Those are some long questions
I'll attempt the first. It sounds fairly simple.
You need to get the current time stamp in your initial script and pass that as an argument to your 3 scripts.
Code:
TIMESTAMP=`date +%H%M%S`
#Or whichever format you prefer it in
./$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_pharmacysplit.ksh $TIMESTAMP
./$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_controlfile.ksh $TIMESTAMP
./$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_cpfiles.ksh $TIMESTAMP
In each of these 3 scripts, you would write:
Code:
TIMESTAMP=$1
That should give you the common time stamp throughout all 3 scripts.
Regarding your second sub question, error handling should be done within the files itself. If you encounter an error, you could choose to exit with a specific error code (You can have an error code to error text mapping somewhere).
Something like:
Code:
exit 1
You can handle the return status best in your initial script itself.
Code:
TIMESTAMP=`date +%H%M%S`
#Or whichever format you prefer it in
RETURN_CODE=`$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_pharmacysplit.ksh $TIMESTAMP`
if [ $RETURN_CODE -ne 0 ]
then
#ECHO ERROR TO LOG FILE
fi
RETURN_CODE=`$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_controlfile.ksh $TIMESTAMP`
if [ $RETURN_CODE -ne 0 ]
then
#ECHO ERROR TO LOG FILE
fi
RETURN_CODE=`$POS_SCRIPT/dw_postodw_cpfiles.ksh $TIMESTAMP`
if [ $RETURN_CODE -ne 0 ]
then

create_directory
create directory(1m) create directory(1m)NAME
create directory - Creates a directory
SYNOPSIS
cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the directory The name of the clearinghouse in which you create the directory.
DESCRIPTION
The create directory command creates a directory with the name that you specify. If you do not specify a clearinghouse, CDS creates the
master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new directory's parent directory.
Privilege Required
You must have the following permissions in order to create a directory: read and insert permission to the parent directory; write permis-
sion to the clearinghouse in which the master replica of the new directory is to be stored.
In addition, the server principal must have read and insert permission to the parent directory.
NOTES
To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales. cdscp> create directory /.:/sales
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: delete directory(1m), list directory(1m), set directory(1m), set directory to skulk(1m), show directory(1m)
