On Thursday, March 21st, 2024 the NCF will be
switching its Server Operations from the Backup
AWIPS NCF (BNCF) in Fairmont, WV to the
Primary AWIPS NCF (ANCF) in College Park, MD. The
switch transition will take place as follows:
.
0600 UTC - ITO switch to ANCF
1015 UTC - REMEDY switch to ANCF
1315 UTC - DSUPS switch to ANCF
1330 UTC - MHS switch to ANCF
1345 UTC - SBN switch to HMGS
1345 UTC - COLLABORATION switch to ANCF
1345 UTC - DATA DELIVERY switch to ANCF
.
The switch will not be done on a critical weather
day, or if there are other significant operational
issues warranting postponement.
.
All BNCF message distribution (MHS) will be
repointed to the ANCF. The switch will take about
20 minutes. Data will queue while the switch is in
progress and will be sent once the switch is
complete. This will affect data originating at NWS
field offices and National Centers on the AWIPS
network including radar data.

Any questions or issues should be addressed to the
AWIPS/NCF helpdesk at 888-808-8624.
