Hello, We were just made aware of this bug and are working on a release to fix the issue. In the mean time, you can remove the "ANY" from line 763 like you did. You will also want to update line 219 (NPP/VIIRS Polar Products) to: NOTHER ^(TI[A-Q]...) (KNES) (......) And then run: ldmadmin pqactcheck (to see if the syntax is correct) and then: ldmadmin pqactHUP Sorry for the issues. > >During startup of the latest awips edex software on a local edex server >ldmd fail to start. >The error is >ldmadmin pqactcheck >/awips2/ldm/etc/pqact.conf.priority: has problems: >20240105T185148.280424Z pqact[30058] pqact.c:main:456 NOTE Starting Up {cmd: >"pqact -vl - -q /dev/null /awips2/ldm/etc/pqact.conf.priority"} >20240105T185148.284260Z pqact[30058] palt.c:new_palt_fromStr:374 ERROR Unknown >action "^(Y[YZ]U[D-I]3[3-8]) (KWNS) (..)(..)(..)" at line 763 >20240105T185148.284293Z pqact[30058] palt.c:readPatFile:461 ERROR Error in >configuration-file "/awips2/ldm/etc/pqact.conf.priority" >20240105T185148.284752Z pqact[30058] pqact.c:cleanup:112 NOTE Exiting > I deleted the ANY^I from line 763 and obtained a correct file > I downloaded the source tar.gz and extracted the pqact.conf.priority > file and noted that the ANY^I was in the source file. > Thanks, Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer NSF 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: SZJ-931345 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with NSF Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
