[Shake-dev] Problems with generating scenarios

Thu Mar 20 15:13:31 MST 2008

I am having problems with the genex program, when it calls /usr/local/ShakeMapPipe/perl/lib/Genex/Html.pm, as you can see by the following run. Its actually crashing on a time subroutine, presumably because month is 0. Where the call is coming from I am not sure (note the strings 'Build' and 'Recent' are not in the programs  bin/genex).

I have successfully generated scenarios before. But I cannot now regenerate these previously successful scenarios.

I don't see any problems with the input xml files.

The problem may have arisen after I had to manually edit our MySQL database. The cancel program would not remove old, unwanted, scenarios. So I went into that database, and deleted rows corresponding to scenarios we wished to disappear from the scenarios.html page from the earthquake, shake_runs and shake_version tables.

If anyone has any insight into how to move forward, please let me know.

Related questions: 

1. In the event.xml file for a scenario, in the earthquake tag, does the id field have to be a number, or should it reflect the name of the scenario (e.g. 196403190336_se)? I was wondering if putting alphabetic characters in there had something to do with the cancel program not being able to remove scenarios from the database successfully. I have generally been calling my scenarios something like 'Denali_Fault_se', using this for the directory name (under data/) and for the id field.

2. For some scenarios my predecessor generated here, the grid.xml file is full of zeros. When I copied the input files to a new directory (and changed the id), last week I was able to generate scenarios with valid grid.xml files. Yet when I reran the original scenarios, first deleting all directories apart from input, once again there was a blank grid.xml file. What could be causing this? It seems there is absolutely no difference in the input data, so is there perhaps something in the MySQL database that stops a valid grid.xml file being generated?
