[McIDAS #IFV-999159]: Data is not up-to-date on LEADS.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU

Hi Matthew,

re:

OK.  Please remember that the default type is GFS, not NAM (so the
TYPE= keyword has to be specified to get NAM).

re:

The snafu likely has to do with needing to rebuild the rapid access
files.  I did this when I installed XCD v2016 on lead, but I did not
update anything when I installed v2017.  I wouldn't have thought
that this should cause a problem but, you never know.

re:
> Perhaps I need to reconsider where I get this output??

Perhaps, but from where?  The reason I ask is the following:

- SSEC no longer supports McIDAS-X/XCD on Solaris machines

- lead.unidata.ucar.edu is the only Linux based motherlode class server
  that we operate

  This means that I am unable to update my McIDAS-X/XCD installations
  on our Solaris motherlode class machines, adde.ucar.edu, atm.ucar.edu,
  and unidata2-new.ssec.wisc.edu (aka idd.ssec.wisc.edu, adde.ssec.wisc.edu).

  Aside: I've tried to build current versions of McIDAS-X under Solaris
  x86, but the HDF5 package (which is needed to serve GOES-R data) won't
  build.  I have to figure something out to mitigate this situation in
  the relatively near future as we start making GOES-16 data available.

Sounds good.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
