SBS-Populate is re-born and running

[Anmer]

Maybe it's just me, but none of the hex codes entered into SBS-1 Populate return any data from the Dutchradar server?

[phmlr]

Yes i have removed every row, database has now 4265 rows (Only Dutch aircraft). 
I'm creating some scripts for different kind of solutions, if everything is working the database will be loaded again with a big amount of data.
Will also share a page where people can search and upload/date single aircraft.

Thanks for the update.

Hi,

Thanks for trying to get this program up and running once more.

I have been away from the hobby for a while, since the demise of GAS and my database getting corrupt, its been a right pain in the backside updating entries.

Do you know when this will be working again??

Cheers

Hi Andy,

If you're interested, I could run in an update to your SQB.  It will not touch your logs and I can ensure any particular fields you might want to protect are also not updated e.g. OperatorFlagCode field if you have manually modified entries.

pm me your email address if you'd like to give it a go.

Thanks for the offer, but that .SQB file is long in the bin.

I used the file that was on my laptop (it was about a year old) and im just updating that as and when required.

The updates are getting less and less now, but would be nice to have GAS (or the new dutch one) back up and running.

i miss active display!!!!!

Hello there, was just wondering if sbs populate is working correctly? reason i ask is mine has not been populating any planes for well over a month now. It was all working fine when it came back alive last year but all of a sudden a few month ago it just stopped updating codes. ive made sure the database is located to the virtual store but as i had not changed anything im sure it wasnt something i had done.

Thanks

Hello there, was just wondering if sbs populate is working correctly?

The application works but the remote server doesn't have any data.  Consequently the app can't populate a local sqb file.

See the earlier post in this thread.

When I checked yesterday there was still no data on the server.

SBS-1 Populate is like a car without fuel!

ah thanks for the info. strangely when i ran it all day yesterday it looked like it was working again and had actually populated about 13 codes but today its just come up with some error. guess just hope it will eventually get fixed sometime.

many thanks

Just checked and there still doesn't appear to be any data on the Dutchradar.nl server.

Please Note.

If you're using SBS-1 Populate be aware that if you run Populate, Auto Populate, Re Populate or Flag Populate, it may appear to be "working".  But what you usually see is the data you already have in your local Basestation.sqb file.  Most likely it's not data retrieved from the Dutchradar.nl server's database.  So the app "works" but more often than not there's no data available from the server to update records in your sqb file.

SBS-1 Populate will first attempt to retrieve data from the server but if there's none available it will retrieve it from the sqb file.

To demonstrate this, wait until your receiver picks up a new aircraft.  When it does, make a note of the hex code and select the Single Records tab and enter the code.  Then click "GAS Load".

SBS-1 Populate will try and retrieve the data from the server and will show a message that data has been retrieved.  But more often than not you won't see any data being populated as there's none to retrieve.

There is some data on the server but not much.  All my recent attempts to populate a Single Record have failed.

Perhaps we can get a status update from Dutchradar.nl?

Yes, the database is filled with around 28K of rows but will have some errors/wrong info.
There are multiple things on my to-do list which have priority for now. 

For the database i have created an area on my website where you can search and update the database, and yes i like clean html/css code instead of crappy smooth making scripts.
This "website" is still in progress, but you can update the database already.
The updates will go to a sub database to be checked, if everything is correct i need to run a manual script to move it to the main DB.
Later there will be an option for database administrators to send it to the main DB.

Thank you for the update.

To put the 28k rows into perspective, s92driver's Populated SQB file has 470k of aircraft rows.  So SBS-1 Populate is accessing around 6% of available data.

There are multiple things on my to-do list which have priority for now. 

I offered to help but we didn't get very far!

I'm not going to use s92driver's Populated SQB/Planebase, because the DB is not used the correct fields like operator code.. (the error's)
The database will not only usable for Basestation/VRS databases.

The most things on my list are private things and when i got time i can work on the website, when this is completed i will give you the database administrator rights.

28K is not much, but everyone can send updates .

I wan't suggesting you use this database and understand your reasons for not doing so.  I was only trying to show how many aircraft records exist in other databases.
