[ldm-users] Data-Product Metadata

[Donna Cote]

What I found that works for me is:

EXP|SPARE       ^[DWS].{11}_
        EXEC    /usr/local/ldm/bin/pqcat -O -vl logs/scoop/scoop-ldm.log 
-p ^[DWS] /dev/null

We are using the EXP feed for our peoject/group where we have 
pre-defined filename structure. This wouldn't work:
EXP|SPARE       ^[DWS].{11}_
        EXEC    /usr/local/ldm/bin/pqcat -O -vl logs/scoop/scoop-ldm.log 
/dev/null

Would your statement, alone, work in the pqact file, I mean, isn't the 
Feedtype and pattern required?

Thank you,
Donna
