TDS Stage is now pointing to ermtst8i. This is an Oracle 8 version of the TAGG/ERMS database, current as of last Friday. Only the FT-West, GD-West, and FT-Denver desks are active. So far, everything seems to be working (nothing's blown up). As far as I know, no curves have been loaded into the curve cache. The current plan is to migrate to Oracle 8i in 2 weeks, so now's the time to find problems.

< Subject: Oracle 8i test
<
< I received this message Wednesday afternoon:
<
< "TAGG/ERMS is migrating to Oracle 8i on June 16, 2001.
< Please test your production code on ermtst8i."
<
< and yesterday:
<
< The TAGG/ERMS DBA will refresh ermtst8i this weekend,
< starting from 8 a.m. Saturday, June 2 (it'll take about 20-24 hours).
<
< In preparation for the testing, I copied the latest binaries
< from nahou-aptds01t to nahou-aptds02t. This is the server
< machine that we will use to perform the Oracle 8i testing. I
< modified the local.env file and the appropriate start-up
< scripts to crank up the server processes.
<
< Here is an environment file which can be used on the local
< desktops to communicate with the 8i test machine. We will use
< the database ermtst8i and TIBCO port 7555 for the test.
<
< << File: 7555.env <<
< The server start-up script starts View Aggregators for
< FT-West, GD-West, and FT-Denver and one roll-up aggregator
< for ALL-WEST. Once the database refresh is done this weekend
< I recommend that Trac uses the DeskBookAdmin tool to remove
< the other desks from the ALL-West roll-up. Be sure that you
< are pointing to the right database instance!
<
< Other tasks that need to be done:
< * Check the View Aggregator log file to be sure that the
< database load process has worked. Right now, because the
< field Index_Based_Deal_Flag does not existing
< egs_sensitivities, DBExceptions are being raised and
< written to the log files.
< * Run Launchpad, Position Manager, DealTicker, and
< TradeBlotter to make sure that they are all working
< correctly. Save some new deals using TradeBlotter and see
< the changes and highlighting in real-time views.
< * Run TDSPosnLoad to force a reload of at least one of the
< aggregators.
< * Run Curve Manager. Publish some curves and save them to the
< database.
< * Validate that the caches are working correctly.
< * Check out that the various utility programs like
< DeskSecurity, DeskBookAdmin, etc all work correctly.
< * Check that Hawk works, especially the DBInfo agent. I
< believe that is the only one that accesses the database,
< but I'm not sure.
<
< Mike will be the central point of contact for any problems
< discovered. Please let him know if you encounter issues or
< have questions.
<
< This is just my idea for general test plan. Feel free to add
< items that I may not have thought about. I believe that the
< entire test should not take more than two to three hours, but
< let's do our best to make sure that the migration will not
< have any negative effects on TDS.
