In upgrading to 20.1.1, p_publish_06 is not behaving as before. When we specify "N" (No update), the parameter is changed to "Y" (see log info below).

Param Initialization Failure, Exiting !!!

We are able to get around this only by reverting to the previous version of the program which checks parameters.

Resolution:
As described in v20 rep_change 2057, "The batch job "Create Tar File for ALEPH Published Records" (publish-06) has two new parameters:

1. scratch_path - Allows modifying the directory where the temporary files are located (the default is $data_scratch)

2. zip_flag - Allows to define if the output files are compressed or not (the default is Y, Yes).

When I submit the job on our server, I see these two parameters in the job log after the setenv p_no_process_x, that is:

setenv p_no_process_x "01"
setenv p_scratch_path ""
setenv p_zip_flag "Y"

whereas your log's parameters end with the setenv p_no_process_x.

The rep_change's "Unix Files" section shows that a new ./aleph/pc_b_eng/p-publish-06.xml has been added to the a-tree.

Since it seems that this is not being used, you must have a local $alephe_root/pc_b_eng/p-publish-06.xml which is taking precedence over the new a-tree version. If so, you need to add the p_scratch_path and p_zip_flag setenv's to it, as shown in the rep_change Implementation Notes. (A "diff" of the $alephe_root/pc_b_eng/p-publish-06.xml and the $aleph_root/pc_b_eng/p-publish-06.xml should also show this.)
