It should do no harm running these again. re: ADDE server setup at NIU >Can you verify that I didn't munge everything from your end? I just tried to list/load images off of weather3, and it is not working: DATALOC LIST RTIMAGES Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- RTIMAGES WEATHER3.ADMIN.NIU.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory. DATALOC -- done IMGLIST RTIMAGES/GE-IR Image file directory listing for:RTIMAGES/GE-IR IMGLIST: No images satisfy the selection criteria IMGLIST: done IMGLIST failed, RC=2 The same thing holds for weather2: DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES WEATHER2.ADMIN.NIU.EDU Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- RTIMAGES WEATHER2.ADMIN.NIU.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory. DATALOC -- done IMGLIST RTIMAGES/GE-IR Image file directory listing for:RTIMAGES/GE-IR IMGLIST: No images satisfy the selection criteria IMGLIST: done IMGLIST failed, RC=2 So, it looks like something is wrong. re: build speed tests >I *was* ingesting LDM stuff when you did it, correct? Yes. >If not, then I have no clue why it took 6:30. This is not a bad time, just not the best :-) Tom
