Hi Hsie,

re: status of stratus as a community server
>"startus.al.noaa.gov" should still serve as a Community ADDE Server.

OK, I am glad to hear this!

I just pointed my McIDAS session at stratus for all of the datasets
I think it should have:

CIMSS
GINICOMP
GINIEAST
GINIWEST
RTGRIDS
RTIMAGES
RTPTSRC
RTNEXRAD
RTWXTEXT
NEXRCOMP

The only ones that did NOT work were RTNEXRAD (NEXRAD Level III
products) and NEXRCOMP (FNEXRAD NEXRAD Level III composites).

I took the liberty of logging onto stratus (again from rainbow) to find
the problem.  I found that the ADDE setup for NEXRCOMP was trying to
get data from /export/data/....  I changed the entries for getting the
NEXRCOMP images from /export/data/...  to /wrk/data6/...  I made these
changes in ~mcidas/solaris/data/LSSERVE.BAT and in
~mcidas/solaris/workdata/RESOLV.SRV.  The latter file is what gets
written by DSSERVE commands like the ones in LSSERVE.BAT.

I also found that the ADDE setup for the RTNEXRAD data was trying to
use the file ~mcidas/solaris/workdata/NNEXRAD.CFG when it should have
been using the file ~mcidas/solaris/workdata/LNEXRAD.CFG.  Like for
NEXRCOMP, I changed the entries for RTNEXRAD in
~mcidas/solaris/data/LSSERVE.BAT and in ~mcidas/solaris/workdata/RESOLV.SRV.

After making the above changes, ADDE access to all of the above
datasets is working again.

Thanks for your quick help on the ADDE serving problem!

Tom
