That data will only be removed from the queue when it is >necessary to insert more items into the queue. Am I correct? You are correct. This allows a downstream site to connect to the server and request data that is as old as the age of the oldest product in the queue. Of course, the downstream site can specify how old the data to be sent is, so it is not necessary that they get all of the old data. In fact, the standard configuration for a downstream LDM node is to request the last one hour of data from the upstream server. >Thanks, No worries. Tom --
