DNR Execution Problems

Greetings,

For some reason, the scripts being executed by our DNR deployments have stopped running.

The OD log simply says 'script executed successfully', but they are definitely not running.

Is there a process that I can check for that OD hands off execution of these scripts to?

Everything was working fine prior to Dec 30.

thx,

jt

Solaris 9
TeamSite 6.5

It's definitely some kind of handoff. I suppose I will restart OD tonight, after hours, but would love to know the culprit if anyone knows it.

I have three instances of TeamSite. The files run fine on all but one (production, of course). They have been running for months without a hitch.

Although Dec 30 seems like a significant date, it is really not date related. We had a script that was using /tmp as a temporary holding tank for some files on our Solaris box. It is part of a scheduled deployment that runs at the end of the month.

Well, when it ran on Dec 31, it filled /tmp up, which is also our swap space. So, the app shut down with no virtual memory.

We fixed that issue, but I still cannot get the DNR executables to run on this box.

I just had one of our operations folks run the ipl as root and it functioned flawlessly. OD runs it as root, but whatever process performs that activity does not appear to be up and running.

that was a joke.. its certainly not date related.. I am not very sure of this one as I have not been working on DNRs recently.. However, your issue more or less seems to be permissions related.. What user is the DNR run as? Has the permissions for the user changed since Dec 30?

user set to root in the od conf

I would check on the user on the target system that you are running the DNR on make sure that it has all the correct permissions, also check the permission of the file, maybe it has been locked down and it is not executable.

If everything is set correctly and it still fails then try to create a test script and use DNR to run it on a couple of machines including the one that has the problem. This would help you troubleshoot.

I am pretty sure that you checked that your scripts are not blank. If they are then that would explain everything.
