Dataset strange behaviour

Post by mohiddin »

We have one dataset path set in the config file . All the datasets r going to the path mentioned in the config file.

But some datasets are going to a different dataset path mentioned in the default config file.

Please help me on this.

I assume you have different config files. At runtime the value of $APT_CONFIG_FILE determines which file is used, either the default as set in DSParams or a value passed in to the job with this parameter.

This can only happen if those jobs are using a non-default configuration file.

Probably some of your jobs aren't using or getting passed the $APT_CONFIG_FILE parameter.
