Becky, Just summarizing our phone conversation "for the record". In short, try to handle this at the file system level via scripts, or install a TDS. Best, Unidata IDV Support > Hello, > > We have IDV installed on a workstation for a customer, and we are rsyncing > wrf model output to this workstation. We have the model output organized > by domain, then by time of the model run. For example, the 'd02' directory > has these latest cycles: > 2014030418 > 2014030506 > 2014030512 > > and the contents of the 2014030512 directory has files named > wrf_d02_201403050600.grb > wrf_d02_201403050700.grb > wrf_d02_201403050800.grb > on up through > wrf_d02_201403081200.grb > (ie, final analysis files plus a 72-hour forecast). > > We are wondering if it is possible to set up a bundle that would point to > the files in the latest-available cycle (rather than having the user have > to browse-and-choose the latest-available model output). > > For example, the next cycle 2014030518 will appear and will be populated > with files that start with wrf_d02_201403051200.grb and go through > wrf_d02_201403081800.grb (in other words, the files within the next cycle > directory will have new names, but since we are right now looking at two > adjacent cycles, most of the file names will be the same, but if a user > came back in a few days and opened up this hypothetical bundle in IDV, > then there would be all new names of files). > > We were thinking of updating a softlink to point to the latest directory > (in this case, 2014030512) and having the bundle look for data under the > softlink, but as mentioned above, the file names will also update. > > Given the above description, is it possible for a bundle to be configurred > to always go to the latest available data (and/or, would you suggest a > directory structure where this might work?) > > Thank you, > > Becky Ruttenberg > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DJK-649977 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
