HiI want to upgrade our current system based on thredds 2.0b and AggServer to the current thredds. My testsetup is running with thredds.war v3.1.Do I still have to install AggServer to get its functionality or is it integrated in thredds? If yes, can I still use the same xml-files? If no, what do I have to change in my xmls to use this functionality without AggServer?
Bjørge Solli,There is no AGG server in the current release of THREDDS 3.*, you need to wait for a few weeks for the next release of the THREDDS data server which includes AGG server, so you don't need to install another AGG server. The new AGG server is totally new designed and will not be compatible with old config file. The good new is the new AGG server is very easy to config, and it will come with a completed document.
