Q: When can the users publish their data requests in PREd without Data Support approval?
|
Q: Are the changes of the publication immediately effective once the data request is published? No, changes will need some time to be effective. It is possible to check the pick-up times table to see what will be the next run to be disseminated according to the new data request. For example, if the publication requests contains oper data and it is published at 9:00 UTC, the next run to be disseminated with the new data will be the 06z (if requested) or the 12z (if 06 is not installed). |
Q: What happens in case of issues for data published outside office time?
|
Q: How can a user revert to a previous version of a feed? If you want to revert to a previous version of the feed, go to the page of the feed. On the right side, you will see the list of available Actions, click on "All versions" (see screenshot below). This will open a page with the list of the last versions of the feed. Click on the three dots of the version you want to revert, a drop-down menu will open, with different actions available (see screenshot below).

Q: What happens if the user wants to publish more data than allowed by the contractual Volume band?If the amount of data to be published exceeds the limit allowed by the volume band of the licence, it will not be possible to publish the data request, because adding more data than allowed by the volume band requires an amendment to the licence. The user will be notified when trying to publish too much data, and he/she will be able to choose to confirm the publication of the data.
Other feeds remain available for edit and publication provided that they remain below the volume limit. |
Q: What if my feed won't validate?The validation is an essential task to protect the ECMWF product generation system. If the feed does not validate (the bug does not turn green), your publication will not be completed. Assistance with validation errors will only be undertaken during ECMWF office hours by the Data Support Team. |
