Configurable directory for lock files handled by ResourceLock. The configuration is set in "/etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg" with RESOURCE_LOCK_PATH <path> The patch also contains Domain.pm which may be needed for older versions of OpeniT.
This patch is replacing patch 763, which had serious performance problems. Revision 3 contains a fix for bugs in the previous revisions. It has not the recovery / cleanup which revision 1 had. Instead it prevents the same issue, by preventing duplication of 'add' and 'check_and_split_data' processes. This will avoid corruptions of the database in some cases. The cleanup of a corrupt database will be made available as a script. Revision 4 is for better performance when processing data-*-*-*.temp files in propagate data types.
This patch has added functionality for cleaning up in the database. Sometimes the database has been inconsistent due to various error situations. * Link which points to a directory where there is no file * Data file missing where the back-end would expect to find a file during aggregation These two issues have been fixed. Revision 2: Recover old data when temp file is present. "add" will also run in only one process. If another process is started, it will trigger another loop of "add" and exit.
