Narrative:
The duc VOR and DME was NOTAM'ed OTS via NOTAM 12/002 from 1200 (0600 local) to 2200 (1600 local) on december xx; 2008. The erids system for the appropriate sectors did not post the NOTAM and thus the sectors were unaware of this outage until after 1300 (0700 local); when a front line manager finally posted the NOTAM on several sector status boards. This shows continuing issues with ensuring correct distribution of NOTAM data via the erids system. The system is also constantly having items removed as we locate and complain about outdated data and information. We cannot even get current scanned sectional maps.

Title: ZFW CONTROLLER DESCRIBED A FAILURE OF THE ENROUTE INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (ERIDS) TO PROVIDE CURRENT NOTAM INFORMATION AS REQUIRED.
Narrative: THE DUC VOR AND DME WAS NOTAM'ED OTS VIA NOTAM 12/002 FROM 1200 (0600 LOCAL) TO 2200 (1600 LOCAL) ON DECEMBER XX; 2008. THE ERIDS SYSTEM FOR THE APPROPRIATE SECTORS DID NOT POST THE NOTAM AND THUS THE SECTORS WERE UNAWARE OF THIS OUTAGE UNTIL AFTER 1300 (0700 LOCAL); WHEN A FRONT LINE MANAGER FINALLY POSTED THE NOTAM ON SEVERAL SECTOR STATUS BOARDS. THIS SHOWS CONTINUING ISSUES WITH ENSURING CORRECT DISTRIBUTION OF NOTAM DATA VIA THE ERIDS SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM IS ALSO CONSTANTLY HAVING ITEMS REMOVED AS WE LOCATE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OUTDATED DATA AND INFORMATION. WE CANNOT EVEN GET CURRENT SCANNED SECTIONAL MAPS.
