The reason tpcped did not behave properly was because the RUNDB had not been updated. The runinfo files were still on disk waiting to be transferred. In this particular case it was due to a mistake on my side - when changing the dbStore script to be able to bypass certain error conditions in the disk- stored info , an error was introduced. It may though be a good lesson, since it is in fact NOT guarenteed that RUNDB has been updated when the tpcped is run. Thus the changes beeing worked in by the Bergen crew is a good thing. ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory tlf: 631-344-4106 fax 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ion-Sorin Zgura" <zis@rcf2.rhic.bnl.gov> To: <brahms-soft-l@bnl.gov> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 9:18 AM Subject: tcped - wrong ? > > Dear friends, > > It seems a little strange that when I executes the program tpced.
