[IDD #GVW-386836]: 20220811: Product in wxwire feed issue

Hi Jim,

First, I drove your question into our inquiry tracking system as it
is better answered there.

Yup.

re:

Remember that 'pqact' instances are run from EXEC lines in the LDM
configuration file, AND, more importantly in this case, they act on
a particular LDM queue, not all LDM queues.  Given this, you will
likely need to add an EXEC action for another instance of 'pqact', 
and in that EXEC line, you will need to specify the queue that that
instance of 'pqact' needs to watch/process products out of.

Here is the top of the output of 'man pqact' that shows the '-q' flag
that needs to be specified:
PQACT(1)                                General Commands Manual                 
              PQACT(1)

NAME
       pqact - program to process products in a Unidata LDM product queue

SYNOPSIS
       pqact [-v] [-x] [-l logdest] [-d datadir] [-q pqfname] [-f feedtype] [-p 
pattern] [-i interval]
              [-t timeout] [-o time] [conf_file]
 ...

re:

Undoubtedly because the existing instance of 'pqact' is looking at the
main LDM queue; the one that is defined in the LDM registry.

re:

I can't say if this is _a_ problem.  The initial problem is that you
likely do not have a 'pqact' instance that is looking at the queue into
which WxWire products are being inserted.

re:

Your question makes total sense.  Does my answer ring true for your
setup (I don't recall what the set of 'pqact' EXECs you have setup
in your LDM configuration file)?

Cheers,

Tom
