questions regarding workstation build 110

[Michael Bieganski]

Hello Forum,
Looking for some clarification on a couple of questions regarding workstation build 110
if any have begun using it yet.
Workstation build 110 is available now for downloading.
I just installed build 110 for testing, (was on 106 prior), and
noticed in the notes:
PRODUCT: CA Workload Automation Workstation EE
VERSION: 11.3 Build 110

Fixed in build 110
Date: April 2, 2019

1. Fixed the unexpected behavior when custom views
are sorted in Workload Director.

PRODUCT: CA Workload Automation Workstation EE
VERSION: 11.3 Build 109 (withdrawn)

Fixed in build 109
Date: December 10, 2018
.
.
5. Workload Director now displays ARGS and CMDNAME
in Job Details.
6. Fixed the problem with an excessive number of
predecessors in simulation.
.
.
Notice that there is just 1 fix listed under 110, while 109 has many, but is
explicitly described as 'withdrawn'
Sorry for this dumb question but does that mean, that since 109
is listed as 'withdrawn', all the fixes listed in these notes under 109 were NOT then
incorporated in the latest build 110??

For example 109, fix 5 states it now displays ARGS and CMDNAME however I
do not see any such when I look at a distributed job's details using 110.

Also, I've notice, after loading a filter, the status bar on the bottom of each custom screen
always shows nothing but "Last status update received 0 minutes ago"
though I can see jobs flowing in and out. Is that '0 minutes ago' because it is updating repeatedly in
less that 1 minute? (my users are asking if it is not updating properly)

thanks,

Hi Mike,

 

The build 110 should include all fixes that were in build 109.

 

I just tested here, it shows "Last status update received 16 minutes ago". So I tend to agree with your guess, that it shows "0 minutes ago" because there is constantly job status change loaded to the Workstation. 

 

Hope this helps,

 

Lucy

Hi Lucy,  good to know all the 109 fixes made the 110 grade.

I would expect as much;

So where then are these located?: “ Workload Director now displays ARGS and CMDNAME

                    in Job Details.”

 

For example this sun_job passes 3 args. in the job def.

Where would I find the ARGS and the CMDNAME (and scriptname hopefully?)

from Director for this job?

 

Here is all that is in Details for the job:

 

Job Name    adpgrids

Full Name   adpgrids

Job ID  1591

Job Type    SJ

Event Name  WORK.ADP_ADPGRIDS

Application Name    ADPGRIDS

User Status 216844757

Start Time  15.01.31 FRI 10 MAY 2019

End Time    15.01.55 FRI 10 MAY 2019

Hi Mike,

 

They will be at the end of the "Details" for the related job, after "Average Run Time".

 

I found that both show up for my NT_JOB, and only ARGS show up for my UNIX_JOB. So SCRIPTNAME won't show.

 

I guess you use SUN_JOB? Could you provide your job definition? 

 

Thank you,

 

Lucy

[Michael Bieganski]

I have nothing at all after Average Run Time, for either nt_job or sun_job

I checked about a dozen

 

For example, here are Details for nt_job hcmppin:

 

Job Name  hcmppin

Full Name hcmppin

Job ID    528

Job Type  NT

Event Name     WORK.HCM_HCMPPHIN

Application Name    HCMPPHIN

State     EXEC

Status    "Executing at NT_TCCAPPCCC01"

Agent Name     NT_TCCAPPCCC01

0 Predecessors None

Start Time     16.45.01 FRI 10 MAY 2019

Anticipated End Time     17.38.01 FRI 10 MAY 2019

0 Successors   None

Average Run Time    53

 

Nothing more to scroll down to after Average Run Time.

 

Is there a particular ptf(s) that needs to be on ESP before these, and possibly some of the other 110 features, would become available?

 

p.s.  Here is the ‘about ca wa workstation’  , so you see it is build 110:

Hi Mike,

 

We can't locate any related ESP PTF for this feature.

 

Will you open a support ticket? And we would need the Workstation trace to understand better for the possible root cause.

 

Thank you,
