abc50 batch queue not working properly

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 19.01

Description:
abc50 jobs just sit in the queue. I delete the several submitted jobs from the queue, stop queue, start queue, submit again, job just sits there.

util c/1 showed that the abc50 batch que was not running. We did util c/2 to start it but it did not start.

We took the actions described in KB 16384-22097 (renaming batch_que, kill lib_batch, etc.). The job appears in the queue but is still was not executed.

Resolution:
I see the following errors in the $alephe_scratch/jobd.log:

ABC3 p_union_04 ABC30
Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for abc3_dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... que_batch
aleph_que.c: No such file or directory
Load: /exlibris/aleph/u19_1/alephe/tab/tab_library_group
...

Performing Jobs:

ABC5 p_file_20 ABC50,patron_address_load.dat,patron_load,Y,%,+,,ALEPH_SEQ,
Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for abc5_dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... que_batch
aleph_que.c: No such file or directory


This problem is like KB 8192-4056. The library code, in column 5 of the job_list entry, is shifted one column too far to the right. This is true of both the p_file_20 and the p_union_04.

Please correct these and restart the job daemon (util e/15).
