The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

WAE Live can be installed on the same or different Linux device or VM as WAE Design. WAE Live plan files and templates are stored in map archive repositories.
From the WAE Design GUI, you can extract WAE Live.pln plan files and templates from WAE Live and make whatever modifications are necessary. You can then re-insert them as template files into a map archive directory. Another use case for accessing WAE Live is to open plan files containing traffic used in the Forecasting tool.
Note When uploading a template to a map archive, you are overwriting the template that is in that map archive.
– The default WAE Live network name is “default,” and the default map archive name is “default-archive.”
– All other map archive names use the format <network_name>-archive.
Step 1 In the WAE Design GUI, use the File menu to start the process.
Step 2 After opening the dialog box, enter or select the hostname or IP address of the server.
Step 3 Identify how to connect to the server by selecting the appropriate protocol and by entering or selecting the port number (for example, HTTPS 8443).
Step 4 Enter or select the name of the network you are accessing. The name of the default WAE Live network is “default.”
Step 5 Enter the username and password that gives you access to the server. Both are case sensitive. If you do not know the password, contact your system administrator.
Step 6 If saving a template, click OK and stop here. If opening a plan file or template, continue to step 7.
Step 7 Select one of the following options, and then click OK.
On the server, these plan files are stored in a map archive. To find it, go to the directory in which the plan file is stored and then drill down to the specific directory to list contents. The format of this directory structure is as follows.
<map_archive_path>/data/<year>/<month>/<YYMMDD>_UTC
Note that the default map archive path is /opt/cariden/data/mldata/archives/<network_name>-archive
.
Plan files are listed in these map archive directories in the following format.
Example: Using the map archive named acme-archive, you would drill down to the following directory to choose a plan file created on February 23, 2016.
/opt/cariden/data/mldata/archive/acme-archive/data/2016/02/160223_UTC
-rw-r--r-- 1 cariden cariden 115651 Feb 23 02:04 160223_0204_UTC.pln
-rw-r--r-- 1 cariden cariden 115651 Feb 23 02:04 160223_0304_UTC.pln
-rw-r--r-- 1 cariden cariden 115651 Feb 23 02:04 160223_0404_UTC.pln
If selecting a specific plan file and if the operating system’s UTC is different than 0, you must enter that UTC value.
Note If you have access to the WAE Live UI, the plan files are displayed in a configurable time zone. These time zones might not be the same as stored in the map archive. For instance, in the above example, the WAE Live GUI might be displaying this same plan file as February 22, 14:04 with a UTC of -8. Therefore, it is best practice to reference the map archive in the directory structure (not the plan files in WAE Live) to determine specific plan file dates and times to open in WAE Design.
