Patch level detected:Dollar Universe 6.1.00
Product Version: Dollar.Universe 6.1.0

Description :When restarting a node, the CDJ uses a lot of cpu for a long time and shows inaccurate status of job runs on univiewer console.
The file u_fmsb60 of the concerned are is quite big and there are lots of lines containing this string: "SSSSSSS99999999999999"

In order to measure the startup time of the CDJ, you can compare this two lines:

On my case, with a u_fmsb60.dta file of 100MB, it takes 6 minutes 30 seconds to sync:

Environment

OS: All

Cause

Cause type:
Defect
Root Cause: The issue was due to the fact that the SBSESS records (lines containing SSSSSSS99999999999999) on the u_fmsb60.dta file were not purged correctly in particular circumstances.

Resolution

In order to fix the issue, you first need to upgrade the impacted node to 6.7.41 and then purge manually the u_fmsb60.dta via the tool uxpursbsess.

Procedure to use it on Unix / Linux on the area EXP:

1. Stop the node: unistop
2. Backup the target u_fmsb60.dta ( cp $UNI_DIR_DATA/exp/u_fmsb60.dta $UNI_DIR_DATA/exp/u_fmsb60.bak)
3. Simulate the purge of the SBSESS orphan records to see if the issue is present on the target area:

uxpursbsess exp simulate any

4. If the issue is present ( the value of sbsess deleted is different than 0 ), then launch it without the parameter simulate so that the purge is performed:

uxpursbsess exp any

5. Launch an offline reorg so that the file size is shrunk: unireorg
6. Start again the node: unistart
7. You can check the size of the file before and after, the difference should be quite important.
