Mynul,

OK.  I just installed McIDAS-X/-XCD v2004 and stopped
and restarted the LDM

It is always a good idea to keep up with software updates.
And, yes, there is a possibility that an old version would
start behaving strangely especially for those ADDE datasets
that are being accessed on machines not at St. Cloud State
if/when those machines have been updated to the latest version
of McIDAS.

There is no way to fix network congestion unless you have
control over the networks between you and the upstream
LDM feed host.

On which machine?  I can list out images in the RTIMAGES
dataset as 'mcidas' on cyclone with the 'mcidas' account
setup to ask for RTIMAGE data from cyclone.

If you are talking about the setup on 'meteor', then it
is most likely that you havn't setup the ADDE datasets
on it.  The McIDAS web pages have detailed information
on the steps that should be taken to setup ADDE datasets
in new installations.

The question I would have at this point is why you are
running the LDM on two different machines, and, given
that the ADDE serving of data is setup on cyclone, why
you would want to set it up independently on a second
machine.  Is your intention to migrate from 'cyclone' to
'meteor'?

>Thank you very much for your help.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
