Convert between file paths and ids

These functions check the dbfiles and machines tables to see if the file exists, and return the container_id (dbfile.id) or full filename with path (dbfile.file) to the first one found. If none is found, both will return NA.

dbfile.file(type, id, con, hostname = PEcAn.remote::fqdn())

dbfile.id(type, file, con, hostname = PEcAn.remote::fqdn())

Arguments

type	the type of dbfile (Input, Posterior)
id	the id of container type
con	database connection object
hostname	the name of the host where the file is stored, this will default to the name of the current machine
file	the full pathname to the file

Value

filename on host, or NA if none found

Functions

• dbfile.file: Return full path to file from the dbfiles table

• dbfile.id: Return id to container type given a filename

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  dbfile.file('Input', 7, dbcon)
# }# NOT RUN {
  dbfile.id('Model', '/usr/local/bin/sipnet', dbcon)
# }
