Hi Pete, Could you either also send the header information of the file that worked, or attach the original file itself? The distribution file (redbook.xml) compares it's regular expression against the file header information, not the filename. Looking at what you sent from a few emails back (at the redbook-2.xml and pyaa98.bin) those should produce a match. You must make sure you have overridden the "redbook.xml" file in the distribution directory and then you must either restart EDEX or **wait** until the top of the next minute. Is it possible EDEX wasn't restarted or waited quite long enough between making that change and adding the pyaa file? I suppose it is also possible that one of the files is in a slightly different format than the other, and so EDEX does not know how to process it. Do you have any entry in the following log: /awips2/edex/logs/edex-ingest-unrecognized-files-20200923.log To answer your questions: -It's possible if one file is in a format that the EDEX decoder doesn't recognize then it could fail to process one data set but not the other. -If the data is processed **correctly** you should see an entry in /awips2/edex/logs/edex-ingest-[date].log and you **may** see an entry in the "unrecognized" log file if it **does not** decode properly. Let me know if that helps. --Shay Carter AWIPS Software Engineer UCAR - Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RXM-953481 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
