CSPP Geo GRB instructions for GOES-18 Transition to Operations

CSPP Geo GRB instructions to prepare for GOES-West change on Jan 4, 2023
------------------------------------------------------------------------

These instructions are a required step for users processing GOES-West data (which at the time of this forum post is from GOES-17).

On Jan 4, 2023, GOES-18 will replace GOES-17 as the operational GOES-West satellite at 137 degrees west longitude. Users running CSPP Geo GRB will
be required to make a change to the configuration file grb-ingestor.conf.

Users running CSPP Geo GRB 1.0.26 or earlier should update the following line to reference GOES-18:

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dconfig=GOES-18.xml

Once grb-ingestor.conf is updated, the ingest system will
need to be restarted, e.g.:

[cspp-geo-grb-1.0]$ ./cspp-geo-grb.sh stop

(wait for proper shutdown)

[cspp-geo-grb-1.0]$ ./cspp-geo-grb.sh start

This restart should be done as close to the actual cutover as possible
to avoid data loss.

Users running CSPP Geo GRB 1.0.27 can edit grb-ingestor.conf and set the satellite configuration to the new setting available in this version which will auto-detect and process any satellite in the GOES-R series:

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dconfig=GOES-R-Series.xml

In this case, users can make the change and restart at any convenient time prior to the Jan 4th cutover date. The CSPP software will detect and
automatically handle the satellite change when it occurs.

Please contact csppgeo.issues@ssec.wisc.edu with any questions.
