Hello All, I know that there is a generalized explanation of what the gap Detector is HERE, but I am looking for either some examples of use within a process or some tutorials.  I have not been successful setting up what I thought should be a very easy email notification of when a data stream stopped, but I am having no success. I have a lightning strike feed from WeatherBug that covers Pennsylvania.  I use a GEP "Receive Text from a TCP Socket" in client mode and send a handshake message to authenticate.  When there is no lightning activity, the service sends a "keep-alive" message (in the message, the lightning type code "9" tells me it is a keep-alive message so that I can filter it out) every 15 seconds.  After about 6 to 8 hours, the remote server sends a "RESET" packet to my server and then stops sending messages.  I have talked to the data provider, and they simply say that I need to have my software send a new connect message.... So right now, I am simply trying to have GEP send an email message for when it doesn't hear a message from the data provider after 20 seconds.  I set that up, along with an email output, with no success: [ATTACH=CONFIG]34535[/ATTACH] What might I be doing wrong?  I am trying to test this setup, but it will not respond when I simply stop the input.  I have set up a GeoEvent Simulator with a stream of 5 packets.  After the 5 packets are sent, no email. I also am wondering if and when I get this actually working, how am I supposed to tell what the event is?  A stopping of the stream or a start of the stream?  I don't believe that there is a new GeoEvent Definition created....

Does the browser version of OD support filtering based on a time field, relative to current time?  I have it working with just a simple numerical or text attribute, but not with relative time.  The old "! Connectivity Issues" alert appears on the top bar when I select one.  Thanks, Adam ... View more

Sorry for the horrible title, I am not a programmer to say the least. I am looking for the best method to put one of three attributes in a field based on the value of 2 other fields.  To understand the context, the field GPSTime gives the GPS device time in seconds calculated from the satellite data stream.  If that value is 0, then the device is not able to calculate position; maybe because the device cannot see the sky.  If the device is unable to calculate position, it is also unable to produce the values to calculate speed, therefore speed does not matter at that point... If SPEED > 0 AND GPSTimeSec > 0 then STATUS = "Moving" If SPEED = 0 AND GPSTimeSec > 0 then STATUS = "Stopped" If GPSTimeSec = 0 then STATUS = "NoGPS" I am looking to get the STATUS field updated with one of those three values.  What processor should I use and how should I formulate the statement so that GEP understands?  OR, am I barking up the wrong tree? Thank you, --Adam **Edit for additional information** For the time being, I have just forked the service 3 ways, adding a filter element to each fork - one for each needed value.  After each filter, I added a simple field calculator for each value (ex: Expression: 'NoGPS') and then pulled each back into the end output. This just doesn't seem like the most efficient way. ... View more

I updated OD on my computer and published a new Operations View with a new Web Map populated with a Map Service.  I have set the OD program to refresh the dynamic Map Service every 5 seconds.  This refresh works in the actual program, but does not work at all when using the Browser version of the OD.  So far, I have tried IE 10 and Chrome.  Is this a known issue? ...

Before the change at 10.1, I was able to package up my OLE DB (Jet) connection file for Access in a coordinated folder along with a scratchworkspace GDB and other SDE connection files and distribute a Model for other users to execute.  Now it seems that I cannot do this because of the change noted in this help literature. Now, all of the analysts have to set up their own connections and they have to change this parameter every time they open the model.  Am I missing something here?   What if I wanted to convert this to python and run it as a scheduled server task?  Thanks, --Adam ...
