for
DHR, DVL, EET, HHC and more, which can be displayed in NCP and D2D.
Data availability on this cloud instance is limited, therefore we encourage you
to install your own EDEX Data Server, and configure the products you would like
in the LDM files etc/ldmd.conf and etc/pqact.conf (installed by the awips2-ldm
RPM).
We encourage participants to use this mailing list for troubleshooting and
other questions which benefit us all.
Enjoy!
