RE: FW: SmartFrog Question

Hi Bithika,

 

In a little more detail - if you are using the sfStart command, as in
 
   sfStart host name desscription
 
or some equivalent, the name has to be unique on the node selected. If
not, you get the non-replaceable attribute exception; the reference to
the application is held as an attribute in the host's ProcessCompound
component (the daemon, if you wish) - and attributes (in any component)
that refer to running components  may not be remapped to other values by
simply doing a replacement command (to stop accidentally losing contact
with applications).
 
When your application terminates, the attribute is removed from the
ProcessCompound - so you can reuse the name again. 
 
Its one of those "signature" exceptions where the excpetion message is
not particularly useful in itself, but those who know the system
instantly recognize the cause.

	Hi Bithika,

	 

	I am not sure about what you mean with "process_name".  I guess
that you mean the name used to start a SmartFrog description file. This
name is the name that will be used to register the new
application/system into the SmartFrog daemon and it has to be unique. 

	 

	When you try to deploy two descriptions with the same name the
daemon will fail reporting that the name is already used. In you case,
what is possibly happening is that after a while the deployed
description terminates completely and cleans up, and that is why you can
deploy the same description with the same name again without any
problem.

	 

	Which example or description file were you using?

	 

	Regards,

	 

	            Julio

	Hi,

	 

	I am facing the following problem while executing a SmartFrog
description file (that comes with your distribution package).

	 

	"Compound has a non-replacable attribute <process_name>".
However if I execute the same file with a different process name it
works fine. Also, if I execute the file with the same process name after
a while, it works fine.

	 

	I fail to understand the reason. Any help would be appreciated.

	 

	Bithika
