November Rain

十七年前的十一月雨，是場磅礡大雨，震撼了無數人的心。

昨天的台北板橋，也有場遲來的十一月雨，卻是滋潤了無數人的心。

因起執著

青山原不老，為雪白頭；綠水本無憂，因風縐面。

-- 明朝李義甫年幼時隨塾師郊遊。
-- 時值冬末春初，遠山山頂尚餘積雪，老師即景出了一句「青山原不老，為雪白頭」。
-- 李義甫俯視池水，靈機一動，就對上了「綠水本無憂，因風皺面」。

因起執著，放下淡然。

藍天

高雄的天，總覺得比臺北要來得藍，即便這裡是工廠林立，又有著廢氣污染，當抬頭仰望的時候，卻常常可以看到那萬里無雲的天空有著極鮮豔的藍。

戴立忍執導的《不能沒有你》，全劇以黑白灰階的色彩拍攝，便是不願讓豔麗的色彩干擾了想傳達的故事。或是這是一種電影拍攝的手法，但也顯露出南台灣有著獨特的美麗色調。

也或許，遮蔽藍天的，並非外在因素，而是內心所阻隔的層層關卡。聽著阿妹唱的歌，相信「越過了重重的心牆，有一整片的藍天﹍」

所學何事

上個禮拜天，皮姊來電話，說玲姊要問我些中學化學的問題，電話就換人講了。老實說，我也搞不清楚這到底是國中還是高中的化學。只記得問了下列幾個問題：
1. 一模耳的氧原子的重量還是質量之類的。
2. 一模耳碳分子的瞎米跟瞎米。(完蛋﹍連題目都不清楚了﹍)
3. 過錳酸鉀出現了，但是我忘了是問啥。

馬的，腦袋一片空白，上網查了些資料，勉強地把答案給了出去，但是自己馬上又忘了。

玲姊的兒子正在念這化學課程，在指導小孩的同時，她想看看她的理解跟想法對不對，也驗證一下自己的記憶。給了答案，我也開玩笑地說，以我二十年來的經驗，這些東西在往後的人生當中，除了應付考試，一直都用不到，所以她也不忘順便跟他兒子提醒說：「舅舅說念這個沒用，以後都用不到。」

我想，最後這一句，姪子應該會很同意我說出他心坎裡的話了。

人。不理性。

午後的街

年節尾某日的午後，由頂樓往下望，遠處的煙囪仍舊佇立在那，曾是車水馬龍的街，卻是蕭瑟不少。

人氣，似乎有在春節假期中增加不少，不過隨著假期進入尾聲，大夥收假上班，街道上的吆喝聲也逐漸沈寂下來。

轉眼九天就過了，好快，雖然不想上班已經不是一天兩天的事，不過人啊，還是得面對現實，哈。

過年。味道

大年初五，該是迎財神、開工的日子。

總是覺得越是進步的現在，懷舊的氛圍越是濃厚，但是年味一年不如一年，卻是顯而易見。

或許，人們想的是過往的美好，而非是繁瑣的過去吧。

半夜不睡覺

前幾天，半夜起來 debugging。想記錄點什麼，不過同事的 mail 中報告得更詳細，就先擋著先吧。

Subject: globalcm upgrade from 3.5 to 5.0 process


Dear All

The following is what we did during the 1/19 and 1/20

1. 2009/1/19 around 10pm
來恩 gave me a call saying that the upgrade process failed for some reasons after we try to modify TMCM's schema.xml (since there are 3 columns missing from the DB). The upgrade process is not able to run some store procedure. Then 來恩 asked me to join his WebEx

2. From IIS settings I found that there was SSL port missing on the configuration, therefore I set it to port 443 then reinstalled the TMCM 5.0. The reinstall process went well until it reached the set folder permission (WebUI).

3. 來恩 then asked Ferdy's help to compare the good TMCM's folder setting with the globalcm machine. During the process, I was not able to monitor what 來恩 was modifying.

4. After the folder permissions had been set, the reinstall process didn't get finished and stucked at the end (setup.exe). I then checked the ccgi_install.log and noticed that ccgi was not reinstalled properly. I manually removed CCGI componenet and installed CCGI by silent install script.

5. We then run the reinstall TMCM again, and finally we saw the completion screen of TMCM installation. After trying to logon to the TMCM console, it displayed the CCGI 400 error.

6. I just did a quick check of all TMCM 3 services and 8 exe files which are all intact. At this point in time, I really had no idea why CCGI didn't work. I also checked all registry hive related to the CCGI and found one which couldn't be opened or deleted. I then called 雞米's (another QA) help around (3:00am). He then joined the WebEx session as well and took a close look the services and exes. He suggested that we could restart the OS. After rebooting the machine, that locked registry entry was gone. Then reinstalling the TMCM, we had reached the final stage of TMCM installation completion. However, we still had CCGI problems (cannot reach apphost). 雞米 also found that one of process was keep doing this behavior: dying and starting until it went timeout stage (MsgReceiever.exe). I also noticed that when MsgReceiever.exe die, Dr. Watson created dump.

7. In the morning, 雞米 and I went to office and tried to collect all debug logs and core dump and sent them to RD to analyze them.

8. Afternoon, RD (伊森) was analyzing the core dump. QA (亞當 and 雞米) were trying to install TMCM 5.0 by backing up the original DB and all product profiles. Around 1/20/2009 3:15pm, RD found the possible root cause from the core dump: since we had TMIC registered as one of the TMCM entity. TMIC registered a plugin to TMCM's MsgReceiever.exe (configured in InterceptorHandler.xml). I then backuped the file "InterceptorHandler.xml" to "InterceptorHandler-Backup.xml". And the plug-in "TMICPlugin4CM35.dll" is for TMCM version 3.5 not for 5.0, TMCM couldn't recognize 3.5 plug-in, TMIC team needs to provide a 5.0 build to be able to register to TMCM.

9. In the meantime, the original DB was backuped and so did the product profiles. I remarked the plugin name from the "InterceptorHandler.xml" and restarted the SQL server then all 3 TMCM services. Aafter several logon to TMCM console there was no CCGI error but waited a while, and re-logon to the console, CCGI error appeared again.
=> It seemed that MsgReciever.exe was still having the problem. I then turned on the debug log and collected MsgReceiever related logs and core dump for RD to alalyze the log.
RD (伊森) analyzed the log and core dump, and found the root cause.
=> If the templog is big enough, TMCM will write it to the file and then do the parsing, if at this moment debuglog is turned on and is writing to the debug log file, MsgReceiever will crash.
=> We just found a bug (I will fire a track for it along with the TMIC handler hooked to the MsgReceiever problem when upgrade 3.5 to 5.0)


In the meantime (around 5:00pm), 雞米 and I were backing up the old DB and started to restore the TMCM back online.

1. When we installed the TMCM 5.0, we choosed the re-use DB option in order to use the old DB, for some reasons the installer did not recognize the old installation cmkeybackup folder. The installer always came back to the DB selection. We could not continue to re-use the DB.

2. We then needed to use the really-really manual way to restore the DB back.
=> Install brand new TMCM 5.0, detach the DB, attach the old DB, restore the old profiles, and then merge all necessary xml files for use.

(Around 9:00pm) restart TMCM services and logon to TMCM console => no CCGI error


cheers

今天。天氣晴

這兩天，天氣真好。在著實冷了一整個禮拜後，露臉的太陽很是叫人開心，雖然吹到風還是冷，不過曬著太陽吹吹風，冷得很舒服。

打從去年九月返家之後，絲毫不曾來新增點東西。轉眼間，過了耶誕、元旦，農曆年也將來到，好快。生活又是一個轉折與開始。
