How to find old recovery files on Abinitio production boxes?


Can any one throw some light on the process of finding old recovery files in abinitio production boxes


Solution

  • Ab Initio's Co>Op creates recovery files in the working directory as *jobname***.rec**

    So if you have an idea where the graphs/psets were executed from, you could simply do a find:

    find . -name \*.rec

    Or if you have access to the AbIntio log files from the old executed jobs, you could grep them for this:

    ABINITIO: Job may be closed and recovery file deleted by: m_rollback -d <working directory path>/<jobname>.rec

    which shows the name of the recovery file it created.
