- In this release the following has been fixed and
- enhanced: Autostart: It is now possible to configure
- modules that shall be loaded by the autostart mechanism.
- This because it is not certain that all application
- systems make use of the OTP boot script to set up paths
- to all Erlang modules. Runtime_tools/Inviso: A bug in the
- fetch_log functionality has been fixed. Further a bug
- that was (supposedly) fixed in a previous patch
- concerning meta-tracer write_ti has been fixed (again) in
- this patch. A bug in inviso_as_lib making remote
- autostart config file updates fail has been fixed.
- Inviso: inviso_tool has been given a flush API.</p>

- <p>
- The following bugs/improvements have been done: Internal
- interworking between inviso_rt and inviso_rt_meta. The
- call function used by inviso_rt to call inviso_rt_meta is
- now protected with a monitor. Inviso_rt_meta now includes
- the timestamp of the incoming meta trace message when
- calling the call-callback. (Makes it possible to add a
- "better" timestamp to the ti-file.) Bug in inviso_tool
- making it not remove trace patterns when terminating. Bug
- in internal function h_start_session making inviso_tool
- crash if there were no active nodes to start the session
- on. The user-inviso_tool and inviso API-inviso control
- component request/response gen_server protocols had
- default time-out. Since many trace operations can be time
- consuming, a longer time-out is necessary. Improved
- overload protection. It is now possible to let the
- overload protection renew itself (e.g after an exit from
- an external overload protector). Inviso_rt_meta now fully
- uses the exception_trace match spec action term. Run
- Trace Case API (as in contrast to activate and deactivate
- trace case APIs) in inviso_tool. Flush trace-port API
- added to inviso. Get_session_data API added to
- inviso_tool. Improved inviso_tool:stop making it possible
- to name nodes which shall not have their trace patterns
- removed when inviso_tool terminates. Bug in handling of
- writing multiple ti-entries if returned from a
- call/return_from call-back in inviso_rt_meta Process
- trace flags are no longer explicitly removed by the
- inviso_tool when it terminates. Not necessary.
- Inviso_tool get_autostart_data adopted to standard
- autostarter.</p>
- <p>
- *** INCOMPATIBILITY with Meta trace call-backs are called
- with different arguments now. ***</p>

-
- <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
- <list>
- <item>
- <p>
- A bug in inviso_rt_meta caused an ETS table containing
- information on initiated (init_tpm) functions to be lost
- when suspending tracing. Further an enhancement to
- inviso_rt has been introduced making it possible to
- activate process trace flags based on globally registered
- names. It is then not an error to activate a global name
- on a node where the name does not reside. The process
- count in the return value will simply be set to zero
- (hence exactly one node in the NodeResult part of the
- return value will indicate one matching process found). A
- bug was found in fetch_log API. At the same time the
- fetch_log functionality was enhanced to also offer flow
- control making fetcher processes send chunks of
- transferred file data at a slower pace.</p>

- This ticket includes several improvements and bugfixes to
- both runtime_tools and inviso. The overload mechanism can
- now also react to incoming messages. This is useful if
- an external overload watch-dog is used. Some improvements
- of variable bindings has been done to the default
- autostart mechanism - inviso_autostart_server. Autostart
- "jobs" can now be done in parallel, allowing for some
- jobs to hang waiting for some parts of the traced system
- to become ready before proceeding. Previously when using
- named meta-match-specs (tpm_ms) ending up with zero
- match-specs still kept the meta trace pattern active.
- This caused zero match-specs to be equal to unlimited
- meta tracing on that particular function. If the internal
- database becomes empty of meta match specs, meta trace
- pattern is removed for that function. Standard public
- loop data in the inviso runtime meta tracer process is
- now extended to a 2-tuple. The functions ctp/1 and ctpl/1
- are added making it possible to remove trace patterns for
- a list of functions rather than one by one.
- Inviso_rt_meta will now accept a list of binaries to be
- output into the trace information file, in additions to a
- single binary. Further it is also possible to make own
- output to the trace information file using the write_ti/1
- function. An error was discovered in inviso_rt making the
- inviso_rt_meta remain rather than terminate if the
- inviso_rt terminated due to "running alone" (not allowed
- to run without a control component). A new tool,
- inviso_tool, has been added to the inviso application.</p>
