3 Abstract Data Distribution Environment - ADDE
Table of Contents:
ADDE
This section of your McIDAS Learning
Guide contains information about the ADDE (Abstract Data
Distribution Environment) software in the core McIDAS package. The ADDE
allows your workstation to act as a client, efficiently accessing data
from multiple McIDAS-X servers. This chapter introduces you to ADDE
concepts and use.
The great majority of McIDAS functionality has been transitioned to use
of ADDE programs. For those functions where an ADDE replacement is not
available, the McIDAS Learning Guide shows the non-ADDE commands to
use.
This introduction provides an overview of the ADDE system. The following topics
are included:
- definitions of commonly used terms
- an explanation of client and server functions
- the scheme used for naming data
- information about look-up tables
- information about naming data on your local server
- using compressed data transfers
