Go Agent on IBMi

[Charles Martin]

Hi folks,

I am trying to run a go agent on an IBMi Power Server (see more here : http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247858.html).
As long as Java run on it, i expect it should work.
I am able to launch mthe agent, the server notice it, and add it to the agent list in pending state.
I enable it and add some resources to it.
Then i try to launch a pipeline on this agent.

The pipeline remain in "scheduled" state, and say about the agent it is "Not yet assigned (ip:Unknown)".
When i check the agent state, it is in "lost contact" state.

Could i get some help to do a diagnostic ?

The java version is 1.7.0.

Thank you.
Charles

Check if the agent process is still running. If its still running, agent logs should give you some hint about the what could causing this.

After few minutes, the agent process is gone.

I have 2 logs :

Looks like another process is already running:
10033 [main] ERROR com.thoughtworks.cruise.agent.

launcher.Lockfile  - Already running agent launcher in this folder.

Please check if there is another Java process.

On the Go server, check in the Agents tab if there is an agent connected from this machine's IP.

Yes, there are other process.
What is weird is they appear when i try to stop the agent.

You should know that i tried to use the solaris shell script to start / stop the agent.
And thoses scripts didn't work (of course, i am not in a solaris environment), so i created thoses functions i use to start / stop the agent.


The script i created =>
----------------
#whoami is needed by the script but doesn't exist here
whoami() {
    id | cut -f1 -d" " | cut -f2 -d"(" | cut -f1 -d")"
}

gostart() {
    #/etc/init.d/go-agent start
    /usr/share/go-agent/agent.sh
}

gostop() {
    /usr/share/go-agent/stop-agent.sh
    rm -r /var/lib/go-agent/*
    rm -r /var/log/go-agent/*
}

goid() {
    cat /var/run/go-agent/go-agent.pid
}
----------------

When i use the gostop function, the new agent appear on the server.

[Charles Martin]

To be more accurate.

Please check if there is another Java process.

=> I see other process on the server, i am not sure how to check this on the client machine. Do you know how to do it on a linux like command ?

On the Go server, check in the Agents tab if there is an agent connected from this machine's IP.

=> On the server, i have this line :

hercule.si3si.int

/var/lib/go-agent

OS/400

172.25.161.153

pending

0 bytes

no resources specified

no environments specified

=> which will turn as "lost contact" as soon as i give it some work.

Hi Charles,

A few things you can check:

1. Login to the agent box and run something like: ps -ef | grep -i go    OR    ps aux | grep -i go . This should work on a Unix. This should show running Go agent processes. What does it say?

2. You showed the line in the agents tab on the server. It says that the agent is: "Pending". You will need to select it and "Enable" it (a button on the top of the page).

3. You should be able to find some logs in /var/log/go-agent. Can you check whether they show something?

4. You mentioned the Java version, but not the kind. Meaning, whether it is IBM Java or Sun JRE or Open JRE. We do not support IBM Java. The fact that you've got the agent showing up on the Agents tab probably means that you don't have IBM Java. Is this right?

Cheers,

Aravind

Hi Aravind,

Here are the results of your questions.

1. Login to the agent box and run something like: ps -ef | grep -i go    OR    ps aux | grep -i go

. This should work on a Unix. This should show running Go agent processes. What does it say?

2. You showed the line in the agents tab on the server. It says that the agent is: "Pending". You will need to select it and "Enable" it (a button on the top of the page).

=> Yes, i know. When i enable an agent, it will get in "lost contact" state if i wait a little, or if i launch a pipeline on it, or if i disable it and reenable it.

3. You should be able to find some logs in /var/log/go-agent. Can you check whether they show something?

4. You mentioned the Java version, but not the kind. Meaning, whether it is IBM Java or Sun JRE or Open JRE. We do not support IBM Java. The fact that you've got the agent showing up on the Agents tab probably means that you don't have IBM Java. Is this right?

"IBM J9 VM" is bad news, i guess. Anyway, i will check if i can use another java kind, like Sun Java or Open Java.

2. You showed the line in the agents tab on the server. It says that the agent is: "Pending". You will need to select it and "Enable" it (a button on the top of the page).
=> Yes, i know. When i enable an agent, it will get in "

lost contact" state if i wait a little, or if i launch a pipeline on it, or if i disable it and reenable it.


==> This is not entirely true. It seems if i enable the agent, it remain in idle state as long as i don't do anything with it.

[Charles Martin]

Finally, i lost contact with the agent without doing anything.

I asked about using something else than IBM Java on an IBMi forum.

Here is what came out :
---------------------------------------------
Answer 1 :

My experience has been that if you find an incompatibility with IBM's J9 JVM then reporting it to IBM support generally gets it fixed.  Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.  Granted that my experience was with some JRuby J9 issues a year or so ago and things have changed (always change) at IBM...but it is worth it to get a test case put together and get a PMR going with IBM.  They are remarkable in their responsiveness (IMHO). Have you tried the app in Windows or Linux using the IBM JVM? 

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/

Always worth it to find out whether it is an IBM i specific or J9 general issue....

Answer 2 :

Theoretically,  you should be able to install an AIX port of either JVM in the QOpenSys file system. However, neither will be optimized for Power the way J9's are.

Pure Java apps will nearly always run on any JVM. Many apps, however, have JNI components developed for a specific processor or operating system. If that's the case, you'll have work to do to run on Power whatever JVM you choose. I'd do some digging to find out why these JVM's are preferred before spending time trying to install a "foreign" JVM on IBMi. You also have the option of running on a Linux partition.

I am not a Java expert at all, i rely on you all.
What do you think ? I should try IBM Java anyway ? Or install Sun Java despite many issues ?
Or is it just a bad idea to try to make it work on an IBMi ?

I'm not sure about whether it is a bad idea to try on IBMi, yet. But, as I mentioned before, IBM Java is not supported at all. Not because of lack of effort. :) There is an incompatibility (at least one) between Sun/Open Java and IBM Java, regarding SSL. That's why IBM Java will not work with Go.

My guess, even though I cannot see anything wrong in the logs, is that the agent process is dying, and that's why it goes into "lost contact" mode. Sometimes, the kernel (at least on Linux) kills a process if the system is running out of memory. I don't know enough about the IBMi to tell you whether this is happening, though.

I'd try with Sun or Open JRE, before we give up completely. As you mentioned, there might be issues (especially of performance on the IBMi), but it might not affect you or it might not be noticeable in your use case.
