U.S. Army Corps of Engineers What does the DCP_Monitor require?  DAMSNT Data Source (LRGS, DRGS, NOAAPORT)  DECODES decoding metadata (if you want to decode the messages)  LRGS “Netlist” (if you don’t need to decode the messages)  Access to the DCS “pdt.compressed” table to get PDT metadata What does the DCP_Monitor require?  DAMSNT Data Source (LRGS, DRGS, NOAAPORT)  DECODES decoding metadata (if you want to decode the messages)  LRGS “Netlist” (if you don’t need to decode the messages)  Access to the DCS “pdt.compressed” table to get PDT metadata

71. One Corps Serving the Armed Forces and the Nation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers DCS PDT Table is crucial  In any future system we will need basic metadata for PDTs  Sometimes the “pdt.compressed” file becomes stale (more than several days old)  Need a more reliable system of generating and posting the PDT metadata DCS PDT Table is crucial  In any future system we will need basic metadata for PDTs  Sometimes the “pdt.compressed” file becomes stale (more than several days old)  Need a more reliable system of generating and posting the PDT metadata
