Procedure to automatically delete each library's ./files/dpdir directory
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
- Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct; Direct; Local;
Desired Outcome Goal:
In a multi-ADM/multi-CR library environment (with many libraries) automatically delete each library's dpdir directory (rather than having to do it for each library manually {-- as required in certain cases described in Article 000003484 ("Oracle Data Pump doesn't work ...").}
Procedure:
rm -fr /exlibris/aleph/u20_2/*/files/dpdir
<where "20" is the $ALEPH_VERSION and "2", the $ALEPH_COPY, as seen in the $alephe_root/aleph_start on this particular instance. >.
Additional Information
Note: If this error occurs on an *import* (oracle_impdp_aleph_libs), it may be that the existing dpdir directories contain files which need to be preserved.
**In that case, if data has already been moved to the dpdir directories from the source instance, they should *not* be deleted.**
See Article 000036726 ( oracle_impdp_aleph_libs: invalid file operation ... at "SYS.UTL_FILE ).
