Name¶
condor_convert_history Convert - the history file to the new format
Synopsis¶
condor_convert_history[-help]
condor_convert_historyhistory-file1[history-file2...]
Description¶
As of Condor version 6.7.19, the Condor history file has a new format to allow
fast searches backwards through the file. Not all queries can take advantage
of the speed increase, but the ones that can are significantly faster.
Entries placed in the history file after upgrade to Condor 6.7.19 will
automatically be saved in the new format. The new format adds information to
the string which distinguishes and separates job entries. In order to search
within this new format, no changes are necessary. However, to be able to
search the entire history, the history file must be converted to the updated
format. condor_convert_historydoes this.
Turn the condor_schedddaemon off while converting history files. Turn it back on
after conversion is completed.
Arguments to condor_convert_historyare the history files to convert. The history
file is normally in the Condor spool directory; it is named history . Since
the history file is rotated, there may be multiple history files, and all of
them should be converted. On Unix platform variants, the easiest way to do
this is:
cd `condor_config_val SPOOL`
condor_convert_history history*
condor_convert_historymakes a back up of each original history files in case of
a problem. The names of these back up files are listed; names are formed by
appending the suffix .oldver to the original file name. Move these back up
files to a directory other than the spool directory. If kept in the spool
directory, condor_historywill find the back ups, and will appear to have
duplicate jobs.
Exit Status¶
condor_convert_historywill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success,
and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
