Relevance substitution evaluation strangeness

rkorinek · March 5, 2015, 10:21pm

Even if your parameter is not in a prefectch block the evaluation should be the same. Have you posted the result of the command from the client log?

rkorinek · March 5, 2015, 10:24pm

On another note from your question about exit codes, you should use the below or you might get an error at compile time.

((not active of it) OR (exist code of it != 0)) of action

JasonWalker · March 6, 2015, 3:33am

That’s a very good catch, especially since @cstoneba just mentioned that there’s a prefetch/download command. It reminds me of a problem I had periodically. Here’s my understanding of it…

When an action is taken, the client will first check for downloads/prefetch. If there is a prefetch block, the client will evaluate only that block; if there is no prefetch block, the client evaluates all relevance statements within the script (mind you, this is before any of the action script executes).

The result is that if your relevance evaluates anything that doesn’t exist (yet), then you will get an evaluation error. As @rkorinek illustrates, at this point “active of action” would give a False, and “exit code of action” would give an error. Where this often comes up is where ActionScript is creating a file, appending lines to it, and then later in the action evaluates something from the file (that won’t exist until the action executes). If the Relevance doesn’t check for file existence, it will give an evaluate error during the preprocessing, before any line of the action actually executes.

There are some conditions that lead to this “preprocessing” behavior. I think I once had an actionscript that worked fine, until I added a prefetch line to it (without a prefetch block). It seems that the existence of a prefetch command triggered the processing and caused a totally unrelated relevance substitution later in the script to fail.

I’m sure it’s long fixed by now, but I seem to recall that when that condition occurred, the log didn’t even show the error on the correct line, or when the fixlet was in a baseline it marked a relevance substitution error on the wrong baseline component or something along those lines.

Short version, if you’re using a prefetch, be sure to include the whole prefetch block.

cstoneba · March 6, 2015, 3:57pm

JasonWalker, I think you’re right on. Due to the new line in my task where I use prefetch (and not a prefetch block, but just a single 1 line prefect command), the actionscript is being evaluated before the action starts, which is different than my previous task version.

What still makes no sense is why the parameter fails on .7% of the targeted clients, but it works fine in QnA:

Failed parameter "slash"="{(if (name of operating system as lowercase contains "win") then "\" else "/")}" 


q: (if (name of operating system as lowercase contains "win") then "\" else "/")
A: \
T: 27.693 ms
I: singular string

UPDATE**
Well this is new to me, anyone know why the log is saying that a parameter is already defined when the parameter is line1 of the task?

AlanM · March 6, 2015, 7:15pm

It states that the name “slash” is already in use in this action. You can only use it once in the whole action as we don’t have “scopes” like other languages

cstoneba · March 6, 2015, 7:24pm

right, i know you can only have 1 parameter set with the same name, but I’m only setting the parameter “slash” once. Could it be seeing the parameter from a different running action?

AlanM · March 6, 2015, 7:50pm

No, each action has its own table built at the start of the action processing.

JasonWalker · March 7, 2015, 12:37am

Look closer; the log says the parameter may NOT be defined.

The Parameter won’t be defined until the action executes; so during the prefetch evaluation you may get an error on the relevance substitution that tries to use the (not-defined) parameter.

JasonWalker · March 7, 2015, 12:40am

Also, the line “action signature verified for downloads” makes me think we are in the right area - that it’s still doing download evaluation, pre-execution.

That’s fun to debug, since you won’t see what line is flagging an error.

Use a prefetch block, or wrap the rest of the action in an
if {active of action} block.

AlanM · March 7, 2015, 3:04am

This error means the parameter is already defined. The parameters are defined at the first time the code parses the actionscript which in this case is during the download phase. Parameters are only defined once, not during execution.

JasonWalker · March 9, 2015, 2:46pm

Maybe the log message varies by BES version? Here’s what I get when I redefine an existing parameter:

cstoneba · March 9, 2015, 6:54pm

JasonWalker - do you have a download/prefetch in your test script above, so it evaluates before executing?

AlanM · March 9, 2015, 11:51pm

It often does. We refine it as people get confused by it.

Your message definitely still exists as the agent tries to add a parameter during execution. The error message mentioned is in the Download evaluation of the actionscript though

cstoneba · March 10, 2015, 2:49pm

So AlanM, if the IEM client does not carry over parameters from action to action, why would the client say “Parameter may not already be defined” when it is defined in line1 of the actionscript?

jmaple · March 10, 2015, 7:29pm

Could it be that it’s because your parameter is written within an if statement that is evaluating to false and not getting defined?

Note: I ask because in your snippet above it is written within the if statement.

cstoneba · March 10, 2015, 7:37pm

if that was true, I’d expect it to fail on all targets, not a subset of them.

jmaple · March 10, 2015, 7:54pm

I guess that means there are issues with defining it outside the statement?

I understand everything should be coming up roses but the errors indicate the value is not being defined. I can’t think of any other reason but that it’s evaluating to false and moving on without it.

cstoneba · March 10, 2015, 7:56pm

here’s a scrubbed version of the script that is failing. if you place a file on your relay in …/wwwrootbes/SMSync/by_name/, the the majority of the task should work.

Parameters can be defined outside of the ActionScript body in headers of the action. There are some standards that are used there like this one as an example:

action-parameter: "action issue date"="Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:54:11 +0000"

This means you can’t define “action issue date” as a parameter in any action as its already there.

You might try to use a more unique name?

cstoneba · March 13, 2015, 4:20pm

If there was a parameter used in the heads of the action called “slash”, I would expect it to error on all targets, not just some. It seems like when I push the task directly to a client that out before, it works, but then when I push the task again as a policy action to > Dynamically target by property > All Computers, they error again (currently 55 of 16,000). And as time goes on and the action reapplies every 2 hours, the count goes from 55 to 2,000+.

I did move the parameter “slash” line down to right above the first reference to the “slash” parameter, but that didn’t seem to change anything.
