A Point Feature Collection is a collection of files which the CDM can recognize as containing Point Features.
station data:
<featureCollection name="Metar Station Data" harvest="true" featureType="Station" path="nws/metar/ncdecoded"> <collection spec="/data/ldm/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar/Surface_METAR_#yyyyMMdd_HHmm#.nc$" /> <update startup="true" rescan="0 0/15 * * * ? *" trigger="allow"/> <protoDataset choice="Penultimate" /> <pointConfig datasetTypes="cdmrFeature Files"/> </featureCollection>
point data:
<featureCollection name="Surface Buoy Point Data" harvest="true" featureType="Point" path="nws/buoy/ncdecoded"> <collection spec="/data/ldm/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/buoy/Surface_Buoy_#yyyyMMdd_HHmm#.nc$" /> <update startup="true" rescan="0 0/15 * * * ? *" trigger="allow"/> <protoDataset choice="Penultimate" /> <pointConfig datasetTypes="cdmrFeature Files"/> </featureCollection>
Defines options on feature collections with featureType="POINT" or "STATION"
1)<pointConfig datasetTypes="cdmrFeature Files" />
where:
- datasetTypes: list the dataset types that are exposed in the TDS catalog. The possible values are:
- cdmrFeature: creates a CdmrFeature dataset and service. All of the files in the collection are treated as part of the same dataset.
- Files: each component file of the collection is available seperately, as in a datasetScan. A "latest" file will be added if there is a "latest" Resolver service in the catalog.
