>1. It fixes the product date-stamp problem that apparently goes back >beyond LDM 6.5.1 (but note, you MIGHT have to fix some things in your >pqact file, as I did, when I upgraded...check the links to the posts I >made yesterday for a full description of the reasoning and how to fix >it). Hmm..I have never had an issue with 6.4.5 with that. >2. Stopping and restarting the LDM after deleting the product queue now >takes a much shorter time to do... Okay, well with my small queue (400MB) it's in the noise. I don't have enough bandwidth to feed anyone and have a NOAAport box feed plus a pared down GFS 1x1 on CONDUIT. >3. More stable (no, really, it is!). Outside of the date problem through >6.6.1, 6.6.2 has been rock solid. I had problems with 6.4X crashing on my >machines. Queue corruptions have been zero for the first time with this >version. I have never had any crashes or queue issues at all, but I am running Solaris not Linux. During Sun's idiocy period back in the early 2000's I had to run Linux for a while and saw those kinds of issues. >4. Improved product throughput and less load on my machines. The latest >versions can handle really high volumes. I am 95% idle most of the time on 4-5 year old machines when I don't have generation scripts going. Of course you are ingesting many times more data than I am. I am sure this would be a help if we had enough bandwidth to receive Level II radar data. >I run this in a production environment where very high levels of stability >is demanded. Although yes, I do install the bleeding edge stuff, I figure >it is more than worth my time to find bugs and swat them before they hit >production as much as possible. I think everyone appreciates your testing efforts! >In short...Gilbert tested...mother approved. :-D LOL! Thanks for the list, I appreciate it very much. I don't think there is a good enough reason for my situation to upgrade and risk trouble, so I'll pass right now.
