The only difference between them is > a 003 instead of a 000 I just ran a 'notifyme' invocation that verifies that there is currently no #003 grids in the CONDUIT datastream: <as 'ldm'> notifyme -vxl- -f CONDUIT -o 100000 -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu -p "GFS/#003" Apr 28 23:10:57 notifyme[3945] NOTE: Starting Up: localhost: 20080427192417.076 TS_ENDT {{CONDUIT, "GFS/#003"}} Apr 28 23:10:57 notifyme[3945] NOTE: LDM-5 desired product-class: 20080427192417.076 TS_ENDT {{CONDUIT, "GFS/#003"}} Apr 28 23:10:57 notifyme[3945] INFO: Resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 took 0.000315 seconds Apr 28 23:10:57 DEBUG: NOTIFYME(localhost) returns OK Apr 28 23:10:57 notifyme[3945] NOTE: NOTIFYME(localhost): OK ... nothing is returned This means that the upstream host idd.unidata.ucar.edu does not currently have any grid 3 GFS products in its queue. I will continue to monitor this as new model runs are sent. > in both cases the entry in the ldmd.conf is > request CONDUIT "^data/nccf/com/gfs/.*/GFS/.*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu Aside comment: your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf 'request' line can be made much simpler: request CONDUIT "GFS" idd.unidata.ucar.edu Note that this has no relevance for the non-receipt of the grid 3 data. > My understanding according to the information at > www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/index.html > is that for GFS (Global Forecast System) Grid #003 > 1.0 degree resolution, F000-F180 > I should use #003 in the pattern action in pqact.conf. Yes, if '#003' is included in the product ID, then it is a useful pattern to use in a regular expression for product matching/processing. > Would you give me some pointers here. I will continue to monitor the GFS data in CONDUIT to see if the grids you want are available. If they are not, I will need to check to see if they are supposed to be available. More later...
