CA Harvest Software Change ManagerCA Harvest Software Change Manager - OpenMake Meister
Issue/Introduction
Users can log in and see packages, but it just hangs if they try to do anything else.
Environment
Release : All Versions
Component : CA Harvest Software Change Manager
Resolution
We increased the HServer logging level to 5 and reproduced the problem. HServer log files were showing that a UDP process was crashing, most likely causing the problem. We identified which UDP process it was and further analysis revealed that a recent Microsoft patch was interfering with the UDP script. Rolling back the Microsoft patch resolved the problem.
Additional Information
HServer logging level can be increased using either of these methods:
First method
Edit the HServer.arg file on the broker machine and add the following line -logging=5
Save and close the file
Restart the SCM Broker
Second method
Use the hdbgctrl command to temporarily increase the HServer logging level without the need to restart the broker. Information on this command can be found in the SCM documentation here: hdbgctrl Command-Debug Control
