The weather data adapter can be run with the following command line options:
nms‑weatherDataAdapter [-v] [-debug] [-hourly] [‑weekly] [-exdb]
Option
Description
-v
Turn on verbose output.
-debug
Turn on debug to assist with adapter issues. If debug is turned on, it will turn on verbose output.
-hourly
to pull hourly data from NOAA
-weekly
to pull weekly data from NOAA
-exdb

-no_proxy
Force the adapter to use no proxy when connecting to the NOAA web services.
-clean

Sometimes the adapter fails to connect with NOAA or NOAA returns inconsistent data. In these cases, the noaa_conn_reattempts option can be configured to automatically make multiple attempts to connect with the NOAA service. For details, see the preceding configuration section.
