Saved Messages

Cloverleaf 5.2 on Solaris8 with Veritas clustering

I’ve just gone live with an ordercomms interface which is generating inbound and outbound saved message files on all threads. I intend to reduce the number of files once I am confident that all is well. The problem is that these files grow very quickly. Is there a way I can cycle them automatically without taking the interfaces down?

Thanks,

Dave

We run a cron script that cycles and compresses our saved message files on a nightly basis.  Since you can run the cycle save via the command line it works out well.  

Example: hcicmd -p pacs_prod -c ‘stentor_prod save_cycle in’

I’ve tried something like that but when you do any hci command in cron you get all sorts of environment errors. How do you set the required environment variables in cron?

00 17 * * * /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘export QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/quovadx/qdx5.3; /myexecutable’ >> /tmp/myexecutable.log 2>&1

We are on AIX, but this may work for Sun also:

We put FPATH=… and QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=… in our /etc/environment file.  (Actually our 5.3 installation did most of this.)

Our crontab entries look like

0 3 * * * setroot; scriptname

If the script needs to run for a particular site (other than the default site), we use

0 3 * * * setroot; setsite mysite; scriptname

The install adds thses lines to the /etc/environment file:

# begin HCIenv 5.3

FPATH=/hci/quovadx/qdx5.3/integrator/kshlib

QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/hci/quovadx/qdx5.3

# end HCIenv 5.3

If they’re not there for some reason you can add them.

Also, the traditional crontab entry that runs setroot first is:

59 23 * * * /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘eval `/qdx/quovadx/qdx5.1/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -root ksh /qdx/quovadx/qdx5.1/integrator mysite`;archiveSmatFiles.htc mysite 30’ >/qdx/quovadx/qdx5.1/integrator/mysite/archiveSmatFiles.log 2>&1

I

[Dennis Pfeifer]

notice the /sbin/ .. instead of /bin/

also .. I’ve gone to the following ..

##52 23 * * * /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘export QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/quovadx/qdx5.3; . ~/.profile; setsite utsw1hub; /quovadx/qdx5.3/integrator/scripts/UTcyclesavemsgs -d’ >/tmp/UTcyclesavemsgs.log 2>&1

it pretty much covers everything! ..

could also do a setroot if you wish

Dennis,

No joy – based upon your example, this is my cron job in hci:

38 16 * * * /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘export QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/quovadx/qdx5.2; . ~/.profile; setsite frihlxtrn; /export/home/hci/cycletest’ >/export/home/cloverleaf/logs/testsmat.log 2>&1

and this is the error I got:

/usr/bin/ksh: setsite:  not found

No root is set.

ld.so.1: /quovadx/qdx5.2/integrator/bin/hcitcl: fatal: libtcl8.3.so: open failed: No such file or directory

which setsite

set

do you see these functions..

setroot ()

{

   eval `${QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR}/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -root ksh $*`

}

setsite ()

{

   eval `${QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR}/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -site ksh $*`

}

you should be able to execute these directly .. as Greg did…

[David Harrison]

Dennis,

Finally got it to work before taking poison.

15 10 * * * QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/quovadx/qdx5.2; export QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR; /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘eval `/quovadx/qdx5.2/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -root ksh /quovadx/qdx5.2/integrator frihlxtrn`;/export/home/hci/cycletest’ >/export/home/cloverleaf/logs/testsmat.log 2>&1

Thanks,

Dave
