Problem

JOB parameters are losing their value at master reconfig. For example, JOB Parameters like OBJ_CLASS, SENDER, SIZE might be missing after master reconfig. This problem affects only the jobs that are active during reconfig.

Versions impacted: TSIM 3.9.1 SP15 and TSIM 3.9.1 SP16

The issue was fixed (via Incident TSIM-3660) and the fix was delivered in TSIM 3.9.1 SP16 P4 and TSIM 3.9.1 SP 17.

The purpose of this article is to explain how to avoid this issue if using TSIM 3.9.1 SP 15:

Axway provided a hotfix (attached) that can be applied. This hotfix includes all fixes from SP15-P06, along with the following fixes:

TSIM-3660 : JOB parameters are losing their value at master reconfig

TSIM-2956 : Master reconfig blocked, waiting for timer thread termination

TSIM-3777 : Added a new parameter (accounting_in_file) in ediboss.par, which enables/disables accounting in file.

Below is the procedure on how to apply the hotfix. Additional details are available in the Readme.txt from the attached archive.

Resolution

1. copy the jar file (master-3.10.0-21.jar) from the attached archive in $ACTISEDI/lib/jcontroller/

2. edit the file $ACTISEDI/lib/jcontroller/config/jcontroller.classpath and replace the line:
master-3.10.0-xx.jar (for example master-3.10.0-18.jar)
with
master-3.10.0-21.jar

3. Execute:

master stop

4. Set the value of accounting_in_file parameter in ediboss.par, to the desired value.
The default value of the parameter is "n" , so the write of accounting information in a file on disk will be disabled, if no value is set in ediboss.par

5. Execute:

master start
