It’s under linux.

Found out the reason was Cloverleaf 6.1 is using the hostname to make the socket connection for routing between processes.

When we had the updates done, the server IP address was changed, but the hosts file hadn’t been updated with the new IP address, so was trying to talk to the old IP.

I still don’t understand the logic…Read more

Currently we have a couple of cloverleaf sites that need to route between processes.

We recently had extra firewall rules added, which broke the routing between the processes, because the routing appears to make a tcp socket connection using the primary IP address rather than localhost.

Is there any way to get cloverleaf to use localhost…Read more

Have a look at the “identity” encoding: https://usspvlclovertch2.infor.com/viewtopic.php?t=6138

When a inbound message comes in and the inbound format is binary, Cloverleaf still uses encoding to convert the data.
The result is that any processing for…Read more

It’s best to ensure the exec folders are read only for other users to prevent accidentally creating files under the wrong user.

still probably good to discuss it with management, even if its “cross skill” with another application person, so that if one of you are missing, there’s still someone able to do the basics.

We’ve had times when there’s only one, but management have been willing to find another person who can take on support while the primary is away.

Might be possible to contract an extra support person, but I’m sure there’s little niggles that need to be handled in a specific way which…Read more

Unfortunately you cannot just update the siteInfo file in $HCIROOT/siteProto
for some reason the hcisiteinit ignores these parameters.

There’s also the below if you don’t wan’t every log line to be…Read more

If you set the inbound and outbound encoding to binary or passthrough, it should send the message correctly, but it will still display it incorrectly in the logs.

I can’t remember what you need to set the thread encoding to. I think it may be passthrough or binary.

For background cloverleaf does encoding from the default tcl encoding (utf-8) to the encoding specified in…Read more

If you keep logs of the server activity, it’ll show higher than normal io wait if this occurs.

Stopping the process may work for the CAAWS cases if needed. Was just checking if there was a way of pulling a message out…Read more

I forgot the reason that we use KILL is to ensure that we don’t flood the down stream system will messages, and cause more issues with filled up logs.

If KILLREPLY/PROTO is used in sms_ib_reply, it will resend immediately, with no timeout before resending.

If KILL is used, it will go to the Timeout Handling, so we…Read more

Also not 100% convinced about the code for that proc. Should the OBMSGID message be killed? I’m thinking the handling for this case changed in 5.8 (could be wrong).

To accept the reply and process the next message:
return “{KILLREPLY $mh}”

To resend the…Read more

If you have a Root CA that you use within your organisation, then you may need to get a keystore set up for yourself, and your vendor (one for your server, one for the vendor).

If the vendor is providing the certificates, then request that they provide you with a keystore or…Read more

If there is a long period between messages, the networking equipment may timeout the connection. The result will be the server does not know about the disconnection and holds the port open.

Another possible option if its something connecting to the wrong environment, is to use different port ranges for the…Read more

I haven’t done a full check if this breaks anything.

There may be a workaround by changing innerElementCountThreshold to a higher value, but I’m not hugely familiar with java beans, so I haven’t worked out where it goes:

If you only need to get a new session id on startup or predefined intervals, you could also save the session id somewhere, then use the TPS Outbound Data (sms_ob_data) to check if the session id is ok, then use OVER as per David’s message. I believe this skips the call to get the session id.

I was assuming MTOM Enabled was for the inbound message, but it is for the outbound reply for the ws-server.
If I disable it I can still receive MTOM messages, but the outbound will be as I want it.

Code:
proc session_reply {args} {
   global HciConnName
   keylget args MODE       aMode

I’ve had this issue with some applications before.
The likely issue is that they are not reading the socket correctly and assuming everything is in one packet rather than split across multiple packets. The result is the message is only half received and they get into a dodgy state.…Read more

The problem is that the tcl parser assumes the text is in utf-8 format. So when another encoding is used, the data is corrupted.

It appears that there is an issue when “Run translation procs in start-mode” and “Multi-threaded Translation” is enabled at the same time.

I’ve added an example of where it works ok and where it fails.
The only difference is that XLATESTARTMODE is…Read more

In the WS Client config, create a new HTTP Conduit, and add the file path to the Truststore file. You’ll also need the password for the file, which would have been given to you along with the file.

There is a script that runs as a cron job that executes a tcl script which can set the environment using hcisetenv and calls msiAttach/msiGetStatSample.
This was using the 5.8 version of hcitcl, which apparently is incompatible with 6.1 for these calls.
The result must have updated the shared memory, causing the…Read more

It seems to be the same threads that have the issue when it occurs, but there is almost no difference between the ones that show ok and the ones that…Read more

The loading of the NetConfig is in: $HCIROOT/tcl/lib/cloverleaf/nci.tlib

Its a good idea to set the timeout value for sqlite when opening the database.
If the timeout is not set, it will return an error if the table is locked. If it is set it will take up to the…Read more

I ended up going with using an Xlate with the following Post Proc in the Route Message section.
The Xlate stores the relevant information in the USERDATA.
The result will kill or continue depending on the fault status in the USERDATA, and a reply message is rerouted to the Route Replies.
The reply is…Read more

Is there a sample anywhere for this case?
Otherwise I’ll have a play to try figure it out.

Typically when we receive data over a firewall/vpn, we will set up a multi-server connection, because firewalls/vpns typically behave this way. I would hope they can set up their side this way, and this is the way it…Read more

The “ideal” way of handling them is:

I’m just a little curious about the consequences of using SMATDB over the flat files.

Currently we have jobs that run nightly to cycle the smat files, gzip them up and archive them. At present this goes back indefinitly, so we can still get information from 2000 if required.
This job also updates a sqlite database with some metadata about…Read more
