Hi,

for the last three-four weeks, we have not been able to access the remote
coral, it always gives the error "cannot access equipment information", this
is the same error which my colleagues chris (ckenney) and dong (dyu) get
when they try to connect to remote coral, could you please look into the
problem and suggest what needs to be done to get it working since its
creating a lot of problem for us ... (rather its the 40 miles drive which
scares me .. )

regards,
Sunil.

I am having trouble getting remote coral to run on my computer.  Java Web
Start runs fine, but after I type in my username and password I get the
following error dialog box: "Error!  Cannot access equipment information!"  
Is this a problem on my end?  I'm not sure because I have heard of a
similar problem from another user. 

I am also not sure if I've got multiple sessions of coral running now,
because I tried this a number of times and, since I got the same error
message each time, I wasn't able to close the session.

I have tried running Remote Corral on a Linux box, but no go. The box is
here in CISX 205. Remote Coral does work under WIN98 for the same

(or something like that). I sent the error log file.

I'd really like to have it running under Linux.  Just wanted to let you

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.04.10103061512090.14605-100000@snf.stanford.edu>

John and Mike,

Earlier this afternoon, the event manager ran out of memory.  The
following error occurred in Sun's Corba implmentation code: 


java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
        at com.sun.CORBA.iiop.IIOPConnection.createInputStream(IIOPConnection.ja
va, Compiled Code)
        at com.sun.CORBA.iiop.ReaderThread.run(IIOPConnection.java, Compiled Cod
e)
2001-03-06 15:06:19 Posted event: 101 (43, 43) Elapsed time: 9 + 3872 msec

This doesn't necessarily mean the problem is in their code.  However,
based on the performance of our code over the last two weeks, I 
suspect that Sun has a memory leak in their Corba implementation.
If this is the case, increasing the memory allocated to the event
manager JVM will only defer the problem.  We may wish to place
some print statements in the event manager code to track memory 
utilization.

Thanks,
Bill

John and Mike,

I have been intentionally running the Coral software for long 
periods without restarting the servers because I wanted to stress test the
application and prove the robustness of our code.  (Apparently Sun doesn't
have the same high standards.)  Anyway, in most actual production 
environments, Coral would be restarted once a week.  So we probably shouldn't
waste any time tracking down this memory leak.  We do have some options.
Until today, we had been running over two weeks under a heavy load with
no problems.  First, we could leave the JVM initial memory allocation
for the event manager where it is and, additionally, set a mamximum
memory allocation to twice the intial allocation.  That would probably
give us four weeks.  That should be overkill.

>From the logs, it appears that the event server ran out of memory at

great; events just weren't being posted any longer.   The servers had
been up for one week.   However, it was a week of very heavy activity
where we frequently exceeded 50 concurrent active users.  As soon as I
finish the database/code cleanup, I will double the memory allocated to
the event server JVM which should give us a couple of weeks under a
heavy load.

Of course, I immediately restarted all the servers when I found the
problem this morning.

Status on database cleanup:  I'm currently modifying the ticket generation
code to handle our new default project/account changes.  After this, I
need to make a quick set of global changes to accommodate the change
from expired to active in works_on and charges_to.  Then (finally), we're
ready to modify all the tables and test extensively.

Sylvie,

I apologize for my delay in responding to your request.  I hope it's not
too late to be included on your list of Java Web Start partners.  We 
have been using Java Web Start with great success since December 15, 2000.
We run a sophisticated nanofabrication facility which is used by academic
and industrial users from around the world.   Together with MIT and 
UC Berkeley, we have written a custom application called Coral to manage 
all aspects of lab operation including equipment control, equipment 
reservations, lab access, accounting,  equipment maintenance, facilities
monitoring, ...  Since our lab users frequently travel great distances
to use our facility, it was essential that we provide secure remote
access to our software.  Java Web Start was the natural choice since
our application is completely written using Java and CORBA (except for
our equipment control device drivers which are written in C).   We
currently have hundreds of local users and over 150 remote users of 
Coral.  With very limited assistance from us, our remote users have
downloaded and installed JWS and Coral on a wide variety of different
platforms.  If you need any additional information, please let me know.

We love Java and are greatly to Sun for their wonderful community spirit
and sharing of this great technology.

Thanks,

John & Bill,

Turns out if we disconnect  the fiber from the E3500 and plug it into a
test switch we see traffic both ways. So it doesn't look like a bad
fiber. Then if we plug a short patch cable in the E3500 and to a test
switch located next to it, you see nothing until you giggle the end of
the top cable for a while. Eventually we did get it to start, but only
for a while. My guess is that there is some sort of switch that is
engaged when you push a fiber into the jack on the card. The top one
just doesn't feel right. This is similar to the button on the microvax
3600 problem. While I suspected this as the problem early on without the
spare switch (Jason supplied) it was tough to nail down. If this had
been a 100baseT I could have nailed the problem in a few minutes since
we have a tester. I'll look around a bit for something that will work
with fiber in the event this happens again.

Sun has promised to send someone out - first thing tomorrow.

After taking another look at the logs, I'm wondering if we haven't been
having intermittent problems with this network card for a few days.  I also
believe that what I thought may have been a CORBA memory leak at 7:15am
yesterday was really network delays related to the Sunray card.  For the 
last two days, we have had a significant number of events which have taken
minutes to deliver with no apparent reason.  I think that the reason
may have been retrys to get to the sunrays in the lab.  Once the card is
fixed, we'll see if there's a noticeable difference.

John and Bill,

Turns out the gigabit card will be flown into our area as none are
locally available. Steve, our Sun FE, will try to give me a time that
the card will get delivered to 420 Via Ortega. He suspects it will take
at least 4 hours. When it arrives I am to page him. Since this is an
open case I can only hope the 4 hour rule doesn't apply! I'll talk to
Tony and Raphael so we can minimize lag time. We can run Coral remote
from PCs in the lab and elsewhere if that gets us anywhere.  I've
noticed that it runs a lot faster without all those pesky lab users.  We
could also produce a form and ask users to submit their time in writing
and we could enter it after the fact. Or not. Last do we want to post a
message on the web site for remote users or even disable remote Coral
since a reservation for today would conflict with our - all on - first
come - first serve situation.

Balaji:

Do you know if it downloaded the file Coral application onto your machine?

If you do a find for "coral" on you machine you should see some files which
the name coral in them buried in some deep directory.  On my machine they are
in:
C:/Program Files/Java Web Start/javaws/cache/ .... and about 3 more
directories down.

If they are there, set up Java Web Start so that it does logging to a local
file: In my case I log to D:/Home/javaws.log ... this can be specified on the
Java Web Start control panel under Preferences/Advanced, I think.

Then try to fire up Coral and either send us the log file or see if it offers
any clues.

Finally, are you doing this from Intel?  Are you behind a firewall?  If so,
there may be the chance that a firewall at your end isn't allowing the
underlying CORBA traffic through.  If you are behind a firewall, do you have
the ability to try remote coral from a location that is not behind a firewall?

I hope this helps,

Let me know what you find.

Thanks,

John

Tony,

I need to know the exact version of Java that you are running locally.
This looks like a bug in the JDK.  Locally, we are using 1.2.2.  I suspect
that you are using 1.3.1 or 1.3.x.   If you run java with the -version 
switch, you can get the version number.  Here's the "java -version" output
from the sunray:

sunray [/home/labnet/bin] $ /app/jdk/bin/java -version
java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-W, native threads, sunwjit)

Mike and John,

In case you're not on the labnetwork mailing list, here's a message that
hit the list this morning.

Subject: Cleanroom management software

Dear colleagues:

At CAMD/LSU, we have a class 100 cleanroom with a
variety of lithography, thin film deposition, and
metrology equipment serving about 50 registered users.
We would like to automate the equipment reservation
and logon/off process by using some type of integrated
software/hardware. I know that MIT has a system called
CAFE but I am not aware of its capabilities. Can
anyone point me towards any software commercial or
otherwise that can do this efficiently? Is CAFE
available at the market place?

Thanks.

Yohannes M. Desta
Research Associate, CAMD/LSU

Message-ID: <20010320235459.38001.qmail@web13304.mail.yahoo.com>

Dear Sir / Madam,

As an industrial lab user of the SNF facility I have
tried to access the equipment list externally to be
able to book equipment.  I have set up an external
password at SNF and downloaded the relevant Java web
start software on my remote PC but I have been unable
to get access to the equipment lists.

When I launch the Coral Remote (SNF) application I get
to enter my username and password but get an error
message after about three minutes of "Cannot access
equipment information".  Can you advise me what can be
done to get access?

It would help if you could cc replies to:

jeff at digimagik.com

Thanks for your help.

Mark Talary

John and Mike,

I'm finishing up the final sql conversion script.  I'll try running
the conversion scripts on bopeep later this morning.  I'll let you
know how it goes.

Finally testing the conversion scripts.  I'm going to take lunch and return

John and Mike,

Although there were no errors in any of the logs and everything looked 
great on rosen, there had not be any events posted since around midnight
last night.  As I checked the other logs, it became clear that lots of
events should have been posted during that time period.  Although the
event server appeared to be working fine, I don't think it was.  So I
restarted all.  

I have saved the logs in /var/log/labnet/lastlog.   I can see from the event
server log that the server was still up and running at 7:15 am this morning
because of this entry:

Service queue thread: ConcurrentModificationException.
2001-03-29 07:15:36-->
The service queue has been modified.
Will try to service again in 100 milliseconds.

This is wierd.  Memory use also looked fine.  It doesn't appear to be 
a network problem because enables were being logged by the hardware
manager during this time period.  I'm puzzled.

Bill

John and Mike,

Based on a preliminary review of all the conversion logs on bopeep, I
believe I have successfully converted all the data on the development
platform.  I have also cleanly compiled and installed all the new
code on guilden.  Since we've eliminated snfdev, I need to make some
minor modifications to the configuration files before firing up the
servers to begin testing.  

I'm stopping for lunch now.  Does anyone remember which machine used
to be labadmin.snfdev?  I'm sure it will come to me after lunch.

Thanks,
Bill
