>From: Paul Farrall <address@hidden> >Organization: USU >Keywords: 200211141546.gAEFkIL29111 Hi Paul and Rob, I logged onto allegan this weekend and experimented with the ADDE data access information in the 'mcidas' account in an attempt to see if I could get allegan to route other machine's ADDE requests to remote hosts. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in getting this to work. Apparently, McIDAS code does not allow for ADDE requests to be chained: a request for, say, GINIWEST data from one of your lab machines to allegan will only be treated as a request for GINIWEST data as LOCAL-DATA on allegan. Since getting allegan to route ADDE requests did not work (rats!), we will need to think about how requests can be sent to a proxy server which will then route both outgoing and incoming ADDE traffic. This will take some research and likely code development on my part, so I ask for your patience. I wish I could have provided better news...

That's right. I believe that the workstations already point to allegan for some of the ADDE feeds. Rob can confirm.

I enabled the mcidas login on allegan and allowed access for the machine gale.unidata.ucar.edu. I'll send you the passwd directly. Thanks again for all your help.

Tom: thanks for attention to this matter. Such a shame that there is no easy solution (is it not more often the case?). Hopefully the development to use a proxy will not be too onerous - if we can do anything this end please do not hesitate to ask. Merci ..
