NAME

tcacompile - Trusted Collective daemon task for compiling critical information bulletins

SYNOPSIS

tcacompile blocks_group_number

DESCRIPTION

tcacompile is a background "daemon" task that periodically generates new proposed bulletins of recent critical information records and multicasts those bulletins to all nodes in the collective authority for the TC application identified by blocks_group_number. It is spawned automatically by tcaadmin in response to the 's' command that starts operation of the TC authority function for this application on the local node, and it is terminated by tcaadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command.

EXIT STATUS

"0"

tcacompile terminated, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and use tcaadmin to restart tcacompile.
"1"

tcacompile was unable to attach to TC authority operations, probably because tcaadmin has not yet been run.

FILES

No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

tcacompile can't attach to tca system.

tcaadmin has not yet initialized the authority database for this TC application.
