CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
Hi. I updated to version 4, followed instructions and now there is 2 problems. Dayfile error: Error at line 4 of data\dayfile.txt : Error at record 4 = "14.02" - The input string '14.02' was not in a correct format.
And NOAA-reports: old reports work just fine but this month and year doesn't. They only show values created by version 4. So i guess there is problem with formats but i don't know which ones to correct..

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
Have you checked line 4 of your dayfile? Is the format the same as the surrounding lines? Maybe attach to a reply to this topic if it looks the same to you, so others can take a look.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
So the problems was format. Old NOAA used comma and the new CMX 4 NOAA was set to use dot. I changed this in the settings. Have to wait and see if they work now..
Problem with dayfile was that some reason CMX 3 used dot in time format and CMX 4 uses colon. PC also used dot so i changed it to use colon also. So now my dayfile has 2 different time formats but i don't know if that is a problem.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
You said you followed the instructions, but it doesn't sound as if you did the data migration bit. This removes all locale-specific things from the data files. Look at the following post for details: viewtopic.php?t=22051

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem

Reports still doesn't work. I installed version 4 three times just like the instructions said but still CMX4 doesn't understand NOAA reports made by CMX3.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
What do you mean precisely by: Reports still doesn't work (yes, I read the thread)?
- Is the dayfile now correct?
- Did you regenerate the old reports prior to your v4 installation?
- Do you have a correct Records Began Date

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
Definitely more clarity needed on the problem as Hans says.
MX doesn't "read" old reports at all, it only generates them as output files. The only time it reads them is as pure text to send unaltered to the web page for display.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
There is a lot of errors in dayfile now, the time format but it still works.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
- It is not the time format which does not work, it is the values.
- Could you post the conversion log? (MigrateData-yyyyMMdd-hhmmss.txt; found in de MXdiags directory)
- Is your problem only with the interface or do you also have a (problematic) website?
- You did not answer my questions found in my previous post, please do.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
As you can see in my first post reports only show values created by CMX 4, not earlier created by CMX 3 (this month and this year).HansR wrote: ↑Fri 24 May 2024 7:41 amWhat do you mean precisely by: Reports still doesn't work (yes, I read the thread)?Could you please post the MXdiags logfile (with the startup and one rollover)

I copied the reports folder to version 4 folder before running MigrateData3to4. Problem is both interface and website because they show same thing.
Records began date is 2015-05-30, same as dayfile so i think it is correct.
But in conversion log there is nothing about noaa-reports??
Edit. I don't know why dayfile looks like that in the attachment. When i open it direct from cumulusfolder it looks normal.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
So it appears it is not conitnuing on your previous NOAA reports.
Did you copy all reports over to v4 and did you do that to the correct directory? (I noticed you do not use the standard directory name so check that. You may have a typo there)
Apparently something went wrong here (see my first remark).
Again: check the directory name!
OK.
NOAA reports are not converted. They are generated once and if you did not copy them you will have to regenerate them (See menu=>Reports)
They look normal, you probably just see the wrap of the line in your editor (e.g. notepad)
So in summary as far as I can see:
- there is no problem with your conversions according to the logfile
- likely you need to (re)copy your NOAA reports to the directory you defined in your settings under NOAA Settings=>Upload Options
NOTE: because you use PHP upload that directory needs to be the path below the CMX directory without a closing slash.
So e.g. : Reports (and nothing more than that directory name)
NOTE: the logfile indicates your NOAA reports are saved to the subdirectory reports (on the CMX machine) and are uploaded to the subdirectory NOAA-reports . That seems to go OK. So if you do not see the reports, did you really copy the v3 reports to those directories?
Just realize that that in principle has nothing to do with the NOAA reports as CMX simply continues to run after all those errors it finds and reads the day, stores the data and writes the NOAA reports. I see no other errors in the Logfile

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
OK, I see one problem.
MigrateData3to4 is not converting the times in the dayfile (or presumably the monthly files either) from using a "." separator to ":"
You could fix that yourself, edit the v3 copy of the dayfile in the datav3 folder, and do a global replace of "." to ":", then run the MigrateData3to4 again.
Another worry, is that MigrateData3to4 only found the August monthly files: elo15log.txt, elo16log.txt etc
Could you provide a list of files in your datav3 folder please?
It looks like MigrateData3to4 is not coping with the Suomi culture.

Re: CumulusMX 4 dayfile & NOAA problem
In your dayfile the times are written with a point separator (e.g. 17.45 i.s.o. 17:45).
Your locale (culture) is : suomi (Suomi) [fi-FI]
I have an idea where that comes from but I am not sure.
It is to @Mark to handle this I guess.
EDIT: Mark beat me to it

That won't work if it starts replacing decimal separators...
