===========================================================================

6 Known Issues

The following known issues apply to this version of WEBES. Items that apply
to all of WEBES appear here. Issues about a specific component (SEA or
CCAT) are published as part of that component documentation suite.

6.1 General Known Issues

These issues apply to WEBES on all operating systems:

     6.1.1 Backward Compatibility

Connections between systems that are running different versions of WEBES
(including different dot releases or Service Paks) may produce
unpredictable results. This can happen if, for example, you are running
your locally installed SEA, and then use it to add and analyze a remote
node that has another version installed.

Running a local copy of WEBES for analysis only on that local system does
not present a problem. Likewise, connecting directly to a remote system via
the CLI or web URL (for example, without having WEBES installed on your
local system) is okay.

To avoid a compatibility issue, make sure that the exact same version of
WEBES is installed on all systems that will connect to one another, as
within a given site or enterprise. In any clustered environment, it is
especially important to have the same version (including dot release or
Service Pak) installed on every node. Backward compatibilty will be
introduced in a future WEBES release.

     6.1.2 Director Process Not Responding

                                  *** Note ***

     For additional information on processes, see the SEA User Guide.

If one of the WEBES components is not responding or giving an error, it may
be that the Director process is not responding. To correct this problem,
use one of the following procedures:

Windows

Stop the Director either from the Start | Programs menu, or by issuing the
command: net stop desta_service. Check the Windows Task Manager for the
following WEBES processes:

   * CAAgents.exe (may be more than one of these, but they are all part of
     WEBES)

   * WCCAgents.exe (may be more than one of these, but they are all part of
     WEBES)

   * DESTAService.ex or DESTAService.exe

   * java.exe (there may be other Java(TM) processes on the systems, see
     below)

   * WCCProxy.exe

If they end within 2 minutes, the Director can be restarted either from the
Start | Programs menu, or by issuing the command: net start desta_service
and then waiting approximately one minute for WEBES to set up its processes
before running a WEBES tool.

If the Director does not stop in approximately two minutes the processes
may be hung. Select any suspect WEBES process from the list above and press
the End Process button, which should remove the entry. Do not end java.exe
processes that are not associated with the WEBES Director. To identify
likely WEBES java.exe processes, look for a "Low" base priority in the Task
Manager's Process list. If you do not see the Base Priority column, choose
View | Select Columns from the Task Manager pulldown menu and check the box
for Base Priority.

If you are presented with an error message that you do not have privileges
to end a process, you must restart the Windows system. Before restarting,
follow the post-installation steps in the WEBES Installation Guide to
assign yourself the privileges necessary to kill WEBES processes in the
future. The Director will be restarted automatically during the restart
phase.

Tru64 UNIX

Issue the command: desta stop. If the Director does not stop in
approximately two minutes the process may be hung. Look for the WEBES java
processes in the ps list:

# ps ugxww | grep /usr/opt/hp/svctools | grep -v grep

Processes containing any of the following strings may appear, all of which
are WEBES processes:

   * CAAgents (may be more than one)

   * WCCAgents (may be more than one)

   * DESTAController

   * DESTAProcessWrapper

   * WCCProxy

Then, issue kill commands to stop them. Finally, as the root user, issue
the command: desta start and wait approximately one minute for WEBES to set
up its processes before running a WEBES component.

HP-UX

Issue the command: desta stop. If the Director does not stop in
approximately two minutes the process may be hung. Look for the WEBES java
processes in the ps list:

# ps ugxww | grep /opt/hp/svctools | grep -v grep

Processes containing any of the following strings may appear, all of which
are WEBES processes:

   * CAAgents (may be more than one)

   * WCCAgents (may be more than one)

   * DESTAController

   * DESTAProcessWrapper

   * WCCProxy

Then, issue kill commands to stop them. Finally, as the root user, issue
the command: desta start and wait approximately one minute for WEBES to set
up its processes before running a WEBES component.

Linux

Issue the command: desta stop. If the Director does not stop in
approximately two minutes the process may be hung. Look for the WEBES java
processes in the ps list:

# ps ugxww | grep /usr/opt/hp/svctools | grep -v grep

Processes containing any of the following strings may appear, all of which
are WEBES processes:

   * CAAgents (may be more than one)

   * WCCAgents (may be more than one)

   * DESTAController

   * DESTAProcessWrapper

   * WCCProxy

Then, issue kill commands to stop them. Finally, as the root user, issue
the command: desta start and wait approximately one minute for WEBES to set
up its processes before running a WEBES component.

OpenVMS

Issue the command: desta stop. If the Director does not stop in
approximately two minutes the process may be hung. Look in the SHOW SYSTEM
output for any of the following WEBES processes:

   * CA.N.nn.nnnn (the n values will vary)

   * DESTA Director

   * WCCProxy

Issue the STOP PROC /ID= command to kill the process ID associated with
those processes. Then issue the command: desta start and wait approximately
one minute for WEBES to set up its processes before running a WEBES
component.

     6.1.3 Director Process Stopping When Out of Memory

If the Director hangs or terminates unexpectedly, check the Director log
files (see the SEA User Guide for more information on log files). If the
log files contain errors mentioning "out of memory" conditions, one of the
following conditions may apply:

   * Your system has run out of memory or paging space.

   * The Director process has reached its Java memory limits. These limits
     are set during WEBES installation, but may be overridden by a user.

If the Java memory limits are responsible for the problem, you can raise
the memory limits applied to the Director process and its subprocesses.
After the limits have been increased, you can restart the Director and
perform the actions that caused the out of memory error. The limits can be
set as high as necessary, and are only constrained by the memory and paging
space available on the system. Refer to the SEA User Guide for details on
adjusting the memory limits.

     6.1.4 Upgrade Requires Reinitialized Log

If you are running SEA (formerly Compaq Analyze), reinitialize the system
error log as described in the platform-specific sections of the WEBES
Installation Guide before performing a WEBES upgrade.

Otherwise, up to seven days of repeat (previously seen) problem reports may
appear. This behavior occurs because of an issue where SEA re-scans the
entire log after the upgrade.

Normally, SEA scans the entire log only after a fresh installation.

     6.1.5 Errors When the Director is Restarted Too Soon

After a "desta stop" or "net stop desta_service" command completes, the
operating system sometimes requires a few more seconds to stop all
WEBES-related processes and release their resources (such as sockets). On
rare occasions, restarting the Director too soon after stopping it can can
result in errors in the Director log file, and the Director also may fail
to restart.

To avoid this issue, wait 10 more seconds before restarting the Director,
once the "desta stop" or "net stop desta_service" command completes.

6.2 Windows Known Issues

These issues apply to WEBES on Windows:

     6.2.1 Local Kit Copy Needed For Terminal Server Installations

When installing WEBES on a Terminal Server system, first copy the WEBES kit
to a local drive on that system. The installation results in an error when
mapping a drive letter to another system where the kit resides, for
example:

Internal Error 2755. 3,
F:\path to\WEBESV420BL10_May-22-2003_Windows.MSI

See the WEBES Installation Guide for details.

     6.2.2 Uninstall of Previous WEBES May Hang

While uninstalling the previous version of WEBES, the uninstall process may
hang, or stop processing without using any CPU time. If the Task Manager
shows a java.exe process running, and no other Java-based applications are
running on your system, and nothing else is using CPU time, click on the
java.exe process and then click End Process. Killing this process may
enable the rest of the uninstallation to continue.

     6.2.3 desta msg -chgport Command

The CLI command desta msg -chgport hangs the Director process.

Workaround

Enter Ctrl-C to restore the command prompt, then enter net stop
desta_service to kill the Director process. Enter net start desta_service
to restart the Director.

     6.2.4 Upgrade Retains Compaq Directory Structure

If you perform an upgrade from WEBES 4.1 or 4.1.1 to version 4.2 or later,
your upgraded copy of WEBES will remain under the old "compaq" directory
path that was used in the earlier version.

A fresh version 4.2 or later installation places WEBES under the "hp"
directory path as described throughout the WEBES 4.2 or later
documentation.

     6.2.5 Fresh Install Required

Do not upgrade an installed WEBES version to WEBES 4.3. Instead, uninstall
the existing version of WEBES, and then install WEBES 4.3.

There are known problems with migrating previous data when upgrading, which
may result in undesired changes in notification preferences, as well as
other issues. Engineering expects to correct these problems in the next
release of WEBES.

6.3 Tru64 UNIX Known Issues

These issues apply to WEBES on Tru64 UNIX:

     6.3.1 Limit Error Message

When the desta start command is run, you may see the following message:

ulimit: exceeds allowable limit

This message gets generated in error and can be safely ignored. It does not
affect the operation of the desta Director process and no limits have been
truly exceeded.

     6.3.2 Repeated Prompts After DSNLink Installation

After installing DSNLink V3.0 and rebooting (even if the reboot occurs days
later), the system repeats all of the DSNLink install questions during the
boot phase on each cluster node, including the node from which DSNLink was
installed. Subsequent reboots do not repeat the questions.

This is a DSNLink issue and is reported here for the convenience of WEBES
users who are running DSNLink for SICL reporting.

     6.3.3 Director May Interfere with Patch Installation

Installing Tru64 UNIX patches in multi-user mode, with the WEBES director
running, may produce errors similar to the following:

*** You have selected 1 patches ***

alpha/native_threads/java is
/usr/opt/compaq/svctools/common/jre/bin/../bin/
alpha/native_threads//usr/opt/compaq/svctools/common/jre/bin/../bin/alpha/
native_threads/java is
/usr/opt/compaq/svctools/common/jre/bin/../bin/alpha/
native_threads//usr/opt/compaq: no space

At this point, patch installation may hang. Otherwise, installation may
continue, but the patch may not be reliably installed.

Workaround

Follow these steps if you have already started a patch installation:

  1. Kill all dupatch processes if they are hung.

  2. Enter the desta stop command.

  3. Install the patches normally.

  4. Reboot the machine if the patch requires a reboot, or enter the desta
     start command.

     If you have not started a patch installation, enter the desta stop
     command before starting the patch process.

Engineering recommends installing Tru64 UNIX patches in single-user mode.
In single-user mode, the WEBES director would not be running.

Tru64 UNIX engineering expects to resolve this issue in a future Tru64
patch kit.

6.4 HP-UX Known Issues

There are no known HP-UX WEBES issues at the time of this writing.

6.5 Linux Known Issues

These issues apply to WEBES on Red Hat Linux:

     6.5.1 ps Command Output

On Red Hat Linux 7.3, the ps command lists threads of a process so that,
after starting desta, ps ouput looks similar to the following:

# ps
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
31526 pts/4    00:00:00 su
31550 pts/4    00:00:00 bash

25922 pts/4    00:00:00 CAAgents
27845 pts/4    00:00:00 ps

In spite of the number of entries for all the threads, the previous output
only represents one java process, one WCCProxy process, and two CAAgent
processes.

In version 8.0, the ps output only shows processes and not threads, so a
similar command would only produce the following on Red Hat Linux 8.0:

25922 pts/4    00:00:00 CAAgents
19223 pts/4    00:00:00 CAAgents
19087 pts/4    00:00:01 java
12970 pts/4    00:00:00 WCCProxy

6.6 OpenVMS Known Issues

These issues apply to WEBES on OpenVMS:

     6.6.1 JFEX Errors

The following JFEX errors occur when the correct quota minimums are not
set. On a cluster, the correct minimums must be set for all nodes in the
cluster. Be sure to apply prerequisite minimums to all applicable nodes
when installing WEBES. See the WEBES Installation Guide for details.

Example errors:

$ desta status
The Director is running

$ wsea tra
md_gc_init: could not allocate heap of size, file
USER2$:[JFEX.JFEX_VM.SRC.SYS.ALPHA]GCINIT.C;1, line 130

$ wsea ana
md_gc_init: could not allocate heap of size, file
USER2$:[JFEX.JFEX_VM.SRC.SYS.ALPHA]GCINIT.C;1, line 130

$ wsea
md_gc_init: could not allocate heap of size, file
USER2$:[JFEX.JFEX_VM.SRC.SYS.ALPHA]GCINIT.C;1, line 130

$ desta stop
Stopping DESTA system on this machine...
md_gc_init: could not allocate heap of size, file
USER2$:[JFEX.JFEX_VM.SRC.SYS.ALPHA]GCINIT.C;1, line 130
Director still running, waiting 30 seconds...
Director did not stop, process killed.

     6.6.2 Cannot Get Local Host Name

If you are using the MultiNet TCP/IP product from Process Software, and the
Director does not start, check the Director log file
(SVCTOOLS_HOME:[COMMON.WEBES.LOGS]DESTA_DIR.LOG) for errors similar to the
following:

___.
WARNING on October 4, 2002 10:42:27 AM EDT (0.726 sec elapsed)
        Can't get the Local host name...
    Current Thread[Thread-2: com.hp.svctools.desta.core.CommonDirector
,5,ma
    EXCEPTION java.net.UnknownHostException: myhost.mycorp.com
        at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName0(java.lang.String,boolean)
(InetAddress.java:571) (pc 51)

These errors can appear when the MultiNet UCX driver has been disabled.
Although the driver is enabled by default, it can be disabled using
configuration options. Verify that the UCX driver has not been disabled,
since it must be enabled in order to run WEBES.

If the driver has been disabled, you can re-enable it using the following
steps:

                                *** Note ***

     This information also appears in the MultiNet v4.4 Installation
     and Administrator Guide. For more details on configuring
     MultiNet, see the MultiNet documentation.

  1. Start the configuration program with the following command:
     $ MULTINET CONFIGURE /INTERFACE NET-CONFIG>

  2. Enable the MultiNet UCX driver interface with the following command:
     NET-CONFIG> SET LOAD-UCX-DRIVER TRUE

  3. Exit the configuration program with the following command:
     NET-CONFIG> EXIT

  4. Edit your system startup command procedure to invoke MultiNet before
     starting DECwindows.

  5. Reboot the system to start MultiNet with the UCX $QIO driver loaded.

     6.6.3 Extra Directories Prevent WEBES Reinstallation

In some circumstances, removing versions of WEBES older than 4.2 can leave
multiple versions of directories behind, as in the following example:

Directory SYS$COMMON:[COMPAQ.NODES.ANODE.SVCTOOLS.SPECIFIC]

CA.DIR;3      CA.DIR;2      DESTA.DIR;3      DESTA.DIR;2

When such directories remain on the system, you cannot reinstall WEBES.

Workaround

Enter the following commands to remove the extra directories. Repeat the
commands for each directory name that you need to remove, for example:

$ set file /nodir ca.dir;*
$ delete ca.dir;*

If the deletions fail, use the following command to repair the problem. If
WEBES was not installed to the default disk device, replace sys$sysdevice
with the disk name where WEBES was installed:

$ analyze/disk/repair sys$sysdevice:

After the previous command completes, you should be able to delete the
extra directories and their contents normally.

     6.6.4 Post-Installation Script Sequence

The scripts used when adding WEBES to a new cluster node must be run in a
specific order. First, run the following script:

$ @svctools_home:[common.bin]destacluster install <nodename>

Then, run any scripts that correspond to the desired components (in any
order).

$ @svctools_home:[common.bin]cacluster install <nodename>
$ @svctools_home:[common.bin]ccatcluster install <nodename>

WEBES engineering expects to simplify this procedure in a future release.
See the updated WEBES Installation Guide for details.

     6.6.5 Correcting Node Data in Clusters

In clusters, the install node's configuration data propagates to the other
nodes in the cluster. To correct this issue, rerun the install command on
the other nodes in the cluster:

$ @svctools_home:[common.bin]webes_install

Use the WEBES update menu to enter customized values (such as option 5.
System Information, and option 6. Service Obligation) that apply to the
given node.

WEBES engineering expects to correct this issue in a future release.

Special Case for Separate System Disks

The previous recommendation works only if you install on a cluster where
all nodes share the same system disk. If you install on a cluster-shared
disk, but each node has a separate system disk, then WEBES_INSTALL.COM
thinks WEBES is not installed and tries to start an installation. (It works
correctly on the node from which you installed WEBES, but that node already
has the desired configuration data.)

Instead of running WEBES_INSTALL on each node, the V4.2 workarounds for the
WEBES_INSTALL options are as follows:

   * Options 1-2: SEA and CCAT menus

     Run these only from the installing node. These options do not involve
     correcting node data.

   * Option 3: Start at Boot Time

     To see if WEBES processes are set to start on boot:

     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP SHOW FILE

     To turn off boot time startup, where {hostname} is the name of the
     machine:

     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP REMOVE FILE RCM$STARTUP_{hostname}.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP REMOVE FILE CCAT$STARTUP.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP REMOVE FILE/PHASE=LPMAIN DESTA$STARTUP.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP ADD FILE/PHASE=LPMAIN DESTA_LOGICALS$STARTUP.COM

     To turn on boot time startup, where {hostname} is the name of the
     machine:

     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP ADD FILE RCM$STARTUP_{hostname}.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP ADD FILE CCAT$STARTUP.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP ADD FILE/PHASE=LPMAIN DESTA$STARTUP.COM
     $ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP REMOVE FILE/PHASE=LPMAIN
     DESTA_LOGICALS$STARTUP.COM

   * Option 4: Customer Information (This probably does not change per
     node.)

     In the following file, manually edit the fields that do not start with
     "System ___" :
     SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.DESTA.CONFIG]PROFILE.TXT

     In the following file, manually edit customer information as needed:
     SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.DESTA.CONFIG]DESTA.REG

   * Option 5: System Information

     In the following file, manually edit the "System ___" fields:
     SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.DESTA.CONFIG]PROFILE.TXT

     In the following file, manually edit the "common.SystemSerialNumber="
     field:
     SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.DESTA.CONFIG]DESTA.REG

   * Option 6: Service Obligation

     Instead, run the following command and enter new values.

     $ desta servob install

   * Options 7-8: Start/Stop Director

     Instead, run the commands:

     $ desta start
     $ desta stop

   * Option 9: Uninstall

     Run this option only from the installing node. This option does not
     involve correcting node data.

     6.6.6 Continuous CPU Usage After Daylight Savings Time Change

On OpenVMS 7.3 and higher, when the time is moved forward or back for the
Daylight Savings Time adjustment, multithreaded processes can go into a
tight CPU loop. Applications subject to this behavior include DCPS
symbiont, DECevent, and anything using the Java runtime such as the DESTA
director. Stopping and restarting the processes ("desta stop" followed by
"desta start") corrects the problem.

To resolve this issue, install the patch VMS73_TDF-V0100 or
VMS731_TDF-V0100. Otherwise, the behavior will happen again at each
Daylight Savings Time adjustment.

     6.6.7 RCM Messages During WEBES Upgrade

During a WEBES upgrade, you can safely ignore any error messages about RCM
directories. Note that a standalone version of RCM still can be installed
separately if desired.

     6.6.8 New OpenVMS Patch Removal Feature

During WEBES installation, you may see messages similar to the following:

The following product has been selected:
    DEC AXPVMS WEBES V4.2-0                Platform (product suite)

Information has been saved to allow you to uninstall the following patches:

RECOVERY DATA SET 001 created 25-JUL-2003 00:06:16.52
   -------------------------------------- --------------------------
   PATCH                                  APPLIED TO
   -------------------------------------- --------------------------
   DEC AXPVMS VMS731_LAN V6.0             DEC AXPVMS VMS V7.3-1
   -------------------------------------- --------------------------

* If you continue, recovery data for the patches listed above will be
deleted.
* The deletion of recovery data does not affect the installation status of
* patches applied to products that are not participating in this operation.

* However, continuing with this operation prevents you from uninstalling
* these patches at a future time by use of the PRODUCT UNDO PATCH command.

Do you want to continue? [NO] YES

The messages appear because of a new feature that allows OpenVMS patches to
be removed. You only see these messages if you have installed the new
OpenVMS PCSI patch that adds the feature (or you are running a newer
version of OpenVMS that includes the feature), and you have installed
OpenVMS patches that use the feature.

The new feature has a limitation making it impossible to preserve patch
recovery data when a product such as WEBES is installed or uninstalled,
because installing or uninstalling WEBES in an operation not involving
patches that alters the product database.

Prior to the addition of the feature, OpenVMS patches could not be removed.
Nevertheless, note that installing WEBES will prevent you from using the
new feature to remove any OpenVMS patches listed. Otherwise, you can safely
ignore the messages and continue with WEBES installation.
