The following new features and enhancements were introduced this software
release:
| Product | Internal Number | Case Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | VOV-9448 | Cached queries created via vtk_select_create or related commands can no longer expire while the results are still being processed. | |
| All | VOV-8080 | 22230 | Startup scripts for use with systemd are now included in $VOVDIR/etc/boot. |
| Accelerator Plus | VOV-9798 | 24022 | Added new parameter in vovwxd/config.tcl set CONFIG(agent,PreemptMethod) "" that specifies the preemption method for all wxagent jobs running in base NC queue. |
| Accelerator | VOV-8699 | Added support for cgroups v2. | |
| Accelerator | VOV-7248 | 20366 | Added the BUCKETTIME field to the JOBS object for vovselect, vtk_select_loop and related commands. This field indicates the time in seconds that a job spent after being assigned to a bucket, but before being dispatched to a slave. For jobs that are not yet assigned to buckets, this field will be 0. |
| Accelerator | VOV-9588 | Added IPv6 support. | |
| Allocator | VOV-9800 | Added a toggle button to the LA Resource Summary page to toggle matching of handles with "recent" jobs (i.e., jobs that have already finished running). Also, the existing push buttons for toggling debugging, etc. have been changed to toggle buttons. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-9692 | Added the 'fileready' and 'waitforfile' flags (visible when the flag is set) to the vovconsole GUI and web pages. |
Resolved Issues
The following issues were resolved in 2019.01 Update 1 software release:
| Product | Internal Number | Case Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | VOV-10040 | This fixes some issues with vov services on Windows not listening to both IPV4 and IPV6 network ports. Without this fix, the user may experience hangs while starting and stopping Monitor or other projects, and with nginx being unresponsive. | |
| All | VOV-9771 | Fixed an issue where all field names specified by vtk_select_create and related commands would be converted to upper-case in the returned Tcl array. The field names will now be returned with the same capitalization as requested by the user. | |
| All | VOV-9749 | Changed the behavior of the stop button in the vovssd SFD to stop the vovssd daemon and all child processes to prevent orphaned child processes from being present after exiting the SFD. | |
| Accelerator Plus | VOV-9379 | 23650 | vovwxd will show an alert when the deletion of a slave object is unsuccessful. The new alert will have "vovwxd could not destroy slave" title format. |
| Accelerator Plus | VOV-9745 | 24004 | Fixed a bug in vovwxd that was causing it to request slaves from the same base Accelerator queue when configured for multiple queues. |
| Accelerator Plus | VOV-9744 | 24001 | Improved the method of retrieving the slave status in Accelerator Plus from the base Accelerator queue. The new method will help to avoid the blocking of vovwxd caused by nc getfield command |
| Accelerator Plus | VOV-9797 | A configuration parameter was added that can change how wxagent responds to an nc stop command when running with an NC base queue. The parameter is named CONFIG(nc_stop_signals) and can be found in vovwxd/config.tcl. The default value is "" (empty string). If this parameter is set to a non empty string (for example, "USR1"), then the wxagent will be started with the additional parameter NC_STOP_SIGNALS set to the value of the string. | |
| Allocator | VOV-9151 | Fixed adding of maps with LA::AddResource (were not getting added to the Resource earlier). | |
| Allocator | VOV-7592 | 20921 | Fixed cleanup of .nfs* files. |
| FlowTracer | VOV-9158 | Fixed vovlsfd issue where all occurrences of "-R" was getting removed from BSUB_OPTIONS. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-9388 | Improved error message to display node Id. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-8776 | Changed the behavior of the "Forget" context menu in the canvas area for "Set" objects so that it now forgets the selected set; not its contents. The earlier behavior was to forget the set's contents but not the set. Added a new context menu "Forget Recursively" that forgets the selected set and its contents recursively. | |
| Accelerator | VOV-9511 | 23730, 23867 | Fixed issue where slaves in 'ready' state were shown as 'overloaded' on vovslavemgr update |
| Accelerator | VOV-9681 | 23977 | Fixed issues with the vovssd SFD (single-file distributable) that prevented it from working properly as a Windows service. Slaves are now stopped when vovssd is stopped from within the SFD GUI, the SFD is exited entirely, or its Windows service is stopped. This change prevents the situation where orphan slave processes are left behind, preventing the SFD from extracting into the same directory as before, which would be the case in a Windows service. |
| Accelerator | VOV-9051 | 23098 | Changed vovresourced to use more efficient data URLs for querying Monitor for data. |
| Accelerator | VOV-8928 | The parameter schedSkip has been replaced with schedMaxEffort. The documentation has been updated to reflect this change. | |
| Accelerator | VOV-9184 | Fixed a bug that was causing performance problems due to
generation of redundant NODESET events when submitting jobs
nc run -fb 1 -f <filename>. |
|
| Accelerator | VOV-9170 | Metrics system no longer requires a license. | |
| Accelerator | Changed internal representation of filesystem sizes to accommodate large filesystems. Customers with TMP filesystems up to 9x10^24 bytes should see correct values for the TMP# resource | ||
| FlowTracer | VOV-9613 | Fixed issue leading to nested visit error messages in logs. | |
| Monitor | VOV-9514 | 20544 | ftlm_batch_report, and a few other programs like ftlm_accouts and ftlm_tags_admin now opens only one db handle and use it throughout the process. |
