Hi! Is there a way to have a ZOPE method (called, for example, via a TALES expression) time out after a specific (changeable!) amount of time? TIA, Ole

2.5.1 to 2.8.0
by Tim Suter 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

I have a Zope install 2.5.1 that I am wanting to migrate to another box that has 2.8.0. After the 2.8.0 install I import the .zexp's and copy the data.fs file from the old var to the new. This never goes successfully as I get the following when pointing to localhost:8080/manage and after I authenticate: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: getItem Can anyone let me know what I might be doing wrong? I have stopped and restarted zope after making the changes. Thanks, Tim

RE: [Zope] Debugging a python routine

Well, I guess that you want to debug here.lib.parse_file() as the rest is quiet obvious... If "parse_file" is a PythonScript, you can test it from the ZMI, and you should get a stack trace if an exception is raised.

Removing old FileStorage backups from repozo
by Felix Ulrich-Oltean 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi I'm using the repozo.py script to back up some large FileStorages, as outlined in: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FileStorageBackup I need to clear out old backups regularly, as there are several storages which are packed every night, and so there are lots of ~2G backups files around for every day. Can I just go in and delete files older than X days from the backup directory, or will this upset repozo, which apparently keeps info about its backup files in the .dat file? Thanks, Felix.

I use a Script Python that writes to a ZPT. It first reads the ZPT then appends new info; first with a time stamp, container info, and the message. This works from other Script Python objects or ZPTs. It's quick and dirty; but, I've been able to use it for most of my debugging. There are other methods mentioned in any book on Zope that are more powerful. I'm sure you'll receive responses with those suggestions as well.

ANN: MailManager 2.0 rc2 & news from us
by Andrew Veitch 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

To keep traffic down I don't announce every MailManager release but 2.0 is a milestone for us. This is still very much a Zope product but with 2.0 we're now storing the mail in PostgreSQL (and shortly other RDBMs too) rather than the ZODB. We are still fans of the ZODB but for our particular use case (multi terabyte storage requirement and very heavy amounts of writing) we found that PostgreSQL performed better. We have now migrated our commercial customers to the 2.0 architecture so we are pretty happy with it. Our other news is that we received a small venture capital investment in the company last week. It's just a bit over $0.5 million and we're going to use it to work through the feature suggestions we've had. I would like to thank everyone who's helped us develop MM from going to the bother of submitting a bug report or suggesting a feature or doing a translation. There's more info about our company news here if you are interested: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/23/logicalware_vc/ http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/business.cfm?id=702472005 The final bit of news is that we've changed the name of the company from Logical Progression to Logicalware. It's a bit shorter and easier to type! Best regards Andrew -- Logicalware Ltd Stuart House, Eskmills, Station Road, Musselburgh EH21 7PQ, UK Tel +44 (0)131 273 5130 Web: http://www.logicalware.com/

Curious, - to save variables in this way, must a Folder property be used, or would a class variable set on something that extends Folder work the same? - why does temp_folder perform faster for this technique?

ZopeProfiler issue
by Pascal Peregrina 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi, In a previous mail, I was asking if anyone had issues with ZopeProfiler and Zope 2.8. I have made many more tests and my issue is completely unrelated with Zope 2.8 (I got the same issue with Zope 2.7.6) The issue has to deal with an XML-RPC call to a java service (using the standard xmlrpclib module). The code is (method of a class of my own): def query(self): from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy, loads, ProtocolError try: if self.protocol=='HTTP GET': self.result=loads(urlopen(self.url).read())[0][0] elif self.protocol=='XMLRPC': self.result=getattr(ServerProxy(self.url),self.rpc_method_expr)(*self.params ) except ProtocolError: self.result=None self.zeroconf_exception=1 self.log_exception() except SocketError: self.result=None self.zeroconf_exception=1 self.log_exception() except IOError: self.result=None self.zeroconf_exception=1 self.log_exception() except: self.result=None self.log_exception() This works fine with disabled profiler. However, when I enable the profiler, I get this error : Fault: <Fault 0: 'java.lang.Exception: RPC handler object "cat.getProducts" not found and no default handler registered\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.SelfDocumentingHandlerMapping.getHandler(Ljava.lang.String ;)Ljava.lang.Object;(Unknown Source)\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcWorker.execute(Ljava.io.InputStream;Lorg.apache.xmlr pc.XmlRpcContext;)[B(XmlRpcWorker.java:183)\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.DocXmlRpcServer.execute(Ljava.io.InputStream;Lorg.apache.x mlrpc.XmlRpcContext;)[B(Unknown Source)\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.DocXmlRpcServer.execute(Ljava.io.InputStream;Ljava.lang.St ring;Ljava.lang.String;)[B(Unknown Source)\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.DocXmlRpcWebServer$Connection.run()V(Unknown Source)\n\tat org.apache.xmlrpc.DocXmlRpcWebServer$Runner.run()V(Unknown Source)\n\tat java.lang.Thread.run()V(Optimized Method)\n\tat java.lang.Thread.startThreadFromVM(Ljava.lang.Thread;)V(Optimized Method)\n'> I can reproduce that error if I omit (*self.params) on that line : self.result=getattr(ServerProxy(self.url),self.rpc_method_expr)(*self.params ) But when I add some logging, self.params looks fine. Changing that line into : self.result=apply(getattr(ServerProxy(self.url),self.rpc_method_expr),self.p arams) Gives the same error. I also tried hardcoding the arguments, and I still get the same issue ! I don't know what to do, I really need to profile my Zope instance. So any suggestion would be highly appreciated... Thanks.
