4.1.2 fileAccess

The fileAccess element specifies a file to be used in this aggregation. The urlPath must be specified, and is used with the service to create the internal file's URL. The service is specified through the serviceName here or in the parent aggregation element. See Section 3.3 for more information.

The fileAccess element is analogous to the access elements of the THREDDS catalogs, except that it specifies netCDF files or OPeNDAP datasets that are used only internally by the Aggregation Server.

The coord is used only by JoinNew aggregations, in order to specify the coordinate value that this fileAccess corresponds to. The variable type, units, and name are specified with the aggregation element.

urlPath 

Relative to the base URL given in the service element, this is the path to the data file in question.

serviceName 

Use this attribute to nominate the service which is to supply this file. If this is omitted, use the serviceName nominated by the aggregation element. If that one is missing, use this.

coord 

The value of the coordinate variable defined in the aggregation element. This is only relevant for JoinNew aggregations.
