A Process Exists for Monitoring the ExternalDataManager for MSU Data Loading

Have you noticed that the ExternalDataManager for MSU stops running from time to time?

The cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM has been created to help with this problem. The following is a description of the what the RPM file does:

Changes made for Jira issue CCS-1077 / CFBUG-2448:

1. cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM created
2. The cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM installs /etc/cron.hourly/check_msu_loading.sh file
   1. The /etc/cron.hourly/check_msu_loading.sh file
      1. Determines if the MSU Data Loading instance of the ExternalDataManager is running or not
         • If MSU Data Loading instance is running
           – nothing is done
         • If MSU Data Loading instance is not running
           • The value of the msu_pnp variable is retrieved
             • If the msu_pnp variable does not exist
               – nothing is done
             • If the value of msu_pnp = FALSE
               – nothing is done
             • If the value of msu_pnp = TRUE
               – The current date is captured
               – The ExternalDataManager instance for MSU Data Loading is started with output files using the captured current date

Notes:

1. The MSU Data Loading instance of the ExternalDataManager is usually started from the go.scp file within the start_msu_loading script
2. The cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM has been included as a dependency within the cyflex-6.3-upgrade RPM
   • If the cyflex-6.3-upgrade RPM is already installed on a system, the following commands should be executed to update the RPM with the cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM
     sudo yum clean all
     sudo yum update cyflex-6.3-upgrade
   • The version of the cyflex-6.3-upgrade RPM that contains the cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM is 6.3.26 and above.
3. The msu_pnp variable is created within the logi_specs file and the default value = TRUE. If restating of the ExternalDataManager should not be monitored, it is suggested to change the value of the msu_pnp variable to OFF within the go.scp file:
   svar msu_pnp OFF

4. If running a cyflex.6.2.# version, the cyflex_check_msu_loading RPM should be installed manually from the command line.
   sudo yum install cyflex_check_msu_loading
