This document describes the task of configuring default parameters (variables) for an ECHO form using the Data Access GUI:
Note: the terms variable and parameter are used interchangeably throughout this document; both terms refer to named data elements ("data objects") within a granule by which variable subsetting can be invoked.
ECHO forms provide spatial, temporal, and variable subsetting capabilities for collections associated with services that have said capabilities. Variable subsetting can be used to extract named attributes from a granule. The default configuration method for any given set of data objects (variables) in a collection follows:
There now exist two methods of mitigating the incidence of (overly) large orders that negatively impact the system:
DAAC operators can configure a "default selection" for configure data objects–that is, they can preselect a recommended subset of those, rather than implicitly recommend that the user download everything. This is method #1 of .
:
SUBSCRIPTION_ENDPOINT_URL (xs:string) allows the Data Access GUI to perform database operations using HTTP requests. The format of this value is http://x5oml01:30XX/todos
DEFAULT_FULFILLMENT_FREQUENCY (xs:integer) allows the operator to generate subscriptions without having to specify the fulfillment frequency each time. It is specified in seconds.
Note: the minimum period between subscription fulfillments is 1 hour (3600 seconds). The maximum period between them is 68 years (2,147,483,647 seconds).
Use Cases
The "Subscription Management" tab allows an operator to view existing subscriptions.
Clicking on a subscription will reveal the details of its processing instructions in the lower half of the window in a readable format.
When no subscriptions are present in the database, a message like this might be received:
To add a subscription, click the [Add New Subscription] button on the "Subscription Management" tab. A dialog box will appear containing several empty fields.
In the "Add New Subscription Dialog" fill in the required fields "Email" and "CMR Query" (see programmatic access or CMR pages for details on creating CMR queries).
Clicking on an item in the requests table will populate the processing options fields below with the details of the request.
Expected Result
To edit an existing subscription, select a subscription, then click the [Edit Subscription] button on the "Subscription Management" tab. A dialog box will appear–populated with the information from the existing subscription.
Note that the old processing options can be overwritten with those from another request. When a subscription is edited, its ID will change.
Cancel a Subscription
Cancelling a subscription is done by selecting a subscription from the default view, then clicking the [Cancel Selected Subscription] button.
