Sonya Williams-Harris : Hello everyone!!!!!
Segun (CA) : @Sonya: Hi Sonya
Sonya Williams-Harris : Is the upgrde from R12 to R12 SP1 quick and easy
Nitin Pande (CA) : @Sonya, we have in place upgrade and you will find it very easy to complete the process
Sonya Williams-Harris : Is an outage needed to upgrade?
Lenn Thompson (CA) : Just a reminder that this session is focused on dSeries Edition (DE). If you have questions about other WLA products, please feel free to ask them in the community.
Srinivas (CA): @Scott thank you for joining. Please do let us know if you have any questions
Sucheta : I have question about the "Applications Update" feature. This is a very useful feature when it comes to bulk update. Will the older version be archived when we make changes application(s) using Applications update?
Nitin Pande (CA) : @Sonya: Here is a link to the DE upgrade documentation.
Nitin Pande (CA) : https://docops.ca.com/ca-workload-automation-de/12-0/en/installing/upgrading-the-ca-workload-automation-de-server-from-previous-versions/upgrading-the-server-using-migration-method
Sonya Williams-Harris : Thanks Nitin
Srinivas (CA): Hello Everyone, we have sent sprint review demonstration on next Monday, 27th February @ 9 AM EST. Please do plan to attend the session so that you will get to know on what is coming in 12.0.02 (R12 SPS2) release.
Nitin Pande (CA) : @Sonya: Yes, it is highly recommended to back up the DB and DE folder. Also, when upgrading the DE server, you will need to shut it down.
Scott : We have an event scheduled to run every 15 minutes, is there a way to use a Do Not Schedule parameter with this? Like a specific day or date.
Nitin Pande (CA) : @Sucheta: Only the current version is updated. So when you update an application, DE will archive the non-updated copy and then update the application.
Chinni Krishna (CA) : @Sucheta Yes. When the Application Update is run then the old version is archived and you can get your older versions of the applications as well
Sucheta : @Nitin, @Chinni Krishna : Thank you
Sucheta : Is there way to limit Custom views to a specific environment?
Segun (CA) : @Scott: Yes, we can use the 'Do not schedule' parameter and specify the day/date.
Scott : @Segun: does that work in Simulation or just when it actually runs?
Chinni Krishna (CA) : @Sucheta When we say specific environment, do we mean for a specific instance of desktop client or on a specific server ?
Segun (CA) : @Scott: Ye, it does.
Sucheta : @Chinni Krishna :on a specific server connection. Like I am connected to PROD as well as non prod server through desktop client and subscribed Active generations, but in a custom views, I want to limit Failed jobs only for PROD server
Chinni Krishna (CA) : @Sucheta In custom views we have a filter where we can specify the desktop client connection name to filter
Sucheta : @Thank you John, sure, that's a good idea.
Sucheta : @Chinni Krishna: Thank you, I tried it before, let me check one more time.
Chinni Krishna (CA) : @Sucheta You specify the filter by editing the view and changing it in view configuration
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta adding to that the Custom View configuration field is SERVER NAME
Chinni Krishna (CA) : @Sucheta The server name here is the desktop client alias for the connection and not the actual server name
Sucheta : @All : Is there any downside of running scheduleallevents CLI command any time? We usually run it after we have issue in the environment/we restart the server etc
Sucheta : But recently we have seen some issues with Next schedule time not getting populated for a new event which runs on fiscal calendar every quarter.
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta We advise Customers to run scheduleallevents when Calendar updated. If there are no changes in even definitions/schedules then no need to issue this command. Becuase it creates a overhead on DE to recalculate schedules...
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta in case if you know any specific event schedules updated then you can mention those events as input too to the Scheduleallevents command
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta if you see for any event, NEXT SCHEDULED TIME is not calculated then those Events are good candidates to mention
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta in what DE release you are in production?
Sucheta : Will running scheduleallevents for all events affect existing event's Next scheduled time?
Sucheta : @Srinivas : We are DE 11.3 SP3 server
Sucheta : build_1406
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta why asked this question is that we have introduced a new attribute 'reevaluateschedules' to scheduleallevevnts command in latest R11.3 Sp3 patch and 12.0.01 patch published
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta Any Calendar definition updated event, needs the attribute 'reevaluateschedules' to consiuder updated special days to be reflected. More details are at https://docops.ca.com/ca-workload-automation-de/11-3-3/en/reference/command-line-interface-cli/events-cli-commands/scheduleallevents-commandreschedule-events
Lenn Thompson (CA) : @Everyone We have just a few minutes left in today's session. Are there any last-minute questions?
Sucheta : @Srinivas : Thank you , will check the details at link shared
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta we have problem record 250 & 251. the patch 1414 build R11.3 Sp3 contains 'reevaluateschedules' attribute supported.
Sucheta : Is there any way to pull Next scheduled time values for scheduled events?
Sucheta : @Srinivas : Thank you, will check about it and plan for upgrade to next server build/version
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta It is only from Desktop Client Services --> Events view UI
Sucheta : ok, Thank you Srinivas
Sucheta : Thank you everyone
Segun (CA) : @Sucheta: The latest DE 11.3 SP3 Build 1432 https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/solncdndtls?aparNo=RO93892&os=ANY&fc=4&actionID=3
Srinivas (CA): @Sucheta we recommend you to update the latest patch 1432 R11.3 Sp3
