output_cycle problem

[John Perks]

I have a UPOC protocol thread configured using Advanced Scheduling, with 4 event entries.  All the entries use tclprocs with ARGS specified, and examine a common directory that is not in the $HCIROOT/ filesystem for files to process.  When the output_cycle command is executed against the process the normal process log in the process directory records the execution of the command, but the new process log is written to that common directory.  And until the process is bounced, the new log in the common directory is the current process log.  There are no other anomalies with the process and UPOC thread except the unorthodox location of the process log.  I need to correct this and obviously update the process log in the process directory at all times.

John,

Just a thought – do any of the Tcl procs change the working directory?

That was it.

Since the thread was UPOC protocol, not fileset-local, the PROTOCOL.IBDIR was not available and I had done a cd to a different directory in one of the tcl procs.  That changed it immediately for the process’ command thread, and the rest is academic.

Thanks.
