Closed as program error.
Error description
If PE is down, the FSM monitors that call vwtool eventually timeout. This is expected. However, the cleanup and detection of this problem is not appropriate. The cepest command is killed, but the sh, cmd, and java command are not cleaned up. On the next run of the monitor, it does not know that this happened, and the monitor is executed again. If PE is still down, the issue happens again. Now, there are two sets of orphaned processes. This will continue to happen as long as PE is down. Furthermore, those orphaned processes need manual intervention to be terminated.
Local fix
When PE (or any P8 product is shutdown), stop Cala client. If it was not stopped, stop Cala, check for orphaned sh, cmd, and java processes, and terminate those processes. Once PE is back up, start Cala client again.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * FSM 4.5 clients that use monitors involving vwtool * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply FSM 4.5 FP3 only if you never plan to go to ECM SM * * 5.1. If this is not the case, it is highly suggested to * * upgrade to 5.1 first since there are changes in FP3 that * * make it harder to upgrade to ECM SM 5.1 GA had the FP not * * been applied. The upgrade procedure from 4.5 to 5.1 GA * * takes the same amount of effort as applying this FP. If * * this route is taken, apply the latest 5.1 FP after the * * upgrade. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The problem is fixed in FSM 4.5 FP3 and ECM SM 5.1 FP1
