AIK: Step 6.2 (Run test compilation) fails

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18; 23

[See "Additional Information" at the bottom of the article for another case of the "test_cobol.gnt compilation is not successful"
error with a different solution.]

v18 case:

------------

Description:
the AIK step 6.2 - Run test compilation fails with the message:

Run test compilation

Error: the test compile procedure has failed

Press any key to continue

The aleph_installation_kit.log reports errors with the COBOL compilation:

Checking Cobol compilation...
cob: can not create temporary directory /tmp?/cob15914
iprou: test_compile test_cobol
mv: cannot access test_cobol.gnt
Error: test_cobol.gnt compilation is not successful

Checking create_rts...
create rts
cob: can not create temporary directory /tmp</cob15964
mv: cannot access /exlibris/aleph/a20_1/aleph/exe/rts32x
==============================================
End of the compilation check
==============================================

Error: the test compile procedure has failed
Wed Dec 9 14:28:06 MET 2009 Step ikit_6_2 [ Failed ]


The /tmp-directory exists nevertheless with following properties:

(alephneub):/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/aik/log # ls -l /tmp/
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 aleph exlibris 189 Dec 9 14:27 201_sun_studio_11
drwxr-xr-x 2 aleph exlibris 117 Dec 9 14:23 hsperfdata_aleph

But not a /tmp? or a /tmp<

Resolution:

Cause of error:
---------------
The contents of the options file /exlibris/product/cobol_4.0/cobopt in the COBOL environment Micro Focus COBOL 4.0 were incorrect.

Incorrect:

-C nolist
-C linkcount=900
set TMPDIR=/tmp

Correct:

-C nolist


I cannot explain how this incorrect file was included in the 3rd-party products installation package of Aleph 20.
I will request a correction of the package.

Implemented solution:
---------------------
Corrected the file /exlibris/product/cobol_4.0/cobopt as described above.

Then I executed Step 6.2 of the Aleph 20 Installation Kit.

Result: the compilation test ran successfully, as can be seen in the log file aleph_installation_kit.log . 

v23 Case (00201252):

-----------------------------

The actual problem with the compile is: 

Checking Cobol compilation... 
Micro Focus LMF - 010: Unable to contact license manager. This product has been unable to contact the License Manager. Execution of this product has been terminated. This product cannot execute without the License Manager. Contact your license administrator or refer to the 'Information Messages' chapter of the License Management Facility Administrator's Guide.

(on libprddb04) Part of the cobol licensing system had survived a previous cleanup attempt, and was preventing the license from being installed after the cleanup. 

For your re-install on libprddb03, in addition to deleting everything in /exlibris (except ftp_from_exlibris), take care to delete /opt/microfocus, then reboot the server before attempting to re-install. 

The following error is NOT important and can be ignored: 
cp: cannot stat '/exlibris/product/cob51u11/etc/cobopt.x86_64': No such file or directory

It was necessary to reboot the libprddb03 before continuing with the install.   AIK 6.2 now succeeds.

--NOTE--  For v23 TWO_TASK installation see the article  v23 AIK step 6.2: "compile_ora compilation is not successful"  .
