Automatically transfer pending scenes from NOAA
Automatically transfer pending scenes from NOAA
- TIME_ACQUIRE(60)
- Acquire time. Time (in minutes from current acquisition time) to wait before attempting an ftp acquisition. This will usually be set to 60 minutes when getting DOMSAT scenes via ftp, and set to at least 180 minutes when getting DOMSAT scenes via the satellite dish (extend the time when using the dish to keep NOAAFTP from getting them before the dish does). When the DOMSAT dish is being used, NOAAFTP should only be downloading MISSED scenes.
- LOGFILE(--)
- Log file. Name of the log file to write all processing messages to. If defaulted, "noaaftp" within the ADAPSLOG directory will be used. LOGFILE will have a ;log extension.
NOAAFTP will identify and download any pending scenes from the NOAA server. Processing messages and errors will be written to "[somedir]noaaftp;log".
NOAAFTP makes a copy of the master schedule listing. This schedule is searched for scenes identified as "pending" scenes. For "pending" scenes which are TIME_ACQUIRE minutes past their local acquisition time, an attempt is made to download them from the NOAA server and move them into the "acquire" directory for processing. A schedule "modify-by-scene-id" directive file is generated to change the status of the scene from "Pend" to "Disk" in the schedule. Processing messages and error messages are written to LOGFILE.
The specified scene was not successfully transferred from the NOAA server. This failure is most likely caused by the image not existing on the NOAA server (see User Note).
An error occurred while attempting to determine the current working directory. Contact the system administrator if this error persists.
The directory to process in could not be determined. Verify that the ADAPSACQ directory exists, and that the "noaaftp" subdirectory exists.
A copy of the master schedule could not be made. Ensure that the master schedule exists with the proper file permissions.
The NOAA server password could not be read from the appropriate file. Make certain that your user id has been validated for this password.
An error occurred while reading the schedule to determine a pending scene. Ensure that the master schedule has not been corrupted.
An error occurred while trying to generate a "modify-by-scene-id" schedule update file. Contact the system administrator if this error persists.
The CEOS id of the downloaded image could not be determined. Examine the filename syntax of the downloaded image to determine its origin, and rename it accordingly. See User Note for more details.
The downloaded scene could not be moved and renamed for processing. Contact the system administrator if this error persists.
NOAAFTP was unable to return to the users original working directory. Ensure that this directory still exists.
This module must be executed on edcsgs20 for the acquisition process to complete properly. Restart this module from edcsgs20.
The copy of the master schedule could not be deleted. Contact the system administrator if this error persists.

Using the local DOMSAT dish:
- Must have the two INHALE processes running on VAXH. - Run AUDITSCH with CEOSIDS=SFL,NGC,NOA. This will enable the software on edcsgs20 to look in the ingest logs to determine when live and DOMSAT scenes have been acquired on VAXH (and generate schedule directive files to update the master schedule to signify the scenes have been acquired). - Run NOAAFTP with TIME_ACQ=180 minutes or more. Extending this time will prevent NOAAFTP from downloading scenes before they get transmitted to the DOMSAT dish (NOAAFTP should only be downloading MISSED acquisitions when utilizing the DOMSAT dish). - When scheduling run XSCHED with the domsat flag as follows: xsched printer1 printer2 domsat This allows the schedule to be pushed to vaxh.
Using the ftp link to the NOAA server:
- Must NOT have the two INHALE processes running on VAXH. - Run AUDITSCH with CEOSIDS=SFL. When NOAAFTP downloads a scene from the server, it will generate a schedule directive file (to update the master schedule to signify the scene has been acquired). AUDITSCH only needs to look in the log files for SFL scenes to determine when they have been acquired. - Run NOAAFTP with TIME_ACQ=60 minutes (start looking for NGC scenes, NOA scenes, missed SFL scenes on the NOAA server 1 hour after their acquistion time). - When scheduling run XSCHED without the domsat flag: xsched printer1 printer2 This prevents the schedule from being pushed to vaxh.
