• REPLACE keyword - continued

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Saturday, November 21, 2020 00:12:37
    Hello All!

    Have now received new nodelists and nodedifs files the REPLACE is now working correctly.

    It is a bug that if a file comes in for tic processing that has a REPLACE keyword without any files matching the keyword then mbse will delete the incoming file after processing (i.e., downlinks and any magic processing.

    Hello Vincent,

    REPLACE keyword without any files matching the keyword then mbse will delete the incoming file after processing (i.e., downlinks and any
    magic processing.

    I don't think it is generally. I have a point that was down for a time and each week there was a new nodelist that replaced the old one and MBSE removed undelivered tics that were associated with replaced nodelists for that point.

    That's a good thing at least in this case.

    Quite, but the scenario I mentioned is a more important problem but in a limited manner.

    The solution is simple if it applies to any one by going to the correct file directory (bbs) running touch on an old file name.extention i.e., touch nodelist.z11

    Then import it in to the system for the specific file area.

    Then double check that the file files.bbs is created or updated with the file added.


    Just a pain to remember.

    Hello Vincent,

    I haven't noticed issues when replacing files but maybe I just didn't see it.

    correct file directory (bbs) running touch on an old file
    name.extention i.e., touch nodelist.z11

    Yes, the file to be replaced should be removed from the FDB, files.bbs, magics and deleted, both the file and the symlink.

    Then import it in to the system for the specific file area.

    Then double check that the file files.bbs is created or updated with
    the file added.

    Yes, is the new file not added to to FDB, files.bbs and magics?

    Just a pain to remember.

    Which step is not happening the way it needs too?

    IF, the replacing file does NOT exist then after all primary processing the incoming file is deleted.

    You may well not want this :)

    I have not seen this but it could be my attention was elsewhere.

    No, we don't want this to happen. If that is happening we'll need one of the coders to have a look.

    No, we don't want this to happen. If that is happening we'll need one
    of the coders to have a look.

    Or even one of the programmers.

    A coder codes from a very detailed program specification where all the T's are crossed and the i's are dotted.

    Not the same thing.

    I think Andrew or Sean could look in on it and make any needed changes.
