How to Ingest and Display Text Products into GEMPAK
Setting up your GEMPAK LDM configuration files
- The GEMPAK distribution includes a template script that will have the most current actions included. To see more information regarding this process visit the GEMPAK documentation about this topic.
- The information below is only an example of how the ldmd.conf and pqact.conf files may look. Your paths and actions may differ, but the information below should give a general idea on the process as well as descriptions and explanations of some of the terms.
- How to request text model data via the LDM.
ldmd.conf example entry:
########################################
# Request Entries
########################################
#
# LDM servers request data from Data Sources
#
(request) (feedset) (pattern) (hostname pattern)
request WMO ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu [sample host pattern, yours may differ]
More information regarding the WMO feed and other feedtypes
- How to "act" on the data once it is on disk in the LDM queue.
- Reminder: ALL spaces in the pqact.conf file need to be (tabs)!
