[U2] [UD] UniObjects Overload
I have an interesting application issue. Currently we have the vast majority of the application traffic on the ERP system (Datatel's Colleague) accessing the database thru listeners connecting via UniObjects. The UniObjects interface appears to be saturated, after about three listeners connect in we max out at throughput -- more listeners do not give us more transactions per second. Is it possible to bring up a second daemon so that UniObjects can be accessed on another port? The machine we are doing this on is an HP baby Superdome and has plenty of hoursepower -- and plenty of free resources. Disk bottlenecks have been cleared up, plenty of free cpu, etc. The HP/sysadmin folks are saying that it appears to be database related, and I thought this would be a great experiment to try. Thanks for any advice! Steve... -- Steve Kneizys ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] [UD] UniObjects Overload
Hmm - so what level of traffic are you getting ? How many uniobjects connections are there open at any one time and what type of connections (i.e. pooled or non pooled) We currently do 15 million web hits a month on a combination of pooled and non pooled connections, i have tested around 70 hits per second on four pooled connections. This obviously depends on how fast your backend process is, ours being around 30 - 50 milliseconds. If for example your backend takes 300 milliseconds then on one connection you will get a max of 3.3 hits per second, after that they will start to queue up in your multiplexing layer. I have never come across the unirpcd process itself becoming saturated so maybe it is more to do with the number uniobject connections and the time of the backend processes. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of regalit...@aol.com Sent: 05 March 2010 15:59 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UD] UniObjects Overload I have an interesting application issue.

I don't think it works if the user moves their documents/My documents
anyway so it's probably not the best place to be dropping files. I've
always avoided it unless it's a .net app where I can use
Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments, even then I've only used it once
or twice for unimportant things.
%HOMEPATH% actually goes to \Documents and Settings\{username} not
{drive}:\Documents and Settings\{username} which is why it's not working
the same as %USERPROFILE%.
Make a network share and use \\server\share\%username% instead =).

[U2] Re: UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
Still haven't found our issue but I'm wondering if you've ever seen this behavior. It seems to be happening about once a day to different users. Our users use putty to login to our ssh server. From there they are routed to the universe server. I'm not real familiar with how all that works. Once in a while a users session will get dropped but the telnet session in universe remains open. They can be doing absolutely nothing at the time of disconnect (sitting at tcl or a input prompt), yet their process will begin consuming cpu resource like crazy until we go in and manually disconnect them. On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 1:50 PM, Mike Roosa mike.ro...@gmail.com wrote: We are running UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server in a virtualized environment. 99% of the time the system runs great and we have no issues, however, about once a day or every other day during the busiest time, we have a period of 2-3 minutes where the server slows down and basically quits responding. Without us taking any action the system begins responding normally again and we usually make it through that day without issue. We typically have around 85 users on the system at one time sometimes that gets up closer to 95 or 100 but not often. I have noticed certain processes that definitely cause the issue like running winmsd from the command line or renaming a directory on the server. Since I know these processes cause the issue I don't do that during the day. Obviously there are other processes that also can cause issues for us. We have worked with our vendor and Rocket and the latest we've gotten from them is that our server is under-resourced. While that very well could be true, we want to do a little more research first and reach out to other Windows/UniVerse users to see what hardware they are running and if anyone is in a virtualized environment. Any help we can get would be appreciated. Thanks Mike Roosa ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

The script above will work for AccuTerm users on the client, not on the server. If that's what you want and you have AccuTerm, great. Otherwise someone will need to code an executable wrapper around shfolder.dll. Again - a bit extreme given the multitude of simpler solutions.

Re: [U2] [UV] On Linux
We are running an older version (10.0.9) on Centos. When we first migrated that legacy system from HP-UX to RHE (don't recall the version) the primary issue was modifying scripts we had developed to handle printing. The data files and applications moved cleanly (had to run the conversion program for the changing endian). The system is only accessed for historical data now (with a couple exceptions), so when the hardware crashed last summer, we moved it to a virtual machine (VMware) running Centos. With that migration, we had to make a couple changes to the OS terminfo files (keypads wouldn't work right). I don't recall any other major issues; but my memory file is static, and hasn't been resized in way too long!

Mike - I'm reminded that Mark Russinovich, one of the creators of SysInternals utilities, published some videos a few months ago specifically about diagnosing performance issues. At the time I wasn't facing such issues with any of our clients, so the info didn't stick, but I remember thinking the info presented probably wasn't available anywhere else. It seems you're a good audience for this now. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx Look around for any videos, webcasts, blogs, etc. That stuff was created for You.

Re: [U2] UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
Mike - I bet the problem is that your users ssh sessions are disconnecting from the ssh server and the ssh server still has the connection to the UniVerse server. It would work much better if you had OpenSSH running on the UniVerse server and used it to connect directly to UniVerse. I bet UniVerse still thinks the session is connected. Have you installed UniAdmin and used it to see the sessions and their status? If not you UniAdmin (on the UniVerse client install CD) is a great tool for this type of problem.
