Hi Sohail, re: > I am trying to connect to the OPEN ARCHIVE and GEOARC using DATALOC > command. But i am unable to fetch the FY2G dataset. Did you register with the SSEC Data Center to get access to their Data Center ADDE server(s)? If you did not, you will not be able to access their ADDE server(s). re: > I want to do some > testing with the FY2G satellite cyclone images. > > 1. Can you please look into the error i found? > 2. Why i am unable to fetch the FY2G imagery or any group in the > OPENARCHIVE and GEOARC ADDE servers. > 3. Is there anything wrong with the DATALOC command or dataset? > > Screenshots are attached. > > http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/datacenter/unidata_openarc_nongoes.html > http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/datacenter/standard_nongoes.html#FY-2G The message: DSINFO: Accounting data was not valid says that you did not LOGON (run the LOGON command) to setup the needed accounting information. It further hints that you have not registered with the SSEC Data Center to get access to their ADDE servers as that registration would have included the accounting information that you need to run the LOGON command. Reminder: I sent you the URL for the Unidata web page that describes how to register with the SSEC Data Center.
