Cumulus Support

Hi.

I have just installed CumulusMX 3.9.0 (3095).
I have installed it over a copy of my Cumulus1 installation.
The idea was to migrate to MX after a decade in C1.
After a lot of editing here and there, it seems to be working OK.

But I can't get the NOAA Reports to work.
In the admin interface, I can only access the yearly reports.
It does not find any monthly reports, just says ...does not exist.
When I try to generate a new report, it gets the name "NOAAMO0020.txt".
I have checked everywhere, and only find the correct definition "NOAAMO"mmyy".txt"
The yearly reports seems to work OK.

What have I missed?

Hi,
What file names are in your \CumulusMX\Reports folder?

Are your Settings - NOAA settings correct?
Mine are:
Monthly filename format
'NOAAMO'MMyy'.txt'
Yearly filename format
'NOAAYR'yyyy'.txt'

Note all the single quotes and capital MM which produces NOAAMO1020.txt and NOAAYR2020.txt files.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi.
Thanks.
I knew it was something very simple.
I had simply overseen the obvious.

Changing from "mmyy" to "MMyy" did the trick.
Not used to "MM" being numerical.
"mm" is default, for some reason.

"mm" was the default on Cumulus 1, with Cumulus MX moving to .Net the default format string for numeric month becomes "MM", and mm is for minutes.

MX does check for the old format string and automatically update it if required, but I just checked and it is looking for - 'NOAAMO'mmyy'.txt' - note the single quotes, and you have double. Cumulus 1 generated the name with single quotes by default - or at least the later versions did.

I'll add a catch for the use of double quotes in the old format too.

Hi.

I didn't really reflect wether it was single or double quotes.
I just assumed the system got it right. With MM it does.
Does it make any difference?
Should I change it?
It seems to be working now.

The type of quotes doesn't matter. But by default MX will use single quotes.
