>From: Unidata Support <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200508291349.j7TDnujo003962 McIDAS ADDE Hi again Jerry, Since you help previously, I am back asking again ;-) There are three SSEC machines that are hitting the old adde.ucar.edu for data: 128.104.108.111 - pmf_pb.ssec.wisc.edu 128.104.109.119 - popeye.ssec.wisc.edu 128.104.109.55 - mica.ssec.wisc.edu Could you help figure out who is running McIDAS from thse machines so I can get the information about the need to run DATALOC HOST to them? Thanks! Here is the original message I sent out the the Unidata-maintained mcidas-x and ldm-users email lists: Users of the McIDAS ADDE server adde.ucar.edu: We have transitioned the machine known as adde.ucar.edu (aka motherlode.ucar.edu) from Sun Enterprise E420 to SunFire 480 hardware. The machine has also been moved from the NCAR machine room to the Unidata offices at Foothills Lab #4. Because of the relocation of adde.ucar.edu, the IP address has changed from 128.117.15.119 to 128.117.114.119. This change coupled with McIDAS' cache of ADDE server IP addresses in its client routing table requires the following steps be undertaken by sites accessing data from the ADDE server adde.ucar.edu: <login as the user 'mcidas'> cd $MCDATA dataloc.k HOST If you have cron-initiated scripts run from an account other than 'mcidas' that access adde.ucar.edu: <login as the user running the cron-initiated scripts> cd $MCDATA dataloc.k HOST 'DATALOC HOST' will force McIDAS to update its client routing table (pointed at through $MCTABLE_WRITE) cache of IP address for all hosts. Please follow the above procedures as soon as you are able. ADDE access to the old adde.ucar.edu machine (IP address 128.117.15.119) will begin failing at the beginning of the week of November 7. Thanks in advance for your prompt attention in this matter! Please send any questions/comments regarding the above procedure to Unidata User Support <address@hidden>. Thanks again for your help.

The other two machines are from MUG, and I forwarded on your request to update their tables. Jerry
