command examples

23.1 setup¶

Issue the setup command
for a product prior to invoking the product. The setup command
performs the necessary operations in your login environment to make
an installed, declared product instance accessible to you.
Typically, the operations include modifying environment variables
or adding to your $PATH.

23.1.4 More Detailed
Description¶

In general, UPS products require that the setup command be
issued on a product instance before invoking it (unless it is a
dependent product of one that is already setup). The setup
processes are intended to make the appropriate changes to the user's
software environment to make the requested product
available for use.

Only one instance of a product
can be setup at a time. Each time you run setup on an
additional instance of the same product, the previously active
instance is automatically unsetup first.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
If necessary, process
UNSETUP action
Process SETUP
action
Source the temp
file

Environment Variables
Set by Default During setup¶

When an instance is setup,
either or both of the two environment variables
$<PRODUCT>_DIR and $SETUP_<PRODUCT> may get defined. By
default, both do.
$<PRODUCT>_DIRpoints to the root directory of the product instance selected
by the setup command$SETUP_<PRODUCT>a string containing all the information that the unsetup command
needs in order to identify the instance when it is time to remove
access to the product
p<>. In both of them,
<PRODUCT> is the name of the product in upper case. Using
the product upd (on the fermicloud050) as an example:

% setup upd
% echo $UPD_DIR

/fnal/ups/db/../prd/upd/v4_8_0/NULL

% echo $SETUP_UPD

upd v4_8_0 -f NULL -z /fnal/ups/db

Use of the
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> Variable by unsetup¶

unsetup uses the
environment variable $SETUP_<PRODUCT>, by default, to
determine which instance to unsetup. If this variable was not set during product setup (i.e., the setup default
functions were not run, or setupEnv() was not run), then when you run unsetup , you
must specify on the command line which instance to unsetup; running
simply unsetup
<product> causes no action to be taken. See Use of the $SETUP_<PRODUCT> Variable under section 23.2 unsetup for more information regarding the unsetup command.

23.1.5 setup
Examples¶

In the following examples, when we say that all dependencies of a
product get set up, we mean all except optional dependencies that
are unavailable.

Setup default instance
of product¶

% setup git

This sets up the current
instance of the product git for the best match flavor of your OS. If the product
has any dependencies, they get setup too, by default.

% setup -v git

This command sets up the same
instance as above, but displays verbose information (usually used
for debugging, but useful to see what's going on). If any file that
is "opened for read" does not exist, you'll see ERROR at the end of the line. This
is often but not always a fatal error. The output looks like
this:

UPSMAT: Searching UPS database - /fnal/ups/db
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/.upsfiles/dbconfig - Open file for read
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/.upsfiles/dbconfig - Read 6 item(s)
UPSMAT: Looking for Product = git
UPSMAT: Matching with Chain - current
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/git/current.chain - Open file for read
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/git/current.chain - Read 2 item(s)
UPSMAT:  get_instance: flavor Linux64bit+2.6-2.12 quals
Found one!
First post!
UPSMAT: Found 1 instances in /fnal/ups/db/git/current.chain
UPSMAT: Matching with Version v1_8_5_3 in Product git
UPSMAT: Using Flavor = Linux64bit+2.6-2.12, and Qualifiers =
(and much more)

Restrict the setup of
dependent products¶

% setup -R ruby

Use of the -R option sets
up the specified product and its required dependencies only.

% setup -j ruby

Use of the -j option sets
up only the specified product; none of its dependencies get
setup.

Setup a chained instance
(other than the default "current")¶

% setup -t prod1
% setup -g test prod1

Either of these commands sets
up the instance of prod1 chained to "test" (for the default flavor). To setup any
chained instance other than current, include the chain flag in the
command.

Setup a product
specifying its version¶

% setup prod1 v5_23a

This command sets up version
v5_23a of prod1 whether or not it has a chain. Run a ups list command
to get the version information.

Setup a product declared
with qualifiers¶

% setup -q BUILD prod1

This command sets up the
current instance of prod1 for the operating system on which you're working,
along with its build dependencies (assuming the qualifier BUILD has
been implemented in the product files in the standard way, see
section 17.2.3 Products Requiring Build (In-House and
Third-Party) ).

Remember that qualifiers are case-sensitive.

Setup a product and
activate extended functionality¶

To setup the instance of
product prod1 chained to development, and all of prod1 's dependencies, and to activate extended setup
actions, enter:

% setup -d -e prod1

The -e option sets
$UPS_EXTENDED on for prod1 and for any of its UPS product requirements that were declared with the -e option. This is used to activate any extended functionality the
product provider may have included in the setup action for this
instance (e.g., defining extra environment variables).

23.2 unsetup¶

The unsetup command
makes the specified product no longer available for use. It undoes
the changes made to the environment by setup . You may
need to explicitly unsetup a UPS product if you are short on environment variable space
and want to get rid of extra environment variables or shorten the
$PATH variable length; otherwise you typically don't need to run
this command.

23.2.1 Command
Syntax¶

% unsetup [<options>] <product> [<version>]

23.2.2 All Valid

Typically, this command is
issued with no options.

23.2.3 More Detailed
Description¶

unsetup is
intended to undo the changes to your software environment made
during product setup. It makes the product no longer available for
use. You may need to explicitly unsetup a UPS product if you are short on environment variable space
and want to get rid of extra environment variables or shorten the
$PATH variable length. Unsetup gets done automatically for you when
you setup a different instance of the same product.

When you no longer need to
access a product, in most cases you can simply type:

% unsetup <product>

for example:

% unsetup prod1

Sometimes this isn't
sufficient. The $SETUP_<PRODUCT> variable governs the
behavior, as described below.

Use of the
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> Variable¶

unsetup uses the
environment variable $SETUP_<PRODUCT>, by default, to
determine which instance to unsetup. If this variable was not set during product setup (i.e., the setup default
functions were not run, or setupEnv() was not run), then you must specify on the
command line which instance to unsetup; running simply unsetup
<product> causes no action to be taken.

If $SETUP_<PRODUCT> has
been set (the usual case), it is best to run unsetup with no
options (except possibly -j as discussed
below). If any instance-identifying information besides product
name is specified on the unsetup command
line, this information gets ignored.

Behavior of unsetup for
Product Dependencies¶

The behavior of unsetup as
regards product dependencies depends upon a couple of factors:

whether an UNSETUP
action exists in the main product's table file
whether
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> has been defined for the product
dependency

If ACTION=UNSETUP is defined
for the main product, then:

if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with no instance-identifying information (e.g., unsetupRequired
(<dep_product>) only; no options or version), and if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the dependency, unsetup will be
run on the instance identified by $SETUP_<PRODUCT>.
if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with no instance-identifying information (e.g., unsetupRequired
(<dep_product>) only; no options or version), and if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is not defined for the dependency, no unsetup will be
performed for the dependency.
if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with some instance-identifying information
(e.g., unsetupRequired -q
"build" <dep_product> ), then unsetup is run
on this specified instance of the product dependency; if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the dependency, it is
ignored.

If ACTION=UNSETUP is not defined for the main product, then:

if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the product dependency, then unsetup will be
run on the instance identified by $SETUP_<PRODUCT>.
if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is not defined for the dependency, no unsetup will be
performed for the dependency.

If you use the -j option in the unsetup command
of the main product, only the main product gets unsetup; its
product dependencies are left untouched.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
Process UNSETUP
action
Source the temp
file

The UNSETUP default functions
are to undo the default SETUP functions (i.e., unset
$<PRODUCT>_DIR and $SETUP_<PRODUCT>).

Note: If there is no UNSETUP
action, then unsetup undoes
everything done in SETUP action. However, if SETUP includes
non-reversible functions, these cannot be undone by unsetup .

23.2.4 unsetup
Examples¶

% unsetup lxr

This command unsets the product lxr . When you no longer need to access a product, in most
cases you can simply use the product name to identify it.

% unsetup -j ruby

The -j option in
this command causes UPS to unsetup the product, while leaving all its dependencies setup.

23.3 ups configure¶

For any product instance whose
table file includes a CONFIGURE action, the ups configure command executes this action. A CONFIGURE action usually includes
functions to construct symbolic links, copy files, or perform
automatic local customization of the product. The ups configure command gets run by default by ups declare when
the product is initially declared to a database (see section 23.5 ups declare , in particular the -C option), but
can be run manually as needed (e.g., on nodes of different
flavors).

23.3.1 Command

% ups configure [<options>] <product> [<version>]

23.3.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Installation/configuration
procedures that can be completely automated are typically collected
in the table file in a CONFIGURE action ( actions are described in Chapter 34: Actions and ACTION Keyword Values ), or in a script
called configure which
is called from the table file. The configuration may involve
creating links to the product root directory from other areas. If
the area is not identical for each machine flavor accessing the UPS database in which the product instance has been declared
(i.e., the same path but separate areas), then you will need to run
the ups
configure command manually once per flavor, on a node of
that flavor. If each node mounts a unique area, you generally have
to run special commands (e.g., ups install , ups
initialize , etc.) that are documented in the product's INSTALL_NOTE file. If
you are not sure whether you need to configure a product instance
on each flavor/node, look through the configuration steps in the
table file to see what they do.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
Process CONFIGURE
action
Execute temp file

23.3.5 ups configure
Examples¶

Assuming prod1
is a product that requires ups configure to
be run manually for each machine flavor in a cluster. The sample
command, which should be issued from a machine of flavor Linux+2
runs the CONFIGURE action in the table file associated with the
product prod1 , version v1_6_4 for flavor Linux+2.

% ups configure prod1 v1_6_4 -f Linux+2

A
command like this, but with the appropriate flavor, must be run for
each machine flavor represented in the cluster.

23.4 ups copy¶

The ups copy command
was designed as a UPS product development tool allowing a new instance of a
product to be declared "like" another.

23.4.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups copy -G "<ups_declare_options> <product> <version>" \ [<options>] <product> <version>

23.4.4 Options Valid
with -G¶

In order to distinguish the
target product instance from the source, the declarations for the
two instances must differ by at least one instance-identifying
element. The -G option
provides the means to specify the target instance identifiers; it
takes a list of ups declare command line elements as an argument. Any identifier not specified
via -G retains the
value of the source instance. The elements valid for use with -G include <product> , <version> and the following subset of the ups declare options:

-A
<nodeList> , -c , -d , -D
<origin> , -f
<flavor> , -g
<chainName> , -n , -o , -O
"<flagList>" , -p
"<description>" , -q
<qualifierList> , -t , -z
<databaseList> , -0 , -1 , -2 , -3 , -4

See section 23.5 ups declare for details on each option. If the argument
to -G includes the
product version, the product name must be included ahead of the
version; the first unflagged element is always interpreted as the
product name and the second as the version.

23.4.5 More Detailed
Description¶

The command ups copy is
intended mainly for product developers declaring new instances on
their development systems. It simplifies declaration of new
instances of products that already exist in a UPS database. There is no restriction against using ups
copy to copy the installation of a different product,
however it's usually not particularly helpful in that
situation.

Notes:

ups copy runs ups
declare if you use the -X (uppercase -x )
option; if not used, the declare command is just echoed.
Use the -G option to
specify declaration information that is to be different from the
installation you're using as a model. At least one
instance-identifying element must be specified using -G to
distinguish the source from the target instance.
If you use the option -W ,
you will pick up the current environment. For example, if the
previously declared instance depends on v1_0 of some product (e.g., joe v1_0), but the new instance should have joe v2_0 as a dependency, first run setup joe v2_0 ,
then run ups copy with -W .

Internal Processes¶

Process COPY
action
Create a table file
entry for new instance (may use environment for UPS product requirements)
If simulation only,
write table file entry to temp and echo appropriate declare
command
Otherwise, write/merge
in table file and declare new instance (see ups declare internals)
Execute temp file

23.4.6 ups copy
Examples¶

% ups copy dog v1 -G "dog v3 -f Linux+2 -q test -m v3.table -M ups\ 
-r /path/to/dog/v3"

This command runs a ups
copy command for dog version v3, without the -X option so
that the ups declare command just gets echoed, not executed. The -G argument here
gives the product name and version plus options to be used by the ups
declare command: the flavor ( -f Linux+2 ), a
qualifier ( -q test ), the
table file name and location (given via -m and -M ),
and the product root directory (given via -r ). The command
output looks like this:

/var/tmp/baaa006ni_table_dog 
ups declare dog v3 -f "Linux+2" -q "test" -r "/path/to/dog/v3"\
 -U "ups" -m "v3.table" -M "ups"

The second command is
identical to the first example except that the -X option
instructs it to execute the ups declare command:

% ups copy dog v1 -G "dog v3 -f Linux+2 -q test -r /path/to/dog/v3 \ 
-M ups -m v3.table" -X

23.5 ups declare¶

The ups declare command is used for two separate purposes:

to initially
declare an instance to a database (and optionally add a chain at
the same time)
to add a chain
to a previously declared instance

23.5.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Declaring an Instance
for the First Time¶

In the ups declare command:

-C prevents
execution of the CONFIGURE action, if any, and is normally not
included. The default (and usually desired) behavior is to execute
the CONFIGURE action.
You must include a
flavor specification, there is no default flavor when a product is
first declared. It sets the value of the FLAVOR keyword.
Most products require a table file. The table
file must exist before running ups declare . In
most cases you need to include the table file name ( -m ). (Since in a
very few cases a table file isn't required, -m is not a
strictly required option.)
If the product's table
file was placed in either of the two default locations (under /path/to/database/<product> or in the product's ups directory), then -M
<table_file_dir> is not needed. Only use the -M option if you have moved the table file to a separate location
where UPS won't otherwise find it.
In most cases you need
to include product root directory ( -r ). Exceptions
include wrapper products which consist only of a table file, and
thus have no product root directory.
If the product's ups directory tar file
was unwound in the default location ( $<PRODUCT>_DIR/ups ), then -U
<ups_dir> is not needed. If the ups directory is located elsewhere
(or named differently), this specification must be included. In
general, you should not include this qualifier.
If you choose not to
specify the target database explicitly ( -z
<database> ), UPS chooses it automatically via the $PRODUCTS variable. If
$PRODUCTS points to multiple databases, you need to be a little
careful about database selection. The database matching algorithm
is described in section 27.1 Database Selection Algorithm .
p<>. If the product has
dependencies that are declared in different databases, UPS must be able to find all of them in order to resolve the
dependencies. You can rely on $PRODUCTS if all the necessary
databases are included in it. Otherwise specify them on the command
line (e.g., -z
<database1>:<database2>:...> or -z
$PRODUCTS:<database1>:<database2>:... ).

You may include chain
information on this command. See the description below.

Adding Chains to an
Existing Instance¶

When you add one or more chains
to an existing instance, UPS doesn't allow you to change anything else about that
instance. Regarding the options to specify:

You of course need to
specify the chain or chains to add using either -g
<chain_name> or one of -c , -d , -n , -o , -t .
-C prevents the
corresponding chain action(s) in the table file from being
executed.
You do not strictly need
to specify flavor. UPS will default to the best flavor match (described in
section 27.2.4 Flavor and Qualifier Matching Algorithm ). You can
override the default using -f or a valid number
(.
Specify qualifiers
( -q )
as necessary to select the appropriate instance (in any order) .
Specify the database
( -z )
as necessary to select the appropriate instance.

23.5.5 ups declare
Examples¶

Declare a product with
no chain using defaults where possible¶

% ups declare myprod v1_0 -f Linux+2 -m myprod.table \ 
            -r /path/to/myprod/v1_0/Linux+2

UPS finds the product in the directory given by the -r option, and
declares it to a database in $PRODUCTS according to the selection
algorithm discussed in 27.1 Database Selection Algorithm . The product instance gets
declared with the specified name, version and flavor, and no
qualifiers. UPS looks for the table file, called myprod.table in the two default
locations (command fails if table file doesn't exist, or is not
found in either location).

Declare a product with
no chain using defaults where possible¶

% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -g test -m myprod2.table \
           -r myprod2/v1_0/FictionalOS+a -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS

For this example, we assume the
local machine flavor is FictionalOS+a.b. UPS finds the product in the directory given by the -r option. The specified path is taken relative to PROD_DIR_PREFIX. UPS declares the product to one of the listed databases
according to the selection algorithm discussed in 27.1 Database Selection Algorithm . Each of the dependencies,
if any, must exist in at least one of the listed databases.

The product instance gets
declared with the specified name, version, no qualifiers, and the
chain "test". The flavor declaration is the level -2 specification
of the machine, namely FictionalOS+a. UPS looks for the table file, called myprod2.table in the two default
locations (command fails if table file doesn't exist, or is not
found in either location).

Add a chain to a
previously declared instance¶

% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -g test -m myprod2.table \  
         -r myprod2/v1_0/FictionalOS+a -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS
% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -c -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS

This command declares the
product instance of the previous example "current" (via the -c option). Generally, a product is first declared as "test", and then
after a "debugging period" (often several weeks), an updated
release is cut and chained to "current". Notes:

In most UPS/UPD commands you specify either chain (often defaulted
to "current") or version. Here you need both: the version is
required to identify the instance, and the chain is required
because it is being assigned.
You should specify the
database /my/local/db first since that's how it was initially declared. UPS will traverse the databases in the same order to find
the right instance.

23.6 ups depend¶

The ups depend command lists product dependencies of the specified product
instance(s) as declared in the (local) database. On user nodes it
is generally used to determine what products will get setup along
with the "parent" product. UPD uses it on product servers to determine what
dependencies to install.

23.7.4 More Detailed
Description¶

The ups exist command is used to test whether a setup command
issued with the same command line elements is likely to succeed. As
for all the UPS/UPD commands, if the setup command
finds a corresponding action in the selected table file, it

translates the
functions listed under the action into shell commands,
writes them to
a temporary script in $TMPDIR (if $TMPDIR isn't set, the default is /tmp ), and
invokes the
script to execute the shell commands.

ups exist checks
for a properly declared matching instance, and verifies that you
have the necessary permissions to create the temporary script. If
so, it creates the script, but it does not execute it.

ups
exist sets the $? variable to 0 if it was able to create the
temporary file, or to 1 for error.

This command is rarely used
from the command line, and is more useful in scripts where a failed
setup could cause the script to abort. When issued from the command
line, it returns no output if the command succeeds.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
If necessary, process
UNSETUP action
Simulate SETUP
action

23.7.5 ups exist
Examples¶

ups
exist sets the $? variable to 0 if it was able to create the
temporary file, or to 1 for error. As an example, we can run ups list and
find that there is a current instance of the product prod1 for the flavor FictionalOS+a but not for FictionalOS+a.b. Running ups
exist for each flavor, we see that the variables get set
accordingly.

$ ups exist prod1 -f FictionalOS+a; echo $?

$ ups exist prod1 -f FictionalOS+a.b; echo $?

23.8 ups flavor¶

The ups flavor command with no options returns the flavor of the machine. If a
flavor level is specified (e.g., -0 , -1 ...), it
returns the flavor according to that level. ups flavor generates a flavor table if the -H option is
used. The flavor levels and the term flavor table are defined in section 23.8.4 More Detailed Description .

23.8.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups flavor [<options>]

23.8.4 More Detailed
Description¶

The ups flavor command returns flavor information about the machine issuing the
command, or for a flavor requested via the -H option. When
entered with no options, the command returns the full OS
specification of the machine.

When entered with the -l (long) option, ups flavor returns what we call a flavor table , which is a list including every level of
specificity for a flavor that you could use to find or declare a
product instance. For example, on novagpvm02, it
outputs:

% ups flavor -l

Linux64bit+2.6-2.5
Linux64bit+2.6-2.4
Linux64bit+2.6-2.3
Linux64bit+2.6-2.2
Linux64bit+2.6-2.1
Linux64bit+2.6-2.0
Linux+2.6-2.5
(and many more)
NULL
ANY

If -H
<flavor> is used with -l , ups flavor builds a flavor table for the flavor given by -H . This is
useful if you're not sure what levels are allowable for a
particular basic flavor. The flavor table lists flavors starting at
the level you specify. Compare the following two commands and
output:

% ups flavor -lH FictionalOS+a.6

FictionalOS+a.6
FictionalOS+a.5
FictionalOS+a.4
FictionalOS+a.3
FictionalOS+a.b
FictionalOS+a.1
FictionalOS+a.0
FictionalOS+a
FictionalOS
NULL
ANY

% ups flavor -lH FictionalOS

FictionalOS
NULL
ANY

You can specify a particular
level using the number options, with the highest number being the
most specific.

23.8.5 ups flavor
Examples¶

Find full flavor
specification of machine¶

% ups flavor

This command returns the full
OS specification of the machine up to the build number for the patch
(when these levels of specification exist), for example:

Linux64bit+2.6-2.5

Create a flavor table
for machine's OS¶

% ups flavor -l

This command returns a flavor
table for the flavor of the machine. For example, on a (fictional)
Linux+2.6 machine it outputs:

Linux+2.6.1-4
Linux+2.6.1
Linux+2.6
Linux+2
Linux
NULL
ANY

Find flavor
specification of machine, at different levels¶

% ups flavor -4

The -4 option
requests the machine's flavor as the most significant OS
specification or the full specification, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6.1

% ups flavor -3

The -3 option
requests the machine's flavor as basic OS and version and release, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6

The -2 option
requests the machine's flavor as basic OS and version, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6

% ups flavor -1

The -1 option
requests the machine's flavor as the OS value up to the generic OS,
e.g.,:

Linux

% ups flavor -0

This always returns the NULL
string.

Create a flavor table
for host flavor, at different levels¶

% ups flavor -lH FictionalOS+a.6

This creates a flavor table
listing flavors starting at the level specified via -H , in this case
"level 3":

FictionalOS+a.6
FictionalOS+a
FictionalOS
NULL
ANY

% ups flavor -lH FictionalOS+a

This creates a flavor table
listing flavors starting at the level specified via -H , in this case
"level 2":

FictionalOS+a
FictionalOS
NULL
ANY

23.9 ups get¶

The ups get command
is rarely used by anyone except product developers/maintainers. It
t just scans the all actions for a product (setup, etc. in the table file) and looks
for things that are files, and lists them.

The ups get command
was designed primarily for use by UPD , which calls it internally. As such it is rarely used
outside of that context.

23.9.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups get -F [<other_options>] <product> [<version>]

23.11.4 More Detailed
Description¶

ups list is
useful for finding out what products are in the database that you
use, what the current version of a product is for your machine's
flavor, and other information. Product installers and other
administrative users can use it to get detailed information about a
product's installation and to find product files.

You can specify the information
you want contained in the output by including various options in
the command. As is standard in UPS , if no chain, version or flavor is specified, and -a (for all instances) is not specified, UPS returns only the instance declared as current for the
best-matched flavor of the requesting machine.

Formatted Output
Style¶

One output style is for visual
parsing (this is the default output, which we call formatted ), with output that looks like:

%  ups list git

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Notice that the product name,
version, flavor, qualifiers and chain(s) are the default fields
that get returned. The database (first line of the output) is
included as a header, not as part of the per-instance data. Each
piece of data returned for an instance is preceded by its keyword
for identification.

You cannot choose arbitrary
output fields for the selected instances using this output format.
However, you can use the -l option to
give an exhaustive listing of information contained in the UPS database about the requested product.

If $PRODUCTS contains multiple
databases, output is returned for each one and labelled
accordingly, for example:

% ups list git

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Notice that more than one instance
of the product may exist for a given database.

Condensed Output
Style¶

The other output format is a
script-readable (or condensed ) format, provided to allow parsing by a subsequent
command. Use the -K option to
request output in the condensed format. The -K option
requires an argument list specifying which fields to include in the
output, for example:

% ups list -K product:version:flavor git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2"

The plus sign ( ) argument,
e.g., -K , is a
shorthand for requesting the default fields product:version:flavor:qualifiers:chain ,
for example:

% ups list -K+ git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current"

Some common keyword arguments
used with the -K option
are:

Table 23.11.4-a:Table 23.11.4-a:

PRODUCT PRODUCT	product name product name
FLAVOR FLAVOR	product instance flavor product instance flavor
VERSION VERSION	product version product version
QUALIFIERS QUALIFIERS	additional instance specification information often used to indicate compilation options used by developer additional instance specification information often used to indicate compilation options used by developer
CHAIN CHAIN	product instance chain product instance chain
+ +	all of the above all of the above
DATABASE (or DB) DATABASE (or DB)	the UPS database path; useful if more than one on system the UPS database path; useful if more than one on system
DECLARER DECLARER	logon id of person who declared the instance logon id of person who declared the instance
DECLARED DECLARED	date/time that product instance was declared date/time that product instance was declared
MODIFIER MODIFIER	logon id of person who modified/updated the instance logon id of person who modified/updated the instance
MODIFIED MODIFIED	date/time that product instance was modified/updated date/time that product instance was modified/updated

If $PRODUCTS contains multiple
databases, output is returned for selected products in all of them.
However, the database is identified for each output line only if
the keyword DATABASE or DB is included in the argument string
(e.g., -K+:DB requests
the standard output fields followed by the database path).

A few of the keywords allow
the "at" symbol, @ to be prepended, which provides a sort of
shorthand for long path names:

Table 23.11.4-b:Table 23.11.4-b:

@PROD_DIR @PROD_DIR	entire path for the directory where the product is installed (usually equivalent to PROD_DIR_PREFIX/PROD_DIR) entire path for the directory where the product is installed (usually equivalent to PROD_DIR_PREFIX/PROD_DIR)
@TABLE_FILE @TABLE_FILE	entire path for the table file entire path for the table file
@UPS_DIR @UPS_DIR	product's ups directory; if it is not an absolute path, then it is taken relative to @PROD_DIR product's ups directory; if it is not an absolute path, then it is taken relative to @PROD_DIR

The full list of keywords that
can be used with ups list -K and upd list
-K follows, with descriptions:

Keyword Keyword	Description Description
ARCHIVE_FILE ARCHIVE_FILE	archive file name/location; useful with upd list archive file name/location; useful with upd list

23.11.5 ups list
Examples¶

List all current
products¶

% ups list

The simplest way to request a
listing of all the current products installed in your default UPS database is to use the ups list command
with no options or arguments. The per-product output spans a few
lines, though, and can be cumbersome, e.g.,:

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=allinea_tools    Version=v4_1_1    Flavor=Linux64bit
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=cetpkgsupport    Version=v1_05_03    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=cmake    Version=v2_8_8    Flavor=Linux64bit+2.6-2.5
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

...

            Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Use of the -K option with
the + argument,
e.g.,

% ups list -K+

provides the same information
as the previous example, but condensed to one line per product:

"allinea_tools" "v4_1_1" "Linux64bit" "" "current" 
"cetpkgsupport" "v1_05_03" "NULL" "" "current" 
"cmake" "v2_8_8" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.5" "" "current" 
...
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux+2" "" "current" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux+2" "" "current"

Instead of using the + argument to get the default fields, you can specify particular
fields:

% ups list -K product:version

This command outputs a list of
product names and version numbers for all the current products
installed in your default UPS database, e.g.,:

"allinea_tools" "v4_1_1" 
"cetpkgsupport" "v1_05_03" 
"cmake" "v2_8_8" 
...
"ups" "v5_0_2" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" 
"ups" "v5_0_2"

List standard
information for default instance of product¶

% ups list nova

This command requests the
standard output fields for the default instance of nova , using the formatted output:

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=nova    Version=v0.1    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Addition of the -K+ construction, e.g.,

% ups list -K+ nova

requests the same information
as the previous example, but in condensed format:

"nova" "v0.1" "NULL" "" "current"

Using -a for all,
e.g.,

List standard
information for all instances of product¶

% ups list -a git

requests the standard output
fields for all instances of git , using the formatted output:

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=git    Version=v1_6_4a    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain="" 

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current
...

           Product=git    Version=v1_8_5_3    Flavor=Linxu+2.6-2.12
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=""

Use of the -K option with
the + argument,
e.g.,

% ups list -aK+ git

requests the same information
as the previous example, but in condensed format ( -K+ ):

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_6_4a" "Linux+2" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.5" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux+2.6-2.5" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.12" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linxu+2.6-2.12" "" ""

List standard
information for all instances of product for your machine's
flavor¶

% ups list -a2K+ git

To request information on all
instances of a product limited to the OS of your machine, you can
include the -f option (for
flavor), or enter a command like this one, where -a is for all, -2 is for the "level 2" designation of your machine's OS, and -K+ is for condensed output:

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current"

List specific keywords
for a product¶

If your installation has
multiple databases defined in $PRODUCTS, it is useful to include
the keyword for the database ( DB ) in the -K argument list, e.g.,

% ups list -aK+:DB git

This example is similar to the
previous one, but the database path is included at the end:

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" "/nusoft/app/externals" 
"git" "v1_6_4a" "Linux+2" "" "" "/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current" "/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db"

This example specifies particular
fields to be output with the -K option for
the default instance of the product

% ups list -K product:version git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1"

List all keywords for a
product (long listing)¶

% ups list minos -l

This command requests detailed
information ( -l for long
listing) about the default instance of the product. Administrative users may often need this level of
detailed information about a product. The -l option is not
valid with the -K option. The
output looks like this:

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=minos    Version=v0.1    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current
        Declared="2013-08-16 18.16.17 GMT:2013-07-17 14.40.54 GMT" 
        Declarer="products:products" 
        Modified="2013-08-16 18.16.17 GMT:2013-07-17 14.40.54 GMT" 
        Modifier="products:products" 
        Home=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/project/v0_1/NULL
        No Compile Directive
        Authorized, Nodes=*
        UPS_Dir="ups" 
        Table_Dir="" 
        Table_File="project.table" 
        Archive_File="" 
        Description="" 
        Action=setup
            If( test -d /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/prd/bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} )
            Execute( source `ups setup bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} -z /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/db`, NO_UPS_ENV)
            Else()
            Execute( source `ups setup ${UPS_PROD_NAME} -z /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/db`, NO_UPS_ENV)
            Endif( test -d /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/prd/bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} )

This gives a fairly long list.
It is often more convenient to use the -K option with a
list of keywords for the specific fields you need.

Use "ups list -K" to
locate product root directory, table file and ups directory¶

ups list -K can
be used to locate a product's root directory, table file, and ups directory when used
with the keywords corresponding to these quantities

Compare the following three
commands and their output. UPS_DIR represents the location of the product's ups directory. If it is not an
absolute path, then it is taken relative to @PROD_DIR , if
specified (as shown in the second command). @UPS_DIR is the
absolute path.

% ups list -K @PROD_DIR git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux-2" 

% ups list -K UPS_DIR git
"ups" 
"ups" 
"ups" 

% ups list -K@UPS_DIR git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux-2/ups"

Compare the following two
commands and their output. table_file represents only the name of the table file, not its path. @table_file is
the entire path for the table file. See section 29.4 Determination of ups Directory and Table File Locations for information on how UPS determines the table file directory.

% uups list -Ktable_file git
"git.table" 
"v1_8_0_1.table" 
"v1_8_0_1.table" 

% ups list -K@table_file git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups/git.table" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/git/v1_8_0_1.table" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/git/v1_8_0_1.table"

Parse output from "ups
list -K" in perl¶

Here we provide guidance on
parsing ups
list output in perl , with all the appropriate quoting and spacing. The
following example first defines the file handle UPS_LIST_OUTPUT to contain the
piped output of the command $UPS_DIR/bin/ups list
-aK+ (where $UPS_DIR is
translated inside of perl via the $ENV{UPS_DIR} statement, which is the translation of the environmental variable UPS_DIR ). It then defines the array @fields , and parses the output into
a set of five variables.

open(UPS_LIST_OUTPUT, "| $ENV{UPS_DIR}/bin/ups list -aK+");while (<UPS_LIST_OUTPUT> ) {
# break into the array @fields:
@fields = m/\"((?:[^\"\\]|\\.)*)\"/g;
# then do things with $field[0] $field[1] ...
# (in this case,
# $field[0] = product name
# $field[1] = version
# $field[2] = flavor
# $field[3] = qualifiers (colon-separated list)# $field[4] = chains (colon-separated list)
}

Say the output from your ups list
-K command looks like this:

"ups" "v4_4" "Linux+2" "" "current"

then the @fields array contains the
variables:

$field[0] = ups
$field[1] = v4_4
$field[2] = Linux+2
$field[3] = 
$field[4] = current

Alternatively, you could parse
the output this way:

($product, $version, $flavor, $qualifiers, $chains) = m/\"((?:[^\"\\]|\\.)*)\"/g;

and then you'd have:

$product = ups
$version = v4_4
$flavor = Linux+2
$qualifiers = 
$chains = current

Parsing output from "ups
list -K" in a sh script¶

You can parse the output from a
command of the form ups list -K by
piping it into a " while loop" sh script. Here is an example; explanations follow the
code:

ups list -K... |
while read line
do
     eval set : $line
     shift
# now do things with $1 $2 $3... 
done

As the condition of the while loop, the read line command reads the lines of output into the variable line . To get rid of the quotes, the loop runs eval set : $line on each line (this syntax ensures that the set command
actually sets the variables $1 , $2 , and so on, instead of setting
shell behavior in case the first argument starts with a dash). The shift that
follows then gets rid of the colon.

23.12 ups modify¶

The ups modify command allows you to manually edit any of the database product
files. It performs syntax and content validation before and after
the editing session.

23.12.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups modify [<options>] <product> [<version>]

23.12.2 Commonly Used

23.12.4 More Detailed
Description¶

ups modify performs the following steps (if you specify the file using -N ,
the menu will not appear):

presents menu of files
that you can edit and asks you to either select one or quit
verifies
pre-modification contents of file (runs ups verify )
starts up the editor
given by -E
<editor> or, if that is not specified, then $EDITOR,
if set. If neither is specified, it starts up vi by default.
makes a copy of the file
to be edited
pulls copy of file into
the editor
after user exits the
editor, runs ups verify on
the edited file
if the validation
succeeds, writes the new file over the old one and quits
if the validation does
not succeed, provides informational messages, and quits
if no changes made to
file, again presents menu of files

Internal Processes¶

Bring up requested file
in specified editor
Verify the pre-edited
file
Verify the edited file

Process MODIFY
action
Execute the temp
file

23.12.5 ups modify
Example¶

% ups modify git v1_8_5_3 -N $MYDB/git/v1_8_5_3.version

Pre modification verification pass complete.

In this example, we select the
version file (via -N ) for the
product git v1_8_5_3. Since -E is not given, UPS will use the editor set in $EDITOR, or vi if that variable is not set. First, UPS runs ups verify and
produces the output:

Pre modification verification pass complete.

No errors were detected. The
version file is next displayed in the editor.

To illustrate
an unsuccessful validation, we add a bogus line:

TESTKEYWORD = value
and save and quit. %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% returns the following messages, and we opt to save the erroneous change:

INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
Post modification verification pass complete.
Do you wish to save this modification [y/n] ? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y% 
 %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% quits, saving the file as we requested.

To illustrate
successful validation, we'll correct the error introduced above. We
run the same ups modify command. UPS finds the error during the pre-edit validation:

INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
Pre modification verification pass complete.
We remove the incorrect line from the version file, then save and quit. %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% displays the following message, and we elect to save the change ( %{font-weight: bold;font-family: monospace}y% ):

Post modification verification pass complete.
Do you wish to save this modification [y/n] ? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y% 
 %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% quits, saving the file as requested.

23.13 ups parent¶

The ups parent command can be used to determine which products depend on the
specified product instance(s) as declared in the (local) database.
This command is useful when deciding whether a product instance can
be removed without causing problems for other products. If you need to look things
up frequently, you might want to run the command with the -a option, dump
the output to a file, and search in there.

23.13.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups parent [<options>] <product> [<version>]

23.13.4 More Detailed
Description¶

The ups parent command can be slow. The ups
parent command runs:

% ups depend product version -f flavor -q qualifiers -H hostflavor

for every product version -f flavor -q
qualfiers and for every hostflavor mentioned in the
database. If you look things up frequently, we recommend that you
run:

% ups parent -a

dump the output to a file, and
search in the file for the information you need.

23.13.5 ups parent
Example¶

If you want to know what
products depend on git , run:

% ups parent git

|__redmine v1_4_1 -f NULL -z /fnal/ups/db [via  -g current]

23.14 ups start¶

The ups start command is used to invoke appropriately configured products at
system boot time. This is used primarily for products that need to
load drivers, start daemons or perform other actions required at
boot time. This command is generally not run manually, rather it
gets executed from within a UPS control file.

The ups stop command
(see section 23.15 ups stop ) is used to stop products that are started this
way.

23.14.1 Command
Syntax¶

% ups start [<options>] <product> [<version>]

23.14.5 ups start
Examples¶

Run the command
interactively¶

This command first stops
( -w )
the default instance of the product apache , and then restarts it:

% ups start -w apache

It prints to screen messages of
the format:

Run the command from a
control file¶

This command starts the default
instance of the product ObjectCenter for the flavor Linux, and requests verbose
output ( -v ).

% ups start -v -f Linux ObjectCenter

If the logon id is root , the line in the control file may look like:

ups start -v -f Linux ObjectCenter

If the logon id is other than root , the line in the control file must look like:

/bin/su - products -c "ups start -v -f Linux ObjectCenter"

23.15 ups stop¶

The ups stop command
is used to stop appropriately configured products at system
shutdown. This command is generally not run manually, rather it
gets executed from within a UPS control file, and operates on products that were invoked
using ups
start (see section 23.14 ups start ). Typically, these products are ones which
need to load drivers, start daemons or perform other actions
required at boot time.

23.16 ups tailor¶

For any product instance whose
table file includes a TAILOR action, the ups tailor command must be run manually at product installation time after the
product is declared to the database in order to execute this

23.16.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Tailoring is the aspect of the
product implementation that requires input from the product
installer (e.g., specifying the location of hardware devices for a
software driver package). If the product requires tailoring, a file
is usually supplied in the format of an interactive executable
(script or compiled binary), and it is run via a function under the
ACTION=TAILOR line in the table file. Configure, tailor and other
supplemental installation scripts are usually maintained in the
product's $<PRODUCT>_DIR/ups directory.
You must explicitly tailor the product instance using the UPS command ups tailor ;
tailoring is not performed automatically.

Tailoring is generally allowed
on any node of a cluster, however we strongly recommend that you
perform any node-specific tailoring from that node, or
flavor-specific tailoring from a node of that flavor to avoid
mismatches.

Internal Processes¶

23.17 ups touch¶

The ups touch command changes the values of the keywords MODIFIED and MODIFIER in
the version file to the current time and the current user,
respectively.

If you make any changes to a
product's database files by hand (e.g., not via ups modify ), you
should run ups touch afterwards.
You can also run it to prevent an update if you choose to run upd
update on several product instances at a time.

Example¶

To illustrate this command, we
first run a ups list showing
the modified date/time and the modifier(s) for a product:

% ups list prod1 -aKproduct:modified:modifier

"prod1" "2013-09-08 21.44.04 GMT:2013-09-08 21.38.23 GMT" "olduser:olduser"

Now run ups touch to
change these values:

% ups touch prod1

And verify that they have
changed, by rerunning the ups list command:

% ups list prod1 -aKproduct:modified:modifier

"prod1" "2013-11-19 18.43.00 GMT:2013-09-08 21.38.23 GMT" newuser:olduser"

23.18 ups
unconfigure¶

For any product instance whose
table file includes an UNCONFIGURE action, the ups unconfigure command executes this action. An UNCONFIGURE action usually
includes functions that reverse, approximately or fully, the
functions run by the CONFIGURE action. The ups unconfigure command gets run by default by ups undeclare when the product is removed from a database (see section 23.19 ups undeclare , in particular the -C option), but
can be run manually as needed.

23.18.4 More Detailed
Description¶

A product's configuration may
involve creating links to the product root directory from other
areas (see section 16.1.3 Third-Party Products Requiring a Hard-Coded Path ). If
the area is not identical for each node accessing the UPS database in which the product instance has been declared
(i.e., same path but separate areas), then the ups configure command needs to be run manually on each node that mounts a unique
area. Similarly, when removing such a product from a database, you
will need to run the ups unconfigure command manually on each node. If you are not sure whether you need
to unconfigure a product instance on each node, look through the
ACTION=UNCONFIGURE steps in the table file to see what they do.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
Process the UNCONFIGURE
action
Execute the temp
file

23.18.5 ups unconfigure
Example¶

The sample command runs the UNCONFIGURE action in the table file
associated with the product prod1 . If that action is
not present, it undoes all the reversible functions included under
the CONFIGURE action, by default.

% ups unconfigure prod1 v5 -f Linux+2

This command should take care
of the "unconfiguration" on all the machines of flavor Linux+2 in the cluster. A
command like this, but with the appropriate flavor, must be run for
each machine flavor represented in the cluster.

23.19 ups undeclare¶

The ups undeclare command is used for two separate purposes:

to remove an
instance from a database (and optionally remove its product root
directory); the information that gets removed includes:
- the version file, or the
  portion of the version file, that pertains to the instance
- any chain files, or the
  portions of any chain files, that pertain to the instance

to remove a
chain from an instance

23.19.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Removing a Product
Instance¶

% %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}Using ups undeclare is the recommended procedure for removing product instances.
Removing them manually does not ensure that all the files get
deleted or that chains get updated properly, which can lead to a
fragmented products area.

To undeclare a product
instance, you must specify the version of the instance, not its chain , in the ups undeclare command. Specifying the chain removes only that chain, not the instance
itself. When an instance gets "undeclared", all information
pertaining to it is removed from the UPS database in question; this includes:

the version file, or the
portion of the version file, that pertains to the instance
any chain files, or the
portions of any chain files, that pertain to the instance

You can also opt to remove the
product instance's directory tree starting from its root directory.
To do so, use one of the options -y or -Y ( -y queries you for confirmation, -Y does
not).

Before removing anything, you
should find out if any other products have the product instance in
question declared as a dependency. If so, you may want to reconsider removing
it. Removal of the product instance may affect the operation of its
parent products.

We recommend always including a
flavor option if you have a multi-flavor database.

The ups undeclare command executes ups unconfigure by default (the UNCONFIGURE process can be suppressed by using the -C option, however normally you want this process to execute).

Special case: If a product has a CONFIGURE action that modifies
files outside of its product root directory, and if this instance
is used by more than one node, flavor or file system, then you may
need to run ups undeclare or ups
unconfigure on all of the nodes before removing the product
files on any node. Check the product's table file.

Removing a Chain from an
Instance¶

To remove a chain, include the
chain specification in the ups undeclare command, but do not include the version. Including both the chain
and version is bound to be either redundant or incompatible, and
may result in removing the product declaration! We recommend always
including the -f
<flavor> option if you have a multi-flavored
database.

Internal Processes¶

use
If necessary process
all appropriate `UNCHAIN' actions

action

23.19.5 ups undeclare
Examples¶

Undeclare an
instance¶

% ups undeclare -f Linux+2 tcl v8 -y

In this example, we undeclare
and remove current instance (by default) of the product tcl v8 for the flavor Linus+2 ( -f option) from
the default database. Notice that the version is included for
instance identification as required. We opt to remove the product
root directory after query (lowercase -y option):

Product home directory -
        /export/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/products/tcl/v8/Delete this directory? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y%

We respond "y" for yes. To
respond no, we would enter "n".

Undeclare a chain¶

% ups undeclare -c ximagetools -f NULL

In this command, we remove the
"current" chain ( -c option) from
the instance of ximagetools declared as current for the flavor NULL
( -f option). Notice that the version is not included!

If multiple flavor/qualifier pairs share the chain file in question
(in which case you need to specify the flavor/qualifier information
on the command line), only the portion of the chain file pertaining
to the specified instance will get removed; the file itself will
not be deleted.

23.20 ups verify¶

The ups verify command checks the integrity of the database files for the
specified product(s), and lists any errors and inconsistencies that
it finds.

The ups verify command gets run by ups modify before and after file editing (see section 23.12 ups modify ). ups verify can
also be run manually as needed.

% echo $SETUP_UPD

upd v4_8_0 -f NULL -z /fnal/ups/db

Use of the
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> Variable by unsetup¶

23.1.5 setup
Examples¶

In the following examples, when we say that all dependencies of a
product get set up, we mean all except optional dependencies that
are unavailable.

Setup default instance
of product¶

% setup git

This sets up the current
instance of the product git for the best match flavor of your OS. If the product
has any dependencies, they get setup too, by default.

% setup -v git

UPSMAT: Searching UPS database - /fnal/ups/db
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/.upsfiles/dbconfig - Open file for read
UPSFIL: /fnal/ups/db/.upsfiles/dbconfig - Read 6 item(s)

Restrict the setup of
dependent products¶

% setup -R ruby

Use of the -R option sets
up the specified product and its required dependencies only.

% setup -j ruby

Use of the -j option sets
up only the specified product; none of its dependencies get
setup.

Setup a chained instance
(other than the default "current")¶

% setup -t prod1
% setup -g test prod1

Either of these commands sets
up the instance of prod1 chained to "test" (for the default flavor). To setup any
chained instance other than current, include the chain flag in the
command.

Setup a product
specifying its version¶

% setup prod1 v5_23a

This command sets up version
v5_23a of prod1 whether or not it has a chain. Run a ups list command
to get the version information.

Setup a product declared
with qualifiers¶

% setup -q BUILD prod1

Remember that qualifiers are case-sensitive.

Setup a product and
activate extended functionality¶

To setup the instance of
product prod1 chained to development, and all of prod1 's dependencies, and to activate extended setup
actions, enter:

% setup -d -e prod1

23.2 unsetup¶

23.2.3 More Detailed
Description¶

When you no longer need to
access a product, in most cases you can simply type:

% unsetup <product>

for example:

% unsetup prod1

Sometimes this isn't
sufficient. The $SETUP_<PRODUCT> variable governs the
behavior, as described below.

Use of the
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> Variable¶

unsetup uses the
environment variable $SETUP_<PRODUCT>, by default, to
determine which instance to unsetup. If this variable was not set during product setup (i.e., the setup default
functions were not run, or setupEnv() was not run), then you must specify on the
command line which instance to unsetup; running simply unsetup
<product> causes no action to be taken.

Behavior of unsetup for
Product Dependencies¶

The behavior of unsetup as
regards product dependencies depends upon a couple of factors:

whether an UNSETUP
action exists in the main product's table file
whether
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> has been defined for the product
dependency

If ACTION=UNSETUP is defined
for the main product, then:

if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with no instance-identifying information (e.g., unsetupRequired
(<dep_product>) only; no options or version), and if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the dependency, unsetup will be
run on the instance identified by $SETUP_<PRODUCT>.
if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with no instance-identifying information (e.g., unsetupRequired
(<dep_product>) only; no options or version), and if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is not defined for the dependency, no unsetup will be
performed for the dependency.
if it includes
the function unsetupRequired for the dependency with some instance-identifying information
(e.g., unsetupRequired -q
"build" <dep_product> ), then unsetup is run
on this specified instance of the product dependency; if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the dependency, it is
ignored.

If ACTION=UNSETUP is not defined for the main product, then:

if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is defined for the product dependency, then unsetup will be
run on the instance identified by $SETUP_<PRODUCT>.
if
$SETUP_<PRODUCT> is not defined for the dependency, no unsetup will be
performed for the dependency.

If you use the -j option in the unsetup command
of the main product, only the main product gets unsetup; its
product dependencies are left untouched.

Internal Processes¶

Check node
authorization
Process UNSETUP
action
Source the temp
file

The UNSETUP default functions
are to undo the default SETUP functions (i.e., unset
$<PRODUCT>_DIR and $SETUP_<PRODUCT>).

Note: If there is no UNSETUP
action, then unsetup undoes
everything done in SETUP action. However, if SETUP includes
non-reversible functions, these cannot be undone by unsetup .

23.2.4 unsetup
Examples¶

% unsetup lxr

This command unsets the product lxr . When you no longer need to access a product, in most
cases you can simply use the product name to identify it.

% unsetup -j ruby

The -j option in
this command causes UPS to unsetup the product, while leaving all its dependencies setup.

23.4.5 More Detailed
Description¶

Notes:

ups copy runs ups
declare if you use the -X (uppercase -x )
option; if not used, the declare command is just echoed.
Use the -G option to
specify declaration information that is to be different from the
installation you're using as a model. At least one
instance-identifying element must be specified using -G to
distinguish the source from the target instance.
If you use the option -W ,
you will pick up the current environment. For example, if the
previously declared instance depends on v1_0 of some product (e.g., joe v1_0), but the new instance should have joe v2_0 as a dependency, first run setup joe v2_0 ,
then run ups copy with -W .

Internal Processes¶

Process COPY
action
Create a table file
entry for new instance (may use environment for UPS product requirements)
If simulation only,
write table file entry to temp and echo appropriate declare
command
Otherwise, write/merge
in table file and declare new instance (see ups declare internals)
Execute temp file

23.4.6 ups copy
Examples¶

% ups copy dog v1 -G "dog v3 -f Linux+2 -q test -m v3.table -M ups\ 
-r /path/to/dog/v3"

/var/tmp/baaa006ni_table_dog 
ups declare dog v3 -f "Linux+2" -q "test" -r "/path/to/dog/v3"\
 -U "ups" -m "v3.table" -M "ups"

The second command is
identical to the first example except that the -X option
instructs it to execute the ups declare command:

% ups copy dog v1 -G "dog v3 -f Linux+2 -q test -r /path/to/dog/v3 \ 
-M ups -m v3.table" -X

23.5 ups declare¶

The ups declare command is used for two separate purposes:

to initially
declare an instance to a database (and optionally add a chain at
the same time)
to add a chain
to a previously declared instance

23.5.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Declaring an Instance
for the First Time¶

In the ups declare command:

-C prevents
execution of the CONFIGURE action, if any, and is normally not
included. The default (and usually desired) behavior is to execute
the CONFIGURE action.
You must include a
flavor specification, there is no default flavor when a product is
first declared. It sets the value of the FLAVOR keyword.
Most products require a table file. The table
file must exist before running ups declare . In
most cases you need to include the table file name ( -m ). (Since in a
very few cases a table file isn't required, -m is not a
strictly required option.)
If the product's table
file was placed in either of the two default locations (under /path/to/database/<product> or in the product's ups directory), then -M
<table_file_dir> is not needed. Only use the -M option if you have moved the table file to a separate location
where UPS won't otherwise find it.
In most cases you need
to include product root directory ( -r ). Exceptions
include wrapper products which consist only of a table file, and
thus have no product root directory.
If the product's ups directory tar file
was unwound in the default location ( $<PRODUCT>_DIR/ups ), then -U
<ups_dir> is not needed. If the ups directory is located elsewhere
(or named differently), this specification must be included. In
general, you should not include this qualifier.
If you choose not to
specify the target database explicitly ( -z
<database> ), UPS chooses it automatically via the $PRODUCTS variable. If
$PRODUCTS points to multiple databases, you need to be a little
careful about database selection. The database matching algorithm
is described in section 27.1 Database Selection Algorithm .
p<>. If the product has
dependencies that are declared in different databases, UPS must be able to find all of them in order to resolve the
dependencies. You can rely on $PRODUCTS if all the necessary
databases are included in it. Otherwise specify them on the command
line (e.g., -z
<database1>:<database2>:...> or -z
$PRODUCTS:<database1>:<database2>:... ).

You may include chain
information on this command. See the description below.

Adding Chains to an
Existing Instance¶

When you add one or more chains
to an existing instance, UPS doesn't allow you to change anything else about that
instance. Regarding the options to specify:

You of course need to
specify the chain or chains to add using either -g
<chain_name> or one of -c , -d , -n , -o , -t .
-C prevents the
corresponding chain action(s) in the table file from being
executed.
You do not strictly need
to specify flavor. UPS will default to the best flavor match (described in
section 27.2.4 Flavor and Qualifier Matching Algorithm ). You can
override the default using -f or a valid number
(.
Specify qualifiers
( -q )
as necessary to select the appropriate instance.
Specify the database
( -z )
as necessary to select the appropriate instance.

Internal Processes¶

Find database to
use
If necessary, process
`UNCHAIN' action
Process DECLARE
action
If necessary, process
CONFIGURE action
If necessary, warn if
there is a TAILOR action
If necessary, process
the `CHAIN' action
If necessary, warn if
there are START/STOP actions
If current chain, try
to copyman, copycatman and copyInfo files
Execute the temp
file
If successful, modify
all appropriate files on disk

23.5.5 ups declare
Examples¶

Declare a product with
no chain using defaults where possible¶

% ups declare myprod v1_0 -f Linux+2 -m myprod.table \ 
            -r /path/to/myprod/v1_0/Linux+2

Declare a product with
no chain using defaults where possible¶

% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -g test -m myprod2.table \
           -r myprod2/v1_0/FictionalOS+a -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS

Add a chain to a
previously declared instance¶

% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -g test -m myprod2.table \  
         -r myprod2/v1_0/FictionalOS+a -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS
% ups declare myprod2 v1_0 -2 -c -z /my/local/db:$PRODUCTS

In most UPS/UPD commands you specify either chain (often defaulted
to "current") or version. Here you need both: the version is
required to identify the instance, and the chain is required
because it is being assigned.
You should specify the
database /my/local/db first since that's how it was initially declared. UPS will traverse the databases in the same order to find
the right instance.

23.8.5 ups flavor
Examples¶

Find full flavor
specification of machine¶

% ups flavor

This command returns the full
OS specification of the machine up to the build number for the patch
(when these levels of specification exist), for example:

Linux64bit+2.6-2.5

Create a flavor table
for machine's OS¶

% ups flavor -l

This command returns a flavor
table for the flavor of the machine. For example, on a (fictional)
Linux+2.6 machine it outputs:

Linux+2.6.1-4
Linux+2.6.1
Linux+2.6
Linux+2
Linux
NULL
ANY

Find flavor
specification of machine, at different levels¶

% ups flavor -4

The -4 option
requests the machine's flavor as the most significant OS
specification or the full specification, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6.1

% ups flavor -3

The -3 option
requests the machine's flavor as basic OS and version and release, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6

The -2 option
requests the machine's flavor as basic OS and version, e.g.,:

Linux+2.6

% ups flavor -1

The -1 option
requests the machine's flavor as the OS value up to the generic OS,
e.g.,:

Linux

% ups flavor -0

This always returns the NULL
string.

Create a flavor table
for host flavor, at different levels¶

% ups flavor -lH FictionalOS+a.6

This creates a flavor table
listing flavors starting at the level specified via -H , in this case
"level 3":

FictionalOS+a.6
FictionalOS+a
FictionalOS
NULL

23.11.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Formatted Output
Style¶

One output style is for visual
parsing (this is the default output, which we call formatted ), with output that looks like:

%  ups list git

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

If $PRODUCTS contains multiple
databases, output is returned for each one and labelled
accordingly, for example:

% ups list git

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Notice that more than one instance
of the product may exist for a given database.

Condensed Output
Style¶

% ups list -K product:version:flavor git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2"

The plus sign ( ) argument,
e.g., -K , is a
shorthand for requesting the default fields product:version:flavor:qualifiers:chain ,
for example:

% ups list -K+ git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current"

Some common keyword arguments
used with the -K option
are:

Table 23.11.4-a:Table 23.11.4-a:

PRODUCT PRODUCT	product name product name
FLAVOR FLAVOR	product instance flavor product instance flavor

MODIFIER MODIFIER	logon id of person who modified/updated the instance logon id of person who modified/updated the instance
MODIFIED MODIFIED	date/time that product instance was modified/updated date/time that product instance was modified/updated

A few of the keywords allow
the "at" symbol, @ to be prepended, which provides a sort of
shorthand for long path names:

Table 23.11.4-b:Table 23.11.4-b:

@PROD_DIR @PROD_DIR	entire path for the directory where the product is installed (usually equivalent to PROD_DIR_PREFIX/PROD_DIR) entire path for the directory where the product is installed (usually equivalent to PROD_DIR_PREFIX/PROD_DIR)
@TABLE_FILE @TABLE_FILE	entire path for the table file entire path for the table file
@UPS_DIR @UPS_DIR	product's ups directory; if it is not an absolute path, then it is taken relative to @PROD_DIR product's ups directory; if it is not an absolute path, then it is taken relative to @PROD_DIR

23.11.5 ups list
Examples¶

List all current
products¶

% ups list

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=allinea_tools    Version=v4_1_1    Flavor=Linux64bit
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=cetpkgsupport    Version=v1_05_03    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=cmake    Version=v2_8_8    Flavor=Linux64bit+2.6-2.5
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

...

            Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=ups    Version=v5_0_2    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Use of the -K option with
the + argument,
e.g.,

% ups list -K+

provides the same information
as the previous example, but condensed to one line per product:

"allinea_tools" "v4_1_1" "Linux64bit" "" "current" 
"cetpkgsupport" "v1_05_03" "NULL" "" "current" 
"cmake" "v2_8_8" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.5" "" "current" 
...
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux+2" "" "current" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" "Linux+2" "" "current"

Instead of using the + argument to get the default fields, you can specify particular
fields:

% ups list -K product:version

This command outputs a list of
product names and version numbers for all the current products
installed in your default UPS database, e.g.,:

"allinea_tools" "v4_1_1" 
"cetpkgsupport" "v1_05_03" 
"cmake" "v2_8_8" 
...
"ups" "v5_0_2" 
"ups" "v5_0_2" 
"ups" "v5_0_2"

List standard
information for default instance of product¶

% ups list nova

This command requests the
standard output fields for the default instance of nova , using the formatted output:

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=nova    Version=v0.1    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

Addition of the -K+ construction, e.g.,

% ups list -K+ nova

requests the same information
as the previous example, but in condensed format:

"nova" "v0.1" "NULL" "" "current"

Using -a for all,
e.g.,

List standard
information for all instances of product¶

% ups list -a git

requests the standard output
fields for all instances of git , using the formatted output:

DATABASE=/nusoft/app/externals 
    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=git    Version=v1_6_4a    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain="" 

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current

    Product=git    Version=v1_8_0_1    Flavor=Linux64bit+2
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current
...

           Product=git    Version=v1_8_5_3    Flavor=Linxu+2.6-2.12
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=""

Use of the -K option with
the + argument,
e.g.,

% ups list -aK+ git

requests the same information
as the previous example, but in condensed format ( -K+ ):

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_6_4a" "Linux+2" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.5" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux+2.6-2.5" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linux64bit+2.6-2.12" "" "" 
"git" "v1_8_5_3" "Linxu+2.6-2.12" "" ""

List standard
information for all instances of product for your machine's
flavor¶

% ups list -a2K+ git

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current"

List specific keywords
for a product¶

If your installation has
multiple databases defined in $PRODUCTS, it is useful to include
the keyword for the database ( DB ) in the -K argument list, e.g.,

% ups list -aK+:DB git

This example is similar to the
previous one, but the database path is included at the end:

"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux64bit+2" "" "current" "/nusoft/app/externals" 
"git" "v1_6_4a" "Linux+2" "" "" "/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" "Linux+2" "" "current" "/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db"

This example specifies particular
fields to be output with the -K option for
the default instance of the product

% ups list -K product:version git
"git" "v1_8_0_1" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1" 
"git" "v1_8_0_1"

List all keywords for a
product (long listing)¶

% ups list minos -l

DATABASE=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db 
    Product=minos    Version=v0.1    Flavor=NULL
        Qualifiers=""    Chain=current
        Declared="2013-08-16 18.16.17 GMT:2013-07-17 14.40.54 GMT" 
        Declarer="products:products" 
        Modified="2013-08-16 18.16.17 GMT:2013-07-17 14.40.54 GMT" 
        Modifier="products:products" 
        Home=/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/project/v0_1/NULL
        No Compile Directive
        Authorized, Nodes=*
        UPS_Dir="ups" 
        Table_Dir="" 
        Table_File="project.table" 
        Archive_File="" 
        Description="" 
        Action=setup
            If( test -d /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/prd/bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} )
            Execute( source `ups setup bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} -z /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/db`, NO_UPS_ENV)
            Else()
            Execute( source `ups setup ${UPS_PROD_NAME} -z /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/db`, NO_UPS_ENV)
            Endif( test -d /grid/fermiapp/products/${UPS_PROD_NAME}/prd/bootstrap_${UPS_PROD_NAME} )

This gives a fairly long list.
It is often more convenient to use the -K option with a
list of keywords for the specific fields you need.

Use "ups list -K" to
locate product root directory, table file and ups directory¶

ups list -K can
be used to locate a product's root directory, table file, and ups directory when used
with the keywords corresponding to these quantities

% ups list -K @PROD_DIR git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux-2" 

% ups list -K UPS_DIR git
"ups" 
"ups" 
"ups" 

% ups list -K@UPS_DIR git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/../prd/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux-2/ups"

% uups list -Ktable_file git
"git.table" 
"v1_8_0_1.table" 
"v1_8_0_1.table" 

% ups list -K@table_file git
"/nusoft/app/externals/git/v1_8_0_1/Linux64bit-2/ups/git.table" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/git/v1_8_0_1.table" 
"/grid/fermiapp/products/common/db/git/v1_8_0_1.table"

Parse output from "ups
list -K" in perl¶

open(UPS_LIST_OUTPUT, "| $ENV{UPS_DIR}/bin/ups list -aK+");while (<UPS_LIST_OUTPUT> ) {
# break into the array @fields:
@fields = m/\"((?:[^\"\\]|\\.)*)\"/g;
# then do things with $field[0] $field[1] ...
# (in this case,
# $field[0] = product name
# $field[1] = version
# $field[2] = flavor
# $field[3] = qualifiers (colon-separated list)# $field[4] = chains (colon-separated list)
}

Say the output from your ups list
-K command looks like this:

"ups" "v4_4" "Linux+2" "" "current"

then the @fields array contains the
variables:

$field[0] = ups
$field[1] = v4_4
$field[2] = Linux+2
$field[3] = 
$field[4] = current

Alternatively, you could parse
the output this way:

($product, $version, $flavor, $qualifiers, $chains) = m/\"((?:[^\"\\]|\\.)*)\"/g;

and then you'd have:

$product = ups
$version = v4_4
$flavor = Linux+2
$qualifiers = 
$chains = current

Parsing output from "ups
list -K" in a sh script¶

You can parse the output from a
command of the form ups list -K by
piping it into a " while loop" sh script. Here is an example; explanations follow the
code:

ups list -K... |
while read line
do
     eval set : $line
     shift
# now do things with $1 $2 $3... 
done

23.12 ups modify¶

The ups modify command allows you to manually edit any of the database product
files. It performs syntax and content validation before and after
the editing session.

23.12.4 More Detailed
Description¶

ups modify performs the following steps (if you specify the file using -N ,
the menu will not appear):

presents menu of files
that you can edit and asks you to either select one or quit
verifies
pre-modification contents of file (runs ups verify )
starts up the editor
given by -E
<editor> or, if that is not specified, then $EDITOR,
if set. If neither is specified, it starts up vi by default.
makes a copy of the file
to be edited
pulls copy of file into
the editor
after user exits the
editor, runs ups verify on
the edited file
if the validation
succeeds, writes the new file over the old one and quits
if the validation does
not succeed, provides informational messages, and quits
if no changes made to
file, again presents menu of files

Internal Processes¶

Bring up requested file
in specified editor
Verify the pre-edited
file
Verify the edited file

23.12.5 ups modify
Example¶

% ups modify git v1_8_5_3 -N $MYDB/git/v1_8_5_3.version

Pre modification verification pass complete.

Pre modification verification pass complete.

No errors were detected. The
version file is next displayed in the editor.

To illustrate
an unsuccessful validation, we add a bogus line:

TESTKEYWORD = value
and save and quit. %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% returns the following messages, and we opt to save the erroneous change:

INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
Post modification verification pass complete.
Do you wish to save this modification [y/n] ? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y% 
 %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% quits, saving the file as we requested.

To illustrate
successful validation, we'll correct the error introduced above. We
run the same ups modify command. UPS finds the error during the pre-edit validation:

INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl
ared/prod1/v1_0.version', line 17
INFORMATIONAL: Unexpected key word 'TESTKEYWORD' in '/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/decl

Pre modification verification pass complete.
We remove the incorrect line from the version file, then save and quit. %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% displays the following message, and we elect to save the change ( %{font-weight: bold;font-family: monospace}y% ):

Post modification verification pass complete.
Do you wish to save this modification [y/n] ? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y% 
 %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}UPS% quits, saving the file as requested.

The ups parent command can be slow. The ups
parent command runs:

% ups depend product version -f flavor -q qualifiers -H hostflavor

for every product version -f flavor -q
qualfiers and for every hostflavor mentioned in the
database. If you look things up frequently, we recommend that you
run:

% ups parent -a

dump the output to a file, and
search in the file for the information you need.

"prod1" "2013-09-08 21.44.04 GMT:2013-09-08 21.38.23 GMT" "olduser:olduser"

Now run ups touch to
change these values:

% ups touch prod1

And verify that they have
changed, by rerunning the ups list command:

% ups list prod1 -aKproduct:modified:modifier

23.19.4 More Detailed
Description¶

Removing a Product
Instance¶

the version file, or the
portion of the version file, that pertains to the instance
any chain files, or the
portions of any chain files, that pertain to the instance

You can also opt to remove the
product instance's directory tree starting from its root directory.
To do so, use one of the options -y or -Y ( -y queries you for confirmation, -Y does
not).

We recommend always including a
flavor option if you have a multi-flavor database.

The ups undeclare command executes ups unconfigure by default (the UNCONFIGURE process can be suppressed by using the -C option, however normally you want this process to execute).

Removing a Chain from an
Instance¶

Internal Processes¶

Find database to
use
If necessary process
all appropriate `UNCHAIN' actions
Process the UNCONFIGURE
action
Process the UNDECLARE
action
If necessary delete the
product's home area
Execute the temp
file

23.19.5 ups undeclare
Examples¶

Undeclare an
instance¶

% ups undeclare -f Linux+2 tcl v8 -y

Product home directory -
        /export/home/t1/aheavey/upsII/products/tcl/v8/Delete this directory? %{font-weight: bold;color: #000000}y%

We respond "y" for yes. To
respond no, we would enter "n".

Undeclare a chain¶

% ups undeclare -c ximagetools -f NULL

In this command, we remove the
"current" chain ( -c option) from
the instance of ximagetools declared as current for the flavor NULL
( -f option). Notice that the version is not included!

23.20 ups verify¶

The ups verify command checks the integrity of the database files for the
specified product(s), and lists any errors and inconsistencies that
it finds.

The ups verify command gets run by ups modify before and after file editing (see section 23.12 ups modify ). ups verify can
also be run manually as needed.

23.20.1 Command

% ups verify [<options>] [<product>] [<version>]

Example¶

% ups verify -z $MYDB prod1

For this example, we have given
an erroneous value to the TABLE_FILE keyword in the version file
for this product. The command output shows:
