what to do if an update fails

ccp analysis has a very nice update feature. However, if it fails you can get in a state where you can't start analysis to get the updates. So here are two simple cures (one is from Tim and uses a python interface, the second is just how to get to the update site with a web browser to pull down raw files).

To run the update agent without analysis running

  1. initialise you analysis environment so the ccpn root directory is set e.g. setenv
    CCPN_HOME ... in csh syntax or export CCPN_HOME='...' in sh syntax
  2. if need be setup you pythonpath to include the ccpn directories
  3. python $CCPN_HOME/python/ccpnmr/update/UpdatePopup.py and proceed as usual

to use a web browser...

  1. http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/~ccpn/ccpNmrUpdate
  2. this directory will contain files of the form python__temp_ccpnmr__temp_analysis_.py where would be Util for Util.py for example
  3. download save and install
