/WARM
At the end of each run the OMS system dumps a copy of its memory into a
binary file. When you next start the OMS system you can elect to initialize
memory to that state, or to start 'cold' with parameters initialized to
zeros.
This capability is important for the OMS system. One of it's major functions
is to determined if any engineering parameters have changed their values
significantly. If the system has no knowledge of the previous values, one
can get a number of false warnings.
However, it is also a dangerous feature. You don't want to run the system
with an irrelevant copy of the memory as an initial state. The system is
designed to protect the user in this regard: if the initial memory is more
than an hour old, OMS must be initialized without the 'warm' qualifier.
/COLD
This qualifier is identical to a /NOWARM qualifier. OMS memory will not
be reloaded in this case.
/SOURCE
This qualifier indicates that the FILENAME specified as the first parameter
is not an AEDP engineering subset file, but an ASCII list of filenames.
The software will then open FILENAME and attempt to process each file
specified in that list.
/REPROCESS
This qualifier should be given when you wish to reprocess old data and
do not wish to produce the SAVE-file information. This flag causes the
analysis routine to pass over several calculation steps, speeding up the
processing. The observation logs for each observation will be produced
whether this flag is set or not.
/GAP
This qualifier is specified to process AEDP files that were missing from
a previous run. A gap of more than five minutes between AEDP files is
reported in the log file and a TLM_PROB message appears in header files
for all observations active during the gap. If the gap is one hour or more,
then commons are reinitialized. To reprocess missing AEDP files, determine
which observation has the earliest BOACQ1 time and reprocess this AEDP
file, and include missing files that coincide with the starting and
ending gap times reported in the header file. This qualifier forces a
cold start and prevents corruption of the memory dump file by not reading
or writing to it. Repoint logicals OMS_OUTPUT_DIR and OMS_PIPELINE_DIR
to a new empty directory to avoid data corruption. The syntax is
/GAP=(START,END)
START
This qualifier is specified as yyyy.ddd:hh:mm:ss.sss when processing
missing AEDP files. It will prevent duplicating correct jitter files
(CM*) that preceded the gap of missing AEDP files.
END
This qualifier is specified as yyyy.ddd:hh:mm:ss.sss when processing
missing AEDP files. It will prevent duplicating correct jitter files
(CM*) that followed the gap of missing AEDP files. This time must be
later than START or the command will abort.
