U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS issue

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:13:56 +0200

Hello ORSYP guys,

I've tried to setup the optimization of resources manipulation according to the manual on windows NODE:

###########################
Optimization of Resources operating commands
The uxrls res command works on all Areas, the connection attempts to access all possible IO servers. This may waste time where Areas are not active.

To avoid this, the U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS variable may be defined with the codes of the active Areas to optimize performance

For example, if the A and X Areas are the only Areas used, the variable must contains "AX".

On Unix, in ksh:

U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS="AX"

export U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS

On Windows

set U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS="AX"

This environment variable must be set in the logical environment of the batch that executes the uxrls command. It should also be defined in the uxsetenv environment file.

#######################

Used areas are SIM/EXP so I was expected, that the applying ($U v54)

set U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS="SX" in uxsetenv.bat

will remove obsolete u_io_callsrv entries in universe.log for not active areas (A,I) when working with resources eg.: I area:

u_io_callsrv(on XXX,YYYY,I) returns error -1

I noticed that this configuration works only in case, the variable is set also for the universe.def/{company}.def files (at leats in {company}.def)
U_RES_AVAIL_AREAS "SX".

Then the resource manipulation is faster
and works "without" spamming the universe log for inactive areas,
for both allocation/deallocation of log_res from GUI as well for the automatic hold of resource when applying resource condition in uproc.

############

In case this approach is correct, I assume the related $U manual should contain addtional information to add the variable also into def file/s.

What do you think?

Thank you for help in advance

Kind regards,

Peter

Solved : Email notification configuration

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:09:00 +0200

Hi,

We use the Dollar Universe 5.3 version with a console version 2.4 at customer location.
Server nodes on Unix and accessing console from Windows.

Have tried to configure the email notification setting on a UPROC.

Following the 'Email Notification configuration.pdf' attachment, following things have been done:
1. From the console, choose email configuration option
2. Select the required node
3. Provide the host name detail in 'Default' option
4. Access the UPROC in edit mode:
4a) select option of 'Email Notification'
4b) select all options on the window, including attach job log (100kb)
4c) provide the required email id in the email id column [2 email ids given]
4d) its a CL_INT uproc, so, code within the file is just 'exit 0'
4e) No dependency condition provided on the UPROC, its created only to test email notification.
5. Launch and execute the UPROC
6. UPROC executes successfully. Mail not sent, no attachment.
7. Checked the smtp_email.txt , noticed that it was updated with the configuration provided through GUI
8. Checked the unix server mailhost to see if it is active. It is active.
9. Re-configured the 'App' area setting overriding 'Use Default' option.
10. Tried re-running the UPROC to check if we receive emails.
No luck!

Am I missing any step in the configuration?

11. Next tried mailx -s option within the CL_INT file of the UPROC to check if that works. [gave one email id here]
Re-run of the UPROC sent the email only to the recipient mentioned in the mailx -s option.

The requirement is that the status of the UPROC needs to be sent to users of downstream systems. With mailx -s option also, I will need help in understanding how to send the status of the UPROC and attach the job log.
Where could we get these details from?

Please help, running out of time and ideas now

Thank you very much in advance.

Solved : Delayed start of uprocs in-stream

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:15:16 +0200

Hello all,

In our shop, we are experiencing a problem on one of our systems wherein multiple programs queued in a session we observe a delay of up to 30 seconds before the launch of the next uproc. This only occurs on one of our systems, and we were hoping that it was controlled by an environmental variable. Does anyone else encounter this issue, and if so, what can we do to overcome it?

Thanks so much for your help

For example:

Solved : Distribution of UPROCs

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:17:01 +0200

Hi,

Distribution of the UPROC to a remote node, can this functionality be prevented from any node, either working as host node or as the remote node?

Please let us know so that distribution can be done in controlled manner only.
In a controlled manner, we currnetly use /uxext and /uxins to export import. Is there a best practice way of exporting and importing sessions along with UPROCs to a different area/node?

We are using v5.3 of Dollar Universe with server on unix and accessing console through Windows (v2.4)

Solved : Session with too many possibilities

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 13:39:43 +0100

Hi,

I would like to chain sequentially multiple Uproc within a session :
- Uproc 30 must run whatever the result of Uproc 20 (Completed or Aborted)
- Uproc 20 must run whatever the result of Uproc 10 (Completed or Aborted)

The only way I found is to create two branches for each Uproc (normal and error),
please refer to attached sample file.

http://www.orsypforum.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=158

It could be acceptable for 3 Uproc but it is quite impossible to manage for sessions
with about ten Uproc (too much combinations for the binary tree !!!)

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Solved : Start time of a uproc

Solved : How to use the versioning

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:41:56 +0100

Hi all,

I want to implement the versioning of the Uprocs and Sessions to allow the Development team to manage what they release and where but as I'm trying to understand creating a few objects I'm getting more and more confuse...

My questions:
- Does a lot of you use the versioning and if you have some feedback on it? Works good, problems, tricks,...
- Do I have to duplicate my uproc/session everytime I want to upgrade the version? And then delete the previous one?
- Does the "Current version" action on a uproc work for a task? I can see it upgrades my session with the new version of the uproc but the uproc version remains the same in the task (if it's the first uproc of the task).
- How do you manage the uxordre command when you have to specify the version of the uproc/session?

I know it's a lot of questions but I think it can be interesting as I found nothing on the Forum speaking about the versioning.

Many thanks for any comment

Solved : Error when trying to access data from Unix on Windows boxes

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 08:44:12 +0100

Hello
First of all, i'm sorry for my little level of english...

Now about my problem
for description, we have $universe installed on servers windows and unix.
What I'm trying to do, is to create some scripts that check jobs status on other servers from one Unix.
When I'm trying to do check remote Unix servers, there is no problem at all.

But when I try to query windows servers, command uxlst does not return anything and I have the following error message in universe.log
<< 2009-03-26 08:22:54 0729100/uxlst /u_io_callsrv_gen /000000000 - Error connecting IO server on host [servername.domain]: Errno syserror 79: Connection refused

For information, when I run my script for commande line, it works well. But as soon as it is launched by $U, it fails.

I'm sure i miss some configuration points, but for the moment, I'm not able to find it.

Thanks in advance if you can help

Solved : Using CMD.EXE rather than COMMAND.COM

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:35:05 +0200

Hello

Not sure if this is in the right place.

I am talking about $U running in a purely Wintel environment. When a job executes it runs the following sequence:

--> U_Batch.bat
--> uxsetenv.bat
--> uxjobinit.exe
--> U_ANTE_PROC
--> UPROC Script
--> U_POST_PROC
--> uxjobend.exe

When those batch files run, they run within an instance of 16 bit command.com. Is there any way to modify the environment so that they are actually running CMD files and launching an instance of CMD.EXE?

Control generic session which runs between 2 nodes

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:19:21 +0200

There is a generic session which must run between 2 nodes, 1 & 2 (on separate servers). In the session there are 5 UPROCs, a Begin an End and 3 UPROCs in between which I'll call A B & C for the sake of arguement. The Begin and End run on node 1 and A,B & C run on node 2.

To add to this there are 2 (or more but for now just 2 will be considered) environments, alpha and beta, that require to run this session. Each environment runs the same code but a different version. Both environments need to run the begin and end UPROCs on node 1 but on node 2 environment alpa needs to run A & B but only C at the end of the month. Beta needs to run A & C but B at the end of the month.

To allow for the different environments the session can be run using different users with a variable set to move to the correct location environment depentant on the user.

To allow for the the session to run on different node MUs can be hardcoded in the SESSION, using, specific node, so that each UPROC runs on the required node.

To allow for the different types of run optional tasks could be used so that only on certain days do environment alpha and beta run uprocs C & B respectively.

The problem is that tasks are setup using MUs and not users and so as the MUs are alredy being used to specify server rather than environemnt this menas that optional tasks cannot be used so a single generic SESSION cannot be employed.

Is there another way to do this with one session. Something like a generic session that can have UPROCS in run on a particular node but then within the node run on a particular MU, MU within a MU if you like? Would it possible to change MU within a session using a parameter rather than hardcoding, something like if user = userA then MU = userA MU.

If the number of environments increases you can see that duplicating the session for each environment is not ideal as administatrion and control gets difficult.

Starting Motif GUI on Linux System

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:47:19 +0200

Hello,

i have a little problem starting the Motif GUI under Linux.

We use the X-Server Reflection X Version 14 from Attachmate.

I establish a "XDMCP direct"-Session to a HP-UX server. On this server i open a dtterm and make an ssh to a linux server.

Now i start the Universe Motif GUI with the following commands:

CODE

/usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge $UXMGR/xdefaults_universe
/usr/bin/nohup $UXEXE/UNIVERSE EN > /dev/null 2> /tmp/uni_start.log

But no GUI will start. The strange thing is that when i use these commands on an solaris or hp-ux system the GUI starts as expected.

When i use the following comands the GUI starts as expected:

CODE

/usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -load $UXMGR/xdefaults_universe
/usr/bin/nohup $UXEXE/UNIVERSE EN > /dev/null 2> /tmp/uni_start.log

But now all other new windows in my XDMCP Session use not the right fonts. The font sizes are too big or too small.

The reason is the xrdb -load command. With this command i overwrite the local resources of the XDMCP Session.

When i use an other X-Server-Session type where no local resources are set the xrdb -merge method will start the GUI.

Have anybody a clue for me?

Length of Uproc Names

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:21:51 +0200

Hello,

We are using $U 5.0 mostly for SAP.
We have the problem, that our Uprocnames only can have 10 characters. Our SAP Jobnames have 32 characters.
In that case we always have two Jobnames.

Our SAP Experts use the SAP Jobname
Our $U Experts use the Upocjobname

Not really good

It would be very helpful to have only one Jobname which is the key for everyone.

The lenght of 10 characters for Uprocnames should be extend to min. 32 characters in new $U Versions.

Are there any customers maybe SAP customers with the same problem?
