resend_ob_msg error out with file too large message

[Hongle Sun]

We have a tcl error log, says file too larger, at error out following error message:..

Tcl error:

msgId = none

proc = ‘resend_ob_msg’

args = ”

result = ‘file too large’

errorInfo: ‘

file too large

   while executing

“echo “Unknown mode in : ‘$mode'””

   (“default” arm line 2)

   invoked from within

“switch -exact — $mode {

       start {

           # Initialize the ob_save global if needed

           if {[lsearch [info globals] ob_save] == -1}…”

   (procedure “resend_ob_msg” line 11)

   invoked from within

“resend_ob_msg {CONTEXT reply_gen} {ARGS {}} {MODE shutdown} {VERSION 3.0}”‘…

What does it really mean? can anyone help to understand it? Thanks in advance…

Hi Hongle,

Check and see how large your process error log or main log files are.

There is a limit (1 gig on our system) on the maximum file size allowed in TCL, and the echo is probably causing one of the log files to exceed this size. Sometimes a SMAT file willl also get this problem.

The good news is you can probably get rid of the error by doing an engine stop and start on the site with the problem. We cycle daily to make sure we don’t hit this limit.

The bad news is you likely have some runaway error condition that is causing the file to fill up.

Thanks, What do you mean by stop and rerun engine? or you mean recycle log file by using hcicmd -p processa_name ‘, log_recyle’ command?

Hi Hongle,

by engine start/stop I meant these commands

hcienginestop -p process

hcienginerun -p process

now that you mention it the hcicmd to recycle the log files should also do the same thing for the log and err files.

To help with  run away log files getting to large even if doing daily log recycling, you can configure each process in the NetConfig to automatically recycle at a maximum threshold of your choosing.

Here is an example screen shot
