Export_scnl Configuration File

(last revised 9 April 2010)

## 1. EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

    #  export_scnl configuration file
    #
    #  Exports messages from a given list of station/comp/network/loc codes
    #
    #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_scnl which ships only trace data, but with specified SCNL 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.

                                   #  0 => no heartbeat
     MaxLatency         60         # Optional command; Packets with delay time
                                   #  (i.e., time between present and packet

    #
    # Socket commands (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

    #SocketDebug   0       # if 1, socket_ew debug statements are logged
                           # if 0, socket_ew debug is turned off (default)

    # List of station/channel/network/loc codes to export.
    #--------------------------------------------------------
    # NOTE: Send_scn and Send_scn_remap commands are now obsolete, and
    # have been replaced with Send_scnl and Send_scnl_remap (which
    # include the location code field).  If the old commands are used,
    # export_scn sets the location code field to * (wildcard).
    #
    # Use any combination of Send_scnl (to send data as-is) and
    #   Send_scnl_remap (to change the SCNL on the fly) commands.
    # Use * as a wildcard for any field. A wildcard in the
    #   "map to" fields of Send_scnl_remap means that field will
    #   not be renamed.
