You should probably try restoring your NetConfig from a backup and restarting the site.

What David said. Might I also suggest you make a copy of the offending NetConfig then after you get things settled down compare to the restored NetConfig to see what is broken then try to figure out how that got broken. Do you have changes made to the NetConfig outside of the GUI?

Don’t forget revisions directory will usually contain all of your prior saves.  Located $HCISITEDIR/revisions with filenames like NetConfig99202515526.  I am just guessing an extra newline was added to your file, restore and/or compare to known working copy should help.

Thank you all for your replies,

this has been going back in time a while, it does not seem to affect messages in or out of CL. and

it does not appear on all sites, this points to Updates made to NetConfig outside of the GUI.

researching continues.

Is this happening on more than one site? This should be pretty site-specific. There’s a lot of points user entry. Make sure there’s no errant opening or closing braces in your upoc args. You shouldn’t have ANY opening or closing braces. . Can you post the netconfig? Someone can probably quickly see what is wrong.

Hello

Yes, reviewing and loading up the NetConfig to compared and find the problem, I agree with what you mentioned and it is sporadic and seems to only be in our TEST environment

which is a good thing.

[mike brown]

Here something weird from Testing, copied a PROD Netconfig to check it in my TEST Env. and the same error

occurred, which is none existent in PROD.

NetConfig Error: EOF encountered before newline while reading list from channel

Command: hcinetcheck /cloverleaf/cis20.1/integrator/vendgrp_trans6/NetConfig

Error exists only in our TEST Env..

I also used the following AWK command to find if anything is not closed correctly..

for brackets, curly braces, parenthesis all returned a value of ‘O’ meaning nothing is out of place. if i did a typo in the commands let me know please.

 

**** LOOK FOR MISSING Brackets “[ ]” OR Curly Braces “{ }” and PARENTHESIS  “( )” ***

Curly Braces
awk ‘BEGIN{o=0} {for(i=1;i<=length($0);i++){c=substr($0,i,1); if(c==”{“)o++; if(c==”}”)o–}} END{print “unmatched opens:”, o}’ \
/cloverleaf/cis20.1/integrator/vend_trans3/NetConfig

Brackets
awk ‘BEGIN{o=0} {for(i=1;i<=length($0);i++){c=substr($0,i,1); if(c==”[“)o++; if(c==”]”)o–}} END{print “unmatched opens:”, o}’ \
/cloverleaf/cis20.1/integrator/vend_trans3/NetConfig

Parenthesis

Update, Issue Resolved,

Problem was in the last line of $HCIROOT/tclprocs, w/the exception of the newline.

set auto_index(jtrxidProcess)

]

thanks to all  – closing

Now the mystery is – how did this happen? Congratulations!!
