Convert between file paths and ids — dbfile.file • PEcAn.DB

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.

Usage

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
