Changelog

Added new functionality for ownership reports where it will now display the Respodent's name.

Added new functionality in Broadcast Actions to display a message when the application had previous Informal Objections or Petitions to Deny filed against it.  Previously, this functionality only worked for CDBS filed applications but now supports LMS filed pleadings.  Clicking on the red "Prev Objection" link will direct to an REC page displaying the pleading history of the application. 

 

Changed the source of engineering data from ENAC table to eLMS application, fmeng and facility tables. Fixes bug that some application IDs could not be retrieved.

10/06/21 8:51AM ET - Empty LMS file received from FCC today.  Some tools are not displaying correctly.  

 

ISSUE:

Some AM stations were not appearing in the FCCdata AM dialscape for US facilities.  (Dialscape is the list of stations on FM, AM and TV after the community name is entered in FCCdata.)

CAUSE:

Issue:

FCCdata was not displaying current records for FCC Amateur Radio Service licensees.

Cause:

FCC changed URL to obtain raw data from ULS.

Resolution:

Modified daily scripts to pick up raw data from current FCC URL.

On 9/25, performed a full refresh of the Amateur Radio Service database tables to bring the system to current. 

Issue:

Users receiving "403 Forbidden" messages when trying to obtain information from various REC services.

Cause:

Problem traced to FCC legacy HAAT (height above average terrain) tool.

Resolution:

Modified internal coding to retrieve this data.

 

FCCdata: 

US/FCC - Installed fix in fccdata that prevented new FM facilities (such as boosters, Auction 109 and eventually NCE Window) from displaying on dialscape. 

US/FCC - Installed some basic functionality on TV records to support ATSC3.  ATSC3 license modification records will now show that a station is broadcasting in ATSC3 either on that facility or as a simulcast on another facility.  Dialscape now shows whether a station has ATSC3 (either on that specific facility or as a simulcast on another facility).

Fixed issue in eLMS ALTC parser where phone numbers for parties to the application were not being parsed correctly. 

Reparsing all LMS ALTC applications to correct.

Added support for new broadcast incubator question on ALTC applications. 

New field: altc_details/t_incubator  varchar(1);

Fixed a query to LMS tables in ALTC to look up country names.

 

Fixed retriever for antenna structure registration numbers, ship and coast stations (in order to list maritime reserved call signs) due to previous FCC URL change.

8/21

Adding eLMS support for the 2021 NCE Filing Window.  

Built new parser for new FCC New NCE FM CP application form display layout.

Added new database fields to legal and point_system eLMS tables.  Updated schema.

Added new application types "CPE" (New NCE FM CP) and "CPEA" (New NCE FM CP Amendment).  These new application types will drive the retrieval of the New NCE application form (as opposed to the regular FM CP) in LMS.

8/17/2021 - 09:28AM ET

Ticket opened - Original CP Long Form applications in Auction 109 are not being parsed correctly.  Channel number is not being picked up causing station data and contour maps to display incorrectly.  ETU expected by later today.

8/17/2021 - 10:40AM ET

Issues resolved - close ticket.

ISSUE

fixed a bug in FCCdata in the broadcast data header that was not displaying licensee name when the licensee is an individual and the name uses the first, middle and last name fields in the LMS raw data.

Since Thursday, August 5, 2021, the FCC has had issues with the LMS system causing problems with being able to access applications and filing.  Application filing attempts are logging out users and application retrievals are receiving 502 bad gateway errors.  

FCC staff is aware of this issue and has referred to their contractors to resolve.

Database update for Mexico.  We are aware of some missing facilities.  We will look into those.

Manual update to Japan FM broadcast data.

 

On weekends, FCC.today now shows FCC actions from previous week.  Actions will not appear until after the LMS Saturday raw data update completes.  CDBS weekend action summary runs earlier in the day. On Saturday mornings, seeing only CDBS actions in FCC.today is normal expected behavior.
