Uprocs

This section describes the commands on Uprocs. The default Environment can be changed.

The command uxadd UPR adds a Uproc into the Uprocs list. Only general information is defined. Additional information will be entered by updating the Uproc (uxupd command). Its syntax is as follows:

uxadd UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] [LABEL=label][FPERIOD=N|D|W|T|F|M|2|3|Q|S|Y] [UPT=CL_INT|CL_EXT|CMD|FTP_GET|FTP_PUT|…] [CLFIL=filename] [CL_INT=filename] [COMMAND=command] [EXECDIR=directory] [SHELL=filename] [SHELLARG=arguments] [SHELLTYPE=POWERSHELL|PERL|CSCRIPT|DEFAULT] APPL=application [CLASS=class] [MEMO=N|O|A] [NBPER=number] [RETRY=(NNN,MM)] [DEFINFO=information] [DEFSEV=severity] [INTERACTIVE| NONINTERACTIVE]

See also GENINF Items.

The command uxupd UPR modifies the Uproc’s general information. It defines additional characteristics such as conditions, completion instructions, incompatibilities. Its syntax is as follows:

uxupd UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] family...

The command uxdup UPR duplicates a Uproc with all its characteristics. If this Uproc has an internal script, it is also duplicated. Its syntax is as follows:

uxupd UPR UPR=uproc VUPR=version TUPR=uproc TVUPR=version [TLABEL=label]

The command uxshw UPR displays the characteristics of a Uproc (its script if internal), its variables (the password type variables values are displayed as stars *******), its launch formula and the details of the conditions. In order to avoid displaying the (internal) script, the node setting U_UPR_SCRIPT_NODISP (Advanced Settings category) can be used. Refer to the Univiewer User Guide. Its syntax is as follows:

uxshw UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] [DOM=domain] [APPL=application] [SCRIPT] [OUTPUT=filename]

The command uxdlt UPR deletes a Uproc. Its syntax is as follows:

uxdlt UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version]

The command uxlst UPR lists the Uprocs. Its syntax is as follows:

uxlst UPR [UPR=uproc] [VUPR=version] [DOM=domain] [APPL=application] [INF|FULL] [OUTPUT=filename]

The command uxtra UPR transfers the Uprocs to another area (same company and same node). Its syntax is as follows:

uxtra UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] TESP=I|S|X

The command uxscv UPR defines the current version of a Uproc (in the application or integration area only). Its syntax is as follows:

uxscv UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version]

The command uxrls UPR unlocks a Uproc. Its syntax is as follows:

uxrls UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version]

The command uxext UPR extracts the complete definition of a Uproc (with its CL if this was declared internal). Its syntax is as follows:

uxext UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] [REPL] [ENABLE|NOENABLE] [NOVERIF] OUTPUT=filename

The command uxins UPR inserts the complete definition of a Uproc in the corresponding Dollar Universe files (with its CL). Its syntax is as follows:

uxins UPR UPR=uproc [VUPR=version] [REPL] [ENABLE|NOENABLE] INPUT=filename

• If Uprocs were extracted from production or simulation areas (version 000), they can be inserted in integration or application areas by prior definition of the new value of the Uproc version (S_VUPR_REINSERT node setting, Command Interface Settings category):

  S_VUPR_REINSERT=XYZ

  XYZ is the new value of the Uproc version. It should be at least 001 to be inserted in integration or application areas.

• All the following insertion commands will use this setting to define the version of the inserted Uprocs (whatever the target area).

  (Optional) Flag for the condition to be checked by the launcher only if the conditional Uproc is scheduled / executed, taking into account the submission account / session / MU and processing date elements. If the event is not present and if this launch is not scheduled, the condition is completely ignored (avoids waiting for a job that will not take place). Refer to the Reference Guide for full description.

• PDATE=

  (Optional) Processing date control. Specifies the required offset between the conditioned Uproc processing date and that of the conditioning Uproc or resource.

    For example PDATE=(+1,-1,) for a functional period of DAY may be translated by: day +1, month –1, same year.
  • SAME: The same processing date (globally) is required; if the control is required on the same calendar unit, a white character may be used in the triplet.
  • ANY: The control should not take account of the processing date; if the control is not required on a particular calendar unit, the letter "a" may be used in the triplet.
    For example, PDATE=(a, , ) can be translated by: at any day in the same month and the same year.

  (Optional) Target Management units. Used only for dependency or resource conditions, in cases where checking of the Management units is directed at an MU type or a HDP.

  • ONE means that the condition is expected on at least one of the targeted Management units.
  • ALL implies that the condition is expected on all of the Management units targeted.

  Default: ALL

• SESS=

  (Optional) Control by session. Indicates for which session the condition must be sought.

  • ANY: the check does not consider the notion of session.
  • SAME: the check applies to any execution of the same session.

  (Optional) Resource allocation.

  • UNLOCK: The conditioned Uproc receives only those quotas defined in the condition (default value). Other Uprocs conditioned on this resource may run, depending on the quotas available.
  • LOCK: The conditioned Uproc assigns itself the totality of the resource during its execution and no other Uproc conditioned by this resource will be able to run. If the resource condition is declared as UNLOCK on a resource defined as "LOCK", the behavior will be identical.

  Default: UNLOCK

  #, =, <, >, <=, >=

• VALUE=

  (Optional) Used for FIL type resources. ATTRIB Attribute value sought.

• QT1= and QT2=

  (Optional) Quotas required. If using a condition and a resource declared as "UNLOCK", during condition-checking the launcher verifies whether the quotas expressed in the condition are effectively available. If they are, the Uproc will be submitted for execution and will block the corresponding quotas. Several Uprocs may thus share a given resource.
  Format: Numeric value between 0 and 9999.

  (Optional) Behavior if the target file exists: REPLACE, APPEND (FTP_PUT only), ABORT or NONE.

  Default: ABORT

• CRLF | NOCRLF

  (Optional) CR characters conversion. Not available for FTP_PUT.

  • CRLF: Converts all CR characters to LF during ASCII transfer.
  • NOCRLF: No conversion by default except for submissions.

  Default: NOCRLF

• DELETE | NODELETE

  (Optional) Origin file deletion

  • DELETE: Deletes the origin file if the transfer is successful.
  • NODELETE: Keep the origin file if the transfer is successful.

  Default: NODELETE:

• NEWER | NONEWER

  (Optional) Check on the file date

  • NEWER: Transfers the file if its modification date is later than the target file.
  • NONEWER: Transfer the file whatever its date.

  Default: NONEWER

  Warning! This option is not supported by SFTP by default. To see if SFTP has been configured, see the node setting U_FT_SFTP U_FT_SFTP value.

• RECURSIVE | NORECURSIVE

  (Optional) Transferred files

  • RECURSIVE: Transfers whole files and sub directories of the ORIGIN_PATHNAME (the ORIGIN_FILENAME and the TARGET_FILENAME must not be edited). The recursion depth limit is set to 150 directories.
  • NORECURSIVE: Transfers files from the current directory.

  Default: NORECURSIVE.

  The RECURSIVE option uses the FTP LIST command internally to get a list of files and directories on the remote server. The expected server answer must be formatted so each line starts with the file permissions in UNIX format. Since this answer varies from a server to another, the feature will not work if the answer has a different format. Should this happen, a fail-over option is available: it tests each single file on the specified remote server location with a FTP CWD command to check the existence of a directory. The fail-over option is less performing but it can be enabled with the U_FT_GET_DIR_FAILOVER node setting in the "Node Settings – FTP Settings" category.

• UMASK=

  (Optional) Mask applied to local file permissions.
  Format: 3 numerical characters.

  • FTP_GET Uprocs: If UMASK is not set or set to 000, files are downloaded with 666 permissions by default (for a root user) or 640 (for a non-root user). Otherwise, file permissions are obtained by subtracting UMASK from the default value (666 or 640).
  • FTP_PUT Uprocs: UMASK is not available. On UNIX OS, files are uploaded with their original permissions. On Windows, files are uploaded with 755 permissions (the octal permissions doesn't natively exists for Windows).
