Happy New Year everyone.I am currently struggling a bit trying to get a correct XML-file to use ncml and the aggregation provided there. I have followed the example on http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/NcML.htm but I can't get it to work. I use TDS 3.4. Is there a working demo-server somewhere doing an aggregation, or maybe someone else has got a working xml-file?
My XML-file dones't produce any errors, but there is no link to the aggregated set.
My XML-file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><catalog name="DODS Aggregation Server Catalog MERSEA Class 1 - Arctic" version="1.0.1" xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/thredds/InvCatalog/v1.\0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<service name="TOPAZ" serviceType="OPENDAP" base="/thredds/dodsC" /><dataset name="Best estimate - Arctic" urlPath="mersea-ip-topaz-class1-arctic-be">
<serviceName>TOPAZ</serviceName> <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"> <aggregation dimName="time" type="JoinNew"><scan dateFormatMark="topaz_V2_mersea_arctic_grid1to8_da_class1_b20051102_f#yyyyMMddHHmm" location="/localdata/thredds" suffix=".nc" />
</aggregation> </netcdf> </dataset> </catalog>PS. I am wondering what to send to support and what to send to the list, can someone please explain whitch is for what use?
