Notes on the CMX release b3115/b3116

Post by HansR »

With the new release (build 3116 (which is 3115 and a bugfix) ) some remarks have to be made in relation to CumulusUtils.
  1. CumulusUtils works fine with this CMX release;
  2. If you want to keep your Graph datafiles as small as possible, only tag the series you want in

    Code: Select all

    Settings=>Station Settings=>Graphs=>Data Series Visibility 
  3. Files to transfer to your website apparently are disabled by the new release so you have to walk through again, the most obvious given below (I think all is covered but you never know)
  4. Settings=>Internet Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>Realtime Settings You must tell CMX to generate and to FTP transfer both files
  5. Settings=>Internet Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>Interval Settings=>Standard File Settings are not required
  6. Settings=>Internet Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>Interval Settings=>Graph File Settings are required, you may disable availabledata.json and airquality.json
  7. Settings=>Internet Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>Interval Settings=>Daily Graph File Settings can all be disabled
  8. Settings=>Internet Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>General Settings Make sure you activate the UTF-8
  9. Settings=>Extra web files: If you activated the Graph files above you may remove them here (if you entered them here because of a previous release).
This should get the whole thing balanced and working with only the required datafiles.
If you use e.g. the all-datafiles for another website then of course you do need to activated them. This is just about what is required for CumulusUtils.

Notes or Advice b3121 - Cumulus Utils

Post by Hoeveld »

I have just updated CumulusMX to build 3121

CumulusMX is working but I cant get the Cumulus Utils to generate and update the website.......

I note Hans advice Feb 26 2021, and ask if there are any other pointers to remedy this ?

Cordially........

@Hoeveld: By coincidence just reading the mail so a fast reply ;)

Reading the logfile I notice you do not give an argument to CumulusUtils.
The commandline should be:

Code: Select all

utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe [command]
Where command is anything you want it to do e.g. website
Hope this helps.

Sorted, I cut and pasted the command line but did not include "Website"

Thanks.........
