ADDE

This section of your McIDAS Learning Guide contains information about the ADDE (Abstract Data Distribution Environment) software in the core McIDAS package. The ADDE allows your workstation to act as a client, efficiently accessing data from multiple McIDAS-X servers. This chapter introduces you to ADDE concepts and use.

McIDAS is in transition from the use of non-ADDE programs to ADDE replacements. Most of the examples in this Learning Guide have been updated to use ADDE versions of commands. For those functions where an ADDE replacement is not available, the non-ADDE commands are used.

This introduction provides an overview of the ADDE system. The following topics are included:

definitions of commonly used terms
an explanation of client and server functions
the scheme used for naming data
information about look-up tables
information about naming data on your local server
using compressed data transfers

The following commands are used in this lesson.

Command	Function

AKA	manages and lists aliases for dataset names
DATALOC	manages and lists the client routing table
DSINFO	lists datasets on local and remote servers
DSSERVE	manages and lists dataset names on the local server
IMGCOPY	copies image data from one dataset to another
IMGLIST	lists images in a dataset
