The WSI reader and associated API have become obsolete and no longer supported. The newerThe Weather Company Reader replaces it.

To transition from using the old WSI to the new TWC you need to:

  1. Get an updated API key from: “The Weather Company, an IBM Business”

    1. email them at TWCDigitalSupport@us.ibm.com

  2. Confirm all your WSI locations have latitude and longitude values assigned by viewing the location list in the WSI Reader 3.x or greater. See below for details…

  3. Download and install the latest TWC Reader while the WSI reader continues on

  4. Add some test locations in the TWC reader – that won’t affect your existing weather uses

    1. See https://bannisterlake.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ST/pages/1612546079/The+Weather+Company+Reader#Locations for details

  5. Map the TWC API icons to your existing icons in Flow

    1. See below for details…

  6. Confirm data is available and looks good

    1. Test the output in a test show if you can

  7. Switch all existing WSI locations to be updated by the TWC reader

    1. See below for details…

  8. Shut down the WSI reader

    1. it has nothing to do now anyway since we just gave all its locations to TWC

Confirm WSI Locations have Latitude and Longitude

Confirm all your WSI locations have latitude and longitude values assigned by viewing the location list in the WSI Reader 3.x or greater.

Map The TWC Icons to your Icon Set

  1. Using the Weather - Configuration - Codes module

  2. Select the TWC - The Weather Company Data Source

  3. Select your existing Weather Set (assuming you’ll continue to use your existing weather icons)

  4. Assign a Weather Type Icon to each Source Icon Code in the Import Code Grid

Switch WSI Locations to TWC Reader

Use the following MySQL code to easily switch the locations over

SET NAMES 'utf8mb4' COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';

-- look at the data_source table for confimation we are grabbing the correct ID values
SET @WsiAppID = 'FE73EA94-0166-4DCC-B272-2AE3B58CD9F9'
  , @TwcAppID = 'DC8E9FD3-21A0-4403-BC7B-A0F1016BBBF3';
SELECT * FROM `data_source` WHERE `app_guid` = @WsiAppID
UNION
SELECT * FROM `data_source` WHERE `app_guid` = @TwcAppID;

-- get the sourceID values for WSI and TWC readers
SET @WSIID = 0, @TWCID = 0;
SELECT `ID` INTO @WSIID FROM `data_source` WHERE `app_guid` = @WsiAppID;
SELECT `ID` INTO @TWCID FROM `data_source` WHERE `app_guid` = @TwcAppID;
SELECT @WSIID, @TWCID;

-- optional - check for code translations for TWC - should be 48 total (0 - 47)
SELECT `iconCode`, `weatherId`, `shortText` FROM `weather_wsi_codes` WHERE `sourceID` = @TWCID;

/* switch the locations from WSI to TWC reader
update wsi_city 
set sourceID = @TWCID 
WHERE sourceID = @WSIID
;
update weather_city 
set sourceID = @TWCID 
WHERE sourceID = @WSIID
;
