It looks like you did not see the announcement of a change to the CONDUIT datasetream products and naming convention back in August. Here is a recent post to the 'conduit' email list that includes the August announcement: Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 11:33:39 MDT To: address@hidden From: Steve Chiswell <address@hidden> Subject: 20061018: Changes to CONDUIT data stream CONDUIT recipients, At 18Z, the remaining CONDUIT files (NAM, RUC, and GFS) still being inserted using the NWSTG naming convention will be transitioned to the NCEP file names: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/gfs_files.html http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/ruc2_files.html http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/nam_files.html As always, please contact address@hidden should you have any problems with your receipt of these products, -- Steve Chiswell <address@hidden> Unidata ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CONDUIT Users, On August 9, additional data sets were added to the CONDUIT data stream originating from the new top level LDM server which accesses data sets using the ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov file naming. On September 27 and October 17, the remaining data sets on CONDUIT will be transitioned to the new LDM server as described below. The migration of these data sets to the new server provides additional redundancy in the hardware used to insert the products, as well as relieving dependencies on the AFS file system. On September 27, the ENSEMBLE data sets being delivered by CONDUIT will transition from the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov files to the GRIB2 files found under: ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gens/prod/gefs.YYYYMMDD/HH/pgrb2a/ The global ensembles currently comprise 10 members. In the near future, NCEP will increase the number of members to 14, as well as provide additional parameters. Sample LDM patterns for ensemble data can be found at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/ensemble_files.html#GRIB2 On October 17, the remaining NAM, RUC and GFS files already distributed by CONDUIT will change origination to the NCEP file names. Please send any questions you may have to address@hidden. > and the one to save in pqact.conf: > CONDUIT > > ^/afs/.nwstg.nws.noaa.gov/ftp/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.gfs_CY.(..)/RD.(........)/PT.grid_DF.gr1/fh.0(...)_tl.press_gr.onedeg > FILE data/conduit/gfs.\2/gblav.t\1z.pgrbf\3 You will see from URL for GFS data in Chiz's message: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/gfs_files.html that you will need to change both your ldmd.conf request line(s) and your pqact.conf processing line(s). I just looked and see that you are not subscribed to the conduit email list; this is why you did not know about the change. I have taken the liberty to subscribe you to the conduit list. As a reminder, you can always use the LDM 'notifyme' facility to see what your upstream feed site is receiving for any/all datastreams. For instance, you could use: <as 'ldm'> notifyme -vxl- -f CONDUIT -o 10000 -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu This will list out the CONDUIT data that our IDD relay cluster is receiving. Also, you can use the '-p <pattern>' flag on notifyme to test out regular expression patterns for use in ldmd.conf request lines and pqact.conf action lines. Given the change of names in the CONDUIT datastream, you should start off trying '-p prog/gfs.*pgrb[^2]' pattern in your notifyme command: notifyme -vxl- -f CONDUIT -o 10000 -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu -p "prod/gfs.*pgrb[^2]" (note the quotes around the pattern!) As soon as you create the pattern that gives you exactly what you want, use it in your ldmd.conf request line(s). Please remember that you will also need to update your pqact.conf action(s).
