uxtrace uses default U_FMT_DATE instead of the correct one

Products

• Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

The uxtrace script may fail or report errors when attempting to access legacy configuration files or when the system date format does not align with the script's internal expectations. This occurs primarily on Unix/Linux environments where local date formats (e.g., French dd/mm/yyyy) are utilized.

When executing $UXEXE/uxtrace/uxtrace -s, the following errors appear in the output:

#ERROR# errno=2 for command :ls -ldai /universe/bin/DUAS/HELIOS/vhqve31/bin/lib/libuxspv*#ERROR# Command result: ls: impossible d'accéder à '/universe/bin/DUAS/HELIOS/vhqve31/bin/lib/libuxspv*': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Additionally, uxlst commands within the script may fail with:

#ERROR# Command result: Le format de date est invalide : consulter la var. d'envir. U_FMT_DATE

Environment

Dollar Universe 6.x and 7.x

Context: uxtrace on Unix / Linux

Cause

The uxtrace script attempts to access libuxspv files which were used in Dollar Universe v5 but are no longer present in v6 or v7. Furthermore, the script does not correctly inherit the U_FMT_DATE variable, leading to command failures on nodes using non-default date formats.

Resolution

This issue is addressed by a code change in the Dollar Universe Application Server to correctly handle SPV file checks and honor the U_FMT_DATE configuration.

Fix Status:

• Fixed in release: Dollar Universe 7.01.31 and higher.
• Fixed in release: Dollar Universe 7.02.01 and higher.
