Description:
In v17 when we run p_acq_04, we get errors at the end of the log file. It seems that the job runs and it restarts the ue_06 process, but why these errors?

Library SCC50 unlocked
environment variable 'bl_pid' not defined
lib_batch is already running for SCC50
SCC50 is not in WORD_STARTUP_LIBS
SCC50 is not in ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS
SCC50 is not in MESSAGE_STARTUP_LIBS
[ 1] 7871
OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS: Undefined variable
SCC50 is not in OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS
end

Resolution:
The "'bl_pid' not defined" message can be ignored.

If you have set your aleph_start.private to have the desired values for the xxxx_STARTUP_LIBS, these messages can be ignored.

The locking of a library by a batch job causes the ue processes in that library to stop. When the job finishes and unlocks the library, the system restarts the ue processes appropriate for the library:

in deciding if the ue_01 process should be started in this library, it checks if the library is in the $WORD_STARTUP_LIBS (you can check this yourself with the command: "echo $WORD_STARTUP_LIBS")


for the ue_06 process, REQUEST_STARTUP_LIBS;

for the ue_08 process, ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS;

for the ue_11 process, MESSAGE_STARTUP_LIBS;

for the ue_13 process, OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS;

etc.

(The values for the xxxx_STARTUP_LIBS come from aleph_start and aleph_start.private.)


Certain ue processes are appropriate only for certain types of libraries.

For a job running in a bib library, one would expect to see:

xxxnn is not in REQUEST_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS

and (usually):

xxxnn is not in MESSAGE_STARTUP_LIBS


For a job running in an ADM library, one would expect to see:

xxxnn is not in $ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in $OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in PUB_STARTUP_LIBS

and (often)

xxxnn is not in $WORD_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in MESSAGE_STARTUP_LIBS

For a job running in a Course Reserve or authority library, one would expect to see:

xxxnn is not in ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in MESSAGE_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in REQUEST_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in $OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS
xxxnn is not in PUB_STARTUP_LIBS


As noted in SKB# 6796, the ue_13 (OAIREP_STARTUP_LIBS) is used only by the German consortia.
