File not getting created on thread restart

[Benjamin Rubin]

Here is the scenario:

I have a thread that outputs to a file.  Every night there is a bash script that is kicked off by a cron job that stops the thread, moves the file elsewhere, and then starts the thread again.  The problem is that the file defined in the thread’s output file properties is not getting created.  When I arrive in the office in the morning and restart the thread using Network Monitor the file is created, although all the transactions during the night have been lost.

Here is an excerpt from the script that I’m running:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
site=”prodsite”
process=”ADT”
thread=”MYTHREAD_ADT_OUT”
filepath=”/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator/prodsite/filesout/mythread/thread.dat”
fileout=”MYTHREAD`date -d ‘-1 day’ +%m%d%y`.txt”
archivedir=”/home/hci/archive/mythread/”

source /home/hci/.profile
setsite $site

hcicmd -p $process -c “$thread pstop”
sleep 60

mv $filepath $archivedir$fileout
sleep 60

hcicmd -p $process -c “$thread pstart”

I have also tried using `touch` to create $filepath after I move the file, but the file still doesn’t contain any data by morning.

Is there something else that I should be doing here?

Hey Benjamin,

I had the same problem and had to add the below code to my script to

get the file creation to work.  Had to “export” the cloverleaf site variables.

## Setup hci environment

export ROOT=”/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator”

export FPATH=$FPATH:/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/kshlib

export PATH=$PATH:$ROOT/bin

export SITE=”pimprod”

setroot $ROOT

## Run the setsite command to the region you want to process

setsite $SITE >> /home/apollomd/process_apollomd_log

Hope this helps…..

This sounds like a UNIX file protection issue.  Try putting this in to eliminate permissions:

Code:

> $filepath
chmod 777 $filepath

Hope this helps,

Why not just use fileset local and add a fileset tcl proc to do all your work natively in Cloverleaf whithout any cron scripts?
