Overview

The attached AutoUpload.zip file incudes the autoUpload script called dataCollect.pl and a small install script file called installDC.sh. The install file copies dataCollect.pl to /opt/DXi/scripts and adds the following cron entry to /etc/crontab:   

 

00 8 * * * root /usr/bin/perl /opt/DXi/scripts/dataCollect.pl >> /root/dc.out 2>&1

 

This script can be used on galaxy 1.x and all 2.x systems.  dataCollect.pl does the following:

 

• Runs /opt/DXi/collect
• Transfers the collect bundle to /incoming/ASPS/2.0AutoUpload on gps using the IP of 146.174.225.50

 

The location to where files are uploaded is controlled using $ftpDir and can/should be modified for each customer if possible:

 

1. Find the following section within dataCollect.pl:

 

# Initialize FTP variables

my $ftpHost = '146.174.225.50';

my $ftpDir = '/incoming/ASPS/2.0AutoUpload';

 

2. Change the path in $ftpDir to desired location

# Initialize FTP variables

my $ftpHost = '146.174.225.50';

my $ftpDir = '/incoming/ASPS/CustomerName'

 

3. Login to gps.quantum.com using sw_support and create the folder listed in step 2
