PDS Product Server for Mac OS X - PDS-D Product Server

PDS-D Product Server for Mac OS X

The Planetary Data System (PDS) Data Distribution System (PDS-D) uses the OODT Data Grid Framework 's product servers to support search and retrieval of planetary data. The Mac OS X Product Server is for discipline nodes running Mac OS X and takes advantage of the Mac OS X platform to run with Apple's advanced Java environment and launchd services. This is a Universal release for both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs. It supports real-time conversions of PDS data to industry-standard formats, retrieval of raw PDS data, PDS labels, and other information.

Installation

To install the Product Server for Mac OS X, download the disk image and then read the installation instructions .

NOTE: This installer is a Universal Binary and works on both Intel and PowerPC based Macs. However, it does require Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard". If you are using Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4, please use version 2.0.1 of the server.

Your system will need to be accessible on the public Internet, and any firewall protecing your system must allow incoming TCP/IP traffic to port 7576 from *.jpl.nasa.gov . (The product server's traffic is HTTP, and, if necessary, you can run the server on a different port.)
