PHP and Session Caching in Sunone V6.0SP4

Good morning,
I have a site running V6.0SP4 on Solaris 8 with PHP installed and "working". On another machine, I have Sunone V6.1 with PHP installed and working correctly.
We have written some PHP programs that require the use of sessions, so that a user can use a "back" button to move backwards (or forwards) through a series of forms. The programs were developed on my V6.1 system, and they work correctly. However, when we moved these exact programs over and into the older V6.0SP4 system, the "session" commands apparently stopped working. I've been through the setups on both of the systems and tried to do a very detailed comparison of settings, but I do not see anything that is obvious.
Is there anything in V6.0SP4 that might cause PHP not to behave properly with "sessions"? is there some place or setting that I should be reviewing?
Thanks and have a good day.

Hi,
Coherence implementation is Java based and both C++ &.Net integration leverage the C*Extend functionality. Coherence for C++ consists of a native C++ library that connects to a Coherence*Extend clustered service instance running within the Coherence cluster using a high performance TCP/IP-based communication layer. Not sure what you are looking for?

UnitOfWork and server session cache

Hello,
seems like in some situations UoW does not update server session cache:
SessionManager manager = SessionManager.getManager();
Server server = (Server) manager.getDefaultSession();
Session client = server.acquireClientSession();
UnitOfWork unit = client.acquireUnitOfWork();
// stored procedure call preserves caching !
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
call.setProcedureName("security.set_current_user");
call.addNamedArgumentValue("p_user", 123);
unit.executeNonSelectingCall(call);
// these objects should always be cached (if caching is enabled) !
List list = unit.readAllObjects(Naudotojas.class);
unit.commit();
client.release();
server.release();
The presented source code executes stored procedure and read query within singe transaction. Problem is that selected data is not cached. But if stored procedure call is removed, then records will be cached. Is it expected behaviour ? That workarounds could be applied to force caching ?

When the first modify call is performed in a UnitOfWork it then assumes that the transactional state of the database is transient and therefore and data read could be non-committed. At this point it is not safe to load the objects into the shared cache.
If you are attempting to make use of VPD security you should read up on the support offered in TopLink. It will give you additional call-backs for setting the user credentials.

Cannot send session cache limter

I know that these "cannot send header" problems are everywhere - and I've read through at least twenty of them here before posting this.
I'm getting the error:

The problem is caused by all the PHP code being after the DOCTYPE declaration. It should come before it.

Open cursors and shared cached cursors

Hi
In addm report i found below recommendation, before any change in parameter i want to know about those parameters, is there any thumb rule for this parameters,
is there any drawback if i increase those parameters.
FINDING 7: 2.1% impact (10693 seconds)
Soft parsing of SQL statements was consuming significant database time.
RECOMMENDATION 1: Application Analysis, 2.1% benefit (10693 seconds)
ACTION: Investigate application logic to keep open the frequently used
cursors. Note that cursors are closed by both cursor close calls
and
session disconnects.
RECOMMENDATION 2: DB Configuration, 2.1% benefit (10693 seconds)
ACTION: Consider increasing the maximum number of open cursors a
session
can have by increasing the value of parameter "open_cursors".
ACTION: Consider increasing the session cursor cache size by
increasing
the value of parameter "session_cached_cursors".
RATIONALE: The value of parameter "open_cursors" was "300" during the
analysis period.
RATIONALE: The value of parameter "session_cached_cursors" was "20"
during the analysis period.
Thanks and Regards
Jafar

Jaffy
Your system suffers from soft parsing (according to ADDM), therefore:
- Increasing the value of open_cursors has no impact on soft parsing (only up to 9.2.0.4 open_cursors had a direct impact on that for PL/SQL programs).
- Increasing the value of session_cached_cursors might help reducing soft parsing. If it helps or not is really dependent from the application.
ADDM is probably advising to increase open_cursors as well, because the database engine will keep cursors open even if the application closes them.

Chris
PS: cursor_sharing might be helpful to reduce hard parses. It has no impact on soft parses... So, forget the hint about it.

'unable to connect' and 'localhost' and index.php and dreamweaverCC

Hi.
I am developing a Web Site and index.php is my point of entry.
Document Root Library/WebServer/Documents
so my path is: Library/WebServer/Documents/dwwdSite
httpd.conf file is modified to add index.php and have it listed first.
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<IfModule>
Troubleshooting:
I was using Netbeans IDE and when I ran index.php it opened in the browser.
When I launched 'any' of my index.php files from Netbeans IDE, they opened correctly in the brower
I am now using DreamweaverCC and when I run the index.php Error Message ' Unable to Connect'.
For the last 2 days I have been working on this and I am completely stuck.
This morning I thought of another way to test the 'unable to connect' error.
I decided to copy this same file into Netbeans IDE and I NOW get the same Error Message ' Unable to Connect'
when running index.php from Netbeans.
Somehow, my settings are not correctly configured anymore.
Here are my screenshots from Dreamweaver > manage sites.
I believe that this is a rather simple fix that I am somehow not seeing.
Maybe some can spot some mistake.
I appreciate your help and explanation.

PHP and Actionsripting...

Hey fellow Flash friends... I have a flash banner that I have
sitting on my gaming clans website I did. The forums are PHP and
when ever anyones views a new topic or post of does anything to
refresh the browser it reloads the movie and plays again. I'd like
the movie to just play once when you first get there and not
everytime someone post something. Is there a actionscript of some
way around this? I've searched everywhere and have come to a wall.
LOL Any help will be appreciated thanks!
http://www.shadowops.org/Forums/index.php

There is an even easier way to do this without using cookies.
Use Session IDs. PHP should be able to keep the session OR keep an
active variable from one page to another. Use the variable to
control the flash video.
I am presuming that you will want the movie to continue
playing in the same exact place as they left.
I don't know about AS2 or 3 if it can handle this however,
here is how you would accomplish it.
IF AS3 can accomplish this than here is what you can do.
1. When the movie is playing, IF AS3 can detect when the
movie stops have it send out the frame number and the mc name to
PHP.
Store that in PHP variables.
Transfer those variables via POST and GET methods to the
reloading page.
Check to see if those variables are active. Send those
variables back to the flash movie on the refreshed page using flash
vars and tell the ActionScript to start the same exact movie and
the same exact frame.
That is the only way that I can think of doing that.

Possible session caching issue in SSRS2014

Using custom FormsAuth, User A can sign into our own main asp.net mvc app (WIF cookie), then SSRS (FormsAuth cookie) and all is well. Here is where things go bad. User A signs out of our main application (WIF cookie deleted) then back in into
our main application as User B then back into SSRS. SSRS report that displays User!UserID show UserA instead of current User B. Its like there is either a session or cookie caching issue going on but not for sure.
1. What is the proper way to sign out of SSRS and prevent session caching?
2. Do I need to worry about making my SSRS logon page non-cacheable? If so, what is the recommended way of doing this?
thanks
scott

Hi scott_m,
According to your description, you used custom FormsAuthentication in Reporting Services, after user A sign out the application an sign in as user B, SSRS built-in user is shows user A instead of user B.
Based on my search, once we configured SSRS to use Custom (Forms) authentication by deploying a custom security extension, we can logon to MS Report Manager (MSRM) using credentials of our custom security framework via a logon web page. But there is no way
to logout or to expire the authentication cookie, so we need to close the browser manually. As a workaround, we can add a logout button to the Report Manager which is using Forms Authentication, then use code to clear the cookie and redirect to home page.
In addition, if you extend Reporting Services to use Forms Authentication, it’s better to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for all communications with the report server to prevent malicious users from gaining access to another user's cookie. SSL enables clients
and a report server to authenticate each other and to ensure that no other computers can read the contents of communications between the two computers. All data sent from a client through an SSL connection is encrypted so that malicious users cannot intercept
passwords or data sent to a report server.
Here is a relevant thread you can reference:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/5e33949d-7757-45d1-9c43-6dc3911c3ced/how-do-you-logout-of-report-manager

Service Locator and session facade pattern

What are differences between Service Locator and session facade pattern?
For me it seems one and the same.
Please explain me in detail. Expecting kind help.
Thanks,
Rahul

The ServiceLocator Pattern is a singleton which hold a map of used DataSources. The idea is that you perform a lookup once and use the cache afterwards. The session facade is just one DataSource lookup.huh? Those J2EE patterns are not really reduced to datasources and the SessionFacade has actually nothing to do with datasources.
Session Facade
It has Facade in it and a Facade is usually used to give a simple entrypoint by providing a standartized interface. The same is now with the Session Facade. You have a Session bean that represents a high-level business component that interacts and calls lower-level business components.
Imagine having client a accessing 5 business objects with the remote calls, which is not an efficient way (network latency) or accessing the SessionFace and the session face is doing all the work through local access.
Service Locator
As J2EE components are using JDNI to lookup for ejb interfaces,DataSources, JMS components, connections etc. isntead of writing all the lookup in many code piecess across the project, you write a service locator that gives you a centralized place to handle the lookup's. It's easier to maintain and to control such a setup.
As you can see there's quite a big difference ;-)

Http.keepAlive does not turn off SSL session cache?

Hi there,
I have a web service client that uses JSSE for making web service calls via https. In an effort to debug problems, I set http.keepAlive to false, I can see from the SSL debug output that KeepAlive timer messages no longer shows up, but I still see text such as "Cached client session" and "try to reuse cached session", etc.
Should not turning off keepAlive disable the use of persistent sessions?
Thanks.
Yan

They are unrelated features.
HTTP Keep Alive allows the browser to maintain a Socket to the server and issue multiple HTTP requests over that same socket.
SSL Session caching is when an SSL Session is assigned an ID, and additional SSL connects may be established with the same ID. These additional sockets then do not need to perform the full SSL handshake, since much of the data has already been negotiated previously.

How can I monitor the Session Cache when using HTTP Session-Replication?

I want to see the session cache content

To see the list of session IDs in the cache you can iterate over the keys of the cache returned from the following code:
NamedCache cacheCatalog = CacheFactory.getReplicatedCacheService("$FilterService$").ensureCache("CoherenceSession.CATALOG", getClass().getClassLoader());Then to see the contents of a session you can take a look a the cache returned from the following code:
String sId = // keys from cacheCatalog
NamedCache cacheDetails = cacheCatalog.getCacheService().ensureCache(sId, getClass().getClassLoader());Hope this helps.

How to add a new object to Toplink session cache?

Toplink Experts,
I have a question on Toplink 9.0.4.5 (I know this is older version of Toplink but this is what we are using right now). Let me give you little context before I ask the question.
Toplink server session brokers client sessions (that are spawned by it) and gets changes made in client sessions into server session through transaction commits. Process involved in getting some thing into database using Toplink is: 1) Get client session 2) Register object to be written into database with Toplink's UnitOfWork (UOW). This registration creates two copies of the object registered (original object). Working clone for client application for modifications, backup clone for Toplink to compare the changes made to the working clone later 4) Make changes to the working clone 5) Complete the transaction (and so commit UOW). If transaction commits successfully, Toplink writes the changes from the working clone into database first and applies the same changes made to the working clone to the original object in Toplink server session cache next. Oracle recommends using UOW to write some thing into database. Using UOW involves a transaction and it writes changes into database first before the original object in Toplink server session cache is refreshed.
Now comes my question: Is there a way to add a brand new object (persistent object) into Toplink server session cache with out writing it first into database? I am OK if I need to use UOW and also to use transaction to make the change but I just want to be able to refresh the original object in the server session cache with out writing any thing into database. If there is a way to do this? What are the disadvantages in doing this way though? I have read Oracle's Toplink developer guide (10.1.3) and Javadocs from Oracle on UnitOfWork/Session etc all related interfaces and classes but I could not find a way. Please help!
Syam

There are a couple things wrong with the method you posted. The first being uow.registerObject() is going to cause the object to be treated as new if you are not using the TopLink cache.
There really is not any supported mechanism to do what you are looking to do. TopLink 11g has the hooks to replace the TopLink cache with a distributed cache (and the TopLink-Grid product uses these to use Coherence as the TopLink cache) but earlier versions did not have this.
If you are willing to work outside what would be officially supported and no component of the application is using the ServerSession cache (ie all queries refresh) then something like the following may work for you:
public void prepareObjectForSave(Object userEditedObject, Object gigaSpacesObject)
UnitOfWork unitOfWork = this.dbContext.getSession().acquireUnitOfWork();
Descriptor descriptor = this.dbContext.getSession().getDescriptor(gigaSpacesObject);
Object pkVector = descriptor.getObjectBuilder().extractPrimaryKeyFromObject(gigaSpacesObject, this.dbContext.getSession());
Object cloneOfMostRecentlyUpdatedObject = (Object)unitOfWork.cloneAndRegisterObject(gigaSpacesObject, new CacheKey(pKVector), descriptor);
unitOfWork.mergeCloneWithReferences(userEditedObject);
unitOfWork.commit();
}You will need to tweak the above code to have it match the APIs in your version of TopLink and you should test thoroughly.

What is the diffreence between call transaction and session method

hi gurus
can any one suggest me
what is the difference between call transaction and session methods
in which cases we have to use teh call transaction and
in which cases we have to use session method.
thank you
regards
kals.

CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
Among the two methods call transaction is better compared to session bcoz data transfer is faster in it.
Differences between call transaction and session.
Session Method:
1) Data is not updated in the database table until the session is processed.
2) No sy-subrc is returned.
3) Error log is created for error records.
4) Updation is always synchronous.
Call Transaction Method:
1) Immediate updation in the database table.
2) sy-subrc is returned.
3)Error need to be handled explicitly.
4) updation can be synchronous as well as asynchronous.
2) ya u can use using the N mode no screen.
3)u can't handle multiple transaction in call transaction.
4) u can handle multiple transaction in session using the BDC_INSERT fm.
5)When u go to SM35 u can able to see the error records.
Which is best?
That depends on your requirement. Both of them have there advantages.
According to the situation u can choose any one of these.
difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
For session method,these are the function modules to b used.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
BDC_INSERT
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
For call transaction,this is the syntax.
CALL TRANSACTION TCODE USING BDCDATA
MODE A or E or N
UPDATE A or S
MESSAGES INTO MESSTAB.
Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)
In the BDC call transaction method
We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.
Eg: Loop at itab.
call transaction FB01
capture errors
endloop.
In the session method.
We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself
Check these link:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/question-about-bdc-program.htm
http://www.itcserver.com/blog/2006/06/30/batch-input-vs-call-transaction/
http://www.planetsap.com/bdc_main_page.htm
Batch Input Session method is asynchronous as told by others here. But the advantage of this is that you have all the error messages and the data for each transaction held persistantly. You don't have to code anything for processing them or writing the logs.
But at the same time, the same feature can be disadvantageous if you need to react to an error or if there are too many errors to manually correct in a session. Since the session are created in the program and its execution is done seperately, you loose the trackability of such transactions.
With a call transaction, what was a disadvantage above will become an advantage. Call transaction immediately gives you messages back and you can react to it in your program. But the disadvantage is that, if you have several hundreds of transactions to run, running them from within the program can be resource crunching affair. It will hamper the system performance and you cannot really distribute the load. Of course, you have some mechanisms with which you can overcome this, but you will have to code for it. Also, storing the messages and storing the errored transaction data etc will have to be handled by you in the program. Whereas, in batch input session, your program's job is to just create the session, after that everything is standard SAP system's responsibility.
Ideally, you should do a call transaction if the resources are not a problem and if it fails, put the errored transaction into a session.
You can decide based on the data volume that your BDC is processing. If data volume is high go for session else call transaction will do.The call transaction updates will be instantaneous where as session needs to be processed explictly after creation.
Session Method
1) Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ...
bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
1) Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA

messages into BDCMSGCOLL.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.

SSL Session cache persistence

Hello,
I've been scratching my head for while on a problem concerning SSL session caching. Upon examining memory usage of the session cache I noticed that the number of cached sessions is reset at some point while new session are created. For example sometimes at around 300 -1500 sessions the number drops to under 10. I have set the session cache size to unlimited (via SSLSessionContext.setSessionCacheSize()) and session timeout to 24 hours (via setSessionTimeout()).
I noticed that this has probably something to do with garbage collection. I made a server application that receives SSL connections and every few seconds prints the number sessions in the cache and the amount of consumed memory (in megs). I also enabled garbace collection information printing and ran java VM with a maximum heap size of 512M. I ran a client application against it that continuously initializes a new sessions. Here's what I got:

And in between there's a garbage collection print "[Full GC...". Why is this? Shouldn't the session cache keep the sessions until there's either too many of the them or they get too old? Here only a few minutes have elapsed and memory consumption is under control (1 to 3 megs).

In my implementation I avoid session renegotiation as
much as possible to achieve high throughput. My goal
is to preserve sessions for the entire session
timeout time. This raises a few questions:Understood, but you also have to protect the server against resource exhaustion. It's in the client's interest to cache lots of sessions for a long time; the server's interest is to conserve resources so it can keep itself running.
You actually don't want to cache all the sessions, just the 'hot' ones, so you're better off having the SessionContext remove sessions on an LRU basis by having a finite limit, rather than just letting them be GC'd. The fact that so many sessions were collected in your runs indicates pretty severe memory usage.
(1) Is there any way to tweak this behavior? For
example can make the sessions live longer by using
some GC flags for the VM? Allocate more heap space, or cache fewer sessions.
(2) How about keeping regular references to all the
sessions in my application?That would save them from GC of course. But then you'll quickly discover that you really do need a finite limit.
(3) Is the behavior of the session cache or the inner
workings of the SSL API in general documented
somewhere?Only in the source code of JSSE, and that's only a property of Sun's JRE implementation. Session caching is not even a required feature, and J2ME implementations for example generally don't do it at all.

Transaction cache VS Session cache

Hi,
Some one please help me to understand the concepts of ttransaction cache VS Session cache.
In the user guide its given that
For AM : Any data stored on the transaction is accessible to all pages that share the same root application module instance .
For Session : Session cache only when you need to set and access simple values in many pages, which have different root application modules
(The transaction cache discussed above isn't an option)
Are these 2 different ? if so how ? Why the transaction cache is different from session cache, both are used to store data and both are available across pages assuming all pages share the same AM.
Thank you for all your help.

GustavoJimenez,
Thank for taking time and explaining it.
I understand that, if multiple pages share the same AM and retainAM flag ='N' then it will create multiple instances of same AM. so is the AM cache is common for all the AM instances ?
Can you please explain more about session cache and where it comes into picture ? Is session cache and AM cache has same attributes ?
