Tuning and Troubleshooting OVO
Solving Runtime Problems on All Managed Nodes

Problem D
When any kind of application is started (Window (Input/Output),
Window (Output Only), No Window) the calling user’s profile is
executed. If the overall execution takes more than 2 seconds, or if the
execution completes before anything is written to standard output, OVO
assumes that an error has occurred and the application startup is
terminated.
Solution D
Simplify the user’s profile so that it executes faster or writes more
information to standard output. Also, make sure that the user’s profile
does not prompt for specific input.
Problem E
The command path length (inclusive of parameters) is too long for an
application configured as having a Window (Input/Output). Only 70
characters are available for command path and resolved parameters
(such as $OPC_NODES).
Solution E
Do not specify the full command path. Put this path in the executing
user’s PATH variable. Avoid hard-coded parameters and only pass
dynamic parameters. Instead of calling the application with lots of
hard-coded parameters, use a script that internally calls the application
with the required parameters. Instead of configuring this application to
run in a Window (Input/Output), set this option to No Window, and
start an hpterm/xterm on that managed node.
