There are substantial differences between NWS 14.2.1 and Unidata 14.2.1, but I believe that a NWS 14.2.1 client can connect to a Unidata 14.2.1 server, though I would expect errors when D2D and NCP try to build a resource inventory. After 14.2.1, Raytheon changed the thrift serialization connection between client and server, preventing a client newer than 14.2.1 from connecting to a 14.2.1 (or older) server. So if you want to connect to the EDEX Azure server, you should use 14.2.1, and if you want a smooth user experience, connect with Unidata 14.2.1. > 2.

You can send it to my address as address@hidden. Can you remind me what the data and graph are for?
