20030731: NIMAGE data not updating on ADDE servers

Gilbert,

As we discussed on the phone yesterday, the problem was in where the
imagery was being filed on the servers.  I corrected the problem right
after we talked, and then ran into another problem.

No.

Here is what happened:

- I was filing the uncompressed Zlib compressed imagery into directories
  that were different from those being looked at by the ADDE servers.
  The same mistake was made on server of the publically accessible
  servers: adde.ucar.edu, papagayo.unl.edu, stratus.al.noaa.gov, and
  atm.geo.nsf.gov.

- the LDM pqact process on adde.ucar.edu got way behind by a flood of
  CONDUIT data.  As you noted, the imagery was an hour old even after
  I corrected the filing location for the NIMAGE data.  The initial
  clue was that the UNIWISC (ADDE dataset RTIMAGES) data was also way
  behind.  This problem corrected itself as soon as pqact was able
  to catch up on the CONDUIT processing

So, mystery solved and corrected.  Thanks for reporting the problem!

Tom
