Suspect actions in a macro..

2013-02-25 Thread Joe D'Souza
 

When I used armacroed for checking out a macro definition, this is what it 
returned:

 

1) Set Current Working Schema to FormName (ServerName)

2) Perform Query

 Query bar --  '536871083' >= "$Start Date$" AND '536871083' <= "$End 
Date$" AND '536870932' = "Tier2 Customer Support" AND '7' = "Closed"

3) ** Unknown command **

   Form-open:

4) ** Unknown command **

   Form-entry-list: 0

5) Perform Query

 Query bar --  '536871083' >= "$Start Date$" AND '536871083' <= "$End 
Date$" AND '536870932' = "Tier2 Customer Support" AND '7' = "Closed"

6) ** Unknown command **

   Form-entry-list: 0

7) ** Unknown command **

   Form-final: modify☺@

 

I find it a little suspicious that the same action/query, is repeated twice. 
Since I did not develop it I cannot say with certainty if this was actually 
recorded twice. I suspect it was. Would this mean that this macro would perform 
that same query twice?

 

I am yet to test the run of these macros to log if it actually runs the query 
twice. What do you’ll think? Is line 5 and 6 unnecessary and will repeat the 
query the second time?

Thanks Fred,

 

That’s what I suspected. I didn’t have too many ‘good macros’ to compare as I 
saw a number of them that had this same ‘problem’. I’m suspecting that the 
client tool is actually running that search twice. I haven’t done tests to 
confirm that but if those instructions appear twice within the macro I don’t 
see how it would perform it only once. I may have some clean up to do.

 

I have no idea why they have these statements twice – these were perhaps 
developed by end users and not the developer is my best guess. Since the macro 
recording process does not actually display the contents of what it has already 
recorded, it might have been easy for the end user to repeat some actions 
without suspecting the consequence.

I just looked at a couple here (I can’t believe I still had some macros on a 
network share) were in the format of 

 

Set Working Schema

Perform Query

Form-open

Form-entry-list

Form-final: modify

 

So, Yes I believe lines 5 and line 6 are unnecessary and can be deleted.

Hi,

I think it is the Form-Final that actually performs the search.

Why not start client-side API-logging and see what happens?

Why not record new macros in the user client? Macros still exists, right?

Re: Suspect actions in a macro..

2013-02-26 Thread Joe D'Souza
Yes I need to do that, but there's another 'slight' problem that I need to 
address before doing that :-)

The slight problem is, that the macros that have this particular problem, have 
underlying tables that are in excess of 200K records, one of them is actually 
having a record count of 6.5 million. And many of the columns used in the where 
part of the queries are not indexed, resulting in the operation chocking the 
server to near death. Which is why I ended up inspecting all those many macros 
to find out what I can from them.

Obviously now is not the time to run those macros to fire the searches. I am in 
the process of collecting data to optimize these queries in the first place, so 
once that is done and implemented, I plan to tackle the problem of those 
queries appearing twice.

Thanks for your suggestions anyways..

How's the little girl doing?

Hi,

Why not turn on your server logs for API/ESCL/SQL/FLTR and check which
searches are actually performed and take time? That is the easiest way to
figure out which indexes that is missing, or which queries needs to be
rewritten.

ADV: And why not use RRR|Log to do it?

The output below is exactly from there. The macro itself if opened in notepad 
would not display its content in a fairly organized fashion as below. Its 
readable but not as readable as from the editor.

Subject: Suspect actions in a macro..

 

 

When I used armacroed for checking out a macro definition, this is what it 
returned:

 

1) Set Current Working Schema to FormName (ServerName)

2) Perform Query

 Query bar --  '536871083' >= "$Start Date$" AND '536871083' <= "$End 
Date$" AND '536870932' = "Tier2 Customer Support" AND '7' = "Closed"

3) ** Unknown command **

   Form-open:

4) ** Unknown command **

   Form-entry-list: 0

5) Perform Query

 Query bar --  '536871083' >= "$Start Date$" AND '536871083' <= "$End 
Date$" AND '536870932' = "Tier2 Customer Support" AND '7' = "Closed"

6) ** Unknown command **

   Form-entry-list: 0

7) ** Unknown command **

   Form-final: modify☺@

 

I find it a little suspicious that the same action/query, is repeated twice. 
Since I did not develop it I cannot say with certainty if this was actually 
recorded twice. I suspect it was. Would this mean that this macro would perform 
that same query twice?

 

I am yet to test the run of these macros to log if it actually runs the query 
twice. What do you’ll think? Is line 5 and 6 unnecessary and will repeat the 
query the second time?

Hi,

I don't seem to be able to see the whole thread on my iPhone, so I'm not sure 
that my answer is relevant. 

Anyway, ARSmarts offers a macro editor, and I think you could live with the 
free version. 

Best regards.
