the only thing i can think of is that there should be a zero-length file tomcat/content/thredds.INIT that tells the war file not to overwrite if its present. maybe that got removed? if so, just touch it before starting again. On 3/26/2013 9:57 AM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal wrote:
I just noticed you overwrote my threddsConfig.xml also, and the one in there looks a lot different. Let me see if changing that changes things. -Roy On Mar 26, 2013, at 8:55 AM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal <address@hidden> wrote:Hi John: The new version kills both of my featureCollections - the one that is wwas working and the one that was not. When go to the second level catalog, where these datasets really exists, it shows nothing. Even more, for some reason on the install it overwrote my catalog.xml (possibly other files). -Roy On Mar 25, 2013, at 4:04 PM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal <address@hidden> wrote:Thanks I am out the door to coach, but ail try tomorrow. -Roy On Mar 25, 2013, at 3:53 PM, John Caron <address@hidden> wrote:Hi Roy: 1) get latest 4.3.17 thredds.war: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/thredds/4.3/4.3.17/thredds.war 2) for just the datasets with this problem, replace: <gribConfig datasetTypes="Best LatestFile" /> in the catalog.xml with: <gribConfig datasetTypes="Best LatestFile"> <pdsHash> <useTableVersion>false</useTableVersion> </pdsHash> </gribConfig> 3. delete the *.ncx files associated with that dataset (gbx9 are ok) 4. restart, let it reindex, and then try accessing that dataset. lemmw know if you see any problems On 3/25/2013 3:27 PM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal wrote:Thanks for any help, though technically what you are doing is correct. If the tables are different the whole shebang might be different (why I love external tables, I know you share the joy), but in our case it is not. This is more carelessness from our data provider, because there is no reason for the table to be different (supposedly it is the same code generating the file as part of a routine process - go figure that one). If we can do a workaround in ncml we will. We just figured out how to do the VIIRS hdf4 files in a workable manner, that aggregate and update, so we have gotten pretty good with ncml. Thanks again for any help you can provide or any suggestions as to what we can do. -Roy On Mar 25, 2013, at 2:12 PM, John Caron <address@hidden> wrote:Hi Roy: Im working on a workaround, as soon as I can get around to working ;^) John On 3/25/2013 1:02 PM, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal wrote:HI All: We are having again having a problem that arose a couple of months ago with aggregating our grub files using <featureCollection type="GRIB">. The problem arises because we get the following error when trying to access the aggregation:Error { code = 500; message = "Variable name (pres_msl) must be unique within Group "; };and this problem is caused by the following (thanks Ethan et al. for figuring this out):it looks like the files are using two different versions of the same grib table. In the wgrib output for some files says: ... center 58 subcenter 0 process 58 Table 2 scan: WE:SN winds(N/S) ... but for some others: ... center 58 subcenter 0 process 58 Table 3 scan: WE:SN winds(N/S)Now my question has to do with how your grib reader works, how that interacts with featureCollection, and how ncml files are viewed. What if for each file I created an ncml file that created a new variable that is basically the same one in the grib file, but because it is "new" it wouldn't be seen as different . Now my question is how would the resulting virtual file be viewed by TDS. Would it still be seen as a "grib" file and therefore aggregated using featureCollection, or is it now viewed as a netcdf file and aggregated using a aggregation scan, or will this not work at all? We are supplied the files, and unfortunately don't have a good capability to rewrite the grib files, so are looking for a workaround.
