[ldmMcidas #PUC-404507]: MD storage limits

["Unidata ldm-mcidas Support" <support-ldm-mcidas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Samuel,

re:
> I have done this for all MD file formats, do I need to do this for other file formats (like AREA)?

You shouldn't have to do this since your general pqact.conf actions for image
processing are already writing files with descriptive names.

Example from ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf_mcidasB:

# Vis (0.65 um)
UNIWISC ^pnga2area Q. (U[^ACXY13]) (.*) (.*)_IMG (0.65)um (.*) (........) (....)
        PIPE    -close  util/ldmfile.sh
        /data/ldm/mcidas/images/sat/\3/\5/VIS/VIS_\6_\7

The image files in AREA format that are being written to ~ldm/data/mcidas
using the AREA file naming convention are replicated by other actions in
pqact.conf_mcidasB.  The AREAnnnn files are written so that GOES-East/West
compositing can be done by a process run upon receipt of the various
East and West products.


Cheers,

Tom
