Donald, No. Both the registry parameter and the FILE paths specify the "data" directory. Consequently, the output file will have "data/data" in its pathname. I recommend setting the registry parameter to "/opt/ldm/var" via the command "regutil -s /opt/ldm/var /pqact/datadir-path". This way, the "data/" component of the FILE entries will reference the "data/" subdirectory. After making the change, you'll have to restart your LDM or execute the command "ldmadmin pqactHUP". > It is currently set as follows: > > [ldm@castor ~]$ regutil /pqact/datadir-path > /opt/ldm/var/data > > Isn't this correct for my configuration? > > FWIW... my pqact.conf file looks as follows: > > EXP (^rtstats.*) > FILE -close data/archive/%Y%m%d-%H/\1 > CRAFT > ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9][0-5][0-9])([0-9][0-9]) > FILE data/gempak/nexrad/craft/\1/\1_\2_\3 > CONDUIT ^data/nccf/com/(.*) !(.*)! > FILE data/conduit/\1 > CONDUIT ^.status\.(.*) [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] > FILE -close data/conduit/status/\1 > > --Don Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: FDB-239245 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
