2839.0. "IVP failing on DMQ HP Install" by IRNBRU::MACKENZIE () Mon Apr 07 1997 08:39

Hi,

My customer is installing DMQ v3.2 on HP-UX and is seeing the dmqivp fail.
The output is as follows:

************ dmqbcp (28299) 02-APR-1997 08:21:25 ************
bcp, bus control process for bus 1 is running

************ dmqbcp (28299) 02-APR-1997 08:21:25 ************

************ dmqbcp (28299) 02-APR-1997 08:21:35 ************
bcp, bus control process for bus 1 is exiting

I have asked him to check his /var/tmp/dmq directory and to do an
ipcs -a. The /var/tmp/dmq directory was empty and the ipcs -a returned
no entries owned by the dmq account. He has tried rebooting his machine 
but without success.

Any help welcome,

Thanks in advance,

Dave MacKenzie.

	MSGMNI is low. Most people have it set around 1000 (though 100's should be plenty). _sjz.
2839.4	Was on 3.2a	IRNBRU::MACKENZIE		`Wed Apr 09 1997 10:58`	10
	Thanks, I'll ask the customer to update the settings and reboot. He had downgraded from v3.2a to v3.2 as his applications are linked against v3.2. DMQ started ok under 3.2a but now fails.Could this downgrade cause a problem ? Dave M.
2839.5	Problem persisting -	IRNBRU::MACKENZIE		`Mon Apr 21 1997 06:00`	7
	My customer increased MSGMNI to 1000, but the problem has persisted. What else can he try ? Is there any other information I can ask him to provide ? He has tried the installation on another machine but has the same problem. Regards, Dave M.
2839.6	Problem urgent	NNTPD::"[email protected]"	Dave MacKenzie	`Sat Apr 26 1997 06:51`	8
	Is there any response to this problem ? My customer is talking about removing DMQ from their solution because of this. They are planning on going into production next month and this is stopping their testing. Regards, Dave M. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
2839.7		XHOST::SJZ	Kick Butt In Your Face Messaging !	`Sat Apr 26 1997 22:10`	6
	did you look at the IVP log ? can they start a group on this machine outside of the IVP ? are they running HP-UX V10.20 with the transition links removed ? _sjz.

	This customer is running HP-UX 9.05 They used to run DMQ 3.0A on HP-UX and this worked ok. The output from the IVP is in .0 I will inquire if they can start DMQ outside of the IVP. Jeremy.

2839.10	Cannot start outside of IVP	IRNBRU::JWESTERMAN	Jeremy Westerman, MSG+ Middleware, Ayr.	`Mon Apr 28 1997 08:58`	5
	Unfortunately it is not possible to start DMQ outside IVP. It seems to be the same kind of problem. Jeremy.

	it is not clear what is going on here. try this. # setenv DMQIPI_TRACE 1 # dmqgcp -b 1 -g 1 -f /dev/null -n TEST does the group come up ? if so try attaching a temporary queue using the dmqtestc program. _sjz.

	also, please do an ipcs -a, and see if you have any old resources out there that might be interfering with the group startup. this should not be a problem but i am looking to eliminate as many possi- bilities as possible. if there are you can remove them using ipcrm, or you can reboot the machine. _sjz.

	that trace that you have included in .13 is indicative of a perfectly healthy running group. that is the gcp is conversing with the queue- ing engine at regular intervals. killing the process of course kills the group. you left out the beginning of the trace/log where the gcp says that it is running and the queueing engine says that it is running. You also did not report on your success attaching a tempor- ary queue using the tool dmqtestc. to attach a temporary queue you simply set your bus and group id to those of the group you started and then enter : 2 <return> 1 <return> _sjz.
2839.15	Trace as requested	IRNBRU::JWESTERMAN	Jeremy Westerman, MSG+ Middleware, Ayr.	`Tue Apr 29 1997 09:41`	197
	They have tried to attach a temporary queue and it seems to work fine. Below is the trace requested. The customers says that in the failed IVP test they had to kill the dmqqe process afterwards. Other dmq processes are cleaned up by the IVP-test. In the IVP test it looks like the dmqgcp process failes to initialize to the dmqqe.

	what the output shows is that a group came up just fine, and that you were able to attach a temporary queue just fine. now if you take the group initialization file generated by the IVP and use that can you start up a group and attach a temporary queue ? if not then what is it about that initialization file that is causing the IVP to fail. you can find this out by doing a binary search on the file. we now know that an empty file (/dev/null) works. if you modify the IVP init file by removing pieces and seeing where it works and fails we may be able to close in on the problem. also, do they have enough process slots on this machine ? _sjz.

	The MAXUPRC parameter is 124 at the machine. The customer tried to start the group with the IVP group initialization file and it starts the group and they can attach a temporary queue. They used the command: dmqgcp -b 1 -g 1 -f /tmp/dmq19715.group -n TEST When they tried to start DMQ with the bus initialization file it fails. They used the command: dmqbcp -b 1 -g 1 -f /tmp/dmq19715.bus -n dev -l /tmp/dmq19715.log They used the same group initialization file used in both cases. Both the bus and group init files are those specified in .9 I asked them to change the hostname (tserver3) to the fully qualified network name (tserver3.xxx.xxx....) in the bus init and try that in case it was effecting the problem. However, the machine will not recognize the fully qualified name as it use NIS name resolution. Could NIS be causing the problem? As an aside, when starting the gcp using the dmqgcp why does the gcp process stay up but not the queuing engine? Jeremy.
2839.18		XHOST::SJZ	Kick Butt In Your Face Messaging !	`Wed Apr 30 1997 12:50`	12
	i would recommend punting the dmqbcp. it is gone in the V4.0 product. it was a half formed idea that has more trouble than it has done good. as for your group starting up and the queuing engine not hang- ing around, that is a problem. but you say that if you start the group directly (using dmqgcp) that you can attach a queue. that means the queuing engine is up and running. _sjz.
