Hi all,
It seems that THREDDS forces a rescan if the time stamp on the
directory has
changed. Even if I set recheckEvery to -1 or 90 days it still
appears to
rescan when the modified date on the folder changes. I tested this
using a
simple "touch junk" command in the directory I'm aggregating.
This makes sense so that files added to the directory can be added
to the
aggregation. However, is there a way to tell TDS to skip this step
for a
given dataset or will I need to put my non-changing datasets in
subfolders?
If I put them in subfolders will I be able to aggregate the entire
dataset
together anymore? Perhaps something like:
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation dimName="time" type="joinExisting">
<scan location="/home/om/dods-data/thredds/cool/avhrr/nc4/2006/"
regExp="^2006.*\.nc" />
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
for each year and
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation dimName="time" type="joinExisting">
<scan location="/home/om/dods-data/thredds/cool/avhrr/nc4/"
regExp=".*/*\.nc" />
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
to get the aggregation to go through the subfolders and put the years
together?
The solution of getting TDS to skip rescan on specific datasets
would be
preferable to simplify scripts and avoid having to change them each new
year.
Thanks,
Dave

I believe if you don't set rescan it uses the default value - but
would
have to check on that. I know there is a way to tell it to not
rescan.

What is your rescan set to for that dataset? That is probably
what is
causing it.
I am not using rescan or recheckEvery so that's probably the
problem the
dataset element I'm using is pasted below:

Hi,
Is there a way to tell the TDS NOT to look for new files to add
to an
aggregated dataset? I have several aggregations set up that do
not change
(no added or removed or modified files). Yesterday after
generating the
aggregation cache, access the dataset was quite quick; ~1 second
to load the
Data Access Form. However, when I try to access those same
datasets today it
takes just as long as it did to generate the aggregation cache
in the first
place (5 minutes).
It should be noted that these aggregations are subsets of files
in a
directory that IS being updated. What I have done used a regExp
to separate
a very large dataset into years. The 2008 and prior aggregations
will not
have files added so I'm looking for a way to stop the TDS from
searching for
new files to add to the aggregation cache.
Thanks,
Dave
