4034.0. "Exporter problems - NML run amuck" by MEOC02::FINCH () Wed Nov 04 1992 19:46

    Hi,
    I am having problems with exporting.
    
    I started exporting some data on one of my node4s. I exported the
    following:
    
    Node4 FRED export period 12:00:00.00            (12 hrs)
    Node4 FRED Line bna-0 export period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    Node4 FRED line ci-0 export  period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    Node4 FRED line DMB-0 export period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    Node4 FRED circuit bna-0 export period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    Node4 FRED circui ci-0 export  period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    Node4 FRED line DMB-0 export period 00:05:00.00 (5 mins)
    
    After running this for a few days I found that there were
    netserver.logs on FRED that totaled about 20,000 blocks. 
    The logs were being held open by nml server processes and in them 
    it had connect requests as often as every 5 secs -
    
    Example: (PLKMCC is the MCC station)
    
        --------------------------------------------------------
    
            Connect request received at  4-NOV-1992 00:06:49.99
                from remote process PLKMCC::"0=NETMGR"
                for object "SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]NML.EXE"
    
            --------------------------------------------------------
    
            Connect request received at  4-NOV-1992 00:06:54.99
                from remote process PLKMCC::"0=NETMGR"
                for object "SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]NML.EXE"
    
            --------------------------------------------------------
    
    and on and on it went.
    
    I have 2 questions :
    
    1. Why is it connecting every 5 secs ??
    2. Why are the nml server process holding the files open and also
    creating new process and new files ??
    
    I have had to stop exporting until I can solve this as among other
    things the overhead it was creating on FRED was unacceptable.
    
    Any help appreciated.

>    1. Why is it connecting every 5 secs ??

	You have 6 exporting requests with 5 min period (I do not count
    the first exporting requests with 12 hours period).
	In order to get attribute data each exporting request makes
    as many  calls to the target entity as a number of partitions defined
    for the target entity class. For Node4 Line and Node4 Circuit this 
    number is 7. Taking in consideration that each request for 
    Statistics attributes required another 4 calls we have the total
    number of calls 10 (7 - 1 + 4). So one export operation requires 10
    calls to the target entity. All 6 exporting requests make 60 calls
    each 5 min or 1 call per 5 seconds.

	Do you really need 5 min exporting period?


    Sorry, I do not know the answer on your second question.

4034.2Exporting... MAX LINKS exceeded... Links don't go awayKAOFS::BOIVINMoi, j'viens du nord!Mon Nov 23 1992 14:0749
Good day,

I have one export command that is consuming all available links on my MCC station.
Even when the exporting is completed, the links stick around until I kill the
MCC process that did the historical exporting...

Any ideas or is this QAR time?

Thanks,

Ed


I had previously recorded all partitions for Node4 KAOR04 Line SYN-0. I now
want to export:

$ detmcc
