[THREDDS #JUG-478150]: Question re NOAAPXCD and THREDDS

Hi Martha,

Sorry for the late reply; I was off skiing yesterday (Thursday is basically the
day I try to get out and ski :-)

re:

OK.  A quick comment is that the most likely error in pattern-action files is
the use of spaces where tabs are required.

A quick look at the pqact.thredds.txt file you attached shows the sort of error
that I alluded to above.  Each action entry you have uses spaces where tabs
are needed.  For example:

HRS     ^[YZ].(A)... KWB. ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*/m(AVN|GFS|SSIAVN|SSIGFS)
        FILE
        
data/pub/native/grid/NCEP/GFS/N_Hemisphere_381km/GFS_N_Hemisphere_381km_(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2_\300.grib1

- the whitespace between HRS and ^[YZ]... must be a tab
- the whitespace before FILE must be a tab
- the whitespace before data/pub/native must be a tab

I have edited your pqact.conf.txt file and attached it (as pqact.conf) to this 
reply.
NB: all I changed was conversion of spaces where tabs were needed.  I did not 
review
or touch the actions themselves.

'pqact' FILE actions will create the output directory structure _IF_ it has 
write
permission for the directory(ies) to be created.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
