Jim, All that script does is read messages out of smat and then creates a new file. I need to modify the smatdb file. I opened a ticket with Infor, hopefully I’ll get some useage info for smatdbdelete.

[Tim Jipson]

Thanks Jim, I’ll check that out

[Tim Jipson]

I actually just found “smatdbdelete”, I think this is what I need. Would anyone have the proper syntax for this command?

 

[Tim Jipson]

I’m doing something similar using a couple global variables in an xLate. If the new message matches the old GVs then the message is supressed. If the new message does not match the old GVs then the GVs are updated and the message is sent.

Hi Jason,

That makes a lot of sense, we do run a lot of script based alerts. I have spot checked the pid files but I haven’t done a full audit while the issue was occurring. That will be my next step, Thank you!

Hi Vince,

Sometimes that has helped. Sometimes I did a whole site db rebuild and there was no change. Sometimes I’d restart everything and have no immediate change but after 5min the gui starts responding correctly. The randomness of the issue has made troubleshooting almost impossible.

Have you tried manually editing the netconfig file for the site that the thread is on?

[Tim Jipson]

In short, it would be nice to have a place in the thread properties to add the interface owners email address and possibly the vendor contact. It would be great to assign these fields a variable in the alert config.

I’ve also got an alert script that I use for several alerts. The script fixes most issues by restarting the interface but if the issue isn’t resolved then an email is sent to the interface team and we need to figure out which analyst needs to be notified.

I just started using the Groups field in Thread properties to track interface ownership. Now the script also parses the netconfig file to get the interface owners email address and the owner is emailed directly saving a lot of time.

Yes, I could create an alert for each interface but that’s too much maintenance. The script allows me to have one alert for all OB threads and another for all IB threads and that covers 98% of our alerts.

I was missing the gvsave, I did not know that was needed after a gvsetvar. Thank you!

Three minutes after posting this I found the answer under client preferences.

Thanks Rob!

From what I’ve seen in the past, you only need a new license file if the server MAC address is changing.

So for the record I just figured this out.

The Massachusetts CDC department kept saying use the wsdl, but it doesn’t work right with the java/ws-client. Lots of time wasted here.

Minutes after switching to java/ws-rawclient and only adding the end point address I was sending and receiving.

This is the sample message that I’m working with and I have gotten this to work in the SOAP UI utility.

Code:

That only works if a message has been received prior to 30 minuntes. If that thread is restarted and a message is never received then lastr will not trigger.

I had to use cron to schedule a script that parses hcimsiutil data to alert properly. In most cases I wouldn’t care if the “Last Rd” and “Last Wt” values were Never but this is a special case.
