Application Engine hangs

Hi
I find that for some reason only programs of type Application Engine are going into queued status.
All the other programs are running fine.
The Process scheduler processes application engine programs only after cancelling all application engine programs in queued status
Can you please let me know what possible causes could be attributed to this behaviour

Cyril
As Nick told, find for earlier AE's that are in error/delete and clean them up from Prcs monitor. then,
*Option1
Reconfigure the prcs scheduler, clear cache and restart back. Check the last one that is in Queued. If it picks UP then let the backlog clears until u trigger a new one.
*Option2
Reconfigure the Prcs Scheduler by selecting 'n' to disable the PSAESRV's, then clear cache and start back.
IN either case you can try increase the logfence in psprcs.cfg so that it gives detailed info in the logs. btw Wat is the Max concurrency set on AE's? is the issue on both NT/UNX?? (or) Just one of them?

Help needed creating export file from a file layout with Application Engine

The following is what I would like to do:
- Read a record from a PS view
- Manipulate the data as needed
- Write the fields out to a file as defined by a File Layout
- Repeat until no more records are found
I have created the PeopleSoft Application Engine action listed below. It receives an error "BCUNIT is not a property of class File".
Local Record &rec1;
Local File &myFile;
Local SQL &sQL1;
/* Create instance of Record */
&rec1 = CreateRecord(Record.W9M_MBSCRSE_VW);
/* Instantiate the Output File */
&myFile = GetFile("c:\temp\help_me.txt";, "A", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &myFile.IsOpen Then
If &myFile.SetFileLayout(FileLayout.TACOURIN) Then
/* Create SQL object to populate rowset */
&sQL1 = CreateSQL("%Selectall(:1) Where INSTITUTION = :2", &rec1, W9M_MBSCRSE_AET.INSTITUTION);
/* Cycle through the records */
While &sQL1.Fetch(&rec1)
/* I know this section is not coded correctly but I'm not sure how to fix it */
&myFile.BCUNIT = "1";
&myFile.BCTCD = &rec.W9M_MBS_TERM_CODE;
&myFile.BCTYR = &rec.W9M_MBS_TERM_YEAR;
&myFile.BCDPTN = &rec.ACAD_GROUP;
&myFile.BCCOUR = substring(&rec.CATALOG_NBR,2,5);
&myFile.BCSEC = &rec.CLASS_SECTION;
&myFile.WriteRecord();
End-While;
Else
/* Process FileLayout Error here */
End-If;
Else
/* Process File Open Error here */
End-If;
&myFile.Close();
There are probably a lot of things wrong with this approach and if you could provide some guidance and/or corrections to the above logic I would greatly appreciate it.
Another approach?
After doing a bunch of reading on Application Engine maybe my approach is incorrect. Perhaps I should be doing something like the following:
- Read a record from a PS view
- Populate a temporary table manipulating data as it is inserted (Temp table is named according to the file layout fields?)
- Fetch the records from the temp table and write the record to the file layout.
- Repeat until no more records are found
Is this approach better and designed correctly? If not, could you recommend how it should be done? Would the population and reading of the Temp table be done in separate actions or within the same action? Do you know of an Application Engine program that can be used as an example with "like" processing?
As you can probably tell I haven't used Application Engine before and my goal is to start out on the right path. Thank you for any direction and input that you can provide.
Steve

I did and my initial logic was based upon them. I don't see where it shows how to manipulate the data before writing it to the file layout fields. Maybe you can send me a link to that section?
I was hoping that I would be able to reference the file layout fields directly to allow for manipulating the field values. Re-reading the file layout section and the application engine PeopleBooks I believe I need to create a temporary record which matches the file layout fields; i.e., the second alternative that I listed. Then, make my updates to the temp record fields as I load them. Then, load them to the file layout as a row.
I'm not sure how this would break down in Application Engine; would the insert into the temp table and the writerecord be different steps/actions, etc.

Parallel process in Application engine

could any one explain me what is parallel process in Application engine where temp table is use?
give me with example?

Parallel processing is used when considerable amounts of data must be updated or processed within a limited amount of time, or batch window. In most cases, parallel processing is more efficient in environments containing partitioned data.
To use parallel processing, partition the data between multiple concurrent runs of a program, each with its own dedicated version of a temporary table (for example, PS_MYAPPLTMP). If you have a payroll batch process, you could divide the employee data by last name. For example, employees with last names beginning with A through M get inserted into PS_MYAPPLTMP1; employees with last names beginning with N-Z get inserted into PS_MYAPPLTMP2.
To use two instances of the temporary table, you would define your program (say, MYAPPL) to access to one of two dedicated temporary tables. One execution would use A-M and the other N-Z.
The Application Engine program invokes logic to pick one of the available instances. After each program instance gets matched with an available temporary table instance, the %Table meta-SQL construct uses the corresponding temporary table instance. Run control parameters passed to each instance of the MYAPPL program enable it to identify which input rows belong to it, and each program instance inserts the rows from the source table into its assigned temporary table instance using %Table. The following diagram illustrates this process:
Multiple program instances running against multiple temporary table instances
There is no simple switch or check box that enables you to turn parallel processing on and off. To implement parallel processing, you must complete the following set of tasks. With each task, you must consider details regarding your specific implementation.
Define and save temporary table records in PeopleSoft Application Designer.
You don't need to run the SQL Build process at this point.
In PeopleSoft Application Engine, assign temporary tables to Application Engine programs, and set the instance counts dedicated for each program.
Employ the %Table meta-SQL construct so that PeopleSoft Application Engine can resolve table references to the assigned temporary table instance dynamically at runtime.
Set the number of total and online temporary table instances on the PeopleTools Options page.
Build temporary table records in PeopleSoft Application Designer by running the SQL Build process.

CAD Application gets Hanged for UCCE 7.5.1 when agent answered the call for particular location

Hi All,
We have a CAD server installed on ICM PG box.
Two agent location namely X and Y
Datacenter resided in location X
Users in location X were not facing any issue
Users from location Y facing diificulties and they were using CAD ver 7.5.1.
Randomly for all the users in location Y were reporting CAD application gets Hanged immediately when the agent answer the call.
Location Y is connected via WAN.
Both the location we are using same CAD version, but still issue persist in location Y.
Kindly let me know how to address this issue
If this was a BUG why it was not impacting other location

Hi,
I found the problem in CAD Troubleshooting guide.
Problem: Agents can’t log into Agent Desktop.
Solution: During Unified ICM installation, an “Agent Login Required for Client Events” check box is displayed. By default this check box is unchecked. It must remain unchecked for agents to be able to log in. If the check box was checked during Unified ICM installation, you must reinstall Unified ICM and make sure the check box remains unchecked.
I reinstalled CTI Server without that checkbox and now the agent is able to login.
Thanks all for your help.

Application Engine and Markets

Does anyone know how Application Engine chooses which market to execute?
On each section in an Application Engine program, the developer can choose to limit a section to a specific database platform or a specific market. PeopleBooks documents how it chooses which section to execute when multiple sections exist. Most of the time, I just leave the platform as default and the market as GBL, and I never have had to worry about it.
Understanding how the Application Engine chooses based on the database platform is easy: one of the options on the command-line tells it which platform to connect. But, what about the market? PeopleBooks does not document a command-line option that passes the market to psae.exe. I originally thought it would use the market from the run control component, but I don't understand how psae.exe knows. Does the market only apply to Application Engine programs run online and not through process scheduler?

the log is :

Application Engine inbound Process

Hi all,
am new from peoplesoft.
anyone knows how to write application Engine inbound process.
please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
RS

Hey Inbound threw Application engine is a simple process
take a new file layout from application designer
drag & drop your record into file lay out definition page
go to Preview panel & select segment (your record) name , browse the flat file
go to properties -- use -- File Layout Format check exel format ok
drag your file layout into AE actions ,automatically it generates code. now Run or else use this code
Define a file,array,string,record
Assign values to the above using functions GetFile , CreateArrayRept , text file for string,GetRecord .
Check the file status open using IsOpen ,read the first value of flat file using ReadLine
Push the text into array ,next step split
assign to the record field values Local File &myfile;
Local array of string &myarray;
Local string &text;
Local Record &rec;
&myfile = GetFile("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\office.txt", "r", %FilePath_Absolute);
&myarray = CreateArrayRept("", 0);
&rec = CreateRecord(Record.IN1_TBL);
If &myfile.IsOpen Then
While &myfile.ReadLine(&text);
&myarray.Push(&text);
&myarray = Split(&text, ",");
&rec.IN1_NAME.Value = &myarray [1];
&rec.IN1_LOCATION.Value = &myarray [2];
&rec.Insert();
End-While;
End-If;
&myfile.Close();

Disable restart and state record in Application Engine

Hi All,
can any one explain me elaborately about disable restart check box in advanced properties of an ae program ? What s the relation for this check box with state record of types i.e sql table or derived work record

When you set the application engine to enable restart your state record needs to be a database record, so that the application eninge can continue where it left off with all values in the state record on that state.
When you set the application engine to disable restart your state record can be a work record, because the application engine will always restart from the beginning, not using any variables from the staterecord.

Sqr vs application engine

hi all,
I have a question. i knew that application engine and sqr has it's own advantages.
i want to know which is faster. let us say we have to write a program which will have large number of database trips.
please suggest me which one i choose to get the faster results.
Thank you.

@user629988, generally speaking, PL/SQL runs faster than SQR or AE. If you have to create an output file, however, then you are probably better off using an SQR or AppEngine over PL/SQL. Yes, you can create output files with PL/SQL, but it will be easier if you use SQR or AE.
Row by row processing doesn't optimize well. Set based processing has potential to be much more efficient. Perhaps you can collect some of the data for the 20 different SQL's into stage tables, and then run the SQL statements against sets rather than per row?
As far as PL/SQL constructs, etc, it could be as simple as straight SQL that selects from your run control record. I would put the PL/SQL in a package. From AE, you launch PL/SQL using
%Execute(/)
begin;
--call PL/SQL routine
end;
In SQR, you just end statements with two semi-colons ;;
begin;;
--call PL/SQL routine
end;;

List of application engines that a delivered app engine touches

Hi everybody,
Can any one please tell me is there any documentation to get all the application engines that were touched by a delivered application engine.
For example. the AP_VCHRBLD will call the app engine APVEDTPRRT and a lot other app engines.
I want to know if there is any documentation provided by peoplesoft to know all the app engines that were touched by a delivered application engine.
OR
if you have any other docuementation(not from peoplesoft), please share with me.
Thank you.

You can look in the peoplettools table psaestepdefn. Where an AE step is statically coded to call another step it is recorded in AE_DO_APPL_ID and AE_DO_SECTION.
select distinct ae_Applid, ae_do_appl_id
from psaestepdefn
where ae_do_appl_id != ' '
and ae_applid != ae_do_appl_id
order by 1,2
AE_APPLID AE_DO_APPL_ID
GP_PINMAP GP_PINMAP_CR
GP_PKG_CMP GP_PINMAP
GP_PKG_CR GP_PINMAP
This is not going to work where the call is dynamic.

Mac OS X Applications keep hanging

Since I updated my iMac to 10.5.6 I am having constant problems with applications that hang. It happens to all sorts of apps out of iLife, iWork and other non-Apple Applicactions, too. Especially, when trying to attach a file in a particular program (lie e.g. uploading a photo in a safari browser window, attaching a file in Mail or others. But it also happens just like that out of the blue when using the particular app.
Force quit does not help! I need to force quit twice before the hanging app actually closes its WINDOW. The app itself does not close properly and remains visibly open in the dock (white light), but can not be accessed any longer. A forced system restart by pressing the ON/OFF button on the iMac is required every time. That is pretty annoying!
I tried fixing permissions, although I believe it has nothing to do with that. Verified my HD, which appears to be ok.
I also started my Mac in single user mode (cmd/s at startup) and fsck -fy, received the message "FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED", repeated the procedure and received the message "SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE OK".
Can someone help me out withi this? Thank you.

Application Server Hanging

Hi All ,
One of my application server is hanging. When I checked the OS monitor of the application server through Tcode st06, I found that the CPU utilization is very high.
There are two process which contributed to most of the CPU utilization .
Now when I checked these process through Tcode Sm50 , I found that these process are currently executing monthly report running in the background.
Please suggest me the approach to prevent application server hanging.
Thanks
Gaurav

It is very common that most of the customers face performance problems during monthend due to high number of batch jobs taking all system resources.
You may need to look at the available resources and plan for enhancement if required. Schedule batch jobs to off-peak hours and use dedicated servers for batch processing if ur batch job load is high.
