      We had tried this code with a recommendation from IBM, with no success, until we applied the latest software updates to 6.1 AIX.  We are still in POC stage but it appears this is the answer.  We are able to alloc up to a gig to a particular process.  You have to use a switch to designate shared memory, but this is great stuff.. Thanks Russ for the post.

        We currently have 5.8.5 on a test server only, but I’m throwing my 2 cents in on this.  We have some sites with 80 to 90 interfaces, and it’s impossible read the names.

          Technical Support says I have to live with the errors, becacuse PING is not configured to return the IP address without the -s switch in our environment.  It seems to me that would hold true in most UNIX environments.  We need to be able to adjust Cloverleaf rather than reconfigure our network.

            The errors did not appear prior to 5.7. I collected the server names and IP’s and will add to the etc/hosts file on Monday.  Thanks for the quick response.

              We are using a UNIX environment, and in the error log of every process are these errors.

              The threads all connect to these servers, yet the errors remain in the log.

              This particualr site has 55 interfaces yet anly these few report a connection error

                Question

                There’s a fairly common customization to the series discharge/re-reg

                process you can request that pauses the process every so often for a few

                seconds to let other transactions (such as orders and new registrations)

                go through.  We have it here.

                I don’t remember the specifics (how often the process pauses or how long

                it waits) but its impact on the issue you describe was significant.  It

                will cost you – at least it cost us when we requested it in 2005 – but

                it’s worth it.

                  Cloverleaf 5.5 and below.  When setting up variants, there is a 100K limit on the size of a field, this was causing our ENCODED documents in the OBX segment to be chopped causing decoding issues.  You cannot increase the size through the GUI, but if you edit the “fields” file in the variant directory, you can increase this size with SUCCESS.

                  *** Important to note though, if you edit the variant again in the GUI, even if you do not touch that field, it will revert back to an eratic size.

                    We’ve done minimal testing with 5.6 because of other priorities.  

                    Created sites, threads, passed untranslated messages.

                    So far no anomalies, but we’re proceeding with caution.

                      The problem stemmed from using ZFS file system on SUN.  There is a setting in /hcisite/ecec/database/rdm.ini “truename=0”

                      From HV R&D:

                      Looking at the mnttab files confirmed that the problem is that the

                      Raima database’s truename functionality does not handle ZFS

                      configuration for the Cloverleaf directories well.  Like the case

                      reproduced in our lab, the fsname does not match the profiles expected

                      by Raima’s truename code.

                         zp1/quovadx /opt/hci/quovadx zfs

                      We will follow up on this issue with Birdstep and hopefully they will

                      address it in a future release.  

                      Until then, we now know that with certain file systems and

                      configurations the truename flag needs to be turned off in rdm.ini.

                            Unix Sun server with v10 Solaris, and v 5.5 Clovleaf.  Does anyone know the correct settings for Solaris 10?  These are the default settings, but do not work with Cloverleaf.

                              No.  I know the Cloverleaf thread was not dropping, and couldn’t prove that the STAR interface was not.  We use a series of monitoring scripts, so I added one to bounce the process every 3 hours from 8:00 PM until 8:00 AM.  Since it was a scheduling interface, it was idle after hours. Problem has not returned.
