Hi Randy,

I need to know how you are processing the data.  Presumably, your
NOAAPORT ingest system is inserting products it receives from the
NOAAPORT broadcast and inserting them into an LDM queue.  After this,
it is sent to another host that is doing some processing on the data.
Now the question is what actions have you setup to run?

>How do I retain access to this data.

I must understand your processing pipeline before I can comment.

>Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
