Depending on the type of licence you hold you can request support and changes as follow:
- Maximum charge customers can contact Data Services (Data.Services@ecmwf.int) for all changes (Data or Network)
- Standard customers must contact their licensor to request a change. If ECMWF is your licensor please contact Data Services. A fee maybe applied.
Contact ECMWF
Change requests must be centralised on the user side (a designated technical point) and send to Data.Services@ecmwf.int. If several people need to be able to request changes or be informed in case of services disruption, we suggest that a group email address is used (eg: ecmwf-contact@your_company.com).
When requesting a change please specify clearly:
- Description of the change
- Dataset, parameters, steps, levels, etc. See our Real-time catalogue for available products
- Your three letter Destination code (uniquely identifying your data dissemination)
- Desired date of operational implementation. Please note that we cannot always guarantee that we will be able to implement the changes on the specified date. Confirmation of the implementation date will be sent prior to the change.
Changes might cause disruption to your services. We normally offer to test the changes before implementation.
