java GregorianCalender problem...

[Soundararajan]

Hi All,

I am facing a strange problem in my HP-UX machine. I recently installed HP-UX 11.0 (Sep 2002 release) on this system (J6700) along with QPK bundle (that came with the CD) and the latest patches required to run java applications (1.3.1_02). Intermittently (more frequently I should say) our java applications throw the following exception:

------

I have other older ('C' Class) HP-UX systems running 11.0 (not Sep 2002 release), but I am not facing this problem in any of these machines.

Can anybody please let me know what could be the problem.

Thanks,
Soundar

Hi

Software works or doesnt. This sounds like a bad CPU or at least hardware.When you get the HW which is faulty then you get the problem.

Would suggest you have a check done for a CPU which is failing.

Hi Steve,

Thanks very much for the reply. Yes, the software works. The software is designed to exit once it catches an exception.

I checked /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for any problems, I did not see any messages relating to a hardware issue. What are the other log files that I should check for hardware issues? How do I check if a CPU is failing? Any diagnostics tool that I can use to check the hardware?

Thanks,
Soundar

hi,

try to use STM for the diagnostic and troubleshooting.

also, find a script that can help you in this task..

hope this helps!

Thanks very much for the reply Yogeeraj !!

I dont find cstm on my machine (under /usr/sbin). Even did a find of cstm from /, but its not found. Can you please let me know where can I find this tool. Is it part of any product/bundle/fileset? If so, which CD I can search for.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I was on an unexpected vacation for sometime and hence the delay in replying.

Steve, you were perfectly right. The problem was with one of the CPU. I logged a call with HP and with the help of their support group, I was able to confirm this and they replaced the motherboard itself (as CPU is not FRU). Thanks a lot. I never expected it would lead to a hardware problem.

Thanks to all for helping me out on this. Online Diagnostics software was not completely installed on the system and hence I was not able to find out cstm utility. Once I installed it, I was able to find it out.

Thanks Again !!
