This document is intended to provide a guide to usage of the Qorus Integration Engine system. For more detailed information on the system’s design, please see the System Reference Manual.
Common operational tasks are covered here, as well as common errors and some troubleshooting information.
Common tasks included:
Note that this manual does not cover performing common operational tasks from the Qorus Integration Engine Web UI; all tasks (aside from starting the system) can also be performed with the Qorus Web UI as well.
In addition to the topics above, database administration is a critical area that must be covered properly in order to ensure the correct operation of the system, in particular database free space (for example, the data and index tablespaces with Oracle and PostgreSQL installations) and transaction log space must be monitored closely, and all indexes must be kept current.
If indexes are invalidated for whatever reason, Qorus Integration Engine may deadlock (as row locks may be silently converted into table locks) or performance will suffer.
Database administration regarding basic tasks such as index maintenance and data deletion are documented in Database Maintenance And Administration, however detailed Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL database administration is beyond the scope of this manual; make sure a competent DBA is monitoring your system any time Qorus is used for business-critical process automation.
For all the commands in this section, the UNIX or Windows environment must be set up properly to run the qore binary and the Qorus system. For more information on these requirements, see Installation Guide.
All commands should be typed on a single line. Text in italics should be replaced with the appropriate value. Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets ([]),

In order for the system to perform properly, the system database must be properly maintained and administered. This is most important on Oracle, where maintaining up to date DB statistics and performing proper index maintenance can be critical to system performance.
Qorus Integration Engine includes some facilities for assisting DBAs with maintaining the database. These facilities are documented in this section.
On Oracle dataservers, indexes must be maintained; as data is changed or deleted from indexed tables, indexes become less efficient; the number of dead leaf nodes and the number of indirections grow, slowing down table accesses. When these parameters breach pre-defined maximum values; the indexes should be rebuilt.
Qorus has two different ways of analyzing and rebuilding Oracle indexes that need it: internally in the system, using the system.arch service, and from the command-line, using the schema-tool program.
Additionally, Qorus provides a facility for unconditionally rebuilding all indexes in a schema; for more information on this topic, see Unconditionally Rebuilding Indexes.
To analyze and rebuild indexes on the entire system schema in Oracle using schema-tool, execute the following command:
unixprompt% schema-tool -R
The thresholds by default are given in the following table:
| Criteria | Value |
| maximum index height | 3 |
| maximum percentage of deleted leaf nodes | 20% |
To override these values, use the –max-height and –max-leaf-pct options.
If either value is above the threshold, then the index will be rebuilt. The command used to rebuild the index is:
alter index [name] rebuild nologging compute statistics
Note that indexes in any Oracle schema can be analyzed and rebuilt, as long as the Oracle user has permission to do so. To analyze and rebuild indexes in another schema, pass the name of the datasource as an argument to the -R option; for example:
unixprompt% schema-tool -R=billing
Indexes in the system schema can be unconditionally rebuilt using schema-tool as follows:
unixprompt% schema-tool -F
To unconditionally rebuild indexes in another schema, pass the name of the datasource to the -F option as follows:
unixprompt% schema-tool -F=datasourcename
On Oracle, the list of indexes in the schema is acquired executing the following SQL (note that partitioned indexes are ignored):
select index_name, tablespace_name from user_indexes where partitioned = 'NO' and index_type != 'LOB'"
Then indexes are rebuilt with the following command:
alter index [name] rebuild nologging compute statistics
On PostgreSQL, the list of indexes is acquired by executing the following SQL:
SELECT c.relname as name
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_permissions r ON r.oid = c.relowner
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_index i ON i.indexrelid = c.oid
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class c2 ON i.indrelid = c2.oid
WHERE n.nspname <> 'pg_catalog'
AND n.nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
and r.rolname = 'schemaname' and c.relkind = 'i'
ORDER BYThen indexes are rebuilt with the following command:
reindex index [name]
On MySQL, indexes are rebuilt by using the "repair table" command. A list of tables is acquired by executing "show tables". Then indexes on each table are rebuild by executing the following command on each table:
repair table [name] quick
The schema-tool program can be used to gather statistics on Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases.
To gather statistics on the entire system schema, execute the following command:
unixprompt% schema-tool -S
Note that by giving a valid Qorus datasource name (defined in the Datasource Connections), you can analyze statistics on any datasource known to Qorus (as long as the user has the appropriate permissions); for example, to gather statistics on the schema defined by the datasource named billing, execute the following:
unixprompt% schema-tool -S=billing
For Oracle, the following SQL is executed:
begin dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname => 'schemaname', estimate_percent => 10, granularity => 'all', method_opt => 'for all columns size auto', degree => dbms_stats.default_degree, options => 'gather auto', cascade => true ); end;
For PostgreSQL, the following command is executed:
analyze
For MySQL, the following command is executed for each table in the schema (as determined by executing "show tables"):
analyze table [tablename]
To gather statistics on a particular table, in the system schema execute the following command:
unixprompt% schema-tool -T=tablename
To gather statistics on a particular table in another schema in a defined datasource, type the following:
unixprompt% schema-tool -T=datasourcename=tablename
For Oracle, the following SQL is executed:
begin dbms_stats.gather_table_stats (ownname => 'schemaname', tabname => 'tablename', partname => null, estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size, degree => 3, cascade => true); end;
For PostgreSQL, the following command is executed:
analyze [tablename]
For MySQL, the following command is executed:
analyze table [tablename]
See Arch system service.
In order to start the Qorus Integration Engine system, log in with a user account with write access to the Qorus log directory, with read access to the Qorus configuration files (normally the UNIX user qorus), and the UNIX environment configured as specified in the installation instructions, and enter the following at the command line:
unixprompt% qorus [option=value ...]
Output similar to the following should appear:

To stop the Qorus system, use qctl to send a stop message to the server.
The system shutdown process proceeds as follows: first, workflows are stopped, then jobs, then services are stopped and unloaded. Because interfaces must complete any current processing before stopping, there can be a delay between sending the stop message and the time the system is fully stopped.
To shut down the system, execute the following command-line to send this command to the server:
unixprompt% qctl stop
Output similar to the following should appear:

Sometimes a step in a workflow order data instance cannot reach a "COMPLETE" status for reasons outside of the control of the workflow, but the rest of the workflow should be executed anyway on the order data instance. In these cases, the PUT /api/latest/orders/{id}?action=skipStep REST API method must be called with the workflow instance ID, the step ID, and the step index (0 for non-array steps) as arguments. These methods will only update steps with an "ERROR", "RETRY", "ASYNC-WAITING", or "EVENT-WAITING" status. For example, see the following command line:
unixprompt% qrest put orders/<workflow_instanceid>/skipStep stepid=<stepid>,ind=<ind>,noretry=false

A live upgrade of a workflow entails updating a workflow definition for a workflow that has running execution instances.
To upgrade a workflow, the following steps must be taken:
Workflows should be delivered with their own installation scripts and instructions; in this case follow the instructions delivered with your workflow’s installation script to load the new configuration into the Qorus system schema and reset the cached workflow configuration.
In case the workflow’s configuration should be updated by hand, follow the following steps.
For instance, if EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.1 is being updated, the following command will load the new version of the workflow into the database and reset it in the live instance with the new configuration if it's currently running:
unixprompt% oload -lvR <file(s)>...
Any workflows running will load the new configuration of the workflow from the database and use it when the workflow is reset. In this way workflow logic can be upgraded without causing an interruption of service.
EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.1 to recover instances of EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.0. If a bug is found in EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.0 and a new version of the workflow must be released and instances of EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.0 should be recovered by the new version, then EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.0 should be loaded with a patched redefinition instead of creating EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.1.Error: Workflow is not Cached
ERROR: RESET-WORKFLOW-ERROR: workflow <name>/<id> is not currently cached
| Possible Cause | Action to Take |
| Workflow is not running | Normally installation scripts will specify that any updated workflows have their configurations reset, however if the workflow is not currently running, then it cannot be reset. In this case the error message can be ignored, because the workflow will run with the new configuration the next time it is run. |
Error: Communication, Authentication, and Environment Error
See Common Client Errors for more information. These errors could affect any network client, including Qorus command-line tools.
To check the overall status of processing of a workflow’s order data instances, there are several Qorus API methods that can be used. The oview program provides a user-friendly command-line interface to these methods.
For example, to see the overall status of EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.1 in the last 24 hours:
unixprompt% oview EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW:1.1
Assuming the workflow has been processing data in the last 24 hours, the output should look something like the following (the output has been truncated for formatting purposes):
READY INCOMPLETE ASYNC-WAIT... EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW 1.1 20 2 3...
If an error message appears, see the following section for causes.

To get detailed information on a single workflow order data instance’s status, there are several Qorus API methods that can be used. The oview program provides a user-friendly command-line interface to these methods.
For example, to see the detailed status of workflow order data instance ID 419649, with step and segment details:
unixprompt% oview w419649 -ssg
Assuming the workflow has been processing data in the last 24 hours, the output should look something like the following (the output has been truncated for formatting purposes):

Workflow configurations may need to be updated, for example, if a new configuration has been loaded into the database, or if a resource definition for a resource acquired during the workflow’s one-time-initialization is updated.
To reset a workflow’s cached configuration, the PUT /api/workflows/{id_or_name}?action=reset REST API method must be called as follows:
unixprompt% qrest put workflows/<name>/reset [version]
Output similar to the following should appear:
workflow <name>/<version> has been deleted from the cache
No error messages should appear. If an error message appears, see the following section for causes.
Error: Invalid Workflow

Each workflow instance (order instance) can contain unlimited notes. Operators can store additional info or reference to tracking systems etc.
Relevant REST APIs:
Notes are displayed in the user interface.
Use the qrest command to call a service method. Using this command, parameters can also be easily passed to the method as well. If the service is not already loaded, then it is loaded and initialized before the method is called.
The syntax is as follows:
unixprompt% qrest put services/<name>/<method>/call [args=...]
The command’s output is dependent on the service method being called.
If an error message appears, see the following section for causes.

Edit the System Options File file, and ensure a line appears as follows:
qorus.rbac-security: true
Then restart the server. To disable RBAC security, change "true" in the above line to "false", or comment out the line and restart the Qorus server.
"LOGIN" and "SHUTDOWN" permissionsEdit the System Options File file, and ensure a line appears for each host or ip range as follows:
qorus.rbac-force-user: <host|ip-range>=<user>
Then restart the server.
The user parameter must be set to a valid user; every unauthenticated connection from the given host or IP range will be made with the user given on the line. The qorus.rbac-force-user option may be given any number of times in the System Options File file.
IP ranges must be specified using ‘*’ as a wildcard as in the following examples:
qorus.rbac-force-user: 192.168.*=user qorus.rbac-force-user: 10.135.11.*=remote-user
Hostnames are given literally:
qorus.rbac-force-user: localhost=admin
Changes to the System Options File file only take effect when the Qorus server is restarted.
To list all users in Qorus, we use the user-tool program to do an offline listing (user-tool accesses the Qorus database directly and therefore can be used when the database is online but the Qorus server is offline).

In order for Qorus Integration Engine to process sensitive data, an HTTPS listener must be configured for Qorus, because sensitive data APIs are only usable from encrypted interfaces.
To configure an HTTPS listener, an X.509 certificate and private key must be generated; self-signed certificates may also be used if appropriate for your organization and use case.
An example command that can be used to generate a self-signed X.509 certificate with openssl 1.1.1+ with a validity period of 365 days and without a password for the private key with hostnames myhostname and myhostname.local and IP address 192.168.0.151 is as follows:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/CN=myhostname" -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:myhostname,DNS:myhostname.local,IP:192.168.0.151"
The HTTPS X.509 certificate file (in this example, "cert.pem") and the private key file ("key.pem") should be copied to $OMQ_DIR/etc and then can be configured in one of two ways:
cert and key option parameters)cert and key option parametersSystem Options File Examples:
# global X.509 cert and key on two HTTPS listeners qorus.http-secure-certificate: $OMQ_DIR/etc/cert.pem qorus.http-secure-private-key: $OMQ_DIR/etc/key.pem qorus.http-secure-server: 192.168.20.77:8085,192.168.99.124:18005
# Two HTTPS listeners with different certificates and keys
qorus.http-secure-server: 192.168.20.77:8085{cert=$OMQ_DIR/etc/cert1.pem;key=$OMQ_DIR/etc/key1.pem},192.168.99.124:18005{cert=$OMQ_DIR/etc/cert2.pem;key=$OMQ_DIR/etc/key2.pem}By default, only the superuser role has access to sensitive data APIs by default.
The following permissions need to be added appropriately to roles to allow users to view and manipulate sensitive data:
See the following sections for information on how to update roles:
Sensitive data can be purged automatically from the system by using the following options:
However, to keep sensitive data online for a longer period for operational reasons (for example, the CANCELED status is not always used as a final status by an organization but rather in some cases could be subject to uncanceling and further processing), then one or more of these options can be set to False and the qorus-sensitive-data job can be activated.
To activate the qorus-sensitive-data job, the PUT /api/latest/jobs/{id_or_name}?action=setActive REST API can be used as in the following example:
qrest put jobs/qorus-sensitive-data/setActive active=true
By default, this job is scheduled to run once a day at 3 a.m. and will delete sensitive data when the workflow order's modified date is at least 6 months in the past and the workflow order has a status of COMPLETE or CANCELED.
The behavior of this job can be modified by setting the following system properties:
qorus-sensitive-data.sensitive-data-cutoff-months: set to an integer number of months giving the minimum age of the dataqorus-sensitive-data.sensitive-data-purge-complete: set to False to prohibit purging of workflow orders with status COMPLETEqorus-sensitive-data.sensitive-data-purge-canceled: set to False to prohibit purging of workflow orders with status CANCELEDIt is possible to delete sensitive data from a workflow order regardless of its status by calling the DELETE /api/latest/orders?action=purgeSensitiveData API with the force option set to True by an authorized user with the DELETE-SENSITIVE-DATA or SENSITIVE-DATA-CONTROL permission. Note that in this case further processing of the workflow order may not be possible due to the missing data; use this option with great care.
These errors could affect any Qorus client program that communicates with the Qorus process using the HTTP interface.
Error: Connection Error
ERROR: Qorus server at "http://localhost:8001" is down
SOCKET-CONNECT-ERROR: error in connect() (target: localhost:8001): Connection refused: 111
| Possible Cause | Action to Take |
| The system is not running | Check the system's status (with the ps command on UNIX/Linux), if it’s already been shut down, then no further action need be taken |
| The client URL (hostname and/or port) is incorrect | Verify that the URL is correct and edit the System Options File file as needed. |
| The system is running but has not yet fully shut down. | If the system has already stopped the HTTP server, but has not yet exited, then this error could appear. Usually the system process will terminate within a few seconds after shutting down the HTTP server. If it does not, it could be because a running service refuses to stop. If the process does not terminate in a reasonable time after the HTTP server has stopped (the amount of time may vary if there are any user services loaded that take an unusually long time to stop), then the only option left is to kill the Qorus processes manually. If the session was not closed, then the next time the Qorus process is launched; the qorus.auto-recover option must be set to true. |
Error: Authentication Error
When Qorus Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) security is enabled, all network clients must provide a username and password to communicate with the server. All unauthenticated connections will be rejected by the server.
HTTP-CLIENT-RECEIVE-ERROR: HTTP status code 401 received: message: Unauthorized
| Possible Cause | Action to Take |
| Authentication information is missing in the HTTP request | Include a username and password in the request URL (i.e. http://user:pass@host:port) or, to allow unauthenticated connections from a certain host or IP address range, configure the qorus.rbac-force-user option in the System Options File file and restart the Qorus server to assume a default user for all unauthenticated connections from that host or IP address range. |
| Password is incorrect | Correct the password in the URL and try again. |
Error: Authorization Error
When Qorus Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) security is enabled, only authenticated users can connect, and each user has a set of permissions that allow the user to perform certain actions or classes of actions in the server. If the user does not have the required permission, an error message is returned.
AUTHORIZATION-ERROR: user "user1" does not have permission "WORKFLOW-CONTROL"
| Possible Cause | Action to Take |
| User does not have the required permission | Use another username that has the permission or add the permission to your user and try again. |
Error: Database Connection Error
ERROR: DBI:PGSQL:ERROR: could not connect to server: Connection refused
| Possible Cause | Action to Take |
| The database connection parameters are incorrect | Check the entry in the qorus.systemdb for the connection string and try again. Verify connectivity with sqlplus (Oracle), psql (PostgreSQL), or mysql (MySQL) |
| The database is down | Restart the database and try again |
