Subject: [wpkg-users] cmd's not executed on some clients

Dear wpkg-users

We encounter a very strange problem on some computers:

We have the following 2 upgrade commands:

   
   upgrade 
cmd='\\server\wpkgsoftware\cadence\SPB\16_5\hotfixes\begintolog.cmd' /
   
   upgrade 
cmd='\\server\wpkgsoftware\cadence\SPB\16_5\hotfixes\instaatesthotfix.cmd'  
/
   
On the computers where it does not seem to run, it does not even execute the 
first begintolog script which is only a test-script made for debugging 
consisting of:

@echo on

echo beginning logging  c:\logfile2.txt


wpkg client version is 1.3.9

any help is appreciated


regards

Mike

Maybe you could post a full debug log from one of the machines where it 
obviously does not update properly and a full listing of the XML defining the 
package.


Very likely WPKG does not execute the upgrade commands as it does not detect an 
upgrade - ie. this means the package was not installed in older revision on the 
nodes which do not update properly. If the package is new to a host, then 
WPKG executes the install commands, not upgrade.


So please check the local wpkg.xml on the nodes which do not work properly. 
Maybe these machines got an earlier version of the package deployed. If the 
revision attribute has not been incremented since then WPKG will not perform an 
upgrade. So assuming you probably incremented the revision attribute before, 
then these hosts might have performed the upgrade already and now if you change 
the package on server side without incrementing the revision then WPKG will not 
re-execute the upgrade commands.

Rainer

this was also my idea, however it states it is upgrading and executing 
the command however really nothing occurs absolutely nothing.


as i am a quite experienced sysadmin i tried out to debug alot however 
not found anything usable.


i will try with a dummy package tomorrow (using install instead of 
upgrade) if on that host it does actually do anything when using 
install mode
