logPublish - publish contents of device log to SSDS

logPublish deviceID logDirectory

The logPublish utility reads data and metadata packets from the deviceID "device log" residing in logDirectory, and publishes them to the Shore Side Data System (SSDS). The SSDS ingest server must be accessible from the host on which logPublish is executed.

Device logs are generated by instrument and node services. Utilities such as  portal and getPackets retrieve the logged packets over a telemetry link, and "replicate" the log on shore. The log actually consists of two files; the '.dat' file contains the packets, and the '.idx' is an index into the .dat file (providing efficient "random" access to the .dat file). The logged packets can be displayed with the logView utility.

The following environment variables must be set:

• JAVA_HOME - location of Java installation, e.g. /j9 or /opt/java/jdk1.3.1
• JAVA - name of the JVM. E.g. on a Sidearm, JAVA should be set to j9. On a workstation with Sun's Java installed, JAVA could be set to java.
• SIAM_HOME - top of the SIAM directory tree
• SIAM_CLASSPATH - on a Sidearm, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $JAVA_HOME/lib/jclMax/classes.zip:$JAVA_HOME/lib/prsnlmot.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/RXTXcomm.jar:$SIAM_HOME/classes.  On X86 system, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $SIAM_HOME/classes
