Goal
On this page, we explain how to publish gap with the EMI3 apel.
Where to find the results of the apel sync tests ?
These results are available here.
How to activate the gap publisher ?
Log in on apel and modify the config file /etc/apel/client.cfg following the explanations given in commented lines :
# Which records to send: # latest - just send the new records to the server # gap - send records from between the specified dates (inclusive) # this is only for individual job records # all - send all records to the server. Don't do this for individual # job records without talking to the apel team! interval = latest ## only used if interval = gap #gap_start = 2012-01-01 #gap_end = 2012-01-31
So, let's say that there is a gap in April 2014. We must the change the config so that it contains :
interval = gap gap_start = 2014-04-01 gap_end = 2014-04-30
Then, you can just wait for the apelclient to be started by cron, or you can run it manually with the following command :
date --iso-8601=seconds --utc; /usr/bin/apelclient) >> /var/log/apelclient.log 2>&1
When it's done, don't forget to put back interval to 'latest' and to comment gap_start and gap_end.
