Deactivate build gives unexpected behaviour on activate

[Peter Kristiansen]

Hi,

We've recently upgraded to Parabuild 4.0.61 and have encountered a, to us, unexpected behaviour.

We use ClearCase as our VCS and our own-developed integration to ClearCase due to missing UCM support. To ensure that a build doesn't start at an in-opportune time when doing larger stream operations we have previously deactived the builds, and activated them after finishing and either starting the build or waiting for Parabuild to detect the change.

Now we see that if we deactivate a build, make a change to the sourcecode and activate the build again, that Parabuild changes state to "Getting changes" and then go to "Stopped by administrator".

We see similar behvaiour when we Stop an idle build, do changes and then Resume the build, only difference is that the message is "Stopped by <username>".

I can see in the logfiles of our ClearCase integration that there are changes, and as far as I can see the integration behaves properly. It works fine when in other cases, only when we deactivate and stop a build do we see these problems.

Hi Peter,

We have some questions:

Could you confirm that the problem sequence is as following?

1. Deactivate build.
2. Make changes.
3. Activate build.
4. The problem manifests itself.


What was the previous version from that you upgrades that worked for you?


Do you see any errors under "Errors" menu that you can see when logged as admin?

Hi Slava,

Yes, that is the sequence.
We upgraded from a 3.2.36

Peter,

This is certainly not how the system should behave. I have logged bug PARABUILD-1616. Please let us work on it.

Thank you.

Hi,

I think we can close this issue. After we have had to restart Parabuild (some times) in relation to this issue: http://forums.viewtier.com/viewtopic.ph ... 5c8511fa25 the deactivate/activate routine works again.

It could be related to our general stability problems. I think we should try to resolve those first and then get back to this one if it persists.

Peter,

Parabuild should not be stopping after activation. We hope to resolve this issue after Thanksgiving.

Hi,

Ohkay... If it is a problem you can reproduce I'm just wondering why can't I any longer... Well, if it is a problem that could occur it's of course best to have it fixed.
