Problem of timeout to PSP

[JaKo8103]

I used check_download_ptf_group.yml Now in 90% I have a problem of:

"fix_group_check_result": { "changed": false, "count": 1, "elapsed_time": "0:00:10.165574", "end": "2024-04-16 12:31:36.604073", "failed": false, "group_info": [ { "error": "The read operation timed out", "url": "https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-group-ptfs-level" } ], "http_agent": "ansible/ibm.power_ibmi", "rc": 0, "start": "2024-04-16 12:31:26.438499", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "timeout": 10, "validate_certs": true

I see in role we used

• name: Check and get the latest PTF group information on PSP ibm.power_ibmi.ibmi_fix_group_check: groups: '{{ ptf_group }}' register: fix_group_check_result

In ibmi_fix_group_check.py is option timeout

timeout: description:

• Timeout in seconds for URL request. type: int default: 10 required: false

Where and how to add in check_download_ptf_group.yml more timeout to check site whit PSP ?

Yes, I've noticed that it is taking longer at least in the past week with fix check, so 10 seconds is insufficient a lot of the time. Ideally we would figure out why the web server is taking longer and that would be fixed, but I may need to bump up the default for now to get around this in the 2 fix check modules. Longer term it would probably be nice to have the roles that call ibmi_fix_check and ibmi_fix_group_check modules be able to specify a timeout (optional parameter).

In regard to your playbook, you can certainly specify a different timeout parameter for the fix check module doing something like the following:

- name: Task query_a_single_group
  ibm.power_ibmi.ibmi_fix_group_check:
    groups:
      - "SF99713"
    timeout: 30

Rob I use GALAXY so I can't change it manually. You can change these two modules (timeout=60) in gjertsen-patch-fix-check

[JaKo8103]

Add info: ibmi_fix_group_check have a old site: "error": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "url": "https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/uid/nas4SF99713" I work in galaxy that I not have permission to change a script python.

Yes, I may do a minor update to include the fix for recent PSP breakage and then add in longer default timeout to those modules. I have noticed this week that it is failing at least 50% of the time with 10 second timeout, which I hadn't seen before. Possible this is related to recent PSP web page updates.

When can we expect your correction?

[robgjertsen1]

I will try to get an update out next week.

Hi , we have the same problem and waiting also the correction , thks Rob for your support

[robgjertsen1]

Fixed with 2.0.2. I have changed the timeout to a 60 second default.
