[Datastream #IJN-200350]: 20060708: EAST and WEST datasets not updating on unidata2

Hi Jerry,

Way cool!  How was Taiwan?  -- I'm jealous :-)

No worries.  I thought I'd ask given the number of times that the FTP
update process for the EAST and WEST datasets has had some sort of problem.
Fred Mosher is actively using both of the datasets, and we are at the
point of doing the same, so I figure that movement to use of the LDM
is timely.

What feedtype are you going to use?  I would suggest SPARE...

I would like to start using the existing queue size of 2 GB.  As soon as
the "switch is flipped", I will monitor the age of the oldest product in
the queue (one of the items included in the uptime logging that is available
in ~ldm/logs/undata2.uptime) to see if the queue needs to be enlarged.  If
it does, I would most likely move from 2 GB to 3 GB to start and then
reevaluate.

OK.

Sounds good.  Please let me know when you are ready to begin testing.


Cheers,

Tom
