Hi Brad,

The number of datastream types that the LDM-6 supports is fixed at 31.
Unfortunately, there are no spare feedtypes available, so you will need
adopt a different tactic for making portions of dataflows uniquely
identifiable.
re:
> If we can obtain a unique tag, what is the process?
What you can do is:
- include a field in each Product ID that uniquely identifies
something meaningful for the end-user to filter on. We suggest
that this field be the first one in the Product ID to make
things easier for the end-user(s)
- if your objective is to limit access to one or a small number
of downstreams, then you can craft your ALLOW(s) to specify
the unique field that you include in the Product IDs
The approach of specifying a unique field in the Product ID
is being used by lots of folks including private companies
that are providing data to paying customers. The Antarctic
research community, for instance, uses the concept to segregate
dataflows:

Here 'ANT.AMRC' is used to identify products that originate from the AMRC
program
at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and 'USAP.NCAR' is used to
identify AMPS (WRF with polar physics) model output from the MMM program
in NCAR.
NB: the periods in the above examples are not needed; they were employed
by the creators of the products because they made sense to them. I
personally would have used spaces...
re:
> Thank you,
No worries.
Cheers,
Tom
