Issue/Introduction

For DevTest 10.8.0 and later on Linux, it is no longer possible to run multiple VSE services by starting multiple VirtualServiceEnvironmentService commands.

Is there a way to start multiple VSEs with a shell script?

Environment

Release : 10.8.0 and later

Component : DevTest Virtual Service Environment

Resolution

Steps:

In DEVTEST_HOME/bin/additional_launchers copy

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService1 to DEVTEST_HOME/bin

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService2 to DEVTEST_HOME/bin

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService1.vmoptions to DEVTEST_HOME/bin

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService2.vmoptions to DEVTEST_HOME/bin

Update the following properties in the vmoptions file, this example is for starting two additional VSEs on the same machine:

-Dlisa.vseName=VSE1
-Dlisa.net.8.port=20131
-DLISA_LOG=vse2.log

-Dlisa.vseName=VSE2
-Dlisa.net.8.port=20132
-DLISA_LOG=vse3.log

Repeat for each additional VSE, each with their own command, vmoptions and name.

The following sample example script starts 2 VSEs:

#!/usr/bin/bash

nohup /home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/bin/VirtualServiceEnvironmentService1 2>&1 &
nohup /home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/bin/VirtualServiceEnvironmentService2 2>&1 &

You will need to change /home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/ to where your DevTest is installed.

NOTE: When you run a nohup command the PID will display on the next line of the command line. 

Example:

[userid]@[userid]-centos08-sv :/home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/bin# nohup ./VirtualServiceEnvironmentService1 2>&1 &
[1] 1055
[userid]@[userid]-centos08-sv :/home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/bin# nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout

My process ID is 1055.

This is how to find the the process ID later:

ps -ef

Look for a line that has -server in it:

root     1055  788  6 20:22 pts/0    00:00:20 /home/[userid]/CA/DevTest10.8.0/jre/bin/java -server -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/opt/CA/DevTest1

 

Verify the additional VSEs can be seen in Server Health on the Portal as well as from Workstation.
