Testing Tool: TPS Script, no output?

[Jerry Tilsley]

All,

Trying to use the testing tool to do some testing on a new tps script.  But I am not getting the expected output.

Here is the output I am getting:

Please Wait ……

Command Issued: hcitpstest -r run -a -x ASCII -f len10 -c sms_ib_data -e “hciroutetestshowbydest ” /HIC/qdx/cis5.8/integrator/emr2_support/mt_lab_burrows “tps_gl_payroll_mt_xlate”

Command output:

Here is the basic code I am using trying to troubleshoot the testing tool issue:

Code:

######################################################################
# Name: tps_gl_payroll_mt_xlate
# Programmer: Jerry M. Tilsley
# Date: January 3, 2011
# Purpose: To convert the payroll GL flat file from API for
# Meditech.
#
# UPoC type: tps
# Args: tps keyedlist containing the following keys:
#       MODE    run mode (”start”, “run” or “time”)
#       MSGID   message handle
#       ARGS    user-supplied arguments:
#

# Returns: tps disposition list:
#          
#

proc tps_gl_payroll_mt_xlate { args } {
   keylget args MODE mode               ;# Fetch mode

   set dispList {} ;# Nothing to return

   switch -exact — $mode {
       start {
           # Perform special init functions
   # N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args
       }

       run {
   # ‘run’ mode always has a MSGID; fetch and process it
#echo [exec date] tps_payroll_xlate
echo “TEST”
keylget args MSGID mh

lappend dispList “CONTINUE $mh”
       }

       time {
           # Timer-based processing
   # N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args
       }
       
       shutdown {
   # Doing some clean-up work
}
   }

   return $dispList
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,

The -e argument shows that you have selected a “route test” proc in the testing tool for TPS.  To display your run results for TPS testing select “hcitpstestshowbydisp”.

Hope that helps you out.

By the way, if you are using CIS5.7, there is a feature whereby the “send to proc” reverts back to the default proc when you change the TCL that you want to test or when you add/remove TCLs from a stack (if you have selected more than one proc).  You have to re-select the “Send to proc” again.  Reported as a bug to Lawson Cloverleaf support last month (12/10) from our shop.  

Good luck, good hunting!

Bob,

Thanks for the reply, I changed to the showbydisp proc, but this did not help.  Also, I am running 5.8 in a test/development environment.  Never had this issue before.  If I do a Route test then the results come back, but nothing under the TPS test section.

Thanks!

Jerry,

That is strange indeed.  Can you post an image of your test tool configuration?  That would be helpful here.  

Perhaps a shop that is running the 5.8 engine will respond

(we are 5.7).  I would suggest that if no one responds from a 5.8 shop then feel no hesitation in contacting Lawson Cloverleaf support.

Come next Monday 1/10 we have to use the website case method as calls and email contacts will not be valid.

Let us know how your issue turns out.

Jerry,

Just a couple of quick checks here:

(1) file newline delimted or length encoded or eof?

(2) always check “leak detection” (my preference)

(3) always check “initial startup”  (my preference)

The file here is length encoded.  I usually do use the leak check, but here just trying to figure out what is going on with this I didn’t use it.

UPDATE:

I run this through the command line to see what it would do and I do get output.  So the issue is just with the GUI.  That help narrow it down?

[Jerry Tilsley]

It appears that I am just too impatient!  The file I was running through to test the new script just happens to be a really large data file and was taking quite some time to process.  Everything is working now!

Thanks for all the help!
