2019.01 Update 3 Release
New Features and Enhancements
| Product | Internal Number | Case Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | VOV-10550 | Added inline documentation for the default vovcleanup config file, cleanup.config.tcl. | |
| All | VOV-6577 | A new configuration parameter
(liverecorder.logdir) has been added to
allow the Live Recorder recording file directory to be
specified. This can be used with both the vovservermgr
configure and vovslavemgr
configure utilities. The default location for the server remains $SWD/../. The default location for the slave remains /tmp. |
|
| All | VOV-9639, VOV-9640 | Improved the functional relationship between the refresh operation and the reporting operations of the vovprocessmgr utility, improved the help text for all options that needed clarification, added warnings about timing and accuracy, and added host filter support to the refresh operation for orphans. | |
| All | VOV-9454 | 23741 | Most of the VOV Tcl files from the installation package now contain a proper Altair copyright statement. |
| FlowTracer | VOV-5668 | 20732 | We support the following new features for stopping and
suspending jobs: The -signals, -include and -exclude options to nc stop and vovstop -f are now functional. The trace parameters defaultStopSignalCascade and defaultSuspendSignalCascade have been added to specify default behavior when requesting to stop or suspend a job, respectively. The trace parameters defaultStopSignalDelay has been added to specify default delay when requesting to stop a job, respectively. The job property STOP_SIGNALS can now be used to set stop-signal cascades on a per-job basis. The job property STOP_SIGNAL_DELAY can now be used to set the delay between stop signals on a per-job basis. |
Resolved Issues
| Product | Internal Number | Case Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | 24362 | Fixed a bug when vovserver incorrectly reports about license expiration for perpetual license. | |
| All | 23689 | Added a new time value trace parameter: preemption.rule.cooldown. Preemption rules that are disabled due to exceeding the max preemption processing time (preemption.max.time.rule) will observe a cooldown period equal to the value specified by preemption.rule.cooldown before being automatically re-enabled. The minimum value is 0 which indicates that an alert should be generated but the rule will not be disabled. The default and max value is 1y = off (rules will not be automatically re-enabled). | |
| All | VOV-10317 | Fixed an error that corrupted non-default values for the allowUidForSecurityFile parameter, which in turn could prevent the vovserver from honoring settings in the security file. | |
| All | VOV-10665 | Fixed an issue in the deprecated vtk_resourcemap_reserve Tcl command that caused an error when attempting to cancel existing reservations by updating the duration to 0 seconds. | |
| All | VOV-10239 | Simplified switches to avoid user confusion. | |
| All | VOV-10726 | Fixed an issue that caused the "show all rows" link to not appear in some web UI tables that were being limited. The behavior of this link has also changed slightly, in that when showing all rows, instead of passing the total number of rows the table is cognizant of back into the table as the new limit, a limit of 0 is passed. This triggers the table functionality to show all rows available. To prevent confusion, an empty string is displayed as the current limit value instead of 0. Before this change, the total number of rows was only current at the time the table was build, so the limit passed was often stale and still did not show all rows. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10187 | Client connections made by scripts run by the auto-start feature now close correctly when the script exits, instead of remaining open indefinitely. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10658 | 24604 | Fixed keyword expansion in log file names for array jobs and added support for cases where the array reference job ID is the intended target for an artificial dependency (AD) as opposed to each individual job in the array. This is accomplished via a new format for the AD target job: ARRAY:N, where N is the job ID of the array reference job. |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10581 | 24030 | Running commands via nc cmd ... or wx cmd ... will now apply the appropriate vnc_policy to the command's environment |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10337 | vovconsole hang issue has been fixed by handling duplicate IDs. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10901 | Fixed an issue where an undefined variable was being referenced upon an LSF job submission failure in vovlsfd. |
