Since we ingest the entire AWIPS/SBN (aka NOAAPort) broadcast, the
new products should automatically be available in the IDD.  Which
datastream(s) the products will be in, however, is a bit uncertain
since we have not seen the products yet.  If the products are textual,
they should be automatically added to the IDS|DDPLUS datastream.  If,
however, they appear to be binary, they could get added to the HDS
or NGRID datastreams.

Assuming that the following is run on a RAL machine that is receiving
all of the NOAAPort-derived IDD datastreams (e.g., HDS, IDS|DDPLUS,
NGRID, NIMAGE and NEXRAD3), you can determine if the product(s) have
been added on August 14 and which datastream(s) they are in:

<as 'ldm' on a RAL machine that is receiving all NOAAPort-derived datastreams>

notifyme -vl- -f ANY -p '(LIUA00|LVUA98|LJUAOO)'

NB: this will log output to STDOUT.  Since you probably don't want to watch
the output all day, I would recommend the following invocation instead:

<still as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
notifyme -vl logs/ncv.log -f ANY -p '(LIUA00|LVUA98|LJUAOO)'

Let this run all day, and you should see the arrival of any products that
have these three fields in their LDM/IDD Product IDs.

Cheers,

Tom
