Message   Andrew Leary    All   MakeNL bug with archived segments   August 11, 2017
 6:24 PM *  

Hello everybody!

I have discovered an issue that can manifest itself when archived segments are 
submitted to the next *C up the chain.  When archiving the new segment prior 
to submission, MakeNL doesn't check to see if the archive already exists.  The 
result is submission of an archive containing the new segment, as well as an 
older one.

There are two solutions that I've come up with:

1.  MakeNL check for an existing archive and remove it prior to archiving the 
segment for submission.
2.  When uncompressing incoming segment archives, compare file dates on all 
files unpacked and use the most recent.

What do you think?  I'm leaning towards number 2 first, as that will help in 
cases where the lower level *C hasn't upgraded his version of MakeNL yet.

As a work around, the problem can be avoided by disabling the compression of 
submitted segments by adding:

THReshold -1 -1

to your control file.

Andrew
