[Orca-users] moving orca input files

[RJNiesz at dstoutput.com]

yes, when I say orcallator files, I am referring to the text file created 
by  orcallator.

On my initial attempt on the migration, I only copied over all the 
historical orcallator files assuming that all the old data and graphs 
would be regenerated on the initial run of orca. That did happen, but then 
I deleted the old orcallator files, and then on subsequent runs of orca, 
all the historical stuff was gone.

I just deleted all  files from my new orca install except what came with 
the software. I then copied all the rrd files from the old server to the 
new server. Then copied just the new days orcallator files from the 
clients to the server.

I am running orca now (with -v -v -v), and am hoping when it completes 
that I will have current data as well as the historical stuff still 
intact. 

I'll let you know.

Thanks again,
Russ

When you say orcallator files, just to be clear, these are different than 
the 
rrd files.  Did you copy these over also?

Very odd.  I would run orca with the -v -v -v command line options and log 
the 
output to see what happened.

Great.

Thanks,
