Michael,
I logged onto catwoman as 'mcidas' and verified the read/write permissions
on /mcidasdata/mcidas and on /mcidasdata/mcidas/ROUTE.SYS and
/mcidasdata/mcidas/SYSKEY.TAB. Like you reported previously, everything
looks fine.
I then did the following:
cd ~mcidas/workdata
route.k LIST
Looking throught the route listing, verified our earlier exchnages:
product codes CI, CV, and CW were suspended. I also saw that a couple
of archaic products were not SUSpended, so I tried suspending them:
route.k SUS UM US
S Pd Description Range Last Received Post Process C
- -- ------------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- ------------ -
s UM Administrative Message default none none none 1
s US Undecoded SAO Data default none none none 1
route.k: Done
I then verfied that the listing was not bogus:
route.k LIST UM US
S Pd Description Range Last Received Post Process C
- -- ------------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- ------------ -
s UM Administrative Message default none none none 1
s US Undecoded SAO Data default none none none 1
route.k: Done
Seeing as how this worked, I went ahead and RELeased CI, CV, and CW:
route.k REL CI CV CW
S Pd Description Range Last Received Post Process C
- -- ------------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- ------------ -
CI GOES-E/W IR Composite 80-89 none none none 3
CV GOES-E/W VIS Composite 90-99 none none none 3
CW GOES-E/W H2O Composite 70-79 none none none 3
route.k: Done
I then verified that this worked:
route.k LIST CI CV CW
S Pd Description Range Last Received Post Process C
- -- ------------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- ------------ -
CI GOES-E/W IR Composite 80-89 none none none 3
CV GOES-E/W VIS Composite 90-99 none none none 3
CW GOES-E/W H2O Composite 70-79 none none none 3
route.k: Done
Something else must have been going on when you tried this from a McIDAS-X
session run as the user 'mcidas'. Now, all we have to do is wait until
images are received to make sure that the compositing is working.
The other thing I noticed was that you are not creating the topography
composites (product codes N1-N8). Is this by design? If not, those
products must be released in the routing table also:
cd ~mcidas/workdata
route.k REL N
OK, after a few minutes of waiting, I saw a composite image created:
route.k LIST C
S Pd Description Range Last Received Post Process C
- -- ------------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- ------------ -
CA Cloud Top Pressure 1100-1109 AREA1104 00294 1815 CTP.BAT 3

route.k: Done
While waiting, I noticed that the bug fix level of your McIDAS installation
is at 7.605. The current bug fix level is 7.613, and I will be updating
this to 7.614 either today or this weekend. You will want to update your
distribution. One of the fixes allows LA to list out information from
images correctly. Here is how the version on your system is working
right now:
la.k 70
area ss yyddd hhmmss lcor ecor lr er zr lsiz esiz z bands
---- ---- ----- ------ ----- ----- -- -- -- ----- ----- - -----
70 70 ***** 171500 103 93 4 4 1 592 1204 1 ..3.............
Done
The newer version of LA (the Y2K patch) will list this out as:
la.k 70
area ss yyyddd hhmmss lcor ecor lr er zr lsiz esiz z bands
---- ---- ------ ------ ----- ----- -- -- -- ----- ----- - -----
70 70 100294 171500 103 93 4 4 1 592 1204 1 ..3.............
Done
Since I had 'ldm' login, I decided to take a look at your ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf
file. I found a problem that you were most likely not aware of:
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q. (..) (.*) (.*) (.*) (.*) (........) (....)
PIPE -close
# pnga2area -d /mcidasdata/mcidas -r \1,\2
pnga2area -v
-a /users/ldm/etc/SATANNOT
-b /users/ldm/etc/SATBAND
-d /mcidasdata/mcidas -r \1,\2
pqact.conf entries should not have comments in them. I recommend
that you change this entry to:
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q. (..) (.*) (.*) (.*) (.*) (........) (....)
PIPE -close
pnga2area -v
-a /users/ldm/etc/SATANNOT
-b /users/ldm/etc/SATBAND
-d /mcidasdata/mcidas -r \1,\2
(i.e., delete the comment line).
After making any change to pqact.conf, you should check the integrity
of the file and, when there are no problems, send a HUP to pqact:
ldmadmin pqactcheck
ldmadmin pqactHUP

Tom,
All the composites seem to be working. I used route.k to release the topo
composites and I changed our pqact.conf as you suggested. We're pretty busy for
the rest of the day so we'll probably end up upgrading our McIDAS next week.
Thanks again for you help.
