XINA Struct Export

The XINA Struct Export command line utility processes archive files for a specified time range to produce data products for XINA's Export Tasks. There are 2 suppported archive file formats: xbin and xpf. If the archive file is in the xpf format, processing is delegated to a mission specific tool. See the Struct Extract Interface that describes the interface the tool must implement. Available data products include:

  • Full resolution mnemonic data with a configurable format
  • Mnemonic data statistics
  • Configurable plots of data
  • Limit Report
  • Events
  • Log file

Arguments

Name Req Description Default
cache Cache directory path. Used for any persistent caching across tasks for optimization purposes.
cancellation Path to the cancellation file for detecting cancel requests.
conf File path to the JSON config containing the export parameters.
env File path to the JSON environment file which defines environment parameters such as project specific paths.
extract Overrides the path provided in the environment file to the struct_extract app. Only used if the archive format is xpf.
help Print available options.
host XINA Tunnel host. "localhost"
port XINA Tunnel port. 41746
import Import directory path. Files that need to be imported will be placed here. struct_export is responsbile for generating the corresponding import action file but xina-run will perform the actual importing.
log File path that log events will be written to.
out Ouptut directory path. Files placed here will be uploaded and accessible directly from the Task interface (e.g. notifications panel).
pkt_models Models to use packet time by default. [TBD Remove]
plot Overrides the path provided in the environment file to the app that generates plot PDFs.
post Post directory path (for post-import outputs) e.g. uploading log files to the Task record.
python Overrides the path to the Python executable used by the plot app provided in the environment file.
task File path to the JSON file containing info about the Task.
temp Temp directory path for storing temporary files during execution. For example, zipped archives are unzipped to this directory for processing.

conf

The below table describes the available fields in the conf JSON file and is used to control how data should be exported.

Name Type Req Description Default
model utf8text Path of model to export data from e.g. moma.fm
start instant(us) Start time of data to export. May be provided as a Unix timestamp in microseconds (e.g. 1738781947000000) or an ISO 8601 formatted string (e.g. 2024-06-12T00:00:00Z).
end instant(us) End time of data to export. May be provided as a Unix timestamp in microseconds (e.g. 1738781947000000) or an ISO 8601 formatted string (e.g. 2024-06-12T00:00:00Z).
ueid UUID Event UUID of interval if the export was requested for an interval. The event's start and end time will be used instead of start and end.
disable_filter boolean If true, does not apply the filters defined in data_conf. This is useful if you want to export an existing profile that has filters, but don't want to apply the filters. false
copy boolean If true, the zip file will be uploaded and available from the Task UI. false
label utf8text The text that will be used to name the files and final zip file. The format will be like 2024_06_12_00_00_00_2024_06_12_00_20_00_profile_label
profile utf8text The name of the Profile if the export was generated from one. If provided, then the Profile's plot_conf and data_conf will be used.
auto_conf struct_auto_conf The struct_auto_conf that triggered the export. Only provided if the export was auto generated.
plot_conf struct_plot_conf The plot configuration used to generate the plot PDF. See plot format. An empty object i.e. {} can be provided to generate the default plot configuration. If not provided, then plots will not be generated. One mnemonic per plot, one plot per page, sorted by mn_id in ascending order.
data_conf struct_data_conf See struct_data_conf
multi boolean [TBD REMOVE - Not currently supported] Has extract process all archives at once. This was added for performance reasons since loading the mnem def is slow.

Example conf:

Note: The plot_conf was truncated for brevity.

This example performs an export with fields provided directly in the conf object.

This example performs an export for an existing Profile Definition. The data_conf and plot_conf objects will be retrieved from the OPS_FLT_OCI_SDS profile.
