Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread Kemes, Lisa
I have a table with about 22,000 records. I have a unique index on 2 field on 
this table.

On another form I have a Character field that connects via a menu to these 
records.  Even though I have an index, it takes a good 40 seconds for the menu 
item to show all of the records when activated.

Is there any way to increase the performance on this?  Looks like it works this 
way on the desktop client and the midtier.

Hi,

If you want to load 22,000 records into your client, it will always take
time.

Would it not be possible to limit the selection?

If you are loading all records, indexes are not important, as everything
must be read anyhow.

That's probably what I'll have to end up doing (limiting the selection).  I'll 
think of a different way (there are many ways to skin a cat)  -where did this 
saying come from anyway?

Anyway, just wondering if I was doing something wrong, but if this performance 
is as expected for 22,000+ records, I'll figure out another way to gather this 
data for the customer.  Maybe I'll make them type in the first few letters and 
only bring back those records or something.

Table drill down not working for one form on mid-tier

2011-06-10 Thread Jerry Zhou
Hi All,
  When I double click on a selected row on this table from web, the form
is open in modified mode, but without any data populated.
And:
  1) it works fine with remedy client
  2) other tables and/or forms works fine on web
  3) I made a copy of this form without any workflow, created  a new
table based on this copy form from scratch with a few sample records, it
still doesn't work
  4) Furthermore, I deleted all the none-core fields, only left the core
fields from this copy form, it still doesn't work!

Platform:
  ARS server and mid-tier 7.1 patch 7

Really appreciate any ideas!!

Re: Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread Matt Reinfeldt
Lisa,

 

How are you qualifying the search on the menu?  If needed, run a SQL log to
see what query is actually getting passed to the database, and work from
there.  Often, it's not what you'd expect.  Hopefully, you're doing
something on the front-end to narrow down what shows in that menu from 22k,
though!  

 

Good luck,

 

Matt

Hi,

If the data does not need to be 100% up to date, this seems like a good
candidate for a nightly report?

When it is useful for human to examine 22,000 lines when clicking on a
char-menu or scrolling a table-field?

If the person needs to find one specific line, it seems likely that you
can do a multiple-tier selection of some kind?

Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se

Re: Compound qualification for a GetList web service

2011-06-10 Thread L G Robinson
Hi Chintan,

Thanks for the additional suggestions. I believe I will take a different
aproach...

Instead of returning complete records on the get-list request based on the
qualification supplied by the user, I will return a subset of the fields,
specifically excluding the field(s) that may contain information that is not
for general consumption. But I will include the Entry-id as one of the
returned fields.

Then I will provide another web service (get-entry) which will return all of
the fields for a single entry, specified by Entry-id. Then I can impose my
additional restriction on the qualification for the request since the
customer will just be supplying the Entry-id and not a complete
qualification. I know how to do this and have successfully done it on
another service.

This is not exactly what I was shooting for because it requires additional
steps for the user, but it will give me assurance that the restricted
information does not leak out through this web service.

Thanks again for your thoughts on this question.

Larry

 ** Ah..I c what you are saying now..Sorry,  in all of my conversation, I
 thought you would be comparing XPATH Qualification to some field on form but
 that's not the case. My bad for not reading the thread properly.

 IMHO, there are 2 solutions for this(there could be more..but this is what
 I can think of so far)..again this might not be the most elegant solution on
 planet but it can get job done.

 1. Build an automated workflow that would push all Distribution!=Internal
 records to a staging form and build web-service from staging form. In that
 case you will never need AND 'Distribution'!=Internal qualification
 appended. This is probably good since amount of records to traverse would be
 lesser than what is on source form and it would take query off the source
 form. One of caveat I see upfront is that you will have to spend time in
 building that staging form(you can probably just do a save as on source
 form) and maintaining that workflow that pushes records to it.

 2. Client should supply complete qualification(as you mentioned you will be
 at the mercy of the client)

 Does #1 help or does it over-complicate :)?

 Thanks
 Chintan.

Re: Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread Logan, Kelly
As Misi noted, a multi-tiered menu could be very helpful here – if you have 
indexes declared, those same datapoints should be useful as groupings as well 
for a multi-tiered menu.  Or they could be separate elements set by the 
customer for the search to narrow the selection and make the query faster.  
These could be tiered elements like Product Categorization uses, in a 
multi-tiered menu or set of menus, or separate elements like Incident Matching 
(customer name, location, priority, etc) on a control panel with a list of 
query results in a table below.



Perhaps some of these datapoints could be set by the system from what is known 
about the user; without knowing the data involved it's hard to guess, but an 
example would be showing by default sites that are in the same state as the 
customer, or issues that are associated with the laptop the customer owns, or 
the top 10, 20, 100 choices made by similar customers.  This could also let you 
present most of the desired customer choices without having to do an 
unqualified query.

 Hi,

 If the data does not need to be 100% up to date, this seems like a good
candidate for a nightly report?

 When it is useful for human to examine 22,000 lines when clicking on a
char-menu or scrolling a table-field?

 If the person needs to find one specific line, it seems likely that you
can do a multiple-tier selection of some kind?

 That's probably what I'll have to end up doing (limiting the selection).
 I'll think of a different way (there are many ways to skin a cat)

 Anyway, just wondering if I was doing something wrong, but if this
 performance is as expected for 22,000+ records, I'll figure out
 another way to gather this data for the customer. Maybe I'll make
 them type in the first few letters and only bring back those records or

 Hi,

 If you want to load 22,000 records into your client, it will always
 take time.

 Would it not be possible to limit the selection?

 If you are loading all records, indexes are not important, as
 everything must be read anyhow.

 I have a table with about 22,000 records. I have a unique index on 2
 field on this table.

 On another form I have a Character field that connects via a menu to
 these records. Even though I have an index, it takes a good 40
 seconds for the menu item to show all of the records when activated.

 Is there any way to increase the performance on this? Looks like it
 works this way on the desktop client and the midtier.

Re: Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread Easter, David
Another possibility (perhaps more forward looking) is to upgrade to AR System 
7.6.04 or later and utilize the auto-complete feature.  BMC has tune the 
auto-complete to address this exact use case (a menu with a very large number 
of items - like a customer list).

Auto-complete was actually introduced in AR System 7.5.00, but the performance 
increase for this use case was added in 7.6.04.

PDFhttp://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/42/26/194226/194226.pdf

Enhanced auto-completion
The automatic complete feature is improved to handle large data sets in search 
menus that are attached to a character field (for example, over 10,000 
entries). This feature also minimizes unwanted searches.

 Thad,

 We do something similar to what you describe you want to do. It's easier now
 than it was a few versions ago. What makes it easier is the fixed, floating
 licenses are stored in the data base.

 Anyway what you do is create a DNS alias for your production server. You
 configure desktop clients and any MidTier servers to connect using the
 alias. Any internal connections like the email engine should also use the
 alias. Make sure everything works right.

 Install the second server to the DB instance. Make sure you do the
 installation as an upgrade. Like with the production server make sure that
 internal connections use the alias. Apply any server license while you have
 the fail over up and running. (You can get a hot stand by server license at
 no cost but you do have to renew it each year).

 If you need to switch to the fail over server, you shut down the production.
 Change DNS alias. Start up the fail over. Desktop clients may need to flush
 their DNS cache.

 In our case we also have several MidTier instances that are running on
 separate servers around the world. Users connect to the MidTier servers
 using a DNS alias defined with in the regional zone.

 The big thing is to test the stand by configuration at least once a year.
 You will be surprised at the little things hiding in config files that you
 forgot to change.

 Subject: Looking for white paper on disaster recovery configurations

 **

 Hello,

 I thought I had recently seen a white paper on disaster recovery for ARS,
 but I can't seem to find it now, either by searching the arslist archives or
 BMC's website.  I found the white paper on load balancer configurations, but
 that doesn't cover what I'm looking for.  Basically, we are setting up a
 secondary site to function as a failover (ARS stays down until needed), and
 I'm looking for the best way to configure ARS.  We already have a mid-tier
 and replicated database set up, and now I need to put the AR server in
 place.  In particular, I'm thinking about server names and how best to
 manage the configurations of those between the two servers (prod and
 failover).

 That's a vague question I know, (I'm just starting down this path) so a link
 to the white paper or any general advice is appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Thad

Re: Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread John Sundberg
Agreed - the menu is too large for actual use -- auto-complete would be a great 
solution for both usability and performance.

Also -- for fun -- it is good to look at this occasionally for 
thoughts/inspiration...

Re: Table drill down not working for one form on mid-tier

2011-06-10 Thread William Rentfrow
Did you...

1.) Do workflow logging to see if the API and/or workflow logging is
firing to set the data into the fields?  You should probably see a +GLE
or +GLEWF happening if it's strictly API stuff happening.

There's also a chance that there's workflow that's setting all fields to
NULL after window open.  Sounds unlikely but I've seen it happen (as
recently as 7.6.03...)

2.) Verify row level permissions on the data
3.) Try this as the admin user as well as the others?

That said - I have seen a few mid-tier bugs where data didn't display in
this way though.  BMC will ask you for the logs if you call them though,
so you might as well check it first.

Subject: Table drill down not working for one form on mid-tier

Hi All,
  When I double click on a selected row on this table from web, the form
is open in modified mode, but without any data populated.
And:
  1) it works fine with remedy client
  2) other tables and/or forms works fine on web
  3) I made a copy of this form without any workflow, created  a new
table based on this copy form from scratch with a few sample records, it
still doesn't work
  4) Furthermore, I deleted all the none-core fields, only left the core
fields from this copy form, it still doesn't work!

Platform:
  ARS server and mid-tier 7.1 patch 7

Really appreciate any ideas!!

Re: Performance issue on Menu

2011-06-10 Thread William Rentfrow
However 
 
One of my current customers has 40,000+ sites.  Consequently the Site+
field pulls 120,000+ records because the way the application was
structured the Region/Site Group/Site menus do not just pull form site -
they pull from a cascading set of join forms that include things like
site aliases, etc.
 
The tiered menu system should help in this Instance - BUT - the best
practice view blow that philosophy out of the water.  There is specific
workflow in several places that set Region and Site Group to NULL when
you hit the Site+ field.  In other places those fields aren't even on
the form.
 
4 minutes later you get your menu with120,000 records.  Believe it or
not they are laid out well enough that you can find your site
quicklybut there's some weird design in there.  We're still working
with BMC support and RD on this issue.

** Agreed - the menu is too large for actual use -- auto-complete would
be a great solution for both usability and performance. 

Also -- for fun -- it is good to look at this occasionally for

Another possibility (perhaps more forward looking) is to upgrade to AR
System 7.6.04 or later and utilize the auto-complete feature.  BMC has
tune the auto-complete to address this exact use case (a menu with a
very large number of items - like a customer list).  

Auto-complete was actually introduced in AR System 7.5.00, but the
performance increase for this use case was added in 7.6.04.

Enhanced auto-completion

The automatic complete feature is improved to handle large data sets in
search menus that are attached to a character field (for example, over
10,000 entries). This feature also minimizes unwanted searches.

Form a UI design perspective that is kind of harsh; here's your 22,000
records, select one.  Unless you have a really good drill down tier
structure to hide many of the values that do not apply it is likely
people would pick the wrong value out of frustration. 

You are already seeing the performance impact in the amount of time it
takes to open the menu but think about why. That is 22k records being
sent over the wire and being stored in memory on the client's computer.
With modern computers and a strong LAN this probably isn't much of an
issue but will that be the case for all of your users?

Can you give us a little more detail about your requirements? I am sure
the community could help with a solution :)

 Hi,
 
 If the data does not need to be 100% up to date, this seems like a
good candidate for a nightly report?
 
 When it is useful for human to examine 22,000 lines when clicking on a
char-menu or scrolling a table-field?
 
 If the person needs to find one specific line, it seems likely that
you can do a multiple-tier selection of some kind?

 That's probably what I'll have to end up doing (limiting the

Delete contents of the workflow directory

2011-06-10 Thread Jason Miller
Hello everybody,

After upgrading our server to everything 7.6.04 SP1 we now have a 5.8 GB
install path\BMCRemedyITSMSuite\servername\Workflow directory.  We need
to free some space or expand the volume.  I am hoping to free some space vs.
going to the volume expansion well (again).

Does anybody know if we can delete these files?  (actually archive them,
never know when you need original defs).

Are they ever used again?

If they are used again is that only during upgrades/patches/etc?

Thanks,
Jason

Resize Box in 7.6.4 Overlay mode

2011-06-10 Thread Vindhya Samarasekera
Hi,
Does anyone know how to resize a Box in 7.6.4?   We have created an overlay
of the form and the box .  But the properties are disabled and we tried all
the tags at the corner, middle, etc and none of it is working.  This is a
display only form... does this make a difference.

You have to make an overlay of the view also.  Open the form and click Form
