file inxpdUser/config_base/yml/

- Place a copy of the tarball into remote archive directory
pe1_data/.userBeamtimeArchive/
- Verify that the archival copy is present and can be accessed
- Delete everything except under
xpdUser
- Keep operator informed of what is going on
Process Steps¶
- Please have a rough idea about the file size of
xpdUser
tree. Get this information by right click onxpdUser
folder in file browser.- Type
_end_beamtime()
at command prompt. Program will start to archive (uncompressed) entirexpdUser
. This process usually takes a while. Please be patient and wait until it’s finished- After archiving, program will ask you to check remote copy. Please check if file size to remote copy is roughly as large as the size to local
xpdUser
tree.- Now there could be two possibility
File size and contents of remote copy are confirmed to be consistent wit local tree
Enter
y
in the inteactive command prompt then program will flush all directories underxpdUser
and successfully end a beamtime.File size or contents in remote copy appear to be inconsistent with local tree
Please answer
n
in the interactive command prompt and program will stop at this point. No user data will be removed. Please report a bug on github
