TiNa - Move Catalog Path

The config variable to tell TINA where the catalog is located is global_odb_translation_path:

global_odb_translation_path: 
	• Specifies the absolute path of the Data.catalog_name directory where the
	  catalog file (odb file) is stored.

Change the catalog path

We need to move the catalog directory /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Data.MyCatalog to /MyPATH/Other-Directory.

The purpose is to place the catalog on a partition with a greater storage capacity.

Steps

0/ Have a recent catalog backup available in case it should be needed

# /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Bin/tina_odbsave -catalog MyCatalog -file /MyPATH/Other-Directory/catalog_backup/MyCatalog_Backup_$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%m).cod

1/ Check for no current job

# /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Bin/tina_acct -display_active_jobs_only

2/ Stop the catalog(s)

# /etc/init.d/tina.MyCatalog stop

3/ Stop the tina service

# /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Bin/tina_catalog_ctrl -stop

4/ List and kill all TiNa and Codac services if they still exist:

# ps aux | grep -E 'tina|MyCatalog'

5/ Rename directories for security
5.1/ If the /Data.MyCatalog directory still exist in your target path, you should rename it before

# mv /MyPATH/Other-Directory/Data.MyCatalog /MyPATH/Other-Directory/Data.MyCatalog.OLD

5.2/ If a /vls directory still exist in your target path, you should rename it before and create a empty one

# mv /MyPATH/Other-Directory/vls /MyPATH/Other-Directory/vls.OLD
# mkdir /MyPATH/Other-Directory/vls
# chmod 755 /MyPATH/Other-Directory/vls (if needed)

5/ Copy the /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Data.MyCatalog directory to /MyPATH/Other-Directory/

# cp -r /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Data.MyCatalog /MyPATH/Other-Directory/

6/ Add the paragraph below in the /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Conf/parameters.xml file, just before the last </parameters> line 

[...]
	<parameter name="global_odb_translation_path">
    	<filter type="catalog">MyCatalog</filter>
    	<filter type="binary">*</filter>
    	<value>/MyPATH/Other-Directory</value>
	</parameter>
	
</parameters>

7/ Restart the Tina service

# /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Bin/tina_catalog_ctrl -start

8/ Restart the catalog(s)

# /etc/init.d/tina.MyCatalog start

9/ If you want to check that the tunable is taken into account, connect to the catalog via the web interface and go to settings > tunables

10/ If everything went well, delete the odb files (except the odb.lock and /Boot folder) from the old path /usr/Atempo/TimeNavigator/MyCatalog/Data.MyCatalog directory
