Nightly Loop Test

Test Objectives

To test ldas handling of continuous job streams of various user commands esp. those used at production sites:

Setup

LDASJob package from ligotools is required for running this test. Check that either package is mounted.
Note: currently the scripts on dev are set up to use a modified version of ligotools that supports globus sockets so the ligotools package used is installed at ldas-dev:/export/ldcg_server/mlei/ligotools, with the following included in ~ldas/.cshrc to support this package
```
eval `/export/ldcg_server/mlei/ligotools/bin/use_ligotools`.
```
The environment variable LIGOTOOLS is set to /export/ldcg_server/mlei/ligotools as a result.

If ligotools is not installed, the scripts can be modified to use LDASJob package from the ldas installation by including /ldas/lib in the auto_path: e.g.

pipeloop.tcl: set ::auto_path "/ldas/lib . $auto_path"

Install the following tests script in a directory the ldas system common to all API hosts, e.g. /ldas_usr/ldas/test/bin
- AllTest.rsc - Resource configuration


        Test Execution
        
		Login to site gateway box e.g. dev, as user ldas
		cd <your workdir directory> e.g. /ldas_outgoing/test; a local resource AllTest.rsc may be present to overide settings in the standard <AllTest.rsc.>
        To start all tests usage: startAllTest <site> &
		
e.g. on dev
startAllTest dev &
        
To stop all tests  usage: stopAllTest <site> &
		
e.g. on dev
stopAllTest &

        It would take a few minutes for the scripts to all terminate as some of the createRDS jobs takes longer time to complete before the tests can exit.
		

        
        Test Report Generation
        
		Bring up cmonClient
		Hit Jobs page tab.
        Hit Test Report page tab.
        Select the time period on the left side. If it is a Monday, cmonClient will prompt the user for archiving the report.
        You can check if cntlmon is working on the report by viewing cntlmon logs.
        The finished report is displayed on your web browser as a new tab.
        Review the logs to fill in details not covered by log filtering.  Additional patterns can be added to cntlmon resources:
        
::DISKCACHE_LOG_PATTERNS for diskcache logs and ::KNOWN_ERRS_LOG_DESC for non-diskcache logs
