Hi,
I would like to use the BandMerge operator for merging only given bands from a set of sources. Looking at the help of the operator I see a “sourceBands” parameter, so I tried by creating the following XML code.
bandmerge_use.xml (630 Bytes)
But the final result is that all the bands in all the sourceProducts are included into the output.
Where am I wrong?

Hi Giulio
Maybe you have seen the sourcebands parameter of an other operator. The Merge operator doesn’t have this parameter.
Attached is the help for the Merge operator.

Hi Marco,
indeed in the Help of SNAP it is mentioned only the “Merge” operator. However I discovered the “BandMerge” operator from the GraphBuilder and got the syntax with gpt BandMerge -h.
I had the doubt that Merge needs a “real” masterproducts (that is one based on a file), so considered BandMerge. If this is not the case then can I use the Merge operator and simply specify the bands to be included, without mentioning all the ones to be excluded?
For example in this way?
bandmerge_to_merge.xml (1.8 KB)

Oh, didn’t noticed that you are referring to BandMerge. I didn’t know that we have two merge operators.
BandMerge comes with the S1TBX. Maybe there was a reason why they have made there own merge operator. Maybe @lveci knows this and also how it should be used.
The xml you have specified looks good. Even though I never really used the refid attributes. But I think it can work.
The exclude parameter is currently not yet supported. So defining the bands you want to include is the way to go.
Dear Marco,
I made some attempts, but the Merge simply mergeed all the bands of all the products.
However I find a simple workaroud, by adding a BandMath which simply copied from the products the required bands and then I put it into the Write module.
However it would be useful to have better details (or example) on the Merge command help about the include parameter.
