Updated CDBS database on System40 with the data from the last FCC CDBS data release on January 10, 2024.

Recoded a program that checks the latest LMS raw data for new application versions that were not processed by eLMS in order to assign an RECid to that application. This program will not be transitioned until later in the project.

At this time, we are reconsidering our transition strategy for the database including when to cut databases over to Sys40 and the eventual cut over of eLMS and the web applications.  

Installed LMS into the System40 data environment. 

Modified programs that are used to read LMS raw data to write changes to the REC database.

Set up morning update scripts for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.  Added the LMS updater into that script.  Other items will be added later.

Complete rewrite of the process and programs used to update Mexico broadcast data (AM, FM and TV). The new programs automate many of the steps in the process we use to retrieve this data from the IFT, parse it and present it.  While recent system changes at the IFT still make this a manual process in one way, we have automated the rest and reduced the need to run 6 programs down to 2.  The new programs also substantially reduce the number of calls made to FCC resources for FM and TV during these updates.

Migrated and deployed internal system N10.

Converted three perl command line scripts into a single PHP script to support the updating of frequency schedules from the High Frequency Coordination Committee (HFCC) to support the display of frequency and language schedules for domestic international broadcast stations in FCCdata.  The new script reduces the updating process from 5 steps to 2 steps.

Updated table mexico.mex_folios to include new columns:

Deleted and restarted certificate for mylpfm.com.  

Modified DNS and migrated files of the main recnet.net domain to System40.

Transitioned University of North Texas display for FCC Record.  

Repaired FMMAP. 

Recoded and transitioned internal application N12.

Recoded and transitioned internal application N11.

Recoded and transitioned MX Window Mapper (used by FWATS for showing MX application relations).

As a part of the REC System40 transition project, there will be work that will be performed during the weekend of September 21 & 22, 2024 which may disrupt the user experience.

Established a new third-level domain calls.recnet.com.  Copied the code from recnet.net/calls to this new virtual server directory.  Placed redirects on both legacy and Sys40 to the new site.  This is a part of the System40 objective to remove public facing applications from recnet.net in favor of recnet.com. 

Upon reconsideration, we will be transitioning recnet.net API endpoints to api.recnet.net.  The recnet.net/api endpoints will be depreciated and eventually removed with the change of the recnet.net domain to System40.

As a part of REC's System40 Project, we have migrated the REC Spare Callsign List application from the current legacy server to the new System40 server.  

A part of the project plan is to migrate public facing services that are on the recnet.net domain to recnet.com.  

With this, we are making the following URL change:

NOTE: Going forward, you may see items referenced as "Internal App" with an identifier.  These are for applications and sites that are used internally by REC and do not have general public access.

Recoded, transitioned and reset certificates for the web UI related command line scripts for the functionality used to define, build and make visible, the log files used by Playout ONE Pro  for Delmarva FM & FM Riverton.  Changes were made to Playout ONE File Copy to reflect the new location of generated log files. 

In preparation for the next major phase (recnet.net services), we have identified all of the various directories, files and subdomains that are associated with recnet.net services and have developed a project plan for the disposition of each of those resources. 

The plan is that all human usable functions will be transitioned over to the recnet.com domain with redirects from the current recnet.net URL.  

recnet.net will be used mainly for utility purposes, machine to machine (API) and future data offerings. 

Recoded and transitioned the REC/J1 Japan Earthquake website (eew.j1fm.com & eew.recnet.net).  

Recoded and transitioned the APIs that receive Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) data from the EEW monitor that resides on the J1 Rivendell automation system. 

On September 17, 2024 (EDT), REC  Networks is transitioning the J1/REC Japan Earthquake website as a part of the System40 initiative.  This site is accessible through the following domain names:

• eew.j1fm.tokyo
• eew.recnet.net

This site displays historical details of earthquakes in Japan dating back to the year 2011. 

During this transition period, users may encounter:

We have completed the transition of text to speech (TTS) services and all J1 related support services to System40.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, there was an interruption of broadcasting on all four channels for approximately 10 minutes.  

We are currently doing post launch verifications on the J1 transition.
