SDI GVAR Software Changes

This page lists the software changes included with each SDI GVAR version available on the McIDAS Website. Each version contains all changes in the previous versions.

Modules Updated in January 2012 Server Binary Updates

Module Inquiry Number Change
bin/gvaradir
bin/gvaraget
bin/gvarnavf
15153 Updated GVAR servers to fix a problem where an IMGCOPY (or other IMG* command) that requests a complete GOES-15 Sub-CONUS image while it's being ingested produces a blank line at the point in which the ingestor starts receiving Sounder data.

 

Module Updated in December 2011 Sounder Decoder Update

Module Inquiry Number Change
bin/decoder none Updated GVAR Sounder Decoder to correctly identify 185 as the sensor source number for GOES-15 Sounder data.

 

Modules Updated in December 2011 Server Binary Updates

Module Inquiry Number Change
bin/gvaradir
bin/gvaraget
bin/gvarnavf
15075, 14734 Updated GVAR servers with the most recent calibration coefficient updates for GOES-14 and GOES-15 and to fix a problem that can occur if attempting to copy a full disk GOES visible image at full resolution using IMGCOPY with BAND=1 SIZE=SAME STYPE=VISR.

 

Modules Updated in March 2010 Server Binary Updates

Module Inquiry Number Change
bin/gvaradir
bin/gvaraget
bin/gvarnavf
14754 Updated GVAR servers to accommodate the significant changes in the GVAR signal for GOES-15. (Similar to those made for GOES-14)

 

Modules Updated in October 2009 Server Binary Updates

Module Inquiry Number Change
bin/gvaradir
bin/gvaraget
bin/gvarnavf
14567 Updated GVAR servers to accommodate the significant changes in the GVAR signal for GOES-14.

Modules Updated in Version 2005jun01

Module Inquiry Number Change
mcinet.sh 12477 Fix for paths to servers.
Closed ports 500 and 503.
(Note: Beginning with this 2005jun01 version, the SDI installation opens only port 112 (ports 500 and 503 are no longer opened). Therefore, 2005jun01 SDI GVAR servers will respond only to data requests from clients running McIDAS-X version 2005 or 2004 (and also 2003 if the client’s MCCOMPRESS environment variable is set to "gzip"). Thus, commands sent to server port 500 or 503 from clients running older versions will fail on the client (eventually timeout because of no response). See the McIDAS-X Version 2005 Upgrade Procedure for more information.)
bin/gvaraget 12556 Modified to no longer default to the current day
bin/mcserv, bin/gvaradir, bin/gvaraget 12608 Updated selective dataset restrictions.
