>From: Unidata Support <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200401052323.i05NNbp2019777 McIDAS-X ldm-mcidas Gilbert, I logged onto weather3 to investigate why your ADDE serving of imagery was no longer working. What I found was that you used the DSSERVE.BAT file as your new LSSERVE.BAT file, but you are saving images using the McIDAS routing table approach, not directory hierarchy. Also, you did not merge in mods made in the old LSSERVE.BAT file with your new copy. I corrected the problem by doing the following: <login as 'mcidas'> cd data mv LSSERVE.BAT LSSERVE.BAT.bad cp DSSERVEOLD.BAT LSSERVE.BAT <edit LSSERVE.BAT and merge in changes made in LSSERVE.BAT.bak> cd ~mcidas/workdata batch.k LSSERVE.BAT Now, I can access the imagery on weather3: DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES WEATHER3.ADMIN.NIU.EDU 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 Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Band(s) sensor Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ------------ 7 G-12 IMG 5 JAN 04005 23:15:00 23 71 4 IMGLIST: done So, if you made the same changes to weather2 and weather, you need to undo them by following the steps above.
