Hi Mark,
The message is a warning from the catalog library. It means that there is no way
to actually access the dataset, i.e., there is no service ("selectable") and it
contains no children datasets ("nested"). But that isn't a problem for catGen
config files
As far as the extra datasets, the datasetNamer elements don't actually filter
out datasets that don't match the regular expression. They only name datasets
that do match. The datasetFilter element only accepts datasets that match a
given regular expression. So, you can add a datasetFilter element that will only
include datasets that match a regular expression. For instance,
<datasetFilter name="Test filter" type="RegExp"
matchPattern="([a-z]+)\.nc$" />
Hope that helps,
Ethan
