Alternatives for Flux time services

BEA suggest to use the Flux package if you have the need for time services in your
application server. But this package is quite expensive.
Did anybody successfully use a cheaper time services package?
Cheers,
Koen

IMHO ... If you've ever used Flux
(http://www.simscomputing.com/products/flux) then you'll know that it's
worth it. If your application does not need much time-services-related
functionality, and your application is not clustered, and guaranteed
delivery of job assignments is unnecessary for your application, and a
well-tested well-used product with a documented API isn't compelling, you
can always "roll your own". The Flux product isn't free, but it's a pretty
complete product, and Sims has put a lot of work into it.

  • 90% of the system resource is consumed when timer service is running

    Hi,
        I have an development environment with 8GB RAM with SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014, The SharePoint runs slow when Timer Service is running. Turning of the Timer Service speed up the environment.
    Is it a know issue with SharePoint 2013? Is there any update/hotfix available pertaining to the issue.
    Thanks,
    Ajeet

    Hi  Ajeet,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the SharePoint Timer Service(OWSTIMER)   consumes 90% of the server resource in  your SharePoint 2013 single server.
    For your issue, could you run Microsoft Net Monitor to see the contents of the packets that were being sent / received by the owstimer.exe process?  Also please make sure your single server match the
    hardware requirement:

  • Are the WLS 9.1 Web Service Ant Tasks ready for prime time?

    I am trying to create a Proof of Concept (POC) for Enterprise and B2B Services at Wendy's Int'l, Inc.
    As part of this POC, I created a WSDL for an in-house service and then used the wsdlc and jwsc Ant Tasks to translate this WSDL to Java classes and ultimately (I hoped) a deployable services.
    In this document, I describe the issues I encountered setting up what I consider to be a simple POC.
    I'll try to attach my WSDL file and build.xml so you can follow along.
    I'll also try to attach my CSS file so you can compare how the generated WSDL appears in the Browser to the way I want it to appear.
    If attachments are not allowed on these forums, then I will wait and see if there is interest in those documents before I paste them under this topic.
    Some preliminary information about my environment.
    Environment:
         Windows XP Pro SP2
         WebLogic 9.1
         Java 1.5.0_04
    Service Name:
         AppRelease
    Note: If I modify my WSDL (perhaps to add a new Operation or to change the definition of an element) and run wsdlc again, the AppReleaseSOAPPortImpl.java file is overwritten For this reason, I implemented my service logic in a class called AppReleaseServiceImple.java.
    Now, for the issues.
    1.     Bug:
    In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:part child of the wsdl:message tag is erroneously prefixed with a colon.
    This occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
    Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
    2.     Bug:
    In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:input and wsdl:output children of the wsdl:operation child of wsdl:portType tag are erroneously prefixed with a colon. Like 1 above, this occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
    Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
    The error message generated by Bugs 1 and 2 is not helpful in diagnosing the problem:
    [jwsc] Error at line:46 col:7 ':' expected [?! -- [CDATA[ ]
    3.     Bug:
    In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the documentation elements have all of my html elements stripped out, as well as my xhtml and wsdl namespace references. This completely negates one of the best features of the documentation tag, being able to present the WSDL in a browser as a nicely formatted, human friendly document which is also the underlying WSDL that can be viewed when the person views the source document.
    I label this as a bug because it greatly reduces the functionality of the resulting WSDL.
    4.     Annoyance:
    The WSDL generated by wsdlc has all of my comments stripped out, except the comments in the xsd:schema section of the wsdl:types element. I would prefer that all my comments be left in the WSDL, but if comments must be stripped out then I think all of the comments should be stripped out.
    5.     Annoyance:
    The WSDL generated by wsdlc has my CSS specification stripped.
    Work around: I don’t know if adding the CSS back will do any good because I have not yet created a deployable service (see the last issue below).
    6.     Annoyance:
    The WSDL generated by wsdlc has different namespace prefixes than the ones I specified for my application's namespace and for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/ namespace.
    Work around: Perform a find/replace on namespace prefixes "s0" and "s1" to return them to my prefered values.
    Another thing I can do at this point is simply replace the generated WSDL in the jar file with my original WSDL. This would address issues 1 thru 6 above.
    7.     Annoyance:
    The java source files created by wsdlc are put into a jar file. This makes it annoying when working within a traditional IDE like Eclipse because there is no way to reference the source files within the jar as working source.
    Work around: Extract the source files from the jar and identify the resulting directory structure as part of the source structure of the project.
    8.     Bug:
    The jwsc task complains if the same parameter name is used in multiple operations. I received the following Errors from jwsc:
    [jwsc] C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\AppReleaseSOAPPort.java 0:0
    [jwsc] [ERROR] - Parameter element "{http://acre.services.wendys.com/AppRelease/}garRequest" is not unique across document/literal bare WebService.
    Since the operation names are unique, I see no reason to also require uniqueness in the parameter names used by those operations.
    Work around: Use unique element names for the input parameters of the services operations.
    9.     Bug:
    Once items 1, 2 and 8 above are taken care of, jwsc fails with the following error:
    java.lang.AssertionError: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.j2ee.descriptor.ApplicationBeanImpl
    This seems to be due to the weblogic.jar file not being in the System Classpath.
    However, I should note that when I set verbose="on" and debug="on" in the jwsc ant task, there was a message from the task which stated "[jwsc] [search path for class files: [big freakin’ jar list]". In the big freakin’ jar list, I did find weblogic.jar and weblogic.jar has the required ApplicationBeanImpl. This indicates to me that the jwsc task does not fully honor either its classpathref attribute, nor an embedded classpath element.
    Work around: Make sure the weblogic.jar is in the System Classpath.
    10.     Bug:
    I fixed bug #9 by running a setDomainEnv script and then ran my ant task. This time I received the following output:
    ant build-serviceBuildfile: build.xml
    build-service:
    [jwsc] 1 JWS files will be processed.
    [jwsc] Processing JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java
    [jwsc] JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java Validated.
    [AntUtil.deleteDir] Deleting directory <some temporary directory>
    BUILD FAILED
    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    At this point, I am completely stymied about how to proceed.
    I wonder what new issues await once this 10th issue is addressed.
    Really, is this tool set ready for prime time?

    <i>Sorry to hear you are having so many issues with using the WLS 9.1 web service Ant tasks, inside of Eclipse.
    I generally create a User Library for the couple weblogic jars needed, and use it (the User Library) in my Eclipse projects that I create JWSes in.</i><br>
    I also have a separate WebLogic Library in Eclipse (actually 2 libraries since I work with WL 8.1 and now WL 9.1). As you may know, one of the long-standing issues with the Ant integration within Eclipse is the fact that Ant, being an External Tool, does not receive the Project-specific Paths/Libraries. However, since most Java-relevant Ant tasks can take classpath and classpathref attributes, this is usually not an issue. In the case of the BEA-supplied wsdlc Ant task, it is apparent from the verbose/debug console output that wsdlc can see the jars in its classpathref, but it ignores those references when resolving class references and instead only uses the system classpath.
    <p>
    <i>I've only needed the weblogic.jar and xbean.jar, not all the ones you mentioned in an earlier thread of this post.</i><br>
    I have not tried to winnow down exactly which jars are required. I simply included all the jars that exist and were added to the system classpath by the setDomainEnv.bat file created by WebLogic 9.1.
    <p>
    <i>Afterwards, I create an Ant Builder to build the JWS Web Service EAR, as opposed to fiddlin' with Eclipse.</i><br>
    I too use Ant to build my deployable archives. Eclipse is simply my IDE of choice. I validated that all the issues I listed occurred when running Ant from the command line.
    <p>
    <i>If you are interested in how I do it, send me an e-mail (to [email protected]), and I'll send you a zip of one of these JWS projects. The build.xml script for the project, takes care of a lot of the "annoyances" you mentioned, one of which I think is not accurate. I have never had a situation where the wsdlc Ant task "overwrote" my XXXImpl.java file..</i><br>
    Since I'm doing a POC to determine how we want to proceed with developing Web Services and an SOA in general, I tried to perform the same tasks using Axis 2 1.0, the WebLogic 9.1 tools, and XFire 1.1. Overwriting the Impl class is a common failing in the tools which take a WSDL and create Java source files for all three frameworks.
    <p>
    Try my scenario. Add another operation to an existing WSDL, and run the wsdlc Ant Task. The old IMPL class will be over-written.
    <p>
    Because of this, I have a separate Impl class and I make sure that all its methods and annotations match the methods and annotations in the Skeleton Impl class created by wsdlc.
    <p>
    <i>Maybe that's because I use the <exec> Ant task with jar.exe (the xvf options) in my build.xml, to only get what I need out of the .jar/.zip the wsdlc generates. I'm typically only interest in the interface class that my XXXImpl.java file needs to implements, because I use XMLBeans for the input args (and return values) of my web service operations.</i><br>
    Perhaps. I am not using XMLBeans in any of the three frameworks because the resulting service seems to be lighter-weight in all three frameworks if XMLBeans is not used. I'm sure there will be scenarios where XMLBeans is preferred, but I have not encountered that case in this POC.
    <p>
    <i>Regards,
    Mike Wooten</i>
    Thanks for the follow-up.

  • Document Service - Alternatives for dynamic conversion?

    In WebCenter Portal, there's the Documents Service. If you are for example in the Document Manager task flow and click a document, it will show you a preview of the document (if configured properly, see:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_documents.htm#BABBCAHI) This preview is dynamically created using the Dynamic Converter component in WebCenter Content.
    I've found that some users don't see the advantage of having a dynamically created preview. Generating the preview can take very long for complex documents and often the preview (of for example, a large Excel sheet) does not reveal a lof of information and people choose to download the document anyway.
    Do we have any alternatives for the preview functionality? Perhaps a direct download, or alternative plugins? The only alternative I see is showing the document properties instead, but that's not very user-friendly. Any ideas?

    Hi Jaap ,
    I think you can take a look at the Thumbnail functionality , which would show a snippet of the actual file rather than doing an entire Dynamic conversion . Not sure how much of in-context would this solution be , but just an idea .

  • Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

    Hi all,
    Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
    The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
    My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in  Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
    Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
    regards
    Sam

    Balaji,
    in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3
    regards

  • Current best practice for Time service settings for Hyper-V 2012 R2 Host and guest OS's

    I am trying to find out what the current best practice is for Time service settings in a Hyper-V 2012 environment. I find conflicting information. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have found some different sources (links below) but again the
    are not consistent. Thanks
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2010/11/19/time-synchronization-in-hyper-v.aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/virtual_active_directory_domain_controller_virtualization_hyperv(v=ws.10).aspx
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12709.time-services-for-a-domain-controller-on-hyper-v.aspx

    From the first link provided by Brian, it does state that the time service should be off, but then the update changes that statement.  Still best to rely on the first link in the OP - it was written by the guy that has been responsible for much of what
    gets coded into Hyper-V, starting from before there ever was a Hyper-V.  I'd say that's a pretty reliable source. 
    Time service
    For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize
    time from the domain hierarchy.
    To disable the Hyper-V time synchronization provider, shut down the VM and clear the Time synchronization check box under Integration Services.
    Note
    This guidance has been recently updated to reflect the current recommendation to synchronize time for the guest domain controller from only the domain hierarchy, rather than the previous recommendation to partially disable time synchronization between the
    host system and guest domain controller.

  • How to caluculate total transaction time for a particular service in OSB?

    Hi All,
    We are using osb 11g in our project.As a part of performance testing we need to caluculate the total time taken for one transaction i.e at the time of invocation of that particular service till completion of that service.Also We need to caluculate the total time taken in intermediatory service callout if at all it is been used.Is there any out of box functionality provided by osb for caluculating the total time taken for each transaction?
    Since we are using routing and service callouts in our message,log action will not help us.
    Any pointers on the same would be of great help.
    Regards,
    Roopa Marella

    You can turn on monitoring for OSB proxy services. This out of the box gives you average execution time for the proxy service.

  • Time estimation for HR Self Service implementation

    Hi All,
    What will be the best time estimation for implementing Self Service HR with moderate number of customizations (Generally custom workflow or workflow customizations) with 2 CRPs, one UAT and all AIM documentation.
    We have HRMS and Payroll already in place since more than an year.
    Appreciate your answers.
    Thanks,
    CAH

    Realistically it would take an experienced application person who could do the personalizations about 3 months in an existing implementation. This would include testing, training etc. Perhaps 2 or 3 weeks for an experienced person to customize the various workflows.
    If you have never done this application before, triple the time as you figure things out.

  • Over billed - Contacted Cust.Service for 21 times

    Folks, This is my latest experinece with O2, I'm highly regret to be O2 Customer. Their service SUCKS.. DON'T GO FOR THEM AGAIN & DON'T EVER SUGGEST O2 My message to O2 team after *bleep* off by conatcting cust.care agents:=========================================================================
    Ref: Escallation for Over billing – Unsolved issued – Contacted for 21 times This is regarding your worst & pathetic billing system management & disastrous customer service on complains management and customer queries.
    1) In May'15 I was billing for nearly £130, due to international text which triggered from my iPhone app, though I was "opted-out" from International Calls, Text & Special numbers... still it went through and I was charged for those. It is number 1 evidence of your poor IT systems and customer query management.
    2) I contacted customer service agent and got this over bill issue sorted out. However by the time I contacted, the bill was generated and agent advised to take off Direct Debit (as she deactivated DD from her end on behalf of me). The issue was solved for the time being and I cleared payment on 21st June for May month bill.
    3) Again I noticed I was over charged of £30 excess than usual bill and found out that the VAT which was attracted on above said £130 is yet to remove. Since then that is the biggest issue, each time I call agent they make false promises to remove but never happens and not only that each time I call, every agent concludes different reasons for that £30 excess, again false promises to remove but NEVER THAT TAKES IT OFF.
    - Since May'15 - I contacted your O2 Customer service for 21 times
    - My last call/case ID with your agent was yesterday – 678748262
    - Yesterday the agent kept same false practise of promising to send some details over text but never did – Though I’m really surprised, as it is O2 culture.
    - I was disconnected for more than 4 times during these issue transition.
    - on an average I spent 40 mins each time I call customer service.
    My Questions to you:
    - Is this a normal practice of to make your customers go over billed to bag extra money for your own mistakes?
    - Don't you have any ethical values or shame on any corner of your business practise?
    - How many times would you expect your customers to call and spend their personal time to sort out an issue which triggered due to your inefficiency and incapability?
    - Do you think spending huge funds on marketing & Adverts and ditching customers on the background is the core of your business success?
    - Don’t think once committed for a promise must be accomplished?
    What am I Expecting?
    - My problem should be sorted out immediately?
    - I wasn't treated fairly and not received service for what I was paid for
    - I must be compensated for whatever the damage is happen to me
    Thanks,
    Srujan

    Maybe they didn't realise it was international texting, I notice they said it was through an app!
    Although I'm not sure how exactly you might not know, but considering how many scam/rip off apps are around these days, I wouldn't be surprised if it was unintentional!
    To the op, follow the advise above of making a formal complaint.

  • Is there an alternative method to paying for the 3G service?

    I don't have a credit card and thus am in need of an alternative method of payment for 3G data service on the iPad. I was thinking of using a Visa gift/debit card.

    You can use a credit card or pinless debit card. AT&T iPad 3G Data Plans, http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/Apple/iPad-Wi-Fi-3G-Information/td-p/1925513

  • I'm being charged three times for the same service and I can not use it

    Hello, A few months ago I tried to buy Adobe Creative Cloud when putting the data on the card told me that there was a mistake, then I tried other cards ... in short, I'm being charged three times for the same product twice a card and once in another obviously no "mistakes", the problem is that I can not use the product. I want to give low in all three accounts and also be compensated for the time they have charged me three times. Please, I need to solve this urgent problem.
