2604.0. "bsubmit problem [in ptbqa]" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Oct 15 1996 19:34

Brian, here are some items to check: 	

There is not a command switch -time on bsubmit, so I'm guessing
you really didn't do this exactly as you said:
    bsubmit -resub -time <time>

Since it's now a new date, the appropriate command for your resub
would be:
	workon -sb <sandboxname>
	(now cd to sandbox src if you're not already there)
	bsubmit -resub 16:34 -date 10/3/96

There is a problem which sometimes crops up in which a stopped &
resumed bsubmit will encounter "missing" files because the copy in
place has been removed and not yet replaced; the phase of the submit
determines what state they should be in (read-only or read-write),
however if you can check the full list of 361 files and for any that
are "absent" re-check them out using

	bco -u <file> <file>...

After all the 361 files are in place re-try the bsubmit -resub
as above.

If you still have problems, it may be necessary for us to examine the
contents of your 16:34.Brian_Baker and 16:34.bcssteps files; these
preserve the state information for the bsubmit.

Regarding Jeff Detjen's files in the Thold file; this is normal and
just shows other submit activity that happened to be pending in the
same pool; you can ignore this, however your name and file list is also
in this hold file as follows (it was below Jeff's entry):

    : Brian_Baker; Date: 10/3/96; Time: 16:34
    ./test/filesystems/suites/Makefile.ode
    ./test/filesystems/suites/advfs/Makefile.ode
    ....

At any time you can do "sadmin -all | more" to see the current contents
of what's on hold (contents of ptbqa/logs/bsubmit.hold file).

I've checked the state in rcs of the first and last files in your list
and it appears that you can actually safely clear the state of the
bsubmit and begin it again if you like, since you don't have any
"submit branch locks".

Here's how you can remove the submit (it won't affect your bci'd files;
they'll still be in the bci'd state ready to bsubmit):

	sadmin -rm 16:34 -date 10/3/96

You can also do the previously mentioned sadmin -all before and after
this sadmin -rm just to confirm to you that your submit was indeed in
the hold queue and is afterward no longer on hold.

You will still need to check if any of the 361 files are missing and
replace them with a "bco -u" which will just put back your last bci
and leave the file read-only.

The files in the bcssteps file are the files which succeeded in the
current phase of the submit.  So the missing ones were the ones that
had some problem associated with them.

By the way, before you restart a new bsubmit, you can use bsubmit -info ...
which will check things and warn you of merges without actually doing
the submit work.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  You are correct, I was overzealous in my typing.
The command I used was bsubmit -resub <time> (no -time switch).

I'm going to go the removal route.

Out of curiosity...
    The 16:34.bcssteps file contains the majority of my files (297 out of the
    361).  Are the files in 16:34.bcssteps those that bsubmit got to or those
    it didn't get to?  The "absent" files you referred to...are those the
    files that are _not_ in the 16:34.bcssteps file?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Brian
