Re: 20010406: trouble with rpc.ldmd 5.1.2 on HPUX 10.20

Hi Anne,

Recreating the queue was what I needed to do.

Sorry, I didn't send the ldmd logs. They were uninformative--generally a
single line:

Apr 03 00:49:44 inisas02 rpc.ldmd[7728]: Starting Up (built: Aug 24 2000
13:01:21)

May I suggest you update the last section of the (otherwise excellent)
binary installation instructions to say something like:

---------------------------

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmBinaryInstallList.html

=== For an existing LDM installation: ===

Upgrading to LDM 5.1.X from an earlier version requires a new queue
to be made because the queue algorithms are different.

. Delete the old queue
% rm ~ldm/ldm.pq

. Create the new queue
% ldmadmin mkqueue

. Start the LDM
% ldmadmin start

At this point, the LDM should be running with the new release and
the previous configuration.

-------------------------

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Good idea.  We do have this information in the release notes for the different versions.  (See unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/announce/announce-5.1.2.html.)  But people would not know about them if they weren't following the announcements at the time.   It would be a good idea to put in the installation instructions that people should go read the release notes.

We are planning an overhaul of the LDM web pages.  I will put this on the list.

Hope you enjoy our new, improved product queue algorithms!  And, don't forget that you don't need pqexpire anymore - we rcommend not using it.   See the release notes.

Anne
