However I seem to be having some >trouble getting the images into McIDAS, strange as that may seem since the >pnga2area decoder writes out AREA format! Right, this is strange. >I am running McIDAS 7.6.11, and the lines in my pqact.conf file look like this: > >MCIDAS ^pnga2area U. (.*) (.*) (.*) (.*) (.*) (........) (....) > PIPE -close > pnga2area -vxl /programs/ldm/logs/pnga2area.log -d /var/data/mcidas -r > \1,\2 Are you saying that you use different actions for filing the images for GARP? If so, what are the entries you are using there? >Tabs are correct. This entry does not give me any output to the log file >norany AREA files in /var/data/mcidas. Can you tell what I am missing? The entry looks correct (I am taking you at your word that the tabs are correct). Is McIDAS installed in /home/mcidas? If not, you will need the '-a' and '-b' flags set so that SATANNOT and SATBAND can be found). Again, what is the entyr(ies) that are working? >My McIDAS setup is already >supposed to be looking in /var/data/mcidas for imagery, and I did >kill -HUP pqact to >re-read the pqact.conf file. >Do I have to rerun the ROUTE commands in McIDAS? You do have to have the routing table located in /var/data/mcidas and it has to be readable and writable by the user running the LDM. You should also have a copy of SYSKEY.TAB located in /var/data/mcidas. I saw another site have a problem when they did not have SYSKEY.TAB located in the output data directory. One was created on behalf of the user, but it did not have the correct information written into it. What I had the user do was: o stop the LDM o copy ~mcidas/data/SYSKEY.TAB to the output data directory o ftp the CIMSS.BAT file from the pub/mcidas directory of anonymous FTP on ftp.undiata.ucar.edu to the ~mcidas/workdata directory o run 'batch.k CIMSS.BAT' after making sure that the McIDAS account had a REDIRECTion that pointed to the copy of ROUTE.SYS in the output data directory o restart the LDM See if the size of SYSKEY.TAB in ~mcidas/data matches the size of SYSKEY.TAB in /var/data/mcidas. Also make sure that both SYSKEY.TAB and ROUTE.SYS are readable and writable by the user running the LDM. Let me know the results of the test. >Thanks for your help! I have to go back to a meeting now. I will try to jump back on during a break. Tom
