batch que (lib_batch process) won't start
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
- Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care
Description
util c/2 (start the batch queue) doesn't work: a process number flashes across the screen, but util c/1 shows that the lib_batch process is not running.
Resolution
We see the following in the run_b file:
lib_batch: Permission denied
lib_batch: can not open lock file /exlibris/aleph/lcp/u23_1/lcp01/files/que_batch_lock
This is at a site (PACSCL) which has users such as pma_user, lcp_user, etc. The problem is that aleph_startup was run as user "aleph" and the the lcp_user, etc. do not have permission do update these ,/files/que_batch_lock etc. files.
Changing the permissions:
> cd /exlibris/aleph/lcp/lcp/u23_1/lcp01/files
> chmod 777 *
allowed util c/2 to be run as the lcp_user and the lib_batch process was started.
