jts linux service fails

CLM 6.0.0 Patch 2

OS: Linux

I am trying to configure the JTS process as a service via Upstart. When starting the service with the command: sudo start JTS, I hit an error in catalina.out file:

java.util.zip.ZipException: Exception in opening zip file: /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/qm/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/418/1/bundlefile

BUT, if I run the process manually using server.startup it works like a charm.

My conf file is

description "JTS"

start on startup

start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [!2345]

post-start script

cd /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server

exec ./server.startup

end script

post-stop script

cd /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server

exec ./server.shutdown

end script

Running server.startup as a root doesn't produce the errors

I didn't figure it out, so I am running the command as root instead.

exec su root -c "ulimit -n 65536;ulimit -u 10000;/opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.startup"

Fixed the problem. The service needs some environment variables to be set.

Please state which Environment variables had to be set so that Upstart could start your Jts service.

With Ubuntu's shift from Upstart to Systemd for system services management in 16.04, I refactored my Upstart script into a systemd script for JTS. Several useful capabilities in systemd that are lacking in Upstart are the ability to set resource limits for the monitored daemons and to track a daemon's claimed process identifier through its own pid file.

The result is that a short *.service file for JTS can better handle server.startup than could be done with Upstart and its "expect fork|daemon" stanza.

Note too that start-stop-daemon does not participate in PAM and both Upstart and systemd do not either. This means that as admins we have to figure out other ways to grant server.start and its children greater resource limits.

Here's the Service stanza from my working systemd jts.service file:

[Service]
ExecStart=<%= @jtsPath %>/server/server.startup
ExecStop=<%= @jtsPath %>/server/server.shutdown
Type=forking
PIDFile=<%= @jtsPath %>/server/liberty/servers/.pid/clm.pid
User=vagrant
Group=vagrant
WorkingDirectory=<%= @jtsPath %>/server
LimitNOFILE=65535:65535
LimitNPROC=10000:10000

(This is a template that vagrant chef populates, replacing jtsPath with the actual deployment path. Don't just copy the text above and expect that systemd will do anything with text like "<%= @someVar %>".)

Thanks the info. i am using chef as well. Can you share the whole cookbook?

I can share parts of it but the entire "menu" of recipes is a Sodius service as product. For example, I have a public recipe to set up a DB2 server so that it is Jazz-ready but configuration of Jazz with DB2 is a product, not open source.

Here's the little routine chef template resource use that uses the above template to make a systemd service for a deployed JTS environment. (Getting to that deployed JTS environment takes a few more recipes and tearing of hair.) template "systemd jts" do action :create source "systemd_jts.erb" path Pathname( '/etc' ).join( 'systemd' ).join('system').join( "jts.service" ).to_s owner "root" group "root" mode "0644" variables :timestamp => DateTime.now(), :jtsPath => jtsPath.to_s end

Thanks. I will check it soon. Let me know if you require any other routine. I am almost hairless :-)

Good to know. Where can I find more info about Sodius product?

You will likely want a chef "service" resource later in your recipe that starts this JTS service through the systemd methods. I am using: service "jts" do provider Chef::Provider::Service::Systemd action :start start_command "systemctl start jts" stop_command "systemctl stop jts" supports :restart => false, :reload => false, :status => true pattern jtsPath.join( 'server' ).join('jre' ).join( 'bin' ).join( 'java' ).to_s only_if { jtsPath.join( 'server' ).join('jre' ).join( 'bin' ).join( 'java' ).exist?() } end

Because I tell it which provider, it may no longer be necessary to tell it the start and stop commands; the Systemd provider SHOULD know how systemctl works.

Thanks Lonnie. Seems like a great job on your part.
