Keeping Track of Tomcat Engines

Keep track of which instance runs each job, in case you later need to view the logs or to troubleshoot or resume a job.

To keep track of the instances, follow these best practices:

In ILM 5.3.3 and previous versions, incorporate the instance in the project name to associate the job with the instance. For example, use a project name such as AR_ACME_PROD1 where PROD1 is the instance that the job is running on.

Effective in ILM 5.3.4, use the informia.appendHostAndPortInLog parameter in the conf.properties file to identify the host name and port number of the instance where the job is running. Edit the conf.properties file for each instance and set the parameter to informia.appendHostAndPortInLog=Y. ILM appends the host name and port number to the timestamps in the logs. The configuration applies to all Data Archive, Data Masking, and Data Subset jobs and all standalone jobs.

To see which instance has the least load for a new job, go to each instance and check the Thread Queue Manager. The queue manager can be found at http://URL:port/jsp/tqm.jsp. This page shows you how many threads are running and pending for each instance. You can pick the least active instance to begin the new job.

The following is an example of the tqm.jsp output:

Thread Status
ThreadId=86 ThreadName=SCHEDULEJOB$86$174_WYETHIDR_IDR_201011 174_WYETHIDR_IDR_201011 Status=Running GroupId=SCHEDULEJOB$86 ParentIds=null
Priority=1
ThreadId=148 ThreadName=JOBSTEP$148$Copy To Destination Status=Running GroupId=JOB$86 ParentIds=null Priority=0
ThreadId=33906 ThreadName=33$RES_FACT$FLAT_FILE Status=Running GroupId=STEP$148 ParentIds=null Priority=1
ThreadId=33914 ThreadName=33$SAMP_BRIDGE$FLAT_FILE Status=Running
GroupId=STEP$148 ParentIds=null Priority=1

Each thread that has "status=Running" will count against the total thread count allocated through the amMaxServerThreads parameter. For example, if you have the parameter set to 30, then, for this instance, 27 threads are left for other processes.

The best instance to start a new job is one where the tqm.jsp returns the following status:

Thread Status
No threads in queue

Effective in ILM 5.3.4, if you set informia.appendHostAndPortInLog parameter=Y to append the host name and port number to the logs, the job logs in View Current Jobs indicate what instance a job is running on. Using this information, you can open the job log for any process in a running state to see which engine has the heaviest load and which one has the lightest load.
