Hi Rich,

re:

Support-idd was the appropriate place to send this inquiry
(but sending to both did not hurt :).

I put together a .tar.gz file of all but one of the LDM configuration
files we use on motherlode.ucar.edu and placed it in the pub/ldm/config
directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu.

NB: we make no guarantee that the actions provided will work "as is/out
of the box" on your machine.  There are several system configurations
that were made to enable the actions to work the way that they do.

The LDM is distributed with an example pattern-action file, pqact.conf
(gets installed in the ~ldm/etc directory), that illustrates the
pattern-action syntax.  Both GEMPAK and McIDAS contain LDM pattern-actions
files that configure processing for NOAAPort and other datastreams.
Since our setup on motherlode.ucar.edu is very specific to the activities
there, we feel that it would not be a good idea to promote the specifics
of what we do there.

Nonetheless, we take your point: it would be a good idea for there
to be a well documented example for LDM configurations for a TDS
installation.  I will check with the THREDDS guys to see if this is
already available (I did not see it after quickly reviewing the
THREDDS web pages).

Cheers,

Tom
