Unidata EDEX and CAVE version 15.1.2 are now available.
To update you can run the installEDEX.sh or installCAVE.sh scripts on your workstations (see full install instructions).
You can also manually update with:
yum clean all && yum groupupdate awips2-server
(or groupupdate awips2-cave for CAVE)
Our cloud-based data server (edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu) has been updated to the latest build and is serving a larger set of data than before, including a subset of MRMS grids.
Noteworthy EDEX updates:
- No more Qpid bottleneck preventing restarts
- MRMS NOAAport ingest support (enabled by default in pqact.conf)
- MRMS NSSL support using gunzip/dcgunzip (optional)
- More complete LDM pqact entries for various HDS grids
- Single file sourced from /etc/profile.d/ rather than multiples (true for CAVE as well)
- ECMWF global grid compositing
CAVE:
- New Models/VolumeBrowser menu and default bundles, including meso analysis (RTMA/URMA) and ocean models (ESTOFS/ETSS)
- Toolbar buttons to open NCP data manager, NSHARP, and Product Browser (NC data will open in its own D2D map editor)
- Satellite Menu UNIWISC imagery bundles
- GFE vcmodule muted, which now allows the GFE perspective to load correctly
- Re-enabled user-created colormaps
- Various menu organization changes
Is your Azure Edex instance up and running? The only port I see available for connections on http://edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu is 22.

Andre, the cloud server definitely is accepting connections. If you're using Unidata CAVE 15.1.2 you only need to specify the domain name (correct: edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu) without the port or services part (incorrect: http://edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu:9581/services)

Have you gotten the drawing tool working yet, where you can get to the saved vector drawing data?
