Hi Mike, Over the weekend I tested the code changes to pull the sequence number out of the PDH from the NOAAPORT broadcast. All appears to be functioning correctly. I also made a change such that if the environment variable NOSEQNUM is set, the sequence numbers remain static at 999. This should make it easier to transition all the top level nodes to the new software with the minimum number of duplicate products produced. Please let me know when you intend to do this so I can make the change on SSEC's system. You only need to update the executable file 'inge' in /opt/nport/bin. Stop the ingestor before loading the new file. If you want static sequence numbers, edit the file /etc/init.d/ingcntl in the 'start' section and export the env variable NOSEQNUM=yes. Then restart the ingestor. To get sequence numbers again, remove the line that exports NOSEQNUM and restart the ingestor. The new inge executable can be obtained via anonymous ftp at gold.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/unidata/inge > Also, did the > differences in the products received (between the systems here) give > you enough information to determine what is happening? Let me know if > you want me to run another test... Is the exceptions file (/opt/nport/exceptions) identical between the two systems? If not, that may account for the differences. If they are the same, could you run another diff. -Chad -- Chad W.
