Re: thredds like dods server

Hi Fabrizio,

Yuan forwarded your email with the CatalogGen input and output files to me.
Looks like there are two metadata elements in your input file that CatalogGen would try to expand. The one where you try to crawl your OPeNDAP server (http://192.107.66.16:8080/thredds/content/dodsC/Dati/subdir/) is failing because CatalogGen expects responses like those returned by the C++ OPeNDAP servers not the thredds/dodsC/ server.
I'm not sure what is happening with the catalogGen that crawls a local directory. It doesn't seem to expand into anything which leads me to believe that the directory exists but it isn't finding anything in the directory that match the filter. Try removing the datasetFilter and datasetNamer elements and see what you get. 

Hope that helps,

Ethan

</catalog> notes: 

We have testing with only few .nc files and
 the aggregation works !!
We have read in the mailing list that aggregation
can,t work....
In the input file for cataloggen the 'static' part  of
dataset tag is copied in the output file, but we don't
found this feature in the documentation.
We are testing functionalities and what's behaviour expected for our project and also to contribute for 
your better documentation, if you want.
Thanks for your support and answer!
Best regards
