Automatic recovery of a module

In some occasions, a module in BILLmanager can stop working after:

• COREmanager updates. Read more in the article Upgrade;
• BILLmanager updates. Read more in the article Upgrade;
• Updates of third-party libraries in the system.

To resolve the issues, you may rebuild the modules.

The rebuild process involves the following steps:

1. When calling the modules for the first time (for example, when calling a "Processing module"), the system receives the functions that the module supports. The system calls: "<module name> --command features";
2. In case of the failure, the system tries to rebuild the module. To do so, BILLmanager:
   1. Checks that the directory "mgr5/src/<module name>"
      • module name must match the name of the module binary file) is present. 
   2. The system calls

      make install-only -C mgr5/src/<module name>/Makefile

   3. Once the rebuilt procedure is complete, the system will try to make the call from step 1.
