Hello, Roland;

We are still having an issue with our front-end timing out and dying at 5min, while the back-end continues to chug along trying to complete the request. Even if the back-end process completes successfully, the results are not passed to the front-end.

We tried running ferret directly as you suggested, to see if we could get a plot, but we are getting an error. (Results below.)

Do you (or anyone on the list) have any ideas?

Thank you,
Kacie Shelton

Our LAS server is public: http://thredds.jpl.nasa.gov/las/getUI.do

When Rosanna and I run the code in ferret, we both get:

PPL+ error: Unable to read "default.spk" to set shade and fill colors.

At line 171 of file symbel.f

Fortran runtime error: No such file or directory

Our machines have g77 (gfortran) on them. Is that part of the error, or a separate issue?

The dataset http://thredds.jpl.nasa.gov/thredds/dodsC/GHRSST_EUR-L4HRfnd-GLOB-ODYSSEA_TIMEAGG/aggregate__ghrsst_EUR-L4HRfnd-GLOB-ODYSSEA.ncml is big enough that a Hovmoller longitude plot doesn’t complete when set to the full time range in LAS – it will complete about 11months, but longer than that and we see the 300 second time out, while as you say, OPeNDAP chugs along its merry way even though Ferret has timed out. (ODYSSEA is not as big as other datasets, so at least it doesn’t tie up OPeNDAP as long.)

Would you please give it a try on your end, in case the fortran issue is a separate problem?

My attempt is below; please ignore the xterm issue, as that’s my windows machine. Rosanna gets the Fortran error, but not the xterm display issue.

Thank you,

Kacie Shelton
