Working on a side project where I use a set of views to identify contention of records within an iSeries set of physical files.
What I would like to do once identified is pull the user profile locking the record, and then send a break message to their terminal as an informational break message.
What I have found is the QEZSNDMG API. Simple enough to use interactively, but I'm trying to put together a command that would be used in conjunction with QCMDEXC API to issue the call to QEZSNDMG and alert the user that they are locking a record.
Reviewing the IBM documentation of the QEZSNDMG API, I see that there are two sets of option parameters, but nothing as required (which seems odd to me, but another topic for another day). But I continue to receive the error "Parameters passed on CALL do not match those required."
Here are some examples that I have tried from the command line so far:
CALL PGM(QEZSNDMG) PARM('*INFO' '*BREAK' 'TEST' '4' 'DOUGLAS' '1' '1' '-4')
CALL PGM(QEZSNDMG) PARM('*INFO' '*BREAK' 'TEST' '4' 'DOUGLAS')
CALL PGM(QEZSNDMG) PARM('*INFO' '*BREAK' 'TEST' '4' 'DOUGLAS' '1')
Note: I would like to avoid using a CL or RPG program if possible but understand it may come to that using one of many examples I found before posting. Just want to exhaust this option before going down that road.
Update
While logged in, I used WRKMSGQ to see the message queues assigned to my station. There were two: QSYS/DOUGLAS and QUSRSYS/DOUGLAS. I then issued SNDBRKMSG with no affect on my workstation (IE, the message didn't break my session):
SNDBRKMSG MSG(TESTING) TOMSGQ(QSYS/DOUGLAS)
SNDBRKMSG MSG(TESTING) TOMSGQ(QUSRSYS/DOUGLAS)
I realized if I provide the workstation session name in the TOMSG parameter it worked:
SNDBRKMSG MSG(TESTING) TOMSGQ(*LIBL/QPADEV0003)
Using SNDBRKMSG was what I was looking for.
Some nudging in the right direction lead me to realize that the workstation session ID is located within QSYS2.RCD_LOCK in field JOB_NAME (job number/username/workstation).
Extracting the workstation ID allowed me to create a correctly formatted SNDBRKMSG command to QCMDEXC and alert the user that they are locking a record needed by another process.

Hello I ma trying to submit unsubmitted quiz attempts so I can grade them. So far I have set the timefinish column in mdl_quiz_attempts which changes the attempt status to "Not yet graded", then setting fraction to 0 from NULL and state to "gradewrong" from "complete" in mdl_question_attempt_steps to simulate submission but this seems to break the site. What am I missing?
You're going to have to trace through the code for the process_finish() function in mod/quiz/attemptlib.php ( https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/mod/quiz/attemptlib.php#L2171 ) and figure out how that all works.
This is a complex process and will require a lot of DB queries / updates in order to achieve it manually.
I would strongly recommend that you write a PHP script to do this, instead of trying to handle it manually (that way you can create an instance of 'quiz_attempt' for each user's attempt, then call $attempt->process_finish() on each, in order to close the attempt properly).
Thanks. The trick is to set the timefinish column in mdl_quiz_attempts which changes the attempt status to "Not yet graded", then setting the state to "gradewrong" from "complete" in mdl_question_attempt_steps for unsubmitted responses to simulate submission. Then set a fake 0 grade to sumgrades where grades are NULL in mdl_quiz_attempts and then running a regrade in the admin panel.
I want to store data in Redis Hashes. Data is as below (Key = Value):
30.2.25=REF_IP
30.2.24=MY_HOST_IP
30.2.32=PEER_IP
30.2.32=IM_USER_MY_HOST
30.2.2=23992
Easy way to store this info in redis is below :
hmset info 30.2.25 REF_IP 30.2.24 MY_HOST_IP 30.2.32 PEER_IP 30.2.32 IM_USER_MY_HOST 30.2.2 23992
Considering I have 1000's key value and want to change few (actually so many) values in one go so searching and editing value in above command is too painful.
i want some way to execute command in below manner, that is nice formatted command with new line after every key value :
hmset info
30.2.25 REF_IP
30.2.24 MY_HOST_IP
30.2.32 PEER_IP
30.2.32 IM_USER_MY_HOST
30.2.2 23992
Is it possible to do so ?
Currently when i copy above formatted command and paste, it ignore test after new line and giving below error which is obvious because argument is wrong due to new line.
hmset info
(error) ERR wrong number of arguments for 'hmset' command
Can anyone help please. Thanks.
Assuming you are talking about using redis-cli, there is no way to support this at the moment. There is an open issue for this. See https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/3474
As per Redis 4.0.0, HMSET is considered deprecated. You should use HSET instead. https://redis.io/commands/hset
You can use a transaction if you want to ensure all HSETs are done at the same time, and still enter them one line at a time.
MULTI
HSET info 30.2.25 REF_IP
HSET info 30.2.24 MY_HOST_IP
...
EXEC
The commands will be sent to the server one line at a time, but they are queued and only executed at the EXEC command.
You may use another client, say in Python, and then do something fancier as well to condense your field-value hsets into one command.
I have some questions about a PowerShell script I need to write:
My script gets a list of servers' IP and it's output has to be the status of each server's WakeOnLan parameter.
The output also has to include the time it took my function to return all the statuses of all the servers.
Measure-Command does not work in this case, because my function is pretty long and it gets a list of hundreds IPs.
Does anyone know how to make my function write the following output:
"The total time of providing WakeOnLan status for ___(number) servers is ___(minutes).
After writing my function in some cases it can not run the Connect-HPEBIOS
command (when the output is more than one IP): It prints that it can not connect because of credentials (even though they are being written in my function correctly), but after trying to call my function with (only that specific IP - and not a list of IPs) the function works properly without printing an error about the credentials.
Does anyone have an idea what should I do in the cases where my output is more than one IP? How can I fix it?
One more question- Do I have to refer in my function to the different possibilities of different ILO versions? Can there be problems performing the Connect-HPEBIOS command in the different versions?
Thanks a lot!
I am using REXX to invoke JOBTRAC programmatically which works however I am unable to pass JOBNAME arguments using this approach. Can this be done using REXX?
The idea is to find the history of the job run using the program jobtrac. We use jobtrac's schedule to find the history of when job runs happened. We invoke jobtrac using
‘TSO JOBTRAC’ AND SUPPLY history command ‘H XXXXXX’ in the command line (XXXXX – jobname)
I was thinking to route the jobtrac info to a flat file and parse it so that I can do some reporting real time during the job run. The above problem is also linked to this following scenario:
If I give dslist 'DSLIST A.B.C.*'’ in the ISPF panel
It gives the series of datasets ...
A.B.C.A,
A.B.C.D
A.B.C.E
When I give
"SAVE ORANGE"
it stores this list under
MYUSERID.ORANGE.DATASETS.
I know this can be automated pro grammatically and I have seen that . But I don’t have the code base to do that right now. This is much similar to the jobtrack issue I have.
Here is some REXX CODE to help with understanding. I know this code is wrong…we cannot use outtrap for this as it is used to get console output.
say 'No. of month end jobs considered for history :'jobnames.0
if jobnames.0 > 0 then do
do i = 1 to jobnames.0
say jobnames.i
jobname = Word(jobnames.i,1);
say 'jobname under consideration is ' jobname;
tsocmd="JOBTRAC;ADDLOC=000;H "|| strip(jobname);
say 'tso command is ' tsocmd;
y = outtrap(jobdetails.)
Address TSO "'tsocmd'" ------------------> wrong…I believe I have to use ispexec
say 'job details are ' jobdetails.6;
end;
Friends,
I'm facing another challenge in APEX and I hope you can help.
I have created a tree using the method described in John & Scott's superb book, "Pro Application Express" whereby the page link is stored in a table. Below is an example:
go to a page passing some parameters
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::::P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME:&P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.
When the page is run this works as expected. I can expand the tree and navigate to the page passing parameters if required.
However when I turned on session state protection these "hand crafted" links stopped working. Which I expected because the link contains no checksum.
After some investigation I see I have to use APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL to generate the URL with a checksum. Unfortunately this is where I run into problems. I can't seem to be able to pass the parameters values to the calling page.
The original tree query was:
select "IDENTIFIER" id,
"PARENT_IDENTIFIER" pid,
"TITLE" name,
"LINK" link,
null a1,
null a2
from <some table>
I then changed this to use APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL:
....
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID||':3:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME:&P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.') link,
...
and this works, the page is called and I can see the values of the parameters passed. But I can't use this method as it is restricted to the one page!
Finally I tried storing the page number, parameters and parameter values in different columns of the table that the tree is based on and then bring them together:
...
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID||':'||navigate_to_page||':'||:APP_SESSION||'::::'||parameters||':'||parameter_values) link,
...
Where:
navigate to page has the value of: 3
parameters has the value of: P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME
parameter_values has the values of: &P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.
This now calls the page, but the parameter values have become literals. so where I'm expecting an identifier I see &P2_IDENTIFIER and ditto for family name.
What am I doing wrong? How can I pass values to my called page using apex_util_prepare_url?
In case of need, my environment details are: Apex 3.2.1, Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3. Oracle Database 10.2.0.3
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
I think you'll need to resolve those variables, using the v() function:
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID
||':'||navigate_to_page
||':'||:APP_SESSION
||'::::'||parameters
||':'||v('P2_IDENTIFIER')||','||v('P2_FAMILY_NAME')) link,
On a side note, you might need to be careful about P2_FAMILY_NAME since it's being used in the url; it sounds like a plain text field which contains user-entered data?
