ecflow.Autorestore

class ecflow.Autorestore

Bases: instance

Provides a way to automatically restore a previously archived node

This is required when dealing with super large suite/families, they can be archived off, and then restored later. This reduces the time to checkpoint the definition and network band width. The archived node is written to disk, as ECF_HOME/<host>.<port>.ECF_NAME.check, where ‘/’ is replaced with ‘:’ in ECF_NAME. The node can be recovered using ‘autorestore’, begin,re-queue and manually via ecflow_client –restore. The archiving is never immediate. The nodes are checked one a minute, and expired autoarchive nodes are archived. If the node is suspended or any of its parent are suspended then then the archive does not happen.

Constructor:

Autorestore( list of paths )

Usage:

attr = Autorestore( ['/s1/f1'] )           # restore archived node at /s1/f1
attr = Autorestore( ['/s1/f1','/s1/f2'] )  # restore archived node at /s1/f1 and /s1/f2

Autorestore.nodes_to_restore((Autorestore)arg1) → object :

returns a list of nodes to be restored
