Mike, Our DVB-S test noaaport ingest system was restarted yesterday which allowed some products from the current nwstg channel with new /m metatags in the HDS data stream. I have restored the system and the tags should be as previous. Now, since the subject has been brought up... At present, the ETA products in the HDS data stream have a /mETA string appended to the LDM product header. This will be changing to /mNAM. The former AVN products (now called GFS) have been tagged /mAVN and /mSSIAVN. These will change to /mGFS and /mSSIGFS. We will announce a time when these headers will change, which will be implemented at all the ingest locations for HDS within the IDD. In the mean time, if you currently have patterns with /mETA, you can update these to /m(ETA|NAM) to work under either convention. Similarly, /m(AVN|SSIAVN) can be updated to /m(AVN|SSIAVN|GFS|SSIGFS). Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support On Tue, 2004-12-28 at 11:32, Mike Voss wrote: > Has the HDS data feed has changed recently.
