Compatibility between client and server

The ability of our customers to upgrade as painlessly as possible to a new MOMI release is important to us.

Our standard release migration recommendation is to upgrade the server first and the client second within a release series (i.e. 3.xx, 4.xx and 5.xx). When a release series changes, both the client and server must both be upgrade at the same time.

Please note: due to enhancements and bug fixes the oldest MOMI Client that will operate correctly with this server is 5.30. While older clients should connect and generally work, they may encounter disconnects or error messages when encountering corrected bugs.

Special Notes

The PC must be configured with at least 24 bit color for the client to operate fully with MOMI. A warning message is displayed at client startup if a lower color depth is detected. While the client will generally function correctly with a lower color depth, certain features are not available such as the a pop up window when the mouse is placed over the connector lines between systems on the screen SubSystems / Expand / Diagram.

NEW FEATURES / BUGS FIXED 
(see MOMI HISTORY.RTF for previous versions)

Common new features (requires current client and server)
If you are using Client Access, newly added screens in a MOMI release update are not available to users by default. This action may be changed on the screen Configure / Client Access / Global Settings by checking the option New screens enabled by default. The user that started MOMI, known as the “Default Security User” always has new screens enabled by default.  

Impacts in this version
None

MOMI Client
	New Screens: 	
·	None	

	New Features:
·	Active navigation tabs (i.e. where you are within the client) are now highlighted instead of showing a white background. This was changed as the newer Delphi version makes it hard to tell the difference between active and non-active tabs.
•	Systems / Probe
•	   	- Probe CPU charts popup for top process names now shows IPU 					number if available. (for Miguel P.)
•		-	'1-4 Systems' charts may now be displayed in 3D to show IPU					usage. (for Miguel P.)
•	   	-	2D/3D view set by right click on '1-4 Sys' button or 'Configure/Client/Single Screen/Probes'.
•	Systems / FTP 
•	   	-	When using SFTP to transfer from the PC to NSK the PC file type 		will be used to either set the default NSK FileCode to 101(for 			ASCII) or 0. if the PC file extension is a number
•				(i.e. file.100) the number will be used to set the default NSK 			FileCode (for Vikas K.)
•	Overview
•	- Added new items to Overview Process Popup labeled QTime to show 		Average $Receive Queue Time and Ready Time percent. 
•			(For Diana K.)
•	- 'CPU History' chart popup for top process names now shows IPU 			number if available. (for Miguel P.)
•	Processes / Top Processes
•	   - Added new sortable Column labeled QTime to show Average $Receive 		Queue Time. (For Diana K.)
•	   - Added new Column labeled RTime% to show AverageReady Time 						percent. (For Diana K.)
•	Processes / Process Detail
•	- Added new field on 'PE1' tab to display 'Ready time only' to 				show ready time waiting to execute only - no busy time.
•	Processes / Process Entity
•	- Added new column 'Ready time only' to show ready time waiting 			to execute only - no busy time.
•	Alarms / List / Alarm
•	- Added ability to search for alarms containing specified text in 		Alarm Name, Description or Entity the alarm is based on.
•			(For Tom S.)
•	Configure / Client / General
•	- Added Clock display format to allow clock at top of screen to 			display as 24hr format(default) or 12hr AM/PM format.  
•			(For Vikas K.)
•	
•		Bug Fixes:
•	·	All Grids
•	- Using the mouse wheel to scroll a grid up/down now moves the same direction as other windows programs such as Excel.  Fixed.
•	On the screen Configure / Client / General, if the user had changed the 'Export Character' 'String Define Char.' from a hardspace(the default) to a underscore(needed for multibyte character sets such as Chinese), the underscore was displayed on the screen as well as in the exported data.  Now the screen will not display the 'String Define Char.' and it will only be seen in the exported data.  Fixed.
•	Systems / FTP
•	- If user selected SFTP and tried to transfer an extremely large 			file the client would crash. Fixed.
•	- If user selected SFTP and tried to connect to a system that did 		not allow SFTP it could be difficult to then switch to FTP.  				Fixed.
•	- If user selected SFTP and downloaded a text file(101) the 						resulting file on the PC would not contain the correct line 				breaks.  Fixed.
•	- if a SFTP copy failed the progress popup would still be 							displayed. Fixed.
•	SubSystems / Files / Enscribe / View File
•	- If 'Allow Multi-Byte character Sets' was checked the program 				would still replace any character over <255> with a tilde(~). 			Fixed.
•	SubSystems / Logs / EMS EventBX / List-Import-Export
•	- In rare cases an invalid record could be created on Export that 		would cause the client to hang when that record was imported. 			Fixed.
•	SubSystems / OSS / VT100
•	- It was possible to try to connect even if a Host was not defined. Fixed.
•	
•	Misc. Items:
•	·	Processes / Top Processes
•	- changed Column order to make sure all sortable columns are 					visible reguardless of screen size.
•	SubSystems / Spooler / Jobs
•	   - Added a 'Log' button to toggle the display of the activity log.
•	   - The jobs activity log now shows the collector of the job a well 		as the Spooler and job number. (i.e. $SPLS.$S2.#1234)
•	   - When a file is copied the jobs activity log now shows both the 			new file and the original file.
•	Configure / Client Access / Global Settings and '.../ User Define'
•	- Changed FTP settings.  Now the FTP and SFTP protocols can be 				independently allowed/disabled from the FTP screen being 						displayed/hidden.
•	Added 'Display Language' to System Info file.
•	Restructured how 'CPU' states (up/down/not avail/etc.) are determined.
•	Converted to Delphi7.

 Known issues:
·	The SubSystems / Discovery screen is still under development and subject to change.  Comments are welcome!

MOMI Server
	New Features:
·	If the field Alarm Active label for the alarm EMS / User defined is blank the alarm text is now placed in the subject line of an email action.  Previously, a blank Active Alarm label resulted in the text “EMS Based event” being loaded by default.  

·	The alarm date in an email now has the format of yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm instead of mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm. The CONFMOMI keyword ALARM-EMAIL-DATEFORMAT-OLD restores the previous format if required. This is the alarm date inserted at the beginning of the alarm email and not the content of the email (which could come from variety of sources.

·	The server supports the fields QueueTime and ReadyTimeOnly for the screen Processes / Top Processes.  QueueTime is the $RECEIVE queue time and ReadyTimeOnly is a process ReadyTime – BusyTime.  This change insures that processes sorted by ReadyTimeOnly reflect only the amount of time a process was “ready only” by removing the busy time.  A very busy process always has a large value for ready time as it includes busy time.  The server also provides ReadyTimeOnly for the screen Processes / Process Detail.

·	Added alarms:

Process / Ready Time Only percent
Process / Ready Time percent

Bug Fixes:
·	Systems running 3,000 or more processes per processor now report correctly in the MOMI PC Client after initial MOMI startup or the restart of a MOMI CPU collector process.  Previously, CPUs with 3,000 or more processes might be delayed in displaying their individual data or in some cases not display. 

	Misc. Items:
·	An additional message is now logged if SNTP processing requires additional retries to obtain the current time from the NTP server.

·	Several memory block management routines have been optimized to decrease memory pool fragmentation, which may result in slightly improved overall performance. 

·	Performance was improved in History consolidation, which loads data into the HST02DB, HST03DB and HST04DB files.  File data is also packed tighter in each disk record in this files.

  Known issues:
·	The history files HST02DB, HST03DB and HST04DB have a limit of approximately 800,000 processes per time period. If this limit reached the history consolidate server will abend due to lack of memory.  The workaround is to not enable an HST04DB file which has a default period of 1 day.

CLIENT INSTALLATION NOTES

Installation of the PC client via the SETUP does not normally require administrative access for Windows XP. However, this is dependent on the security settings of the PC environment.

Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 have more restrictive settings and usually requires Administrator access for a successful installation. 

If Administrator access is not available, some other options that might work:

A.	install to a subdirectory other than C:\Program Files or perhaps to a shared directory.

B.	Choose Custom install and uncheck installation of the screen saver. This will prevent access to the \Windows subdirectory.

mini-MOMI

MOMI provides the ability to operate in a reduced functionality or "lite" mode.  This mode is automatic whenever MOMI is started without a password.  To install mini-MOMI, follow the installation instructions but omit a password in the CONFMOMI file.

Mini-MOMI will operate for 1-year from the version date of the NonStop server portion of the program.  The time remaining is displayed on the PC Client configuration screen.

Shops running mini-MOMI are encouraged to check our web site from time-to-time for new versions, updates or a mini-MOMI password.

While it is BlackWood's intention to provide mini-MOMI in future versions, BlackWood reserves the right to alter, limit or discontinue mini-MOMI in subsequent releases.

MULTIPLE PLATFORM SERVER SUPPORT

MOMI configuration files support S-Series, NonStop Integrity and NonStop Blades.  On the NonStop system, in the subvolume where MOMI is installed, the following object files are present:

   BWMOMI  - 32-bit TNS/R native (S-Series)
   BWMOMIi - 32-bit TNS/E native (Integrity & Blades)

The TACL obey files OBYCSQL, used to SQL/MP compile MOMI objects, and OBYMOMI, used to start the MOMI subsystem, automatically select the proper object file to invoke.

FIRST INSTALLATION
UPDATE AN EXISTING INSTALLATION

If you are installing MOMI for the first time, or updating an existing installation of MOMI, this section will walk you through the installation details using a utility called MOMIFTP.EXE.  This utility handles the details transferring MOMI files from the PC to the NonStop via FTP.

Installing MOMI software to the local PC usually requires Administrator access under Windows. Other functions such as copying software to the NonStop or to a shared server location may require other levels of security access.

1)	If you need MOMI software, download the latest version of MOMI from our web site.

2a) If you downloaded an EXE file:

a. double click on the downloaded file

2b) If you downloaded a ZIP file:

a. expand the ZIP file to an empty subdirectory on your PC

     b. double click on the file Launcher.exe

2c) If you have a MOMI CD:

a. double click on the file Launcher.exe

3)	Once the installation process starts your given the options to a) Install the MOMI Client, b) Install the MOMI Server files on NonStop Server, c) Copy MOMI client files to common server location, or d) View ReadMe file for MOMI. Select Install MOMI Client. Click though the initial and Welcome screen. Please read and accept the license agreement.

4)	Choose the location where the MOMI files on the PC are to be installed.

5)	The next screen selects the Setup Type. Choose "Complete Installation".

6)	Choose the name of the program group for shortcut on the Start menu (typically use the default).

7)	Click Next to begin the installation.  The installation may take some time if all help formats are installed.

8)	Check the box to Install Server Files and click finish.

9)	The program MomiFTP is automatically started and will perform the FTP transfer of files from the PC to the NonStop.

On the 1st Connect to NonStop page, fill in the Host Address (your NonStop IP address), User ID, password and initial Volume/Subvolume where the MOMI files are placed.  The User ID specified owns the files once the transfer takes place.  Press Connect. If the connection was successful, you will see a big green "Connected..." .

Press Next to advance the screen.

On the 2nd Select Vol/SubVol on NonStop screen shows a list of the files present in the selected location. Change the location if desired and press Change.

Press Next to advance the screen.

On the 3rd Select New Install or Update screen press Put Files on NonStop. The status boxes indicate the outcome of the transfer.

Press the Exit button to disconnect and stop the program.

10)	From a TACL terminal emulator, Logon with the User ID and password to operate $MOMI. Volume to the location where the MOMI files were placed.

11)	Edit the file OBYMOMI.  This is a TACL obey file used to start MOMI and provide initial configuration information. Page down to the section "set values below here". This marked portion of the obey file is the place to change initial startup values for MOMI.

Check the process names, CPU $MOMI operates in, priority and home terminal.   The default values are good for most systems.

12)	Edit the file CONFMOMI.  This edit file is used to set various MOMI parameters after start up.  Set the System-description and check the TCP/IP process name and port that MOMI will 'listen' on for PC client connections.

For mini-MOMI users, the above should be about the only item of concern.

For licensed MOMI users, add your MOMI password.  Also, define any history files desired.  MOMI will automatically create the history files in the location specified.

13)	SQL/MP compile MOMI (If you don't have SQL/MP, ignore this step):

From a TACL prompt: OBEY OBYCSQL

14) Create a Super Group helper program (the steps below omit logon to the super.* ID):

Purge BWSSG2

Rename BWSSG1, BWSSG2

Rename BWSSG, BWSSG1

FUP DUP BWMOMI, BWSSG, sourcedate			(BWMOMIi on TNS/E)

FUP GIVE BWSSG, <super.group>					 

FUP SECURE BWSSG, NGNG, PROGID

(The FUP DUP option of SOURCEDATE or SAVEALL must be used)

15)	Start MOMI:

    From a TACL prompt: OBEY OBYMOMI

    (wait at least 2 minutes before proceeding to the next step)

16)	On your PC, start the PC MOMI client (Start/ALL Programs/BlackWood Systems/MOMI_n.nn/MOMI).  The MOMI client will detect an initial start on the PC and will prompt for the TCP/IP address of the NonStop and port.  The port is defined in the CONFMOMI file and has a default of 2010.

Note that these instructions may reoccur in other portions of this document or provide optional installation methods.

RUNNING SSMOMI SCREEN SAVER AS A STAND ALONE PROGRAM

Some users have requested the ability to run the ssMOMI screen saver as a standalone program that does not stop when the screen is clicked or the keyboard is pressed.

To run ssMOMI as a standalone program:

1)	Copy the MOMI screen saver ssMOMI.scr giving it the name ssMOMI.exe.

2)	Start the program as follows:

ssMOMI.EXE /c AsEXE

3)	A pop-up window displays.  Select the location of your MOMI.INI file.  By default this is located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\BlackWood Systems\MOMI

4)	After pressing OK, the screen saver appears.  Press X to close.

5)	Create a Shortcut with the Target as follows:

ssMOMI.EXE AsEXE

(path details to the EXE omitted)

The run-time param /c directs the program to display a pop-up window to configure the location of the MOMI.INI.  AsEXE directs the program to continue executing after keys are pressed (i.e. don’t function as a screen-saver).

MANUAL INSTALLATION OF NONSTOP BASED PROGRAMS

If the MOMIFTP utility cannot be used to transfer files from the PC to the NonStop server, these instructions provide a manual alternative.

1)	FTP (or IXF) files from the \NonStop subdirectory to the NonStop server. The \NonStop subdirectory is either from the expanded ZIP or the subdirectory where the MOMI client is installed on your PC if you chose the FULL or Custom option.

Note the binary/ASCII requirements.

a)	binary BWMOMI
b)	binary BWMOMIi
c)	binary EMSEXPO
d)	ASCII  FUPEVTCX
e)	ASCII  OBYMOMI
f)	ASCII  CONFMOMI
g)	ASCII  OBYCSQL
h)	ASCII  OBYALTER

2)	Logon to the NonStop server and volume to the location where the files were placed.  Use the TACL obey file OBYALTER to alter the file codes (or manually perform the steps below):

	a) FUP alter BWMOMI  ,code 700
	b) FUP alter BWMOMIi ,code 800
	c) FUP alter EMSEXPO ,code 845

3)	Edit the file OBYMOMI. Check the process name, CPU, priority and home terminal.

4)	Edit the file CONFMOMI.  Check the TCP/IP process and port that MOMI will listen on for PC client connections.

Mini-MOMI users do not need to change other items.

Licensed MOMI users need to add their MOMI password.  Additionally, define any history files and check other settings in the file.  Note that MOMI will automatically create the history files in the location specified.

5)	SQL compile MOMI:

OBEY OBYCSQL

6)	Start MOMI:

OBEY OBYMOMI

FUTURE PLANS (may or may not be in future releases)

		1) Disk History (on Integrity and later systems)
		2) CMON   
		3) Pathway information
		4) More history chart-able entities
		5) New functionality as requested by our users
		6) Additional Tools and References as we think of them
