Windows woes.....how to send a refresh event to an array of services, with one service depending on one other?

[Stephen Wallace]

Hi,

I'm using PE 3.1.1 on Win2k8R2.

I'm sending a refresh event to a class containing this declaration.....

   service { ['Sentinel RMS License Manager', 'Micro Focus XDB Server for ETD 2.2', 'Micro Focus CES daemon']:

     ensure => 'running',

     enable => 'true',

   }

This results in the follow Windows error embedded in the puppet debug output.....

*****

Error: /Stage[main]/Mf_ent_test_server::Init2/Service[Sentinel RMS License Manager]: Cannot stop Sentinel RMS License Manager, error was: Execution of 'C:/Windows/system32/net.exe stop Sentinel RMS License Manager' returned 4294967295: The following services are dependent on the Sentinel RMS License Manager service.

Stopping the Sentinel RMS License Manager service will also stop these services.

   Micro Focus CES daemon

Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [N]:

No valid response was provided.

******

i.e. To refresh the License Manager, I also need to refresh "Micro Focus CES daemon"

I suppose chaining each service in turn ensure => stopped, then chaining each again ensure => running would do the trick. Bit messy however.

Any ideas on this one would be appreciated. Lovin' Windoze.....(probably!)

It seems we could enhance the functionality of the windows service provider a bit. I'm not sure this is set up as a ticket yet after searching through our backlog. I can add a ticket for this

This is not a desirable outcome at all.

 

i.e. To refresh the License Manager, I also need to refresh "Micro Focus CES daemon"

Agreed that this would be messy.
