Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Using the Agent prompt --update command resulted in a delay. The update action did not occur until several minutes after the --update command was executed. The --update command has been replaced with an Update Agent operation. The update operation is executed immediately on the remote agent.

Description Larry O'Leary 2014-07-29 23:14:50 UTC
Description of problem:
If a user invoked the agent prompt command:

    update --update

from the RHQ Agent resource's _Execute Prompt Command_ operation, the command is delayed by 299 seconds:

...


In the above log excerpt it is clear to see what the issue is. The OperationManager thread is still waiting for the operation to finish. Therefore, it won't shutdown when the agent has asked it to so that the update could proceed. Instead, the agent update thread waits for 299 seconds and then interrupts the thread. Thus, allowing the agent update to proceed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and start JBoss ON 3.2 system.
2. Install remote agent.
3. Import remote RHQ Agent resource into inventory.
4. Apply 3.2.2 to RHQ_SERVER_HOME.
5. Start JBoss ON server.
6. From UI, invoke remote RHQ Agent's _Execute Prompt Command_ operation with the following _Command_ argument:

       update --update

Actual results:
Remote agent does not get updated until over 5 minutes later.

Expected results:
Remote agent should be updated right away.

Additional info:
Perhaps the easiest solution for this is to add a new RHQ Agent operation that exposes the same/similar agent prompt command as a standalone operation that can return fast? This allowing the operation manager to shutdown right away instead of waiting?

There are some other (non-prompt-command) ops that workaround this problem.  A new op may help get around this, assigning to Mazz, he knows about this stuff.

    BZ 1124619 - provide more responsiveness when you want to ask an agent to update itself from the GUI

this needs to be cherry picked

Comment 3 John Mazzitelli 2014-09-08 20:08:41 UTC
what this now does is provide an actual operation named "Update Agent" - you execute this operation to ask the agent to update itself. You no longer have to go through the "update" prompt command via "Execute Prompt Command" to do this.

Comment 4 John Mazzitelli 2014-09-09 14:14:12 UTC
stefan cherry picked to 3.3. branch: abb016f51c23896f450eeca7acaa78a435f0a5da

Comment 5 Simeon Pinder 2014-09-17 02:49:00 UTC
Moving to ON_QA as available for test with the following brew build:
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com//buildinfo?buildID=385149

Comment 6 Sunil Kondkar 2014-09-18 11:43:13 UTC
Verified on version : 3.3.0.ER03 build Number :4aefe39:44e33a4

The agent resource displays 'Update Agent' operation in the drop-down. The operation is executed immediately on the remote agent with success status.
