Applying Leaky bucket algorithm for Distributed Object Computing

Leaky bucket algorithm is an algorithm which is used in Network Traffic control. Can this be used in optimizing applications which use entity beans?
This is a very rare scenario where objects are not loaded properly i.e. it is loaded partially. When we try to locate the beans using primary keys we will get Finder Exceptions. This doesn�t happen with all, but only happens with some. In such a scenario we will get exception when we try to locate object.
For example: A customer at a bank. The operator will be able to do a basic search on customer and pull out the details but operator details cannot be modified because the address bean instance associated with this customer cannot be located. At the same time some customers are fine, because their details can be found. New details can be added.
What if this is something which should happen with all our applications? We want to create holes in the bucket where the holes can selectively filter out the unnecessary instances and can destroy the instances when the application realizes that there is no use of having this instance anymore.
This doesn�t make a difference for a small customer base but will certainly make a difference when there are millions of customers and we are looking at optimizing. Yes of course we can archive the data which is no longer required. Archiving is not always the solution when there is a requirement for several million instances this might make a difference and were not ready to be archived when the archiving process ran.
What will this result in? When a customer is trying to access an account which was not accessed for a year, the customer will get a message, we have your details in our system but you will have to contact the bank to reactivate the account as you have not accessed for a year. Also the old addresses or other details will never be loaded. Loading too much data/information is always bad because we need too much support to carry it and also the other parts of the system starts slowing down.
In case of container managed persistence, application servers (GlassFish/JBoss/Websphere/Weblogic) probably have other mechanisms to optimize. Of course there is danger of introducing a bug when logics are introduced and should involve extensive testing to verify the efficiency of introduced logic.
Is this something which is appropriate or am I missing something?

  • Subscription for one / more computer (all objects)

    Hello,
    I want to create a subscription for all Objects that are detected on a Computer.
    Do you have any good idea except create a Static Group with all Objects that I searched for that computer Name?
    Basically: for a Computers that is a Domain Controller, and DNS I need to create a subscription for all types of alerts: Windows, DC, Agent, DNS to be sent to a person.
    Thank you for the feedback

    Hi There,
    1. You can create a group with the required objects you want.
    2. Select the option "Created by a specific rule / Monitor.
    3. In that option Select the management pack where all your Rules for DNS & DC alerts are kept and click search. So it will give you all the list of alerts inside it related to it.
    4. Select all the alerts.
    5. Again in the criteria option set the resolution state to New.
    So what the above will do is if there is any alert you selected all from the above appear against the class / object in the group with the resolution state new will fire a email alert to your mailbox.

  • What's the best network for distributed processing?

    Hey guys,
    I have a network of three computers... I have distributed processing all set up on Compressor, and it runs really fast through the ethernet connection I have set up. 
    What's the absolute best way to set up this network?
    The macbooks both have a firewire input, but that's not being used to transfer the data in this case... it's all ethernet. 
    The mac pro has 2 firewire ports... leaving one potentially open for a network. 
    Do you think it would be beneficial to set up a firewire network for these three computers, or is there any reason why a simple ethernet network is preferable?
    Thanks in advance for all of your help...
    Oh!  One more question!
    If I was going to set up a firewire network, how would I do it?
    ---Trav

    Hi MrWizard.. do you have Compressor.app V4.1? (Dec 2013) installed or the older ones.? According to you sign you're on older OSX 10.7.5.
    The idea you post is sound HOWEVER... it's somewhat fickle and troubesome.. I'm assuming old V3.4 Compressor/Qmaster later ....
    Hardware:
    You can CERTAINLY use the Firewire ports as NETWORKS NIC using IP over FW.. It certain works between TWO macs as Ive used it yeas back..
    Assume you have a FW hub or use the single  FW HUB  in the MACPRO ... or scout around for a fw switch  800 (if they exist!) or just use a FW800 to 400 cables and an cheap legacy FW400 hub... I saw one once in Taipei!
    Simply on each configure the Firewrie INTERFACEs in the System Preferences / Network .... (+ add interface etc etc), apply
    Either
    hard code (manual) an IP address (1.1.1.x)  for  each,
    Install and deploy OSX SERVER on your MACPRO (IP - 1.1.1.1) and set up a simple DNS and domain "mrwizards.cool_network"  for that FW subnet (1.1.1.1x)  then DHCP server  for that subnet so that when the two MACBOOM PROS  connect tey get a an IP address such as 1.1.1.2-253 and assign machine names. Set the dsn serahc on each machine to add 1.1.1.1 (your macpro to resolve machine names0. More work however easier to manage.
    test your local DNS between the machines or TRACEROUTE / PING the machines from each other and verify the IP path over the FW NICs works ok.
    as long as you can ascertain the IP traffic around your 1.1.1.x subnet the better.
    Once you configure these as a separate NETWORK, you will need some way to provide FireWire however... this is only the start of your headaches. Im assuming you are on an olde Compressor/Qmaster V3.5 with legacy FCS 3 suite... true/false?
    The configurations takes patience and trial and error and some clear understanding of what you are trying ot acheive if its really worth the effort.
    TRANSCODING over nodal cluster: AKA DISTRIBUTED SEGMENTED MULTIPASS TRANSCODING!
    ON paper you'd imaging the throughput would be worth it. Sadly the converse is true!.. it often takes LONGER to use a bunch of nodes rather than submission on a SINGLE machine using a CLUSTER on a single machine....
    the elapsed time for the submission relies on the processing speed of the slowest machine and its network connection
    final assembly of the quicktime peices for the object
    hmmmm often quickier just to use a single CLUSTER on the MACPRO!.
    You MAY want to consider this option assuming the hardware you have mentioned:
    what about this instead of FireWre NICS?
    USE Gbit ETHERNET allaround.
    Steps:
    Set the WIFI on the host to use the WIFI only network for you usual internal activities and bonjour (.local) etc.. assume low IP traffic. - all works oK
    OPTION: on the MACPRO dedicate EN0 (first ethernet NIC to WIFI router). Turn off WIFI on MACPRO.
    Utilise the ETHERNET (EN0 - builit in ethernet) on the MACBOOKs (older ones? .. will be very slow BTW)
    connect the MACPRO Second ETHERNET, and the MACBOOk (pros?) ethenets to a cheap 8 x port Ethernet HUB switch ($HK150 / €15) they are all switches these days). This gives you an isolated subnet... no router needed. Plug in the hub/switch and power on!
    look at step 3. above .. QUICK START: just hard code IP addresses as follows in each SYSTEM PREF/network):
    MAC PRO ip 1.1.1.1
    MACBOOK (Pro) #2 : ip address 1.1.1.2
    MACBOOK (Pro) #2 : ip address 1.1.1.3
    test the 1.1.1.1-1.1.1.3 network... (ping or traceroute)
    V3.5 Compressor and Qmaster for ye old FCS - dig in to QMASTER PREFS as:
    MACPRO - set servces and ALSO MAKE CONTROLLER., set NETWORK INTERFACE to the interface on the ETHERNET 2 (not all). set instances to more than 1 one instance but NOT max! Tick MANAGED SERVICES
    MACBOO (pro)'s set servces only, set NETWORK INTERFACE to the interface on the ETHERNET  (not all). set instances to more than 1 one instance but NOT max! Tick MANAGED SERVICES
    launch APPLE QADMINISTRATOR.app and make a managed cluster - easy (DONT waste your time with Quickcluster!.. just dont)
    IMPORTANT: make sure teh SOURCE and TARGETS of ALL the pbjects tha the transcodes will use are AVAILALBE (mounted and access) on ALL the machines that you want to participate.
    set up batch and make sure SEGMENTED is ticked in the inspector..... submit the job
    See how you go.
    However if you have Compressor V4.1 (dec 2013) then just set your network up and it should just work with out all teh voodoo in the previous steps.
    Post your results for others to see.

  • Distributing objects around a circle

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I post it to a wrong section.
    I'm a begginer with Illustrator and I've got a problem with distributing objects around a circle in Illustrator cs6.
    What I'm trying to do is to have these acrhed lines (as per the top three curves you can see below) go around a circle, surrounding it (don't know if i explain myself good...). I was using both blend tool and rotate tool and it doesnt work for me the way I want it. All the time its sort of upside down at the bottom of the cirle and totaly twisted on the left and right... I guess im doing smth wrong, but I just can't find anything helpfull on web..
    Would appreciate it a lot if you could helo me!
    Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, its not my 1st language.

    Cat Nat,
    A completely different way, which may be (un)usable for your purpose is to create the circle with a Stroke Weight corresponding to the width of the arched lines and then in the Stroke palette/panel  apply Dashed line with Round Caps and suitable Dash and Gap values (you may try different values until you get it right).
    You may use the free Adjust Dashes script available here,
    http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html
    to get an even distribution/final adjustment.

  • Deny user based policy for a specific computer

    I have a user based policy that deploys software for specific users when they log in to their Windows 7 workstations.  
    Some of these same users also have login access to a test server.  I am trying to prevent the software deployment policies from being processed when users login to this test server.  I have denied the 'read' and the 'Apply group Policy' security settings
    to the test computer, but since it is a user based policy I believe these computer level denies are being ignored.  
    I have looked into loopback processing but I cannot grasp how it would fit in to my environment.     Do I enable the loopback processing in the same policy that deploys the software?  
    Any suggestions?

    Use loopback merge in the policy of the software that I want to keep?  Or in the Policy I want to deny?
    I finally got it to work.
    I moved the computer object to a new OU and blocked inheritance.<o:p></o:p>
    I created a new policy that only has Loopback Policy enabled (replace).
     I linked that new policy to the OU that has the test server.<o:p></o:p>
    I removed any loopback processing settings from any other policies. I left them at 'Not Configured'.<o:p></o:p>
    For the software I was trying to block I modified its security permission to read DENY for the computer object (Computer Name) of the test computer
    .  ('Apply group policy' was left blank).<o:p></o:p>
    I then linked all other software deploy policies to this new OU and modified the security filtering from authenticated users to whichever users specifically
    needed the software.<o:p></o:p>
    Ran Gpresult /R /scope computer and verified that the only computer policy the server was receiving was my loopback policy<o:p></o:p>
    Reboot test server.
    <o:p>Thanks everybody for your help!</o:p>

  • Blend tool problems with distributing objects.

    Hi Everyone,
    First time here so I hope this is the appropriate forum locale for this specific question - of which I have not found a solution online or in these forums.
    I have dealt with this problem for quite some time and am sick of manually correcting blends so I am seeking help.
    Here is the situation:
    I draw a simple oval, copy it and move it somewhat diagonally across the page.  I then resize the oval slightly (thinner) but retain the same amount of anchor points.
    I then rotate the oval about 2 degrees.
    Next I apply a blend - hoping it will blend the two shapes evenly (like it did in pre CS versions) but the blended ovals get closer to each other on one side than the other - so it seems to be a weighting problem... so I checked out each of the blend options and even tried the various methods of making a blend (via panel, or pull down menu, hot keys, etc.)  Nothing works to get the shapes evenly spaced.  Distribution and alignment panel offers no help either and in some cases makes the objects distribute more unevenly.
    Summary:  If I make two IDENTICAL shapes/ovals, the blend works fine... but once I modify one of the ovals, before or after the blend is made, even in the slightest bit, the distribution spacing gets skewed/uneven.
    I don't think it is a bug since I've had this problem since early CS days.   Is anyone else having this problem?
    I hope it is an easy fix.  I am using a PC version of Illustrator, if that matters in this case.
    Thank you ahead of time for your consideration and help.

    I've tried all those options (distribute spacing, distribute objects, specified distance, specified steps, etc) without success... it wound up just being the 'ol visual issue described above and the manner in which I set up my illustration.
    So after I create a blend, I try the various options to get the objects to align / distribute correctly (to fix the visual issue), but after, say, applying "distribute spacing", the ovals arc slightly so that they are not aligned in a straight manner from end to end.
    I then try other alignment options and nothing seemed to correct the alignment from one oval to the next... thus I had to correct it manually.
    Anyways, I found that if I set up my illustration so as to do my oval blends on a horizontal or vertical axis (without transforming one side, but keeping them all the same - in a grid-like pattern) and then Free Transform the group of ovals afterwards to indicate perspective and the like -- that seems to be a reasonable solution.
    I also learned a new trick in this process / forum post.
    I won't be able to reply for a while... All is well now and I gotta get to work, so it's literally back to the drawing board for me.
    Thanks again!   =)

    My computer that had Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it was hit by lightening and cannot be repaired. I want to get a copy of Photoshop for my new computer. I have an open case, but I cannot get Adobe to respond to it. I have sent the serial# and a copy of the license. Every time I try the chat function to get help, I get dropped with the message "chat is no longer available." I WANT MY PHOTOSHOP!

    This is a user forum, not a channel to address Adobe. As your fellow users and volunteers, we'll be happy to help you if we can.
    You can download the CS6 trial version just like anybody else.
    Once you download it, you can install it, input your serial number, register it and apply all necessary updates.
    An alternative, if you know how to access your Adobe account, under My Products you'll find your Photoshop CS6 registration, next to which you should find a link to download CS6 if you originally bought it as a download

    @sweetpea79;
      There is a few problems with your post.
    Your claim that the asus laptops will "play any game out there that is compatible" is not very helpful.  Many games will *NOT* be compatible with either of those laptops.  Stating they will "play any game out there that is compatible" is meaningless.   That exact statement applies to every computer sold, latop, desktop, or netbook. 
    Your claim that "desktops are boat anchors" that are "not very protable" are humorous at best.  When it comes to gaming and game compatibility, a desktop will always be a better choice than a laptop.
    Your anti-virus recommendation is not very useful.  There are other anti-virus products on the market that are tested to be better than Trend Micro.  No solution will give perfedct protection.  To claim that all other anti-virus solutions will leave the user unprotected is completely false.
    You claim you were "hacked" because your "cursor moved" without you moving it, when this phenomenon is a know issue with the Microsoft audio control bar; it is enabled by default and can cause the issue you describe with certain sound cards.
    Your claim that Norton allowed you to be infected is also misleading.  Chances are whatever infection you had would not have been caught by Trend Micro, either.  FWIW, Norton has won far more editor choice awards and top ratings from reviewers than Trend Micro.  I am not arguing which is better...just stating a fact.
    In short, although you are a fan of Asus laptops and Trend Micro, it does not mean either is the best choice for the OP.

  • Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system

    Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system as compared to Development system.
    Hi,
    The data for an info object Key in the DSO was 00000000000000000000000000123. I removed Alpha for the info object and data was corrected to 123 in the DSO in development system.
    Now, when i transported the info object without alpha to quality and loaded data into DSO, the data is still the same with leading zeros.
    I dont want to write routine to remove leading zeros, as I have values as 0. If i write routine, all zeros will be removed and this will be blank.
    Both development and quality have same patches applied and are on same level.
    Why is this strange behaviour in quality system...
    Any inputs?? please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
      Did you drop and reload the data after changing the conversion?

  • How to process for an ECC 6.0 upgrade for different objects (RICEF)?

    Hi eaxperts,
    I am new to upgrad project. Can anyone pls. tell me in details things that need to be undertaken in an ECC upgrade project for different objects e.g. RICEF and How should I process for the same?
    Please also tell me the important T-codes for the same and how to use them.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Sandy

    Hi,
    Please read below lines.I think u can get some knowledge about UPGRADE.
    u2022     System preparation and stack level patch upgrade u2013 Basis Team
    First of all, the basis team installs the Latest SAP version on the hardware and they apply all the general patches up to the latest stack level. All the stack levels of various patches u2013 Basis, ABAP, XI etc should be brought up to the latest level by the basis team. In case, all the stack levels are not the latest, it might create problems like new objects coming into the SPAU during the upgrade or thereafter u2013 these will be explained in sections below.. So it is a good practice to get the system to the latest stack level.
    u2022     SPDD Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
    This transaction code SPDD is the core step in an upgrade project. The system compares all the dictionary objects u2013 data elements, database tables and structures of the latest system (say ECC) with the previous or the old system (Say 4.6c). These all elements are present under two nodes u2013 with modification assistant and without modification assistant. Objects present under with modification assistant have the modification assistant u2018ONu2019 and we can see the modification logs.
    u2022     Up gradation of the system u2013 Basis Team
    After the SPDD phase is complete, the basis team prepares the system for an UPGRADE u2013 i.e. the old system would be replaced by the new system. In this phase, the system asks for the SPDD request u2013 the single request which generates and activate all the dictionary objects present in SPDD phase in the new system u2013 ECC. If the request do not contains the same objects which were present in SPDD, the system shows a danger alarm u2013 stating that this SDPP request do not contains all the desired objects and it might make the system unstable. In case any other objects are missing, there and then it should be put in the SPDD request.
    u2022     SPAU Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
    The SPAU transaction contains the objects u2013 Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes, Function Modules etc. which have difference in the Latest SAP request and the previous ones. This SPAU phase can be done either just after SPDD or after the Up gradation of the system by the Basis team.

  • SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT - Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties.

    Hi, can anyone help me troubleshoot the following please:
    Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties. DDRs were not generated for 524 object(s) that had warnings while reading
    critical properties.
    Possible cause: OU name or Security Group name may contain at least a Unicode character which has conversion problem between Unicode and your system ANSI locale(e.g. Korean characters in English System Locale). The site server might not have access to
    some properties of this object. The container specified might not have the properties available.
    Solution: Please verify the Active Directory schema for properties that are not replicated or locked. Refer to the discovery logs for more information.
    Does the error relate to 524 security groups? There are several invalid search paths listed in adsgdis.log, are these related?
    Thanks,
    Dale

    You'll have to examine the log to determine exactly which objects its referring to. Although this is in the context of group discovery, group discovery still creates DDRs for computer objects within those groups so it could be either groups or computers.
    This is not a search path issue though as it's clear that the discovery process found 524 different objects, but as stated, it could not properly read criticial properties of those objects and thus did not create DDRs for them.
    As mentioned, reading the log in detail will list the objects individually and the reason it could not create a DDR for it.

  • GATP: ATP bucket assignment for supply elements - how to use BucketLogic ?

    Hello experts,
    I have a little issue with applying correct bucket logic - hoping somebody has a hint for me on this.
    My case:
    I have a PurchaseOrder coming in on Date_X, Time 00:00 in R3 --> same day and time in Product view in APO
    I have a ProductionOrder coming in on Date_X, Time 24:00 in R3 --> same day and time = 23:59:59 in Product view in APO
    .. this means both elements should create ATP supply qty to confirm a SalesOrders for Date_X
    My general ATP settings in APO are very simple:
    "ShiftReceipts" = 00:00, "IssueLimit" = 00:00 (there is no offset defined etc., demand & supply bucket are in synch and should behave like R3 ATP check)
    Now if I apply in the "progressiv" Bucket Logic in the ATP group
    --> the PurchaseOrder becomes available a day before Date_X (problem, too early)
    --> the ProductionOrder becomes available on Date_X (correct)
    Now if I apply in the "conservative" Bucket Logic in the ATP group
    --> the PurchaseOrder becomes available on Date_X (correct)
    --> the ProductionOrder becomes available on Date_X+1 (problem, too late)
    I believe its somehow linked to how SAP is handling the supply element assignment to an ATP bucket in case it's falling exactly onto a "bucket cut line" ...any help is very appreciated !
    Regards
    Thomas

    Hello Michael,
    tks for the hint. I'll give it try but ...
    I want to avoid "exact" logic since SAP is not recommending it for performance reasons (we are running multiple times a day massive BOPs for several plants). Basically we want to gain the BOP performance advantages over R3 using the ATP time series aggregation with gATP - therefore I'm playing around with "conservative", progressive" in the ATP bucket logic.
    I simply need to have all supply elements of a day in R3 assigned to the same day as available qty in APO. I wonder why such very simple case is not managable in APO - meanwhile my guess is that we have a bug here (using SCM5.0 SP13) - but I haven't found anything related in OSS.
    Regards
    Thomas

  • Applying a texture to an OrientedShape3D object?

    greetings,
    i am having problems applying a texture to an OrientedShape3D object. i am following the "recipe" and related examples in the j3d tutorial's chapter 7 on textures. my image is a 32x32 gif file that i want to texture onto an OrientedShape3D object that has 4 vertices:
    the "face" vertices for the OrientedShape3D object are:
    0.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f,
    0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    2.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f
    the color for the "face" is red:
    1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
    the texture vertices are:
    0.0f, 1,0f,
    0.0f, 0.0f,
    1.0f, 0.0f,
    1.0f, 1.0f
    as i wrote my code follows the tutorial's recipe whereby i a create an OrientedShape3D, then the textured appearance, and then i apply that appearance to the OrientedShape3D object.
    when the shape is rendered i do not see the image. rather i see a color from the image but that color occupies the entire face. if i use the texture loader object to, say, scale the image then i see a rendering behavior that looks like the image is folded on itself similar to the problems the tutorial says will happen if the texture vertices are not correct.
    when i do not apply my textured appearance to the OrientedShape3D object the behavior is ok - the face of the shape is always oriented towards my eye, and remains red, as i rotate, scale, and translate the object..

    When you import a 3D object into Photoshop it has to be UV mapped meaning that there will be a JPEG referenced by the material file associated with the object. When you load the object, it is the JPEG which is actually a Texture layer. You can't access it with the 3D tools active but either before or after you apply the 3D adjustments you can double click on the specific texture layer which opens in a new window and then use any of the normal 2D painting/editing tools. When you save the changes to that file it will be applied to the model.
    Try opening a couple of the sample 3D models in the Goodies folder on the Photoshop install disk. Most do have JPEGs associated with them which means you will have an editable texture layer but one (at least) called Simple Robot I think has only a .mtl file which means you will see color and placement, perhaps a bump map, but there is no UV texture, just a procedural made inside the 3D app. Those aren't editable in Photoshop nor can you add a texture layer. A 3D model either has one which you can edit or it doesn't.
