3.3.3 - Build Local Files
Action Option -BL (-BuildLocal) (Alias: -BuildLocalfile) :
(Alias: -BuildLocalFile) validates and converts remote files and builds local files.
Available Mode options:
works with -BP (-BatchProcess) to allow the recorded dsupdt command to start from any directory |
|
runs in the background; suppresses screen output and errors |
|
allows the end date/hour to be processed even if it falls within the current update period |
|
sends email only when an error occurs during local file building |
|
forces a build for at least one end date/time, even if the update is not yet due |
|
uses GMT dates/times as controlling times |
|
advances time tracking to hours after a successful local file build |
|
works with -MU (-MultipleUpdate) to skip build errors and continue with remaining local files |
|
copies rather than moves the remote file to the local file location, preserving the remote file on disk |
|
enables detailed logging when -PL is present |
|
builds only files that have not yet been archived |
|
builds across all available update periods; without this option, only one period is processed |
|
suppresses post-build email notification |
|
skips February 29 in leap years |
|
stops all builds for the dataset on the first error, rather than skipping and continuing |
|
uses the period’s beginning time instead of the end time when substituting temporal patterns |
If specialist-defined validation and conversion routines are configured, this action invokes them. When local and remote files are identical, no action is taken. Otherwise, standard compress/uncompress and tar/untar utilities handle one-to-one, many-to-one, and one-to-many conversions. Local files are the final, archive-ready output.
When a local file already exists on disk, the build action for that file is skipped. To rebuild, remove the existing local file manually.
