Daemon to transfer pending scenes from NOAA server.
NOAAFTP_DAEMON calls NOAAFTP in a continuous loop to periodically transfer pending scenes from the NOAA server.
- 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.
- TIME_SLEEP(60)
- Sleep time. The amount of time (in minutes) to sleep between executions of NOAAFTP.
NOAAFTP_DAEMON will call NOAAFTP to determine if there are any pending scenes within the schedule. If there are, they will be downloaded from the NOAA server and then renamed into the ADAPSACQ directory for processing. NOAAFTP_DAEMON will run until it is stopped by the user.
NOAAFTP_DAEMON sleeps for TIME_SLEEP minutes between calls to NOAAFTP. See the NOAAFTP module for more information.
An error occurred in the call to NOAAFTP. Contact the system administrator if this error persists.
The module could not sleep for the specified amount of time. Ensure that a reasonable amount of time was specified.
This module must be executed on edcsgs20 for the acquisition process to complete properly. Restart this module from edcsgs20.
A fatal error was encountered, refer to the message preceding this message for more details.
This function has been aborted by the user. Consult with the user before restarting this function.
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.
