Continually check for daily TOVS water vapor files and convert them to LAS images.

Function:

Continually check for daily TOVS water vapor files and convert them to LAS images.

Parameters:

PROCESS(AUTO)

  = AUTO:    Continual automatic ingest
  = MANUAL:  Continual manual ingest

Example:

  1. LAS> tovsin_daemon-auto

    The procedure will run continually looking for TOVS water vapor transfer files that appear in the ADAPSACQ directory. Each file is converted to a LAS image and placed in the ADAPSING directory.

  2. LAS> tovsin_daemon-manual

    The procedure will run continually looking for TOVS water vapor transfer files that appear in the ADAPSPROD directory. Each file is converted to a LAS image and placed in the ADAPSING directory.

Description/Algorithm:

The TOVSIN_DAEMON continually searches a directory for TOVS water vapor files that appear in either the ADAPSACQ or ADAPSPROD directories. Each file is converted to a LAS image and placed in the ADAPSING directory. Images that encounter an error during processing are moved the ADAPSERR directory. Processing messages are logged in the ADAPSLOG directory to TOVSIN.LOG for AUTO processing and TOVSIN_MANUAL.LOG for MANUAL processing. Processing can be halted by placing the stop file TOVSIN_DAEMON.STOP in the ADAPSTABLES directory.

Nonfatal Error Message:

  1. [tovsin-error] ERROR encountered in the tovsin procedure

    An error was encountered during processing. The error message preceding this one is the specific error encountered. The file being processed is moved to ADAPSERR. Processing will continue.

Fatal Error Messages:

  1. [tovsin-ustop] TOVSIN_DAEMON terminated by user

    The TOVSIN_DAEMON was signaled to stop by the user with the use of a stop file.

User Notes:

  1. TOVSIN_DAEMON enters an infinite loop to process TOVS water vapor files. To stop the procedure, run

    ADAPSTOP-FUNC FUNCNAM=TOVSIN_DAEMON

    If it is signaled to stop, TOVSIN_DAEMON will complete the image it is in the process of ingesting and terminate.
