Glassfish LB Plug-in limit?

Dear all,
I configured the SUN Webserver7 with Glassfish LB plugin.
It worked fine with Glassfish in normal SOAP request.
Unfortunately, in my real case, each SOAP request might need about 1-4 seconds to response back to client.
So I used Thread.sleep(1000~4000) to simulate the request. The reason why it takes so long is that in my
SOAP service it will send another SOAP to another server not in my domain.
Normally without sleep(N) seconds, the Glassfish's throughput is about 800 TPS on 2GB Head with 4core Q8200 CPU
on CentOS 5.3.
But with sleep 1000 ms, the throughput drop to 400.
with sleep 2000 ms, the throughput drop to 300.
with sleep 10000 ms, the throughput drop to about 45 only.
I am curiouly about G.F. performance and it looks like the upper-limit of G.F. HTTP Thread-Count is 500. then my TPS
could not over 500 just because each worker thread is locked.
Another issue is once I used sleep(N), then the max. request thread through SUN webserver 7 with LB plugin can not exceed
256 thread.
If I did not use sleep(N) it worked fine. I am curious about this.
Then I switched to HAProxy, it can accept more thread than SUN did.
Can anyone helpme about this?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

should u not post this question to glassfish alias as it pertains more about glassfish than web server 7

Stop doing that.

Why is the sound low on my Ipod? When I have my earbuds in I have to have the volume almost all the way up. I have the volume limit maxed out also. Same thing when I plug it into a boombox

Why does my Ipod play at a low volume? When I have my earbuds in I have to have it at almost full volume, and when I plug it into a boombox it doesn't play as loud as the radio or a cd. I have the volume limit turned all the way up in the settings also. All my songs on my Ipod were burned from cd's(if that helps) thanks.

Sorry, I have the same issue.

Hello,
Do you get any exception in the code? Could you please be more specific?
Anyway, try to you any low-level property viewer such as MFCMAPI or Outlook Spy to explore properties. Do you see that property set?

How do I limit access of a computer that is plugged directly into the router?

I have an AirPort Extreme, Version 7.6.1 I need to limit access of a computer that's plugged by usb directly into the router. I have the MAC address for this computer and have had restrictions on it the in the past, but it was connected by WiFi then. How do I do this? Do I limit access to the Ethernet ID? I don't want to lock myself out trying to figure it out; I did that last night. Can someone advise please.

You could use OpenDNS's parental controls:
http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls
It can restrict access according to your specifications for everyone on your network.
It's free.

Error creating plug-in in Apex 4.2 using GlassFish and ORDS

Hi All,
Having problems importing plugins in Apex 4.2.4 using Glassfish and ORDS.
Error message:
ORA-20987: APEX - Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-20001: Error creating plug-in id="7527582887400956434" ORA-20001: Application ID and current security group ID are not consistent.
Error_On_Component_Type:

FINAL_EXCEPTION_HANDLER
Environment:
Linux
- Oracle11g r2 Linux database.
Windows 2012
- Glassfish version 3.1.2.2
- Oracle Restfull Data Service
Is there a way to simply log the Glassfish / ORDS environment to find out what's the database connection it's using and the security information that is passed and used in the Apex environment?
P.S:
When using the Oracle 11g WebTier HTTP Server on Windows 2012 or the IIS Thoth Gateway on Windows 2012 i can import the plug-in without any problem.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated.
Thx,
Anibal

I would start by putting this after submit, to check the contents of the array.
apex_debug.message('count:'||apex_application.g_f01.COUNT);
FOR i IN 1..apex_application.g_f01.COUNT LOOP
apex_debug.message('i:'||i||':'||apex_application.g_f01(i));
END LOOP;
Then compare the contents with your answers table.

PL/SQL Limit When Dealing with a CLOB?

Greetings,
I am constructing HTML into a CLOB in a PL/SQL routine which I later display in an APEX application. The HTML can get large, because I am constructing a grid over an image, and the grid can have a lot of columns and rows which means there can be a lot of <area shape="rect" HTML lines. I did a search and found that another person had the same problem, because there is a 32K limit with HTML contents. That was very helpful.
Thing is - I have another (maybe similar) issue. The procedure that constructs the HTML gets a numeric error when the number of cells in the grid reach a certain point. I checked and this happens when the CLOB in the procedure gets close to 32K. Sorry, it difficult to know exactly when it fails, but the most I have been able to put into the CLOB is 32,852 characters. Therefore my question - is there in internal limit in PL/SQL (or some other Oracle aspect) that is limited to 32K? The coluimn in the table that contains the HTML is a CLOB and the variable in the PL/SQL that the HTML is parsed into is a CLOB, so I thought I was good to go since the CLOB limit is 4GB. But, it looks like I may be missing something.
We are running Oracle 11i and APEX 4.0.2.00.07. If other system info is needed let me know and I will get that for you.
Also, if it helps. The code from the procedure is copied below. v_html is the variable that holds the HTML. The table column for the HTML is imagemap_html. Both v_html and imagemap_html are defined as CLOB's.
Thanks, Tony

For "Application Express 4.2.1.00.08" i created such good solution.
I downloaded freeware plugin "Enkitec Clob Load Plug-in Version: 1.0.0 - APEX Version: 4.2.0" from there:
http://www.enkitec.com/products/plugins/clob-load/help
Then i followed plugin installation steps and created a APEX page where i added an item of type "Rich Text Editor".
I found the plugin crashes when my database CLOB field is empty, also crashed when i tried to save down empty value to database.
I changed Plugin code a little, and now everything works as needed, i can save down larga data, and also empty data.
1. In Apex open plugin "Enkitec CLOB Load".
2. Navigate to "Source-->PL/SQL Code" where is text area with plugin source code.
3. there you have such code:

Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
phone.
So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud?
Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product!
Please help!
Deb

Hi,
I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

Question Re: connecting 2960C switch to 3750 stack, max number of VLANS limit...

Hypothetical question: Let's suppose for example I've got a 3750 switch stack in a data center with over 300 VLANs defined on the 3750 stack, and that stack is also my VTP domain server. I wish to connect a small compact 2960C switch (which has a max limit of 255 VLIDs) as a VTP client to the 3750 stack's VTP domain and have the port at each end of this uplink connection set up to be an 802.1q trunk, but limit the VLIDs trunked to the 2960 to just a small handful (let's say just 3 or 4 vlans) via for example something like "switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,11,18" on the uplink port of the 2960C switch. Will the mere fact that there are hundreds of VLIDs present in the vlan configs on the 3750 stack confuse the little 2960C switch's max 255 vlans limits? Or will the 2960C with its "Lan Base" software happily show all 300+ vlans present in the parent switch stack in a "show vlan" command but simply only let you activate up to the 255 limit locally on that switch?
Normally I'd just use a 3560C switch with IP Base software for this purpose and not worry about any vlan max limit, but we're having to penny-pinch the project and save a few hundred dollars on this compact switch purchase and I've never used the 2960 family before. The small compact switch will be used to host a non-Cisco, 3rd party wireless LAN controller with several APs that will have a handful of different SSIDS, each on a separate vlan, and will not be located in the data center, but in another building connected by a fiberoptic link that will carry the "trunk".
EDIT: I found an old discussion thread where someone else was faced with a similar scenario, and he discovered that even with using "switchport trunk allowed..." and "switchport trunk pruning..." commands on the interfaces at both ends of the link, that the 2960 switch would still fall out of VTP client mode into transparent mode, which make you lose the benefit of having centralized management of a VTP domain. Seems the VTP protocol will always publish the full list of vlans from the server and this blows the mind of the small switches which drop into VTP transparent mode because they cannot handle all that many spanning tree sessions. Looks like the 2960 simply cannot be used in a high-vlan-density network if you wish to preserve central VTP domain management features. Rats.

The house network machine can browse and playback/stream video fine, however at the same time the machine on the wireless shows significant slowdown when browsing the web.
The issue is defiantly on the wireless side, If i plug a machine directly into the switch and assign it a static ip, i do not get slowdown, so this is happening before it reaches the poe switch.
So many factors affect the way to stream data up and down wireless. Sure, I have seen >40 clients on 802.11a AND 802.11b radio of a single 1140 AP. But this is not good. Why? Because wireless is a very "noisy" environment. When one talks, everyone else has to stop, listen and waits for their turn. The > 80 wireless clients connected to the 1140 AP had a detected maximum speed of 11 Mbps and they couldn't get any higher than that. They couldn't get any lower than 11 Mbps because I've disabled lower data rates.
You said you hard-code the channels to 1, 6 and 11 but what is the co-channel interferrence like in your wireless environment?

Can you limit the list of AirPlay devices seen on the iPad if multiple devices exist?

We are setting up a school to use iPads, Apple Tvs and Projectors in classrooms.
- Teachers are using iPads in classrooms and we are setting up wireless projection using AirPlay.
- Each classroom has an Airport Express with a unique WiFi name.
- Each classroom has a projector with an Apple TV mounted on it and each Apple TV has a unique AirPlay name.
- An iPad and the AppleTV are the only two devices on each classroom’s wifi.
- When a teacher wants to mirror iPad to the projector, we thought they would just see their own AppleTv (projector) but, I think because the underlying school network is the same in each classroom, the teacher sees every device in the school.
Question: If you have multiple AirPlay devices on the same network, can you limit the list that one sees on an iPad?
And/or: Is there a way to set up the wifi differently so the teacher is not presented with a huge list of devices?

I wish teachers like you would leave technology you don't understand alone. The fact you were allowed to plug-in "consumer grade" access points into a enterprise network says a lot about your lack of knowledge; next you want to turn all of these low end access points into routers!? Your going configure a unique SSID on every AP setup each device to only connect to that network? Do you have any consent of wireless networks? Management?
It's teachers like you that bring down a network. Then you insult the very IT staff that work in a very thankless position in which most of their interaction occurs when something doesn't work.

Hi,
This is a problem that is not made clear in the note. What is probably happening here is that both plugins are being fired when a user logs in. OID will only read the value returned from the final plugin to fire. This can be a problem if the user authenticates correctly against the first plug-in but fails on the second. This is entirely legitimate as this note tells you to configure this way but the OID only observes the final result. The note doesn't tell us this.
Here's an example:
We've two OID User users in different containers: cn=Al is in container cn=usersA,dc=oracle,dc=com and cn=BOB is in container cn=usersB,dc=oracle,dc=com.
We have two plugins: pluginA and PluginB. Installed in that order.
When Al logs in the two plugins fire. pluginA finds Al and returns a true, but then pluginB fires and returns a false undoing the good result. OID only accepts the final answer and so rejects the user. When Bob logins in both plugins fire again but it's the second plugin that returns the answer again. This is true and bob gets in.
There's a couple of ways around this and one of the more effective ways is to associate the plugin with the dn. So in our example, we associate the pluginA to fire only for the dn cn=usersA,dc=oracle,dc=com and pluginB only to fire when a user is in cn=usersB,dc=oracle,dc=com. This gets around the problem of mulitple plugins firing and giving conflicting answers as the appropriate plugin only fires once.
I've used this solution in a realtime environment when connecting and provisioning multiple ADs into one OID and found it to be extremely effective.
Another solution is to associate the plugins with groups.
Both of these options may be configured easily by modifying the plugin properties in ODM. Don't forget to restart OID after you've made the changes.
HTH!

Weird...Is there a polyphony limit to Logic?

OK, I'm stumped.
I've just started a new composition. So far I've used only 10 tracks. Each track is using an instance of EXS24. The tracks are, from 1-10, Piano, Bass (arco), Cellos, Violas, Violins, Soft pad, Celeste, Flute, Clarinet, and Harp.
Measures 21-28 are using the harp, clarinet, flute, celeste, pad, violas and cellos. Starting in measure 29, I have the harp drop out completely, and the violins take over the melody, and I've add arco bass.
Here's the strange thing that's happening:
The problem is that everything except the flute cuts out half-way through measure 30! It's weird. It sounds just like it used to when I maxed out my polyphony on a keyboard -- back in the day when I used outboard keyboards . Everything cuts out, even the reverb. Actually, I think the flute cuts out too, but it probably doesn't seem like it because it's in a moving line, so the next note picks up right away. Everything else comes back in on the downbeat of measure 30, when each instrument has to play the next note.
I think the problem is somehow related to the harp -- even though the harp isn't playing in measure 30. If I mute the harp track, measure 30 plays just fine. Or, if I start the track in measure 27 (2 measures before the harp section ends), it'll play fine. But if I play 4 or more measures of the harp section, measure 30 cuts out completely for a second.
I've made sure that I'm never playing more than 3 notes at a time in the harp track, and have even played with the "voices" setting in the EXS24 instance on that track. But no matter how many voices I allocate to the harp (large or small) the effect on measure 30 remains the same. The only thing so far that solves the problem is muting the whole harp track.
BTW, the polyphony requirement isn't very high in measure 30 -- probably only about 12 or 13 notes, although the damper pedal is used on the piano, so that would raise it a bit, but probably no more than 6 or 10 more notes. Certainly I've taxed sequences much harder in times past. But, I thought that MAYBE I've accidentally changed some global parameter that effects what's going on, thereby screwing up measure 30. BTW, this is the only measure in the song that's effected (although the sequence is only 38 measure long at present).
Does this problem sound familiar at all? Or is this just a very bizarre problem that makes no sense to anyone? It certainly isn't making sense to me.
I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.
Thank you!
Kevin
Edited to add: BTW, I don't know if the following symptom is helpful or not, but I'm going to add it anyway, just in case it helps explain something.
As I was playing with the "voices" parameter in the EXS24 instance on the harp track, I noticed that even though there is only 3 notes playing at any given time, and no pedal is being used, the "voices used" number keeps going up and up as the sequence plays the harp section. I'm assuming that the "voices used" number doesn't go down because of a long sample length (I'm using the harp that comes with VSL's Opus series).
After the harp section ends in measure 28, the "voices used" starts going down slowly, taking about 3 measures to make it back down to zero.
Does this make sense? I don't know if this is helpful to my problem, or if it's not related at all. But, I thought I'd better include it just in case.

Sounds to me like you're experiencing "SIDS", or "sudden instrument dropout syndrome", an endemic problem with certain version of Logic. This was supposedly fixed in 7.2.3 (if memory serves), but it seems like you're running into SIDS nevertheless.
There are other bugaboos with Logic (related to the performance of audio instrument plugs) that you might want to know about. For example, some sampler plugs, including instances of EXS-24 itself will not play back correctly if you initiate playback from a downbeat. It doesn't always happen, but then again, it happens a lot to me....
For example, if you were to play a sequence back from, say, bar 54, beat 1, you might not hear some of the notes (or you'll hear bits and pieces of garbled sound), even if those notes are quantized to the downbeat, or, even if chase notes is enabled. But then, when this occurs, if you were to start from an 8th note before that point, playback is fine! It's an inexplicable and confounding problem that Logic can't play back correctly from a downbeat but will play back if you start playback off the downbeat.
Next, polyphony. Logic does not have a polyphony limit exactly... The the number of plugs that can be handled (both sampler and fx plugs) dependent on your computer's horsepower. Taking into account non-Logic-related system requirements, other programs that might be running in the background, and then Logic and the cumulative needs of your plugs, these things all draw on processor resources. It's entirely possible to use up all available resources if you have too much going on. That's what the various benchmark tests are all about -- how far can you push the computer until it says, "uncle"...
But it doesn't sound like you have a very heavy processor load, and as I said earlier, it sounds to me like you're running into SIDS.
Now...
By chance have you done any capture recording? (this is important, please let me know).
Finally, regarding the polyphony count of EXS while only a few notes are being played... you are on the right track: as long as a sample is playing (even if it's nearly inaudible during the last moments of a long sample's release), it's using a voice. So let's say that you're playing a simple 3-note pattern outlining C major (C, E, G). If you play those notes over and over again, and assuming that you're playing a harp sound with a long release, here's the deal:
The first 3 notes will indeed use 3 voices (CEG). Now you play another C, E, G. If those original 3 voices are still ringing out, you're now using 6 voices. Play C, E, G again. If those original 6 voices are still ringing out, you're now playing 9 voices. And so on.
HTH. (Please let me know if you're using capture recording.)

My PC restarts when I plug in my iPod Nano.

Hi. Can anyone please help? Sometimes when I plug in my iPod Nano my computer re-boots. It doesn't always do a clean re-boot and I have to unplug the Nano and re-set the computer a couple of times. I have seen similar problems on this forum, and no, I am not using Aluria Spyware Eliminator. I use Norton Anti-virus.
Help!

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

Error during creation of application entity for the plug-in.

Hi Experts,
As part of creating Content Database source for SES....
We,
1 Activated the Oracle Internet Directory identity plug-in for the Oracle Content
Database instance.
2) However after activating Identity plug-in for Oracle Internet Directory.... ......... we used the csPlugin.ldif file to create an application entity for the plug-in by running the following command "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -h oidHost -p OIDPortNumber -D "cn=oracle" -w password -f csPlugin.ldif" ....but in the process executing the above command.... getting the following error(we gave correct login details):
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
How can i resolve this.
I have another query...in the command "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -h oidHost -p OIDPortNumber -D "cn=oracle" -w password -f csPlugin.ldif" which user name should i specify..... is it "cn=oracle" or "cn=orcladmin"
Thanks
peter.

Hi Raford,
