I corrected the problem this morning, and data is being saved to disk. The images will be found in subdirectories of ~ldm/data/images/sat. The setup on atm is pretty simple: - pqact.conf actions that kick off the creation of sectors upon receipt of the corresponding band in the UNIWISC datastream - the sector attributes are controlled by ASCII configuration files located in ~ldm/mcidas/data: ricovis.cfg - specifies attributes for VIS (0.65 um) sector ricoir.cfg - specifies attributes for IR (10.7 um) sector ricowv.cfg - specifies attributes for WV ( 6.8 um) sector Right now, in order to create sectors from other bands, one would have to do the following: on atm: - add an appropriate action in pqact.conf - run 'ldmadmin pqactcheck' to make sure that the action had no typos - run 'ldmadmin pqactHUP' to tell pqact to reread its configuration file - create a new '.cfg' template file in ~ldm/mcidas/data that defines the new sector on RICO LDM machine: - add an appropriate processing action in the pqact.conf file on the RICO LDM machine Note that I did not add kickoff of the sector creation in the standard McIDAS routing table action BATCH files. This could be done, of course, but I chose a different route. One last thing. The request regular expression for HDS model data was malformed. I changed it to what I think is wanted, but someone should check to make sure that the new action is OK. Remember that if the ldmd.conf request line is changed, one has to stop and restart the LDM for the change to take effect. Please let me know if you see any problems...
