I'm going to preface this with the disclaimer that LDM with EDEX is a little bit different than "vanilla" LDM. There are things such as EdexBridge that are unique to those environments and I'm just not familiar with those. I don't think that's playing a role, at least not yet, but wanted to say it out loud. You can think of the LDM as having two sides: data delivery and data actions. What you're doing with REQUEST, ALLOW, ACCEPT... those are all data delivery. EXEC PQACT is how you invoke data actions, or what happens AFTER the data has been delivered in. So it seems to me that the delivery side is working, but not the actions. As far as I am aware this is still true when using EDEX, nothing will happen to any received products if there are no PQACTs being invoked, that data will just sit in the PQ until it gets cycled out. Note that your upstream LDM doesn't need to take any actions, all that data needs to do is exist in the PQ for the downstream LDM. On the downstream LDM, if your request lines are producing the data you expect in the LDM's PQ but that data does not exist in EDEX, then it sounds like your data is not being acted upon. Since those EXEC lines are still commented out that makes sense, since no actions are being taken. If there is a reason why you need to keep those lines commented I don't know what that would be, but if there isn't then I would try my advice by adding that EXEC line I provided earlier and restart. I will add that this may be where you need to add the "EdexBridge" part, to the EXEC PQACT line more or less how you had it commented. Side note: you can check if your pqact files are syntactically correct by issuing "ldmadmin pqactcheck" though it will not protect you against a badly formed RE pattern. Please let me know if this still isn't making sense, sorry if I'm adding confusion here. -Mike Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: GJS-316993 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with NSF Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
