Environment

OS: All

Cause

A corruption of the DQM data files

Resolution

- Note down the names and properties of the DQM queues on the node (see UVC > Design Tab > Environment > Batch queues)
- In the command line, load the Dollar Universe environment (. ./unienv.ksh or unienv.bat)
- Stop the node ($UNI_DIR_EXEC/unistop or %UNI_DIR_EXEC%\unistop)
- Rename the following files in the directory /data/ in order to reset the DQM queues:
u_jobfile.dta
u_jobfile.idx
u_prmfile.dta
u_prmfile.idx
u_quefile.dta
u_quefile.idx

- Remove any files with the extension *.dta_rst
- Restart the node ($UNI_DIR_EXEC/unistart or %UNI_DIR_EXEC%\unistart)
- Recreate the DQM queues from UVC or with the help of a script.
