19. 19 November 17, 2009 Jim Russell - EOPM Review GATS Lessons Learned Product Availability Notices (PANs) sent by email can fall prey to changing SPAM filters. Realistic test cases for sending PANs need to include large numbers of files in a short period of time representing reprocessing of the whole data set. In file naming, version numbering system should include at least two integer places, one decimal, and a two character revision: "v02.1_rev03" NetCDF-3 is not well suited for storing CIPS data. Official file types should be chosen that works best for the type of data needing to be stored, and that might be different for different data sets on a project. A distributed data dissemination system that takes advantage of shared data servers can work, however decentralized anonymous FTP makes tracking data downloads difficult. People will not generally register for update notifications unless required to in order to get access to the data. Overlapping transition period is very helpful when personnel change
