Subject of the material:

This script creates a NIMNAT message, WCL product, and WOU product for training on the Watch by County procedure. It saves the trainer from having to edit the WCL and WOU products each time the training is done.

This script saves the trainer from editing several files and sending them to the text database. The training and testing that this script targets is described in section 1.8 (Watch by County / Watch County Notification) of the WWA Users manual. The script will create the proper formats for the WCL and WOU products normally issued by SPC. The script starts the training as if SPC just requested a conference call and issued a WCL product. It continues with the issuance of a WOU product that the trainee will have to ingest and then issue the WCN product from.

Location(s):

    This script is valid everywhere

Format(s):
      Executable borne shell file.

Length or estimated time for completion: variable

Additional Information:

Make sure the executable bit is set before running script.
