      We’re planning to upgrade from Cloverleaf 5.4 and I’m trying to determine if I should hold off on 5.5 and install 5.4.1 or if I should jump straight to 5.5.  Is anyone running 5.5 found any gotchas that I should be aware of before making my decision?  We’re running AIX 5.3 as our OS.

      Thanks

      Jim

          Yes, there are ftp gotchas.

          They haven’t been fixed yet.

          Here is a copy of an email exchange I had with support.

          I fixed the responses so you don’t have to read from the bottom up.

          Re: FTP issues with 5.5 {[CASE#31000]}

          Problem Description: David, attached is the log.

          Issues I have:

          1) Outbound thread does not try to connect until a message is present.

          I want the connection to be made immediately when I start the thread.

          2) Enabling EO config to enable_all is not verbose enough with regard

          to ftp.

          3) When I stop the process as you’ll notice at the bottom of the log,

          most

          of the stuff I complained about in #2 gets spit out into the log.

          4) The Outbound directory I have configured in NetConfig is:

          //maindata/data/ftpprod/cloverleaf/cbord/test/adt_and_orders/

          but the CWD command at the bottom of the log indicates it was only

          trying to CWD into /maindata.

          That’s it for now.

          Dean tells me he got you past the primary problem of changing the working directory last week by reversing the slashes.

          On the other issues with level of logging and fact logging does not show up until process is closed R&D has recognized those as bugs and initiated enhancement requests to fix those in future rev patch.

          Yes, thanks for getting me past this problem Dean.

          I don’t know how I would have figured that out.

          David,

          The fact that I can’t use Unix slashes is still a bug.

          I should be able to use the same configuration as previous versions of Cloverleaf.

          Unix slashes should be acceptable especially since I am on a Unix box.

          Also, what about connecting when the thread is started?

          If I wanted to delay the connection until there is data present, I would

          have clicked that box in the NetConfig.

            Michael,

            Have you tried Rev 1?  Did they fix any of these issues?

              In 5.5 we found the re-send function does not work in SMAT.  In revision 1, which we just installed this week fixes this problem.  Also, in 5.5 (more of a nusiance) the network monitor can take a while to load; also fixed in revision 1.  5.5 does have some nice enhancements for xlate build.

                Scott,

                I have not tried rev 1 but here is another response from tech support when I asked if the patch fixed it…

                FTP issues with 5.5 {[CASE#31000]}

                Hi Michael,

                I was told that Dean helped you with you problem that you were having.

                  There are release notes with the Rev 1 patch that describes what is fixed and still an issue.  I recommend reading the release notes.

                  I did find a problem with hcicycleprocmsgs which is a contrib utility that uses hciconndump -v.  The hciconndump errors if the protocol is Fileset-ftp.   It’s a fairly minor fix and since it’s interpreted I made the change and submitted it to support.

                    cURL may insist on the slashes in a url path being a certain way, but it should be the forward slash, not the backslash.

                    Hi Michael,

                    I was told that Dean helped you with you problem that you were having.  It never got sumbitted as a bug.  The slashes have to be going the other direction now (windows slashes verses unix slashes).  The old driver apparently worked with slashes either way while the curl apparently insists the slashes be going a specific way.   As for the other issues, R&D were aware of your issues, but wre not added on to the current patch.  

                    Thanks,

                      I think we’re going to go ahead with 5.5.  Thanks for all the info, folks.
