Seems the last 4-5 days the auto populate feature is no longer
working on my AirNav system.
Is server down somewhere? Have made no changes.
I will find out. The database update facility is working OK.

Hi Alan,
I've to tell, that the manual populate function isn't working either. Non of the posted airframes as populated. That includes the airframes that I've posted yesterday.
Ingo
I have advised Airnav and am waiting on a reply
Alan
Maybe the server wants a re-boot...
Ingo
The server is fine so I think it must be the software link, they had an issue with the server on Friday night so presumably this problem stems from that.
Alan
The populate funtion is still not working as it should. Any new information?
Thanks Ingo
Nope, got a reply overnight that I have replied to so maybe get a reply tonight.
Alan
Any news about this issue?
Still not working :(
The server software is being completely re-written so I wouldn't expect any change until it is finished
Alan
Should I understand that they are running "work in progress" software on a production server???
I'll hope that it won't take too long. Meanwhile there might be several re-postings of unknown (MIL) airframes, as I run a db download on each saturday early morning.
Regards Ingo
Liviu,
I wouldn't think so. I am no computer geek but I would imagine that the code will be written on another computer and when it is ready to go online the server would go off line and come back up running on the new software.
I don't have first hand knowledge but as far as I am aware it will take a couple of weeks.
Ingo,
I wouldn't worry about that.
Alan
Alan that's one risky way to do a transition from one sw release to another...
The more safe way is to set up a new server hardware (or back-up server hardware) with new SW version, after it is running with no errors in test mode, take "old" server offline and take "new" server online. Old server remains running as a fall back for some time. If it works with new SW on new server, the older server could be switched off after a couple of days and new SW can be installled on "old" server hardware. This server is then used as back-up server until next SW update.
That's the procedure that I am using for the measurment severs in my work life...
Ingo
Ingo,
As I said I don't have a clue they could be doing anything but I think what you have said is what I meant but I know nothing about that side of computers. I just know that they will not be working on the code on the live server, that's really asking for bother, even I with my limited knowledge knows that.
Alan
The problem is that it USED TO WORK several weeks ago and now it's not working because
QuoteThe server software is being completely re-written
???
AirNav Support or Dev are not here?
Yes populate and auto-populate both worked until a week past Friday when the server crashed.
They are not on here that often. If you want Support please feel free to drop them an email and they will confirm what I have already stated.
Alan
My auto populate seems to be working again as of today around 2000z
Hope it is fixed finally..
Thanks!
Yes, it's working here too.
Manual populate launched from MyLog list seems working too.
