Re: [U2] [UV] Locked License Seat {unclassified}

2009-08-02 Thread MACK ANDREW, MR
Dan, I had a look around with procexp (and isn't it a nice wee app
indeed!) but couldn't see anything that matched the locked up PID. Could
be my inexperience with the app though as it does produce a lot of very
detailed info. Anyway, we had a server reboot scheduled for the weekend
so I decided to wait and see if that would tidy things up and it did!

I find it interesting that uvlictool and stopping the UniVerse services
couldn't shift a locked up UniVerse lic but a server reboot did. That
points to a rogue process holding the license but it can't seen using
tasklist or procexp.exe.

Anyway, problem solved until next time :-) Thanks Dan, Daniel and Jeff
for your suggestions and help.

Andy

Microsoft has a tool called procexp.exe that shows a process and all its
children processes attached to it.  Using this tool you can kill the
parent and the child processes.   This should free up what you need to.
Just be careful, it is a very powerful tool.

Good luck,

Do you have any rogue cmd.exe processes running on the server? One of the
most common causes we've seen for stuck licenses is that the uv session
launched a DOS /c command line process that was somehow problematic. Killing
the uv process was not enough, the cmd.exe process it launched had to be
zapped as well, only then would the uvlictool free up the license.

 Hi all,
 
 I have a small problem with a license seat (42) that is being consumed
 by a PID (2160) according to uvlictool, but that is not showing up in
 PORT.STATUS or the Windows tasklist.
 
 I have tried uvlictool clean_lic -a and both kill 2160 15 and kill 2160
 9 with no effect. UniVerse has been restarted several times since it
 started to show up and that hasn't shifted it. ANALYZE.SHM advises that
 there is no printer segment attached to the PID so it just seems that it
 is a tied up license issue.
 
 I cannot find any info on anything besides uvictool that would allow me
 to examine or clear the license, so before I escalate this to IBM, does
 anyone have any ideas?

 Thanks for you help.

Sorry. I just noticed this was a windows server and I gave you *nix 
syntax. I didn't scroll down far enough.

Thanks for the help Dan.

I did have a few rouge cmd.exe processes but cleaning them up didn't
tidy up this license problem :(

I will bear this wee trick in mind though, as I have had other problems
that this could have solved. :)
