Transfer Schedule:
We have data from 1996-present. We are planning to send the backlog of data starting August 9.
Additional Notes:
The cronttab is set to pick up data on the 28th day of
each month and to pick up data on a 2 month delay. So, for example, on
April 28th, 2004, it will pick up the data for all of February,2004.
Please see http://www.arm.gov/xds/static/ssmi.stm and BCR-00848 for the details.
