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

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
