News Wire Profiler Settings

Number of UDP messages transmitted per second to the NWP.

To adjust, calculate the value prior to changing it: take the number of reflectors in use and add 1. Take that sum and multiply it by the number of wire stories received per second at peak. Enter that total in as the value.

Allow support for non-English feeds. Port 10517 may be automatically used in addition to 10512 for UDP datagrams. Make sure this setting is the same for both the client's ENPS.INI and in the \NWP\NWP.INI on the ENPS WORK drive.

Determines whether the NWP sends UDP broadcast messages to the local subnet. This option should be enabled to ensure clients receive Rundown and wire updates properly.

Determines whether the NWP can ingest wires in XLS format.

For diagnostic purposes, you can configure the NWP to re-ingest previously captured data from a text file. Open a wire, clear the Active checkbox, and press Ctrl + T.

See Working with XSLT files for more information about XLS in ENPS.

Semi-colon delimited list of category codes to discard.

Specifies how many of the most-recent incoming wires will be checked for duplicates. Duplicates are defined as stories which have identical slugs and the same text after the wire header. Any duplicates identified within the threshold will be discarded (only the first story received is retained).

Number of minutes the NWP polls FTP wire files.

Number of minutes the NWP polls FTP wire files.

Maximum packet size in characters for UDP messages when Unicode is enabled.

Maximum number of wire story headers stored in each cached-header file (i.e., d_all_ext).

Maximum number of wires supported on this server.

ID number for the wire programming tables.

How often to check serial ports for updated information, in milliseconds.

Semicolon-delimited list of category codes for which you want wire stories with "urgent" priority to appear as non-urgent stories.

Port to which UDP datagrams are sent in Broadcast mode.

Allows ingestion of RSS feeds as a wire. Enabling will add a new RSS option under the File > New Wire menu.

Unicode formatting. If this option is enabled you also need to change MaxSocketPacket to 4096 (Standard Windows default).

Preview wires that contain Unicode characters beyond &h58F in the News Wire Profiler window.

This setting must be enabled in both the NOM and NWP configuration settings.

Number of minutes before the NWP restarts the NNTP process if it stops.

It is recommended that you set this value to 10 then change it as needed.

Number of hours before wires are removed from the server.

The NWP uses UDP broadcast to send dynamic updates to the webservice. You may need to add the address of individual ENPS servers, or the broadcast address of subnets housing ENPS servers, if your users need to see wire updates when logged into webservices other than their home server. This may include your mobile servers.

To prevent message duplication only one reflector should be active on a given subnet.

Each Reflector IP address should be entered on its own line.

Wire provider codes.

For example:

• APX=AP Express

• APD=AP Datafeature

• APJ=AP-Dow Jones

Number of hours to save wire copy.

File extensions that may be sent via FTP.

Only files with extensions will be downloaded. Files without extensions will not be downloaded by the FTP.
