[LDM #RWF-208175]: How do I verify pqinsert inserted something into the product queue?

Mike - there are several ways to check.  For the purposes of this explanation, 
I will establish the test case that you have a file called, 
"co2_data_archive.txt", and it is of file size 987453 bytes.

As an example, if you used pqinsert in the following way:

pqinsert -s 998 -f EXP -p "Todays CO2 Data" co2_data_archive.txt

You could create a pqact.conf entry to capture it on the other side of the 
queue as a validation:

#--- edit into the ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf
EXP <tab> ^Todays
<tab> FILE <tab> /data/ldm/validation/%Y%m%d_%H%M_co2data_validation.txt
#--- end of edit

You would replace the <tab> with literal tabs on your keyboard.  After you make 
this edit, you will need to HUP the pqact so it rereads the configuration file:

ldmadmin pqactHUP

That is a straight forward way, and it does test "end-to-end" that you have 
inserted the file onto an active LDM session.

Another way to exact some validation - along with any errors - is to change the 
logging file to be specific to your pqinsert instance, and set verbose and 
debugging:

pqinsert -v -x -l /home/ldm/logs/insertion.log -s 998 -f EXP -p "Todays CO2 
Data" co2_data_archive.txt

And after you do the pqinsert, open the file /home/ldm/logs/insertion.log and 
see what it says.

One last note . . . in the above examples, the ldm user will need to have 
read/write permission to the /data/ldm/validation and /home/ldm/logs paths.

Please let us know that one of these successfully gets you where you want to 
go, or if you need other methods articulated.
