Problems with missing attitude and ephemeris files

I running a process-seadas perl script and it has been running without an issue for months. Today when it runs I'm getting errors:

modis_atteph.py -v MOD00.P2019339.1545_1.PDS.L1A --refreshDB

And if I look into /u/oceandata/var/anc/2019/ I do not have a directory for day 339, all prior days are there.

Problems with missing attitude and ephemeris files

Steve,
A long-ish story that can be summed up as: a dying RAID led to a massive DB update that led to another DB getting hammered.  That DB is currently about 18hours behind (but slowly catching up).
Until it has caught up, you may continue to see issues "missing" data. 

Please bear with us while Irv finishes his clean up on aisle seven...
