Message Manager Archive.mmc mpa problem

[clk430]

6.7.1 Win2k

Our server is brand new and we just installed 6.7.1 and deployed a few systems. All is well, except in the management console, the archive.mmc map remains open.

Specifcally:
Component - archive
Map - Mercator6.7/mmgr/archive.mmmc
System - Archive
State - Put Adapter
Card - 3
Resource - ZIP

Any ideas why this map takes so long to finish?

 

[janhes]

Depends on the size and number of entries in the zip file. There are limits to both and I have found the zip adapter hangs if it starts aproaching either limit.

Did you make sure you copied the old mercator.ini file settings to the new file?

Yes, I copied, but made some adjustments to maxthreads as the new server has twice as many CPU's. Also, I reduced the triggertime from 30 to 10.

After watching it some more, the archive map does not hang - it just takes forever to zip files! There is a bout a 15 minute back-up and the files are 1-5kb...very small.

Boca - what in the .ini file could be different to affect that map?

janhes - what kind of limit do you caluclate it has?

 

[BocaBurger]

Not much. Are you running multi-threaded for that map? How many files are you putting in the zip? Is this from a RUN map or top level map?

You might check w/ support to see if there are any zip patches for 6.7.1.

Boca - The map is the default message manager archive map. It is set at 1 maxconccurent.

Generally, there are about 5000 files per day that need to be zipped. The old server (1 proc machine) never had them queue up. The new one (2 proc and faster) has them queing up and takes about 30 second per file to archive.

 

[BocaBurger]

Sounds like a resource or I/O issue. Is the target local to the server?

The target should be. It's in the default Mercator6.7 structure. Here are the settings.

Watch: 3
MSL File: e:\mercator6.7\systems\MessageManager.msl

and the code:
=IF(Plaform Field:.:Config="NT",
PUT("ZIP",
"FILE,%mmgr_archiver%stampfil\stamp_archive"+FROMDATETIME(CURRENTDATE(),"MMDDYY")+".zip,"+GETFILENAME(Data_In),
GETFILENAME(Data_In)),

PUT("TAR",
"-ARCHIVE %mmgr_archiver%stampfil/stamp_archive"+FROMDATETIME(CURRENTDATE(),"MMDDYY")+".tar -MEMBER "+
SUBSTITUTE(GETFILENAME(Data_In),GETDIRECTORY(Data_In),"")+" -A -FILE"+GETFILENAME(Data_In),
Data_In))

 

[janhes]

The file size limit was 2gb and max number of files 262,144

Did you upgrade Messgae Manager when you upgraded fron 6.7 to 6.7.1? If I remember correctly, there were some patched needed for Commerce Mgr in that version range. Check with support for required patches.

Interesting - how can I determine of the service pack was applied to Commerce Manager? I opened partner manager on the new server and the version is 7.0 and the build is 1092. eh?

 

[BocaBurger]

Check with IBM support. Some of the patches were map changes AFAIK.
