Subject: Re: 20051117: NetCDF decoder pqact entries
Robb,
The tip on searching for the process ID in the log file was excellent.
It does not show up on any recent log files, but it does show up on the
file from when the ldm was restarted:
ldmd.log.5:Nov 18 20:20:46 foehn pqact[7584] NOTE: Starting Up
ldmd.log.5:Nov 18 20:20:46 foehn pqact[7584] NOTE: Configuration-file
"etc/pqact.netcdf" has no entries. You should probably not start this
program instead.
I have attached the ldmd.conf and the pqact.netcdf files to provide some
help. It appears to me that there are entries in pqact.netcdf, and that
it is properly called from ldmd.conf. Obviously something is not write.
To verify that the spelling jives, I did a listing of the etc directory:
[ldm@foehn etc]$ ls -l
total 344
drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm met-apps 4096 Apr 25 2005 6.1.0

Please let me know as to the other suggestions as to where I should look
for problems.

Robb,
Thank you for the NetCDF decoder pqact entries. I am currently not
producing any of the output files.
Information:
-LDM 6.4.3 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.4
-installed:
netcdf-3.6.0-p1
netcdf-perl-1.2.3
udunits-1.12.4
decoders-4.0.0
-I placed the pqact entries into a separate pqact file named
pqact.netcdf. This file is attached.
-The pqact.netcdf file is then called from ldmd.conf with the following:
exec "pqact etc/pqact.netcdf"
-When I do a process listing I see:
ldm 7584 7580 0 Nov18 ? 00:12:38 pqact etc/pqact.netcdf
Are there any log files or other places where I can start looking to
find out why none of the netcdf files are being produced?
Mark,
the first place to look is the ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file, the pqact will
send it errors to it. one can track the error by looking at the PID of the
pqact etc/pqact.netcdf process.
also check the pqact.netcdf that there are tabs not spaces between entry
parts because spaces could be part of pattern action. ie.
DDS|IDS<tab here>^S(A....|P....|XUS8.) .... ([0-3][0-9])
<tab here>PIPE<tab here>decoders/metar2nc.new1
<tab here>etc/metar.cdl.new1
<tab here>data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar
make sure all the decoder table files and cdl files are in the ~ldm/etc
directory. they are located in the ~/etc directory in the build location.
from the ldm home directory, run the decoder from command line, ie
% decoders/metar2nc.new1 etc/metar.cdl.new1
data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar < <raw data file>
above is on one line
robb...
Thanks

Subject: NetCDF decoder pqact entries

Keywords: 200511172016.jAHKGG7s010277
I am currently running LDM 6.4.3. I have also intalled GEMPAK 5.8.3a.
I used the gen_pqact.csh script to create a pqact file to create the
GEMPAK files. All appears to be working very well with that.
I have recently installed the NetCDF Decoders 4.0.0 (along with the
necessary netCDF, UDUNITS, and Perl-netCDF packages. I would now like
to create a pqact file/entries for the netCDF files. I have discovered
the file gribtonc.entries which appears to have the necessary entries
for the GRIB files. Is this correct? Other than making changes for the
local filesystem, is there anything else that I need to do to implement
these pqact entries? Are there any similar sample entries for the
non-GRIB products?
Mark,
the documentation was sent out with the release, maybe i should include it
some where on the web page. i'll attach the list of pqact actions for
both the text bulletions and the model files.
robb...
If there is a document already present to answer these questions, feel
free to point me that direction. I was not able to find any in my search.
Thanks
Mark

###############################################################################
#
# The REQUEST and ACCEPT entries both have product-ID patterns that are regular
# expressions (RE-s). It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that these patterns not have a
# ".*" prefix because: 1) such a prefix accomplishes nothing (i.e., the set of
# possible matches is unaltered by the prefix); and 2) such a prefix causes the
# RE to take MUCH, MUCH LONGER TO EXECUTE (by 3 orders of magnitude in many
# cases). Therefore, DO NOT USE RE-s like
#
# ".*UFPBA"
#
# Instead, simply use
#
# "UFPBA"
#
# The regex(1) utility of this package can be used to examine the efficiency
