osf_delete

NOTE: When running on a case sensitive operating system (e.g. UNIX), you must supply values that match the case of the OSF blackboard (typically lowercase).

Usage:

% osf_delete -p pathfilename -f filename [-s status]

[-t type] [-n current_number] [-c column]

p : name of the path file. This does not include the directory specification. The path is assumed to be in opus_definitions_dir. No default.

f : name of the observation or fileset. This is often the root name of an exposure, but might be the rootname of any dataset. No default.

t : datatype of the dataset. This is usually the instrument, but might also be 'ANC' for ancilliary data or 'OMA' for grand mamas. Default = match any.

n : the DCF number - or any 3 digit number to distinguish (and sort) the observation status files. Default = match any.

c : the column in the observation status file. This is a two character field. The column identifier must exist in the pipeline.stage file. More than one -c option may be specified provided that there are matching -s options. Default = (first column)

s : status letter to be used as a selection criteria with column selection "c". Default = 'P'.

Returned status value is: '0' on success, '1' on general failure, or '2' on failure due to a persistent file lock.

$ osf_delete -p blue.path -f N42T3TAUQ -t NIC -n 107 -c DE -s P

Deletes the Observation Status File (OSF)

34041E70-P_______________________.N42T3TAUQ______________-NIC-107-____

from the blue path. If there was only a single OSF in blue.path with the given dataset name, then the data_id, dcf_number, and OSF column and status values are not needed.
