Preventing ue_01 from running; util_e_stop doesn't work
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 18.01
Description:
You are running indexing jobs under version 18 and want to prevent ue_01 from running between them (or want to unlock the library), but you find that placing a util_e_stop file in the $data_scratch directory doesn't work, as it did in version 16 and earlier.
Resolution:
For version 18-up:
util w/5 (“View/Update Global System status�) has been added:
Global System Status
Process Name Status
----------------------------- -----------------------------
1. SYSTEM UP
2. WWW-SERVER UP
3. ACQ UP
4. CIRC UP
5. CAT UP
6. ILL UP
7. JOBD UP
8. QUEUE-BATCH UP
9. ALL-UE UP
10. UE-01 UP
11. UE-03 UP
12. UE-06 UP
13. UE-08 UP
14. UE-11 UP
15. UE-13 UP
You can toggle #9 (ALL-UE) to “DOWN� before submitting the indexing job. Then, once the indexing job is done, you would toggle it back to “UP�.
For version 16 and earlier only:
To ensure that no online index updates are attempted:
1. From the GUI Cataloging Services menu, select the xxxnn library and submit the job.
2. On the server: run “util c/1� to verify that the job is running
3. Enter:
“dlib xxxnn"
"touch $data_scratch/util_e_stop"
"ds"
4. Verify that a "util_e_stop" file has been created in the xxxnn data_scratch directory.
5. Run “UTIL c�, then “6� to unlock the library
6. After the index job is done, enter:
“dlib xxxnn"
"rm $data_scratch/util_e_stop"
“util e�
7. Restart the UE_01, UE_08, and any other UE processes which normally run in this library
8. Do "util c 1" to verify that the UE processes are running.
For version 17:
This can’t be done: the util_e_stop (see above) doesn’t work and the util w/5 (see below) doesn’t exist.
[This information will be added to section 7 of the "How To Run Index Jobs" document.]
