AW: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Conny.Martin]

Hi Thomas,

it seems like you‘re using SET-Fields $PROCESS$, which is used to get the 
STDOUT of the started process assigned to a field. This makes no sense as 
you’re redirecting STDOUT to /dev/null. So in this case use RUN-PROCESS instead 
of Set-Fields.
But your problem seems to be, that ssh is not in $PATH (returncode 127 
indicates this). So try to use an absolute path like /usr/bin/ssh or wherever 
your ssh client is installed.

Hi,

if you're on *x, you can do something like

RUN-PROCESS ssh server1 /path/to/your/licensetracker
RUN-PROCESS ssh server2 /path/to/your/licensetracker

within an escalation. If escalations are running on server1 it will connect via 
ssh to itself, which does not really matter.

RE: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Andre, Jacques]

Hi Thomas,

I wrote a workflow solution to this problem some time ago, and it still seems 
to work (Just tried it on 9.1.3)

It is basically one form with 2 escalations.

The following information is recorded in the form


  *   User Login Name
  *   License Name (AR User, Change , Incident … etc)
  *   License Type (Fixed, Floating, Read)
  *   Server Name (Server the user is logged into)
  *   Time Acquired (Time the license was acquired)
  *   Duration (How long the user has used the license (In Seconds))
  *   Status (Currently logged in or logged out)

More than happy to share this if it suites your needs.

Kind regards
Jacques Andre

Hi Thomas,

Conny has a very good idea. If your organization’s security policies allow for 
it, it will work just fine.

If you wanted / were forced to use a more old-school AR System-based approach, 
you will need to create two dummy forms populated with a record for each server 
in the group and then trigger something like the driver program or arimport 
from a run process triggered by an escalation on Dummy Form 1.
The driver/arimport then does a login to the individual server in the group and 
modify the record for that server on Dummy Form 2.
This can then trigger workflow to execute locally on the intended server in the 
group to do what you want on that specific server.

See 
https://docs.bmc.com/docs/ars91/en/enabling-the-data-import-utility-609071980.html
 for info on running arimport (much easier than doing this with the driver 
program).

RE: Re: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Mueller, Doug]

Thomas,

There are a variety of techniques you could use.


1)  If what you are doing is just analyzing a user log file (I seem to 
remember that this was what you were having your program do from somewhere in 
the thread….)….What if you just specified to put the user log onto a shared 
drive so that you can access all the three log files from any of the machines, 
and then just run your escalation to process them all from the one machine?

This puts all the processing on one machine but that one machine can access all 
the data desired.This works if what you want to do is just something like 
processing a file and there is no real other need to be on each machine.


2)  You could create a little form – maybe call it InformationCollector.  
This form would be a display only form to not even have any DB footprint.   You 
put all the workflow you want to run attached to this form – including the run 
process.   Now, set your escalation to do a web services call (or write a rest 
or java program) to perform a create on this entry for each of the servers.   
Make sure you send it to the actual machine name NOT to a load balancer so you 
are forcing the call to be processed by the corresponding server.   Note you 
could make it a service call instead if you want.

If there are results that you want to record and track over time, you could 
make the form a real form and put the results of the operation back into the 
form – or you could update another form or whatever you want to do to record 
the data.

This puts the processing on each machine with full access to the stuff on that 
machine.

If there are several different operations you want to trigger, use the Short 
Description of your form as a command form.  Send which operation you want to 
perform to that and have all your workflow have a qualifier that it runs only 
for the command that it is tied to.   Then, you could have many different 
operations driven separately but from the same place.

Everything else is really a permutation of these ideas – either get the files 
to one machine to manage or have a form that does processing and trigger on 
each.

Hopefully, this provides some ideas to work with to solve this situation and 
others where you are trying to do something similar.

AW: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Conny.Martin]

Hi,

if you're on *x, you can do something like 

RUN-PROCESS ssh server1 /path/to/your/licensetracker
RUN-PROCESS ssh server2 /path/to/your/licensetracker
RUN-PROCESS ssh server3 /path/to/your/licensetracker

within an escalation. If escalations are running on server1 it will connect via 
ssh to itself, which does not really matter.

We're collecting license information on each individual server reading the 
user.log I’m looking for a way to trigger the action on each individual server 
without having to use a cron job.

Job = Escalation

We don’t have and use AI. It’s Remedy core only. We don’t want cron either...

Re: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Tauf Chowdhury]

Do you mean escalations? Also is this during a maintenance period or scheduled 
outage? You could always bring up one server at a time and that way you can 
ensure escalations are running on that server if you’re in a server group with 
the failover configured.

Re: How to run a job on individual servers?

[Danny Kellett]

Escalation will only run from one AR Server at a time. So workflow on 
it's own might not cut it.
Not quite sure what "Job" is in the subject. But if something has to be 
run on each server then you will need something external like a cron to 
trigger it.


AI typically is run from one server at a time, however you can create a 
job/trans that will query the server group ranking; ar monitor or 
centralised config forms for the server names and connect to them 
directly run something

Subject: How to run a job on individual servers?


Hi there

we got three servers in the group and would like to collect information on 
every individual server. We did that in the past using a cron job but would 
prefer escalation which can be controlled by workflow. The problem is 
explanations run only on one of the three servers. Any idea how to trigger 
workflow on each individual server?
