Biztalk Health Monitor for BTS 2010

Hi,
Just moving through the blogs on MSDn, I found out that BHM tool is now available for BTS 2010, my question is do we have to pay any more cost to run this snap in with our licensed Biztalk or not??

Guidelines for Health Monitoring for TimesTen

This document provides some guidance on monitoring the health of a TimesTen
datastore. Information is provided on monitoring the health of the
datastore itself, and on monitoring the health of replication.
There are two basic mechanisms for monitoring TimesTen:
1. Reactive - monitor for alerts either via SNMP traps (preferred) or
by scanning the Timesten daemon log (very difficult) and reacting
to problms as they occur.
2. Proactive - probe TimesTen periodically and react if problems, or
potential problems, are detected.
This document focusses on the second (proactive) approach.
First, some basic recommendations and guidelines relating to monitoring
TimesTen:
1. Monitoring should be implemented as a separate process which maintains
a persistent connection to TimesTen. Monitoring schemes (typically based
on scripts) that open a connection each time they check TimesTen impose
an unnecessary and undesireable loading on the system and are discouraged.
2. Many aspects of monitoring are 'stateful'. They require periodic
sampling of some metric maintained by TimesTen and comparing its
value with the previous sample. This is another reason why a separate
process with a persistent connection is desireable.
3. A good monitoring implementation will be configurable since the values
used for some of the chcks may depend on e.g. the TimesTen configuration
in use or the workload being handled.
MONITORING THE HEALTH OF A DATASTORE
====================================
At the simples level, this can be achieved by performing a simple SELECT
against one of the system tables. The recommended table to use is the
SYS.MONITOR table. If this SELECT returns within a short time then the
datastore can be considered basically healthy.
If the SELECT does not return within a short time then the datastroe is
stuck in a low level hang situation (incredibly unlikely and very serious).
More likely, the SELECT may return an error such as 994 or 846 indicating
that the datastore has crashed (again very unlikely, but possible).
A slightly more sophisticated version would also include an update to a
row in a dummy table. This would ensure that the datastore is also capable
of performing updates. This is important since if the filesystem holding
the trsnaction logs becomes full the datastore may start to refuse write
operations while still allowing reads.
Now, the SYS.MONITOR table contains many useful operational metrics. A more
sphisticated monitoring scheme could sample some of these metrics and
compute the delta between subsequent samples, raising an alert if the
delta exceeds some (configurable) threshold.
Some examples of metrics that could be handled in this way are:
PERM_IN_USE_SIZE and PERM_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER compared to PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE
(to detect if datastore is in danger of becoming full).
TEMP_IN_USE_SIZE and TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER compared to TEMP_ALLOCATED_SIZE
(ditto for temp area).
XACT_ROLLBACKS - excessive rollbacks are a sign of excessive database
contention or application logic problems.
DEADLOCKS - as for XACT_ROLLBACKS.
LOCK_TIMEOUTS - excessive lock timeouts usually indicate high levels of
contention and/or application logic problems.
CMD_PREPARES & CMD_REPREPARES - it is very important for performance that
applications use parameterised SQL statements that they prepare just once
and then execute many times. If these metrics are continuously increasing
then this points to bad application programming which will be hurting
performance.
CMD_TEMP_INDEXES - if this value is increasing then the optimiser is
comntinually creating temporary indices to process certain queries. This
is usually a serious performance problem and indicates a missing index.
LOG_BUFFER_WAITS - of this value is increasing over timne this indicates
inadequate logging capacity. Yiou may need to increase the size of the
datastore log buffer (LogBuffSize) and log file size (LogFileSize). If that
does not alleviate the problem you may need to change your disk layout or
even obtain a higher performance storage subsystem.
LOG_FS_READS - this indicates an inefficieny in 'log snoop' processing as
performed by replication and the XLA/JMS API. To alleviate this you should
try increasing LogBuffSize and LogFileSize.
Checking these metrics is of course optional and not necessary for a basic
healthy/failed decision but if you do check them then you will detect more
subtle problems in advance and be able to take remedial action.
MONITORING THE HEALTH OF REPLICATION
====================================
This is a little more complex but is vital to achieve a robust and reliable
system. ideally, monitorting should be implemented at both datstores, the
active and the standby. There are many more failure modes possible for
a replicated system than for a standalone datastore and it is not possible
to ennumerate them all here. However the information provided here should
be sufficient to form the basis of a robist monitoring scheme.
Monitoring replication at the ACTIVE datastore
1.     CALL ttDataStoreStatus() and check result set;
If no connections with type 'replication' exists, conclude that
replication agents are stopped, restart the agents and skip
next steps.
It is assumed here that the replication start policy is 'norestart'.
An alarm about unstable replication agents should be raised
if this is Nth restart in M seconds (N and M are configuration parameters).
The alarm can later be cleared when the agents stayed alive K
seconds (K is configuration parameter).
2.     CALL ttReplicationStatus() and check result set;
This returns a row for every replication peer for this datastore.
If the pState is not 'start' for any peer, raise an alarm about paused or
stopped replication and skip rest of the steps.
It is assumed that master cannot help the fact that state is not
'start'. An operator may have stopped/paused the replication or
TimesTen stopped the replication because of fail threshold
strategy. In former case the operator hopefully starts the replication
sooner or later (of course, after that TimesTen may stop it again
because of the fail threshold strategy). In latter case the standby
side monitor process should recognise the fact and duplicate the data
store with setMasterRepStart-option which sets state back to 'start'.
If for any peer, lastMsg > MAX (MAX is a configuration parameter), raise
an alarm for potential communication problems.
Note that if replication is idle (nothing to replicate), or there is
very little replication traffic, the value for lastMsg may become as
high as 60 seconds without indicating any problem. The test logic
should cater for this (i.e. MAX must be > 60 seconds).
3.     CALL ttBookmark();
Compute the holdLSN delta between the values from this call and the
previous call and if the delta is greater than maximum allowed
(configuration parameter), raise an alarm about standby
that is too far behind. Continue to next step.
Notice that maximum delta should be less than FAILTHRESHOLD * logSize.
4.     CALL ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus(datastore, host);
This step is only needed if you are using RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE
with the optional DISABLE RETURN feature.
If disabled is 1, raise an alarm for disabled return service.
Continue to next step. If RESUME RETURN policy is not enabled we could,
of course, try to enable return service again (especially when DURABLE
COMMIT is OFF).
There should be no reason to reject TimesTen own mechanisms that
control return service. Thus, no other actions for disabled return
service.
Monitoring replication at the STANDBY datastore
1.     CALL ttDataStoreStatus();
If no connections with type 'replication' exists, conclude that
replication agents are stopped, restart the agents and skip
next steps.
It is assumed that replication start policy is 'norestart'.
An alarm about unstable replication agents should be raised
if this is Nth restart in M seconds (N and M are configuration parameters).
The alarm can later be cleared when the agents stayed alive K
seconds (K is configuration parameter).
2.     Call SQLGetInfo(...,TT_REPLICATION_INVALID,...);
If the status is 1, this indicates that the active store has marked this store
as failed due to it being too far out of sync due to log FAILTHRESHOLD.
Start recovery actions by destroying the datastore and recreating via a
'duplicate' operation from the active.
3.     Check 'timerecv' value for relevant row in TTREP.REPPEERS
If (timerecv - previous timerecv) > MAX (MAX is a configuration parameter),
raise an alarm for potential communication problems.
You can determine the correct row in TTREP.REPPEERS by first getting the
correct TT_STORE_ID value from TTREP.TTSTORES based on the values in
HOST_NAME and TT_STORE_NAME (you want the id corresponding to the active
store) and then using that to query TTREP.REPPEERS (you can use a join if
you like).
The recovery actions that should be taken in the event of a problem with
replication depend on several factors:
1. The application requirements
2. The type of replication configuration
3. The replication mode (asynchronous, return receipt or return twosafe)
that is in use
Consult the Timesten replication guide for information on detailed recovery
procedures for each combination.
================================ END ==================================

The information in the forum article is the abridged text of a whitepaper I wrote recommending best practice for building a monitoring infrastructure for TimesTen. i.e. you write an 'application' in C, C++ or Java that performs these monitoring activities and run it continually in production against your datastores. Various aspects of the behaviour of the application could be controlled by configurable parameters; these are not TimesTen parameters but parameters defined and used by the monitoring application.
In the specific case you mentioned, the 'lastMsg' value returned by ttReplicationStatus is the number of seconds since the last message was received from that peer. The monitoring application would compare this against some meaningful threshold (maybe 30 seconds) and if lastMsg is > that value, raise an alarm. To allow flexibility, the value compared against )MAX) should be configurable.
Does that make sense?

Cisco ACE 4710 - Health Monitoring for Real Servers

Hi,
I have setup the following health probe to check for the existence of a specific web page. My intention is that when the web page is removed, the health check fails and the rserver status changes to 'out of service'. Unfortunately, when I remove the web page, I see the health check fail, and the rserver state change to 'PROBE-FAILED', however the rserver does not go 'out of service' and continues to respond to requests.
Can anyone see where I'am going wrong?
Health check probe config
probe http live_http_int
interval 15
passdetect interval 60
request method get url /loadbalancer/internal.html
expect status 199 201

Hi syannetwork,
I think you have to "force" the failed server to close the connection when it has failed. Otherwise it will still serve the available HTML pages.
Have a look at the "Configuring the ACE Action when a Server Fails" in the "Cisco Application Control Engine Module Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide" and let me know if the following command helped:
conf t
serverfarm host ServerFarm
failaction purge
Have a good WE.

Battery Health monitor for iphone 4

hi i would just like to know if there is something that can measure the battery health of iphone 4 i did purchase accura because it appeared to show battery health in the ad on app store but it didn't

There's an app called 'iBackupBot' for windown and mac, by a company called iCopyBot. It has a free trial and allows you to measure the current battery capacity, they have a guide here.
It worked for me with an iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4- you do have to quit itunes and unlock the device for it to work.

Did you have Cloud start failures or a missing health monitor?

Calling all CQ Cloud'ers.
Hi, My name is Gary Gilchrist. I work with the engineering team for Adobe CQ Cloud.
Today I was running some diagnostics on our site. I see that there are a lot of you out there who have got as far as starting your own CQ Cloud. Congratulations!
But I also see a number of Clouds that have been attempted to be started by different tenants (that's you :)) and never made it as far as the "running" state. There are sometimes good reasons for this, sometimes related to configuration of your Amazon AWS key information. But we're still in Beta and I must admit, we know of a few bugs we still need to iron out.
I also see that some Clouds were started successfully, yet I do not see the automatic health monitoring that we record for your Cloud. We do that after a Cloud starts so that you can see the CPU, Memory and Disk health of your CQ instances running in your Cloud. You should see this as little green bars in your Cloud detail page.
I have two questions:
Did you attempt to start a Cloud (and you believe your AWS credential is valid) yet it failed to completely start up?
Did you start a Cloud successfully, yet you continued to see "unavailable" (gray bar) as the heath status for ALL the CQ instances in your Cloud? (please note that health monitoring for the Dispatcher is not working. It will fixed with our next update to the site, coming shortly).
If you did encounter 1 or 2 above please drop a reply on this thread giving only the name of your Cloud (no other personal information necessary) plus anything else you think is useful. We would like to look into it.
Thanks from the whole team here at Adobe for trying out CQ Cloud!
Gary.

I attached more details about the failure in thread Unable to start the cloud

Time sync monitor for all windows member servers

How to monitor time sync issue on all the member servers and domain controllers. Can we monitor through scom 2007 r2. Specially we need an alert when all the member servers are not in time sync.
B John

There is no monitor for exactly your ask.
The AD management pack includes a Time Service Health monitor for DCs that makes sure the time service is running:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0c921fa7-45ed-4bee-8f53-c92c750f6cbf/scom-module-for-monitoring-time-sync-issues?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
Here is my "domain time tip:"
Select your preferred time server from this list
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/NTP/. For example 'tick.usno.navy.mil'.
Then run these commands on your PDC emulator of the domain:
W32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"<DNS-name-of-time-server>"
W32tm /config /reliable:yes
W32tm /config /update
W32tm /resync
Net stop w32time
Net start w32time
If you execute these commands, AD defaults will cause all your member servers to discover the domain time standard and update to it.
Good luck,

Consolidation - T Code CXCD Period scrolling not enabled for FY 2010

Hi Masters
I am new to EC - CS and having some issues with Display options in T Code CXCD - Data Monitor
When I enter period 01 and Fiscal Year 2010, system displays following message:
Period 001/2010 is not a valid period in consolidation cycle 001
Message no. G00085
Then it does not show me the arrows on the menu bar to scroll from period to period.
But if I enter period 01 and fiscal year 2009, these arrows are displayed.
What should be done to enable these arrows for fiscal year 2010 also?
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks
Satya

Hi Masters
Thanks for your views and replies.
I found out what is causing this issue. We need to maintain Delta years under "Assignment of Cons Frequencies to Cons Cycle". This is accessible using T Code CX5TD.
I had assigned one more year as data value with same frequency as earlier years.
This had solved my issue of navigating arrows in T Code CXCD - Data Monitor for FY 2010.
Thanks
Satya

Https health monitor not working on ACE.

Hello Guys,
Hope you are all doing well, i need some help in setting up my https health monitor for real servers.
I am configuring it on ACE appliance 4710 but the probe appears failing.
The VIP is listening on port 443 and 8080, the cert is not uploaded to ACE but eventually it will be on ACE so SSL will terminate on ACE but not at the minute.
The user don't want to enable port 80 on server so will need https health probe configuring. Following is my config for https health probe but it is failing.

PHH104-N3-ACE-1/N3#
I am confused with the last status code which shows 302 any help from your side will be a life line for me.
Regards,
Amjad Hashim.

Hi Amjad,
I see the last disconnect err: "Received invalid status code" which means that ACE is not getting what is expected (code 200) for it to mark the server as passed.
Also, i see you have configured url "request method head url //ssdsd/servlet/SDLogin", why are you using two slashes "//", can you try with only one?
Also, if you configure probe on TCP PORT 443 does it pass? I see last disconnect err: connection reset by server as well and that could be due to the fact that service was there on server. Looks unlikely since above probes failed due to wrong status code which means that SSL handshake happened.
You can take a pcap on server as well as ACE to see what is going on. You might need to use private key to decrypt the captures if the failure is after SSL handshake has completed to see what status code server is sending. You can also use TCP 443 based probe as workaround till you can arrange pcaps and figure out what is wrong.

Kanwal

Satellite L500-1XD - cannot find an update for PC health monitor

This TBS advises updates to PC health monitor and HDD/SDD alert.
HDD/SDD alert has a published update in the relevant downloads section but I cannot find an update for PC health monitor.
Any one got any bright ideas ?
Otherwise this seems quite a balanced system.

Hi Paolo30,
Thanks for your contribution. I agree with your model designation
I would like to download ver 1.5.6.0 but it does not seem to be listed on the download list (Two and a quarter pages long) for the L500-1XD on the Toshiba-Europe website. I am using I.E.8
Where are you seeing this listed ? Could you give me a URL please ?
It is an important update as it resolves a conflict between video streaming from HD and SMART HD messages as described in the TSB.
The only upgrade that is tagged as 1.5.6.0 is the Bullitin Board and this does not sound like the correct type of application. There was obviously a major update on 21/6/2010 there are 30 odd updates with that date.
Kindest Regards

How do I use my iMac(late 2009) as a monitor for my MBP(2012) or my MBP(late 2010) without software?

I currently have a late 2009 iMac, a 2012 MBP, a mid 2010 MBP and a MinDisplay Port (MDP) male to male cable. I am trying to either use the iMac a second monitor for one of the MBPs or mirror the display.
The iMac has a MDP port and is running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
The MBP 2010 has a MDP port and is running OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion)
The MBP 2012 has a Thunderbolt port and is running OS X 10.9 (Maverics)
When I connect the 2010 MBP to the iMac with the MDP cable the screen of the iMac goes black and the MBP flashes blue. I have been looking for a solution and I have tried:
Rebooting them in the order of: connecting the cable, turing on the MBP, then turing on the iMac
Whilst they are on simply plugging the cable between the two
Connecting them with the cable while they are on, then pressing cmd-f1 on the MBP
Connecting them with the cable while they are on, then pressing cmd-f1 on the iMac
Pressing cmd-f2 on the iMac, whilst there are connected, only toggles a black screen on the iMac
Pressing cmd-f2 on the MBP doesn't do anything
Every time I connect the MBP 2012 to the iMac with the MDP cable, the MBP screen goes black and the computor screen becomes unresponsive but the screen stays on and I have to reboot the MBP.
I will really appreciate anyone who has any information on this topic.
Thanks

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
the TV: LG Smart tv

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences
