DUAS: File resources not validated after upgrade to 6.10.21 or superior if TZ not set to localtime

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

After having upgraded Dollar Universe nodes on Sun Sparc from 6.9.61 to 6.10.21 or superior the file resources are no longer being detected.

The issue only occurs in case the variable TZ of the server is set to MET.

The "Check OK" is present multiple times in the resource log, but the jobs remain in event wait.

Support Tests:
On 6.10.41 Solaris Sparc - issue reproduced when TZ is set to MET
On 6.10.41 Solaris Sparc - issue not reproduced when TZ it set to localtime
On 6.10.11 Solaris Sparc - issue not reproduced when TZ set to MET or localtime

 

Environment

Release : 6.10.21 and superior

Component : DOLLAR UNIVERSE

Cause

Yet unknown, most likely to have been introduced on Dollar Universe 6.10.21 with the multithreading of the Supervisor

Resolution

WORKAROUND (ROLLBACK to version inferior to 6.10.21):

1. Restore the backup taken while upgrading the nodes to 6.10.21 or superior via the commands:

unistop

unirestore

reply with the path where the backup was taken

2. Launch a unims -update to update the node information

unims -update -login admin -pwd adminpassword

3. Perform a reorg and start the node:

unireorg

unistart

WORKAROUND ON 6.10.21 and superior:

1. Stop the node: unistop
2. Modify the variable TZ to point to localtime

unisetvar TZ localtime

That should modify the following line in values.xml as follows:

<var id="TZ">MET</var>
by
<var id="TZ">localtime</var>

3. Start the node: unistart
