Regenerating Data

Regenerate_data is a script that lets you regenerate generated data types from the archive. It inserts them into the data structure and reaggregates the summarized data.

danger

You need support's assistance to do this. Please coordinate with them to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Requirements​

  • Open iT Core Server
  • Administrative rights

Running regenerate_data​

  1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

  2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

    Example
    cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

  3. Run the command:

    Command Syntax
    regenerate_data <parameter 1> <parameter 2> ... <parameter n> <from> <to>
    NOTE

    If no --datatype or --archtype is given, regeneration for archive type licpoll2 is assumed.

    Required Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    <period start>Use this to specify the date (YYYY-MM-DD) for which to start the processing.
    <period end>Use this to specify the date (YYYY-MM-DD) for which to end the processing. Not required if you will only regenerate data from a single day.
    Required Parameters for Running Regenerate_data

    Optional Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    --archtype <type>Use this parameter to regenerate data from a specific archive type.
    --datatype <number>Use this parameter to regenerate data from a specific data type. Specify the corresponding number of the data type you want to regenerate.
    --filter <details>Written as: <key1> = <value1>
    This is case-sensitive. Globbing is allowed. See Examples.
    Running regenerate_data with this parameter saves the regenerated data in the merge directory, which is in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming\merge by default.
    --method <schedule/direct>Use this parameter to specify what you want to happen to the regenerated data. Choose from:
    • schedule (default) - does the same as the regular server. Jobs (.spec) files will be created and placed in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp\LoadManager\pending by default, where they will be picked up by the normal processing daemon (loadmanager).
    • direct - processes jobs by running the filtrator and will not create jobs for loadmanager. When the generation is done, it will also trigger loading (check_and_split and add).
    --bin_dirUse this parameter to specify the path to the openit_filtrator application if not in the default directory C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin.
    --config_fileUse this parameter to specify an alternative filtrator config file if not in the default C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\filtrator.conf.
    --incoming_dirUse this parameter to specify an alternative directory for the regenerated data if not in the default C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming.
    --pending_dirUse this parameter to specify an alternative directory for the jobs (.spec) files created if not in the default C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp\LoadManager\pending. Useful with --method schedule.
    --nocommitUse this parameter to generate new data in the default C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming, but skip loading (check_and_split and add). Relevant with --method direct.
    --debug <args>Use this parameter to get debug information.
    --verboseUse this parameter to get verbose debug information.
    --versionUse this parameter to display the script version information.
    --dryrunUse this to show (not execute) the filtrator commands.
    --helpUse this parameter to display the help text.
    Optional Parameters for Running Regenerate_data

  4. Optional: If you used the --filter parameter, the regenerated data are saved in the merge directory, which is in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming\merge by default. To continue, you need to move the files from the merge directory to the incoming directory, which is in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming by default.

Examples​

This section shows examples when running regenerate_data with the --filter parameter.

Regenerating data with a specific product​

  • The regenerate_data script assumes you want to filter product(s) if a key is not specified.

    Example
    regenerate_data --archtype licpoll2 --filter "server035;sentinel" 2023-09-11 2023-10-11

    This example will regenerate data with product server035;sentinel from archive type licpoll2 from September 11, 2023 to October 11, 2023.

  • --filter "product=<product>"

    Example
    regenerate_data --datatype 102 --filter "product=server175,server370,server75;dsls" 2024-01-12

    This example will regenerate data with product server175,server370,server75;dsls from data type 102 from January 12, 2024.

Regenerating data with a specific feature​

--filter "feature=<feature>"

Example
regenerate_data --datatype 75 --filter "feature=StandardEngine" 2023-05-01 2023-09-01

This example will regenerate data with feature StandardEngine from data type 75 from May 1, 2023 to September 1, 2023.

Regenerating data with a specific license manager​

--filter "license_manager=<license manager>"

Example
regenerate_data --datatype 102 --filter "license_manager=Altair" 2024-02-27

This example will regenerate data with Altair license manager from data type 102 from February 27, 2024.

Regenerating data with a specific daemon​

--filter "daemon=<daemon>"

Example
regenerate_data --archtype licpoll2 --filter "daemon=MLM" 2023-06-01 2023-12-31

This example will regenerate data with daemon MLM from archive type licpoll2 from June 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Regenerating data with a specific product and feature​

--filter "product='<product>'&feature=<feature>"

NOTE

Make sure that the feature specified is active for the indicated product.

Example
regenerate_data --archtype flexlog2 --filter "product='server356;arcgis'&feature=Viewer" 2023-05-01 2023-06-01

This example will regenerate data with product server356;arcgis and feature Viewer from archive type flexlog2 from May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2023.

Regenerating data with specific products​

--filter "<product 1>|<product 2>|<product n>"

Example
regenerate_data --datatype 102 --filter "server078;sentinel|server965,server966,server967;dsls|server036,server037,server038;altair" 2023-07-01 2024-01-01

Regenerating data with specific features​

--filter "feature=<feature 1>|<feature 2>|<feature n>"

Example
regenerate_data --archtype licpoll2 --filter "feature=HyperWorks|SolverInApp|GlobalZoneAP|GlobalZoneEU" 2022-01-01 2022-04-01

This example will regenerate data with features HyperWorks, SolverInApp, GlobalZoneAP, and GlobalZoneEU from archive type licpoll2 from January 1, 2022 to April 1, 2022.
