GEXPORT(1)
NAME
gexport - mdi_ground data export
SYNOPSIS
gexport [-lname] series_name output_directory
DESCRIPTION
gexport exports a dataset from the mdi_ground database to
the given directory.
gexport is intended to allow a user to get a local copy of
data which is then independent of DSDS.
gexport is a perl script which creates an appropriate map
file and then executes pe to run the outgest_svc to export
the data. However a pe query (peq) is first executed to see
if the dataset exists and is on-line. Because peq and pe are
run, a pvm daemon will be started on the host if necessary.
gexport will not retrieve a dataset if it is not on-line.
The ground rule is that only the production user will run a
lago_svc. Notice that you must quote (") the series_name if
you use a series number.
OPTIONS
-lname
Overrides the default lev0 "level:" of the dataset
name.
EXAMPLES
csh> gexport apr890 /tmp/jim dsds_svc tid=454a3 currently
running for db=mdi_ground This is the version of pe without
the lago_svc outgest_svc tid=454a5 spawned on
rumble.Stanford.EDU Registered with dsds_svc as uid=4326
rumble.Stanford.EDU outgest_svc sent:
in=prog:mdi_ground,level:lev0,series:apr890,sel:[]
rumble.Stanford.EDU outgest_svc complete:
cp -r /DSDS2/D2628/apr890/lev0 /tmp/jim/apr890/ Dere-
gistered with dsds_svc as uid=4326 PE Normal Completion
csh> gexport -lraw apr960 /tmp/jim The dataset is not on-
line. gexport does not retrieve data. Currently only the
production user can retrieve data.
csh> gexport "sertest[1000]" /tmp/jim Query of database
failed. No such dataset?
FILES
Creates a pe map file, map.export, in the cd. Creates a peq
query results file in /tmp/peq.<user>.
BUGS
Currently does not run on fault due to the lack of Oracle
libraries.
