      One other interesting note I was able to to use the export MAXDATA command from my first post and set the process to 1GB.  I was then able to use a tcl proc in the tps inbound stack to check the message size and if greater than 50mB copy OBX-5.1 to OBX-5.5 then set OBX-2 equals to “LARGEPDF”.  In the xlate I added an If clause around the OBX-5.1 to OBX-5.5 to skip the copy command.  The xlate does use a pathcopy on the OBX segment which when deactivating the OBX-5.1 to OBX-5.5 copy statement still allowed the message to cross.  This made me realize how much memory allocation the XPM engine requires when using a copy statement.  Just to reiterate support mentioned since increasing MAXDATA above 3GB still did not allow the xlate OBX-5.1 to OBX-5.5 to work they suggested to offload the pdf locally (local disc storage) before the xlate and then add it back to the message after the xlate in the Outbound tab TPS outbound data stack.

        We came across this issue again running CIS 2022.09.03 on AIX 7.2 TL 5, 75MB pdf caused an unalloc error.   Support confirmed the engine on version 2025.01.01 will be migrated to 64 bit and hopefully this issue will no longer persist.  Received an update in KB2293813 where the release notes were linked in excel spreadsheet Cloverleaf_Integration_Services_Release_Report_2025.01.02_OP

        Migrate AIX engine to 64-bit runtime – Cloverleaf AIX 64-bit support (CISCL-10294)

         

        <td width=”525″>1. IBM XL C/C++ Runtime environment package 16.1 for AIX is required to support Cloverleaf AIX 64-bit executables. Please refer to [https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-xl-cc-runtime-aix-161|https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-xl-cc-runtime-aix-161] for more details.
        2. EXTSHM shall NOT be set in the environment, like in .cshrc file for tcsh or /etc/environment.
        3. Disable AIX Large Program Support, remove MAXDATA setting in the environment variable LDR_CNTRL or do not ldedit Cloverleaf executables again.

          Great topic of discussion.  On our side we try to filter using TCL similar to what Rob stated this dates back to hardware performance and Infor’s recommendation and best practices.  It would be nice with the new CIS versions being released if Infor would release a new updated best practices document.   Appreciate Jim’s feed back regarding chaining xlates as it’s another option I’ve never given much thought to regarding filtering but could see it being beneficial for clients with limited experience.

            Thanks Tim all this information is extremely helpful and very promising to see Cloverleaf is having no throughput issues with that amount of device volume per day you provided.  Also appreciate the NetConfig screen shot, it did come through and is viewable.

                I was told by support there is no options feature to keep this enabled, hopefully this will be added as a feature enhancement.

                  Hi David,

                  We are on CIS 2022.09.03 and I had opened a ticket with Infor regarding this as well

                   

                  Update from Infor unfortuantely no date of resolution for this so depending on where the tcl proc is created you would need to do the following:

                   

                  1. Tcl proc created from script editor, after saving proc NetConfig would have be closed and reopened.
                  2. Tcl proc created from Text editor, after saving proc and running mktclindex entire IDE (CIS GUI) would have be closed and reopened for new tcl proc to be available.

                   

                  “CISCL-10409 created for tracking fix for this to be added in a future patch. I have heard back from development. This had been reported to development already and what we call a product Jira to track correcting and will be in a future patch. To see if this specific problem is in a specific patch search for CISCL-10409. I do not have a date for when it will be patched at this time.”

                    Pretty frustrating the hoops you have to now jump through just to get release notes and changes for new versions.  It use to be released with the new versions in the download center now it’s placed in some excel spreadsheet with a bunch of other stuff that you have to search for the version CIS version number for any hits as a KB I think.  No clue why Infor would think this is a better way of handling this for their customers.   If anyone has issues finding this information I would suggest opening a ticket with Infor support.

                        Hi Jeff,

                        We came across a similar issue regarding read timeout errors on a few of our inbound threads due to message size of base64 encoded pdf’s, we ended up having to adjust the timeout setting to higher value besides the default of 30.   This might be something to adjust on your side and see if it helps, for some of our systems we upped this to 300.  We also came across another issue where the HL7 message was just to large in general to receive but Infor support confirmed this is an AIX problem only apparently.

                          Hi Tim ,

                          We are running the same version of AIX, 7.2, talking with our AIX admins they are stating the same thing that AIX appears to be 64bit enabled yet hciengine is only 32bit.  I’ve taken this back to Infor support and they are asking the developers about this.    I’m hoping at some point CIS will be able to run at 64bit however it was explained to me the limitation is on the AIX which doesn’t seem to be the case with the what I’m finding out however there may be other factors involved that Infor’s developers may clarify regarding AIX.  Will post what I find out and I also attached the document that Infor provided regarding this issue.

                            You could echo variable backupCmd out the contents of the command like the .help but if you wanted to trap an error there’s a few ways this could be accomplished with the tcl catch command.

                            set rc [catch {set backupCmd [exec sqlite $dbFile < $batchFileName]} error]
                            echo “rc $rc”
                            echo “error $error”

                            I updated the spelling of the dot command so it would fail:

                            rc 1
                            error Error: unknown command or invalid arguments: “b”. Enter “.help” for help

                            Then updated the backup command and ran it successfully:

                            rc 0
                            error

                            Another way would be to wrap the catch with an If statement and forgo the set rc (return code) command.

                              Hi Jim,

                              I’ve done something like this in the past to issue the sqlite dot commands via tcl.  There may be an easier way but I know this does work.

                              #!/usr/bin/env tcl

                              global hciRoot
                              global hciSite
                              global siteDir

                              set hciRoot $env(HCIROOT)
                              set hciSite $env(HCISITE)
                              set siteDir $env(HCISITEDIR)

                              set dbFile “$hciRoot/sqlLiteDbs/ADT/EpicADT.db”

                              # create batch file of commands to backup sqlite db
                              set batchFileName “$hciRoot/sqlLiteDbs/ADT/EpicADTbatch.txt”
                              set batchFile [open $batchFileName w]
                              #puts $batchFile “.backup TEST.db”
                              #puts $batchFile “.help”
                              puts $batchFile “.backup TEST.db”
                              close $batchFile
                              set backupCmd [exec sqlite $dbFile < $batchFileName]

                                  Thanks Jim appreciate it!  This is one thing I’m looking  forward to trying out again, though we are now looking at possibly upgrading to CIS 22 or rather when Infor drops the first patch.
