Possible errors in v6.9

this is from the command prompt window...

What is causing this ?
Should we be worried that some updates are being missed ?

my version is 6.9 which is the latest version as this time ( of writing this post )

Please check, if you have full access to the folder C:\Temp

Is C:\Temp your %TEMP% Folder?
Normal is C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Temp

Hi!

this is from the command prompt window...

[...]

[...]

How much RAM does your computer have?

[someone2]

my %temp% == c:\Temp

Full Access to %temp% is there

RAM = 4 GB and of the about 927 MB is used...

so that is not a problem

The system cannot find the file C:\Temp\SupersededFileIdsSorted.txt.

Could Not Find C:\Temp\SupersededFileIdsSorted.txt

FINDSTR: Cannot read strings from C:\Temp\SupersededFileIdsUnique.txt

how about adding if errorlevel 1 goto errorhandler: after findstr

[someone2]

the error is being caused by the following line in DownloadUpdates.cmd

Code: Select all

%SystemRoot%\system32\sort.exe "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIds.txt" /O "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIdsSorted.txt"

the sort.exe is throwing up this error


Not enough main memory to complete the sort.

am trying to find the cause of this error.

[someone2]

i found the solution to it

in DownloadUpdates.cmd
changing that line from

Code: Select all

%SystemRoot%\system32\sort.exe "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIds.txt" /O "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIdsSorted.txt"

to

Code: Select all

type "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIds.txt" | sort >  "%TEMP%\SupersededFileIdsSorted.txt"

This would enable sort to handle any size of file sizes without any problems

[WSUSUpdateAdmin]

Hmm...

Code: Select all

SORT [/R] [/+n] [/M kilobytes] [/L locale] [/REC recordbytes]
  [[drive1:][path1]filename1] [/T [drive2:][path2]]
  [/O [drive3:][path3]filename3]
  /+n                         Specifies the character number, n, to
                              begin each comparison.  /+3 indicates that
                              each comparison should begin at the 3rd
                              character in each line.  Lines with fewer
                              than n characters collate before other lines.
                              By default comparisons start at the first
                              character in each line.
  /L[OCALE] locale            Overrides the system default locale with
                              the specified one.  The ""C"" locale yields
                              the fastest collating sequence and is
                              currently the only alternative.  The sort
                              is always case insensitive.
  /M[EMORY] kilobytes         Specifies amount of main memory to use for
                              the sort, in kilobytes.  The memory size is
                              always constrained to be a minimum of 160
                              kilobytes.  If the memory size is specified
                              the exact amount will be used for the sort,
                              regardless of how much main memory is
                              available.

                              The best performance is usually achieved by
                              not specifying a memory size.  By default the
                              sort will be done with one pass (no temporary
                              file) if it fits in the default maximum
                              memory size, otherwise the sort will be done
                              in two passes (with the partially sorted data
                              being stored in a temporary file) such that
                              the amounts of memory used for both the sort
                              and merge passes are equal.  The default
                              maximum memory size is 90% of available main
                              memory if both the input and output are
                              files, and 45% of main memory otherwise.
  /REC[ORD_MAXIMUM] characters Specifies the maximum number of characters
                              in a record (default 4096, maximum 65535).
  /R[EVERSE]                  Reverses the sort order; that is,
                              sorts Z to A, then 9 to 0.
  [drive1:][path1]filename1   Specifies the file to be sorted.  If not
                              specified, the standard input is sorted.
                              Specifying the input file is faster than
                              redirecting the same file as standard input.
  /T[EMPORARY]
    [drive2:][path2]          Specifies the path of the directory to hold
                              the sort's working storage, in case the data
                              does not fit in main memory.  The default is
                              to use the system temporary directory.
  /O[UTPUT]
    [drive3:][path3]filename3 Specifies the file where the sorted input is
                              to be stored.  If not specified, the data is
                              written to the standard output.   Specifying
                              the output file is faster than redirecting
                              standard output to the same file.


Especially:

• The best performance is usually achieved by not specifying a memory size. [...]
• Specifying the input file is faster than redirecting the same file as standard input.
• Specifying the output file is faster than redirecting standard output to the same file.

That's why I did it the way it is now.
I wonder why you get this prob and noone else...

i can copy the text files from %temp% at that step and email you if you want to investigate ...
