How to fix a replication transformation

If a replication transformation still has some Assigned files and possibly Failed tasks, you can use the following commands:

> dirac-transformation-debug --Status Assigned --Info tasks,files 

It will tell you what is the status of the tasks associated to Assigned files (as well as a list of these files). In case the situation is abnormal and needs fixing, an information message will be printed after the task information.

If this message terminated with use KickRequest option, you can repeat the same command adding --KickRequest.

The script will then:

• Set Processed the files that have indeed been correctly replicated.
• Set Unused the files that have not been replicated but for which the task failed.

Don't hesitate to ask the expert (Philippe) any complementary information. Option --help allows you to get all possible options for this script (in particular --LFN can be used to check the status of a given file, then omitting the --Status option)

You can give a list of transformations (comma separated)
