Problem Symptoms:

The manage-05 (Update Direct Index) log has:

* 10 of these errors:
Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for _dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... tab40
Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for _dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... tab15

* and these, later:
Info: Empty table /tmp/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/a21_1//tab/tab40.eng
Info: Empty table /tmp/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/a21_1//tab/tab15.eng

 

Cause:
Diagnostics added (by Ex Libris staff) to the b_manage_05_a program showed that all of the bib records which got these errors had an item with sublibrary xxxxx -- where sublibrary xxxxx was *not* in $alephe_tab/tab_sub_library.lng.

Resolution:

Execute the following SQL:

s+ xxx50
SQL> select unique z30_sub_library from z30 order by z30_sub_library;

Then check in $alephe_tab/tab_sub_library.lng to see if any of them are missing. If so, the missing sublibrary code needs to be added to tab_sub_library.lng -- or the sublibrary in the item record and (if linked to an HOL record) the HOL record needs to be changed to a code which *is* in tab_sub_library.lng.

Additional Information

The same solution applies also for other indexing runs when the same error occurs, such as 'Rebuild Word Index' (manage-01).
