 106
 107 <p>I have been working resolving problems with the cclic_report for this month. The script to do this has been failing due to a subtle bug in the algorithm used for obtaining the necessary files to translate the various user IDs and map them to Org 9 numbers and the like.</p>
 108
 109 <p>The script looks in a series of files out on the file system in order to obtain information to build mapping tables it needs to do the translation. These files are of the form:</p>
 110
 111 <div class=code><pre>
 112 /data/cmetrics/recv/&lt;<i>site</i>&gt;/&lt;<i>type&gt;.&lt;year</i>&gt;/&lt;<i>date</i>&gt;<br>
 113 </pre></div>
 114
 115 <p>Where:</p>
 116
 117 <dl>
 118   <dt>site</dt>
 119   <dd>A site designator. This is one of: dal-design (Dallas), nice-design (Nice), tii-shared (Bangalore) or vorlagenkontoliste (Vorlagenkontoliste)</dd>
 120   <dt>type</dt>
 121   <dd>The type of map. This is one of: passwd, aids or sbes</dd>
 122   <dt>year</dt>
 123   <dd>The current year</dd>
 124   <dt>date</dt>
 125   <dd>The current date in YYYY-MM-DD format</dd>
 126 </dl>
 127
 128 <p>These files are automatically generated by dsmetrics however they are not guaranteed to be up to the minute. The script attempts to workaround this by first starting with the current day then working backward one day at a time for up to 30 days. Thus if say /data/cmetrics/dal-design/passwd.2006/2006-12-31 has not yet be generated 2006-12-30 will be checked, then 2006-12-29 and so on.</p>
 129
 130 <p>Problem is that that algorithm <i>assumes</i> that the data store (e.g. /data/cmetrics/&lt;<i>site</i>&gt;/&lt;<i>type</i>&gt;.&lt;<i>year</i>&gt;) has at least 30 days of information. This assumption breaks when the year changes since the year is contained in the parent directory. So, for example, given today is 1/8/2007, if .../passwd.2007/2007-01-08 has not be generated we can only check for 07, 06, .., 01. Checking for .../paswd.<font color="#ff0000"><b>2007</b></font>/<font  color="#3333ff"><b>2006</b></font>-12-31 makes no sense and will never work.</p>
 131
 132 <p>Updating of the various files under /data/cmetrics seems sporadic. Currently the script is still not runnable as there is no /data/cmetrics/recv/tii-shared/password.2007 entries at all! The script is failing with:</p>
 133
 134 <div class=code><pre>
 135 $ ./cclic_report.pl -v
 136 cclic_report.pl (v{VERSION}) starting
 137 Getting full path to data files
 138 Unable to find /data/cmetrics/recv/tii-shared/passwd.2007/2006-12-10 at ./cclic_report.pl line 137
 139         main::findFile('/data/cmetrics/recv/tii-shared/passwd.2007') called at ./cclic_report.pl line 249
 140 </pre></div>
 141
 142 <p>I can see no real quick or easy solution for this except to wait for tii-shared's 2007 files to be generated...</p>
