    Problem Report Number 1148
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Rejected (REJ)

    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.1.1
    Test Identification base/bsd_signal 3
    Problem Summary PG4U.00121 This IR claims that the test fails because VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE cannot be set.
    Problem Text
    The configuration variable VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE is omitted
    from tetexec.cfg in VSU4.1.1, which is causing bsd_signal #3
    to fail on our system. We are not able to configure our system
    to allow this assertion to run long enough to pass for us... In
    our official branding runs submitted for OS/390 V1R2 which used
    VSU4.1.0, this assertion ran for approximately 34 minutes
    (14:39:53 to 15:13:25) before passing. If I modify the VSU4.1.1
    assertion to allow it to run that long (I just increased the defined
    constant bsd_signal_TIMEOUT), it also passes on OS/390 V1R3.

    bsd_signal #3 is not the only assertion that references this
    configuration variaible. Because of the way the assertions are
    coded this omission does not cause a failure, but merely causes
    the value of performance to be left at 1:


    long performance = 1;

    if((ascii_performance = tet_getvar("VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE")) !=NULL)
    {
    performance = atol(ascii_performance);
    }

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    Our opinon differs.

    The submitter is correct, VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE is not included
    in tetexec.cfg. It was always our intent that users be allowed
    to modify this variable, but we originally decided to leave its'
    use undocumented.

    We suggest the submitter add VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE to the IUT's
    tetexec.cfg file and increase its value from 1 to the smallest
    integer value required to avoid the timeout in this test.

    The use of VSU_MACHINE_PERFORMANCE will be documented in the next
    VSU release.
