Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. On the NCEP METviewer server, I tried to run a batch plot job:
cd /metviewer/staging/wd22yl/sudo.scripts
/usr1/metviewer/metviewer/bin/mv_batch.sh plt_rgl_ets.xml
Output is just this:
---- MVBatch ----
input file: plt_rgl_ets.xml
** ERROR: null
---- MVBatch Done ----
How can I find out what's wrong? I've run batch plots before and know
that when it runs the output would look like
---- MVBatch ----
input file: ....*.xml
processing 1 jobs:
Running 3 plots
Begin time: ....
etc. (lots of output follows)
I tried to compare the above script with one that does work (e.g.
/metviewer/staging/wd22yl/sudo.scripts/scripts.worked/plt_201709-11_052km_020.0mm.xml)
but can't see what the problem is. It's probably something obvious but
after two days looking at it I'm still not going anywhere. Would you
mind taking a look at this? Attached is the xml (same as at
/metviewer/staging/wd22yl/sudo.scripts/). Maybe a fresh pair of eyes
would spot the problem right away.
Thank you.
Ying

Hi Ying,
You an unusual date format in your XML:
<format>yyyy-MMd-d HH:mm:ss</format>
did you mean:
<format>yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss</format> ?

Hi Tatiana,
Yes, thank you very much for spotting that!
I fixed it, but now am getting the exact same error message:
------------------------------------------------------
/usr1/metviewer/metviewer/bin/mv_batch.sh plt_rgl_ets.xml
---- MVBatch ----
input file: plt_rgl_ets.xml
** ERROR: null
---- MVBatch Done ----
Total execution time 0:00:01.654
------------------------------------------------------
I re-read the plt_rgl_ets.xml again to see if there's another error
and
nothing jumped out at me (it must be something that I overlooked but I
don't know enough to figure out what it is). Any other ideas? Does
the
mv_batch.sh have a "verbose" mode? I tried running it with the
"-printSql" but it didn't make a difference - I suppose it died and
existed before it got that far.
Thanks again,
Ying

Hi Tatiana,
Thanks! I made the change, but it didn't make any difference
when
running mv_batch.sh. What are the rules with the number ('1', 2'
etc.)
at the end of the set_name?
Also, has there been changes in the MV server about the "History"
window on the left (the part where one (used to) clicks on an
interactive plot, and could retrieve the xml that produces it? I see
now one can choose between All/Success, but when I choose "Success",
then click on the timestamp, nothing happens (see attached
screenshot).
I've tried it on both a Linux workstation and our RDAPP remote Windows
machine. How does one retrieve an older plot/xml under this new set
up? The one I'm looking for is 20190311_190242 - earlier this week
when
the plt_rgl_ets.xml didn't work, I went and made an interactive plot.
I
saved the R file at the time but didn't save the xml.
Thanks again,
Ying

Ying,
The reason you can't see the buttons to view old XML and images is
that one of the older plots have a long name.
To see the buttons, enlarge the History area by starching it with the
mouse. See attached screenshot
I 'm working on XML problem.

I connected to vm-lnx-metviewdev-process1 and edited
/metviewer/staging/wd22yl/sudo.scripts/plt_rgl_ets.xml:
-use date_range instead of date_list <date_range name="vtimes"/>
-simplify plot_fix by removing <set> tags
I run the batch with this command:
~/metviewer/bin/mv_batch.sh
/metviewer/staging/wd22yl/sudo.scripts/plt_rgl_ets.xml
The plots were created.

Thank you Tatiana!
I see that you got rid of the 'set' tag for the vx_mask (I copied over
a
lot of things from an xml that made a successful plot, and didn't
understand what the 'set' tags are for), in addition to changing the
"date_list" to "date_range". I ran the script and (as you did) got a
plot from it that looks reasonable. Thank you so much for your
patience! This problem had plagued me for days.
Also thanks for telling me to widen/resize the "history" area to see
the png and xml icons again. The culprit (the plot with the long
name)
