Instability and universe.log filled with GAGESHIS errors due to abnormal u_fmsp60.dta growth

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

A Dollar Universe node experience severe performance degradation, instability, or unexpected crashes. This behavior occurs on critical nodes handling a high volume of daily jobs and manifests through the following symptoms:

• Massive Log Expansion: The universe.log files expand rapidly, sometimes logging over 240,000 lines within a 24-hour window.

• Disk Space Exhaustion: Excessive log generation leads to FATAL "Available space on LOG file system too low" messages, forcing node shutdowns.

• Specific Error Patterns in universe.log:

  • GAGESHIS | L'execution [ID] est inconnue dans l'historique (Execution ID is unknown in history).

  • Error connecting to target 10 server: u_io_callsrv_connect_r Errno syserror 111: Connection refused.

  • k_connect_auth_timeout returns error [200] / o_connect_auth in error [-1].

• Job Launch Failures: Jobs triggered via the uxordre command occasionally fail with the message Probleme d'ecriture parm No 001 (Problem writing param No 001).

• Uncontrolled Data File Growth: The u_fmsp60.dta file grows indefinitely without being correctly compressed or trimmed by standard purging routines.
