Installing the McIDAS-X 2021.1 ADDE Remote Server

1. Log in to a shell as root using command sudo bash.

2. Change to the home directory for user mcidas.

3. Uninstall the previous version's ADDE remote server. Replace version# in the command below with the previous version number of McIDAS-X (2020.1, for example). If you used an account other than mcadde for your ADDE remote server, insert that account name in place of mcadde.

This step removes the modifications made to the Internet services daemon configuration files (xinetd or systemd), forces a reread of the configuration files, and attempts to verify that it is no longer listening for ADDE requests from McIDAS-X clients.

To install the McIDAS-X 2021.1 ADDE remote server, go to step 4. Otherwise, proceed to Removing the Previous Version of McIDAS-X.

4. Install the McIDAS-X 2021.1 ADDE remote server. If you use an account other than mcadde for your ADDE remote server, insert that account name in place of mcadde in the command below.

This step checks for the existence of the Internet services daemon systemd or xinetd.  It then modifies the configuration files to make the daemon aware of the ADDE service, forces the daemon to reread its configuration files, and attempts to verify that the daemon is listening for ADDE requests from McIDAS-X clients.

Notes:

1. You can check the status of the ADDE remote server at any time by running the command sh  ./mcinetversion#.sh  status from the ~mcidas directory.
2. If you make changes to your daemon's configuration files, you can restart the daemon by running the command sh  ./mcinetversion#.sh  restart from the ~mcidas directory while logged in as root.

If you have installed the ADDE remote server and want to make datasets that are accessible to McIDAS-X client workstations, go to Appendix I, McIDAS-X Site Administration and Management and its Acquiring and Naming Data on a Remote Server page for more information.
