No time already!!!

I have been trying to fix the Autosys issue on the new machine for the last 2 weeks. First, was the license keys issues, worked with the folks at CA to get the keys generated. There were issues, each time I got the keys from them, I applied them on the servers, but it just won't work properly.

The server and client keys actually tied to the hostnames, hostids and instance, it's so complicated! Next, the Peoplesoft adapter keys for the clients, the keys just won't work.

In the end, I told them to generate a temporary 't' key, it seems to work now, jobs can be triggered on the clients, but for PS jobs, *sigh*...yes, jobs were triggered, but they are not running, how I know that? Checked the PS scheduler logs, nothing there!

So, I'm back today, troubleshooting the issue, and I have to get it fixed by Monday!!! *Sigh*

Maintenance...maintenance

Here I am, back in office, again. Same thing every month, because the other guy who is supposed to rotate this weekend's work went on holiday.

I just don't quite understand why I have to do this every month, restart of the servers? Need to? Really? I think this is really a mis-use of man-power.

I hope for the next maintenance cycle, the other guy will be back, and not me again. He has a life, I have one too!
