ARC 1.1 ETL fails after installing rep change 1324

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18.01

Description:
We are running ARC 1.1 and have installed v.18 rep change 1324. When we run the ARC ETL process (p_arc_01) through the batch queue, we get this error:

ARC_VERSION = 2.0
Now checking license permission
There is NO valid ARC license
**** Aborting ****

Why is this happening and what can we do about it?

Resolution:
Rep change 1324 added this line to the prof_library file for library, USM50:

setenv ARC_VERSION 2.0

When aleph_startup starts the batch queues, prof_library is sourced for each library before its queue is started. Since USM50 is started before ABC50, and ARC_VERSION isn't set in ABC50's prof_library, the setting for USM50 remained in effect when the ABC50 queue was started. Adding ARC_VERSION to aleph_start (as suggested by KB 8192-8903 for ARC 2.0 users) doesn't help, since the USM50 prof_library is sourced after aleph_start. Adding ARC_VERSION to ABC50's prof_library fixed the problem.


Thanks to Timothy Prettyman of the University of Michigan for diagnosing and resolving this problem.
