COB Testing - Queue Pop Documentation

Name

queue_pop

Synopsis

 queue_pop -status
 queue_pop -accept
 queue_pop -trans_log
 queue_pop -help

Description

wing initial infrastructure COB testing, it was noted that the SAN BAU team was responsible for a noteable delay in the time taken to failover applications. On inspection, it was agreed that this was attributed to a number of factors, one of which being the effective use of resources within the BAU team.

E-mail was found to be an unsuitable medium when queuing requests, as multiple administrators are working concurrently, which resulted in more than 1 administrator attempting to service the same request.

In answer to this, I have implemented a simple software queuing system, which can be accessed concurrently. This queuing system should contain a time-stamping mechanism to ensure that any SRDF operations performed within the team are recorded.

Queue_pop is a small perl script which allows information to be removed from a work queue.

Commands

-accept

Accept an item of SRDF work from the work queue.

-status

Shows the current status of the work queue

-trans_log

Shows the current status of the transaction log.

-help

Displays the help page.
