ADL_Packer crash

[houchin]

Hi,

I'm trying to run the ADL_Packer manually (trying to pack a VIIRS-OBC-IP) and it's crashing on me:

Code: Select all

proc8:~/t/daveout/outputs $ADL_HOME/bin/ADL_Packer.exe 4e8ca7b3-a5731-a8c0d009-3a5717ad t/ $ADL_HOME/cfg/DDS_DDSUTIL_GuideList.cfg
FATAL ERROR :
Exception Stack:
> Exception encountered in 'DDSUTIL_DMSManager.cpp', method 'initialize', line 155
> Exception encountered in 'DDSUTIL_DMSManager.cpp', method 'initialize', line 138 : DMS API Client error : Invalid instance path

A quick search for that error message turned up nothing. Any ideas? I have modified the values of DDS_DBG_PATH and DMS_PATH to use just the value of an environment variable, but the directories pointed to do exist and any necessary trailing slashes are kept in the .cfg file.

It appears that the DMS client does not think it has a valid input path. For the stand alone packer, that path comes from $INFTK_DM_ROOT. So, make sure $INFTK_DM_ROOT is set to the directory containing the data you want to pack.

This is explained in section 5.8.11 of User Manual part 2. In ADL 3.1, we've cleaned up the packer a bit such that the usage statement is better and you no longer have to specify the same guide list every time (DDS_DDSUTIL_GuideList.cfg).

If setting $INFTK_DM_ROOT does not fix the problem, please post the log file.

Ooops. Missed that in the manual. Thanks for the pointer.
