Re: (forte-users) Accessing Technote 10398

Ketie,
let's see, I have been using FORTE since November of
1994. since the beginning those flags have been common
knowledge within the FORTE community and widely
disseminated.
the FORTE flags have been invaluable to me and HAVE
NEVER caused any downtime. sure, there are a few
wildcards in there that can cause trouble, but to
throw out the baby with the bathwater is ridiculous.
what would life be without trc:lo:25? to trace
exceptions.
or trc:os:1:1 and trc:os:5:5 to tune memory
consumption?
Should i have to call a consultant or FORTE tech
support to do the deep dive on exceptions or tune my
applications? I think not.
Overreaction? No.

  • Re: (forte-users) access violation caught in debugmode

    Eric,
    There has been a problem with Forte debug mode for sometime now when the app
    is silent. If you attempt to inspect the variables when the app is in the
    'silent' mode, i.e., waiting on an event loop for a user input or a system
    event, then you get the "Access violation caught ..." exception message and
    the workspace including the launch server crashes.
    If you are getting this problem in the 'step-through' mode, you should look
    at the lauch server immediately after you get the exception before
    everything disappears. There could be a stack backtrace due to some illegal
    reference. We have faced a similar situation before but the error appeared
    both in the 'debug' and 'run' modes.
    Hope this helps.

    Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 17:31:39 +0200
    Hello,
    I have a problem using Forte in debug mode. If I run my program on my NT
    machine from the partition workshop (distributed run), the program works
    fine except that some object does not display what I'm expecting. So I
    want to use the debug mode to inspect the objets of this window. When I
    choose the "local variables" option to see the content of my window, I
    have a "access violation caught" and forte disappears. If I just let my
    program run without choosing this option, everything is the same than
    with the distributed run.
    Does somebody have an idea what to look for ? I really want to look the
    inside the attributes of this window.
    We recently upgraded from release 30G2 to release 30L2. Could it be the
    problem ?

    Eric,
    Another possibility has to do with the repository. You said you recently
    migrated 30G2 to release 30L2.
    Many strange problems have been traced to release migrations with old
    repositories. If the repository was properly migrated another thing you can try
    is to export the project(s) to PEX files, delete them from the repository, and
    then re-import. I know this can be time consuming but I have solved more than
    one unexplained problem in the IDE by doing it.

    Eric,
    Sometimes( 90% ) you can solve this problem by
    checking out the class that is causing the crash
    and force-compiling it.
    If it doesn't help, run through this checklist.
    1. Do you have enough memory resources.?
    2. Is the object you are inspecting held in a lock ?
    ( mutex, transaction lock etc )
    3. Does it work when you wait for sometime at the
    breakpoint before inspecting the values? I mean
    are you interrupting some process thread?
    4. Does it work if you log the attributes using logmgr?
    5. Are you using any call-outs/call-ins? Any external
    systems integration? Sometimes( for reasons beyond
    my comprehension ) the objects allocated outside
    Forte gets corrupted when its passed back and forth.
    6. ...finally...Santa Clause, help me!

    We have been experiencing SEGV problem while running a compiled app.

    Everytime we receive a SegV inside of a compiled
    partition, we flip it to interpretive code. Then we
    always get the "trying to access an attribute on a Nil
    object" error. In this case, a SegV makes sense when
    trying to access an attribute on a nil object in
    compiled "C" code.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for your email but I think it will be interesting for Brenda not me.
    It is exactly what I have expected from Forte Support: detailed information
    about bugs and workarounds. But what I cannot understand is that #53398 was
    released without any information about possible reasons for this problem or
    suggested workarounds. My first reaction after reading this bugreport was to
    open a new case at CallCenter to get more information about it. Please
    release more information with your bug reports !

    Hi Zenon,
    bug #53398 is not a bug which will likely get fixed, it's an informational
    bugreport.
    You might see an errorstack like Brenda has reported (and described in
    informational
    bugreport #53398) probably when you are doing something illegal that is
    possible
    via Forte Tool but Forte is not trapping it for performance reasons. Hence
    you will see
    the error coming from your illegal operation only at runtime, probably
    only
    while
    running interpreted in the Forte IDE, but in worst case it might be even a
    segmentation
    violation.
    Technotes 12448 'Sudden client partition crashes at runtime' and 11225
    'Don't reparent
    mapped Widgets between UserWindows at runtime' explain this matter . See
    attached.
    But maybe Brenda is much more experiencing a problem as described by Forte
    Technote 11398 'Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
    control'
    that might get easily resolved via setting of FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE=0.
    Good Luck and Best Regards !
    BTW: I've logged bug #53398, so I've felt responsible to explain its real
    background.

    Technote 11398 Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX

    SCENARIO:
    Getting some unusual interpreter errors that result in an error stating
    that
    the workspace has been set to read only. Please see Enclosures for the
    two
    most common error stacks that have been encountered. The abbreviated
    versions of the errors are:
    - Can't read record (record size = -1)
    - Id in index does not match id in record header in data file
    - Recursive deserialization attempted.
    - Unknown Mark type in deserialization
    - Could not read record (64,74615) from repository data file.
    Header
    is corrupt.
    These errors can be happening in either the development environment when
    running from one of the development workshops, or with the deployed
    application.
    The bug outlined in this Technote may be the culprit if the errors above
    are
    seen when running a client on Windows NT or Motif and the user interface
    incorporates ActiveX controls or ListView/TreeView widgets.
    CAUSE:
    Basically what is happening is that in rare circumstances Forte may invoke
    a
    nested copy of the interpreter while the first interpreter has yielded.
    This
    is not a problem in and of itself, but in the case where the original
    interpreter was in the middle of a repository fetch when it yielded, and
    the second interpreter needs to fetch code as well, we will get one of the
    errors listed above, depending on the exact timing. The reason for the
    errors is that the repository code at this level is thread-safe but not
    re-entrant. It is protected by a mutex that is already owned by the
    current task. Which, given the scenario outlined here, where the two
    interpreters are running inside of the same task, results in the nested
    interpreter being allowed to change data out from under the first.
    While for every fetch one or more calls to WindowSystem.Yield will be made
    (this is there to prevent the semblance of system lock-up on Win 3.1,
    where
    Yield is the only way other applications can be allowed to run), there is
    a parameter which controls how often to actually yield, which by default
    is
    set to one out of every 100 calls. This is the reason the problem is
    intermittent--you need a yield to occur during a repository fetch
    which starts another interpreter which also needs to fetch code from
    disk.
    The reason this has only surfaced recently is that the nested interpreter
    scenario can only happen in 2 cases that we know of:
    - ActiveX controls which respond to events/Windows messages
    - Outline fields/ListViews with column(s) mapped to virtual
    attributes
    In all other normal cases, the yield can process the message (typically a
    paint message) without starting another interpreter, so regardless of
    whether
    the first interpreter yielded during a repository operation or not, there
    is
    no conflict.
    SOLUTION:
    The workaround is to prevent yields altogether by setting the
    FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE environment variable equal to 0 in the client's
    environment. This should have no detrimental effects since the yield code
    is in place solely for Windows 3.1x clients.

    Technote 11225 Don't reparent mapped Widgets between UserWindows at
    runtime
    It is sometimes tempting to unparent a widget from one UserWindow and
    reparent
    it into another at runtime. However, this can cause crashes if the widget
    (or
    its decendants) are "mapped" to data. Here's why...
    Suppose you have two UserWindows, UW1 and UW2. UW1 contains a DataField
    (DF1)
    which is mapped to a TextData. UW2 contains a RadioList (RL2) which is
    mapped to
    a scalar Integer. At compile time, every mapped attribute is internally
    assigned
    a "Map ID" (a small integer) which is used to tie the Widget to its
    corresponding attribute. These Map IDs are used by the Widget to look up a
    pointer to their data in a "Map" which is maintained by the UserWindow.
    Each
    UserWindow is assumed be to independent of the others, so there is nothing
    wrong
    with Widgets in different UserWindows being assigned the same Map IDs.
    In
    this
    case, let's assume that DF1 and RL2 both got assigned the same Map ID of
    3. No
    problem so far, since each lives in a separate UserWindow with a separate
    map.
    Now suppose at runtime the application "detaches" or unparents DF1 from
    its
    UserWindow and reparents it somewhere into UW2. When it comes time for DF1
    to
    paint itself the Display System it must ask the Runtime System for the
    value of
    DF1's mapped attribute. To do that it says "give me the value of the
    TextData
    for DF1. You'll find it in the Map for this UserWindow (UW1), and its Map
    ID is
    3". When the runtime system goes to do this it expects to find a TextData
    in
    this "slot" of the map, but instead it picks up the integer which is
    mapped to
    RL2. At best this leads to bad data being returned; more likely you get a
    segfault and a crash.
    If DF1 was not a mapped attribute (say, a Rectangle) there would be no
    problem
    because there is no data mapped to a Rectangle. If instead of moving DF1
    you
    created a brand new DataField on the fly there would be no problem,
    because the
    dynamic DataField would not have any Map ID and so couldn't conflict with
    any
    IDs in UW2.
    So how do you solve this problem? This is exactly what Nested Windows are
    all
    about. While you can't move DF1 into the middle of UW2, you can nest
    UW1.
    This
    works because UW1 brings its map with it, and when you access DF1 it knows
    to
    look up its value in UW1's map.
    UserWindows are intended to be the "unit of compilabilty" that can be
    nested
    inside other UserWindows. It is dangerous to "transplant" anything from
    inside
    one UserWindow into another at runtime.
    (Note that you can't avoid this problem by cloning DF1 because the MapID
    gets
    copied along with it, and the clone will fail in the same way.)
    Further details explained in related technote 12448 'Sudden client
    partition
    crashes at runtime.'
    Technote 12448 Sudden client partition crashes at runtime
    Scenario : You have two UserWindows, A and B. When Window A starts up, it
    instantiates an instance of B and reparents some component of B into A's
    window
    hierarchy.
    This is not allowed and almost always leads to an error at best or at
    worse a
    segmentation fault.
    Here's why :
    When you compile a UserWindow in Forte, each "mapped attribute" (whether a
    form
    element or menu element) is assigned an internal ID which represents an
    offset into
    that UserWindow's table of mapped attributes. This offset is only valid
    in the
    context of the UserWindow in which it was compiled. If you detach a
    FieldWidget or
    MenuWidget from one compiled Window ("tmpMenu" for example) and then
    parent
    into another compiled window ("tmpWindow") the internal ID comes with it.
    When Forte tries to make use of that copied widget it uses the ID as an
    offset
    into tmpWindow's table of mapped attributes. But that copied offset is
    meaningless in the context of tmpWindow's table, so you get some kind off
    error.
    In this case it found that the data type of the variable in the slot
    wasn't
    what
    was expected. But you might even index off the end of the table and get a
    segmentation fault.
    There is nothing to prevent you from dynamically creating menu items and
    adding
    them to a window at runtime; that will work fine. Although of course you
    can't
    access them via mapped attributes, since those can only be created at
    compile time.
    But you are not allowed to reparent a widget from one compiled UserWindow
    into
    the hierarchy of another.
    More information may be found in technote 11225 'Don't reparent mapped
    Widgets
    between UserWindows at runtime'.

    segmentation

    It is exactly what I have expected from Forte Support: detailed information
    about bugs and workarounds. But what I cannot understand is that #53398 was
    released without any information about possible reasons for this problem or
    suggested workarounds. My first reaction after reading this bugreport was to
    open a new case at CallCenter to get more information about it. Please

    Hi Zenon,
    bug #53398 is not a bug which will likely get fixed, it's an informational
    bugreport.
    You might see an errorstack like Brenda has reported (and described in
    informational
    bugreport #53398) probably when you are doing something illegal that is
    possible
    via Forte Tool but Forte is not trapping it for performance reasons. Hence
    you will see
    the error coming from your illegal operation only at runtime, probably
    only
    while
    running interpreted in the Forte IDE, but in worst case it might be even a
    segmentation
    violation.
    Technotes 12448 'Sudden client partition crashes at runtime' and 11225
    'Don't reparent
    mapped Widgets between UserWindows at runtime' explain this matter . See
    attached.
    But maybe Brenda is much more experiencing a problem as described by Forte
    Technote 11398 'Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
    control'
    that might get easily resolved via setting of FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE=0.
    Good Luck and Best Regards !

    Technote 11398 Read Only Workspace Errors using ListViews or ActiveX
    control
    SCENARIO:
    Getting some unusual interpreter errors that result in an error stating
    that
    the workspace has been set to read only. Please see Enclosures for the
    two
    most common error stacks that have been encountered. The abbreviated
    versions of the errors are:
    - Can't read record (record size = -1)
    - Id in index does not match id in record header in data file
    - Recursive deserialization attempted.
    - Unknown Mark type in deserialization
    - Could not read record (64,74615) from repository data file.
    Header
    is corrupt.
    These errors can be happening in either the development environment when
    running from one of the development workshops, or with the deployed
    application.
    The bug outlined in this Technote may be the culprit if the errors above
    are
    seen when running a client on Windows NT or Motif and the user interface
    incorporates ActiveX controls or ListView/TreeView widgets.
    CAUSE:
    Basically what is happening is that in rare circumstances Forte may invoke
    a
    nested copy of the interpreter while the first interpreter has yielded.
    This
    is not a problem in and of itself, but in the case where the original
    interpreter was in the middle of a repository fetch when it yielded, and
    the second interpreter needs to fetch code as well, we will get one of the
    errors listed above, depending on the exact timing. The reason for the
    errors is that the repository code at this level is thread-safe but not
    re-entrant. It is protected by a mutex that is already owned by the
    current task. Which, given the scenario outlined here, where the two
    interpreters are running inside of the same task, results in the nested
    interpreter being allowed to change data out from under the first.
    While for every fetch one or more calls to WindowSystem.Yield will be made
    (this is there to prevent the semblance of system lock-up on Win 3.1,
    where
    Yield is the only way other applications can be allowed to run), there is
    a parameter which controls how often to actually yield, which by default
    is
    set to one out of every 100 calls. This is the reason the problem is
    intermittent--you need a yield to occur during a repository fetch
    which starts another interpreter which also needs to fetch code from
    disk.
    The reason this has only surfaced recently is that the nested interpreter
    scenario can only happen in 2 cases that we know of:
    - ActiveX controls which respond to events/Windows messages
    - Outline fields/ListViews with column(s) mapped to virtual
    attributes
    In all other normal cases, the yield can process the message (typically a
    paint message) without starting another interpreter, so regardless of
    whether
    the first interpreter yielded during a repository operation or not, there
    is
    no conflict.
    SOLUTION:
    The workaround is to prevent yields altogether by setting the
    FORTE_YIELD_THROTTLE environment variable equal to 0 in the client's
    environment. This should have no detrimental effects since the yield code
    is in place solely for Windows 3.1x clients.

    Technote 11225 Don't reparent mapped Widgets between UserWindows at
    runtime
    It is sometimes tempting to unparent a widget from one UserWindow and
    reparent
    it into another at runtime. However, this can cause crashes if the widget
    (or
    its decendants) are "mapped" to data. Here's why...
    Suppose you have two UserWindows, UW1 and UW2. UW1 contains a DataField
    (DF1)
    which is mapped to a TextData. UW2 contains a RadioList (RL2) which is
    mapped to
    a scalar Integer. At compile time, every mapped attribute is internally
    assigned
    a "Map ID" (a small integer) which is used to tie the Widget to its
    corresponding attribute. These Map IDs are used by the Widget to look up a
    pointer to their data in a "Map" which is maintained by the UserWindow.
    Each
    UserWindow is assumed be to independent of the others, so there is nothing
    wrong
    with Widgets in different UserWindows being assigned the same Map IDs.
    In
    this
    case, let's assume that DF1 and RL2 both got assigned the same Map ID of
    3. No
    problem so far, since each lives in a separate UserWindow with a separate
    map.
    Now suppose at runtime the application "detaches" or unparents DF1 from
    its
    UserWindow and reparents it somewhere into UW2. When it comes time for DF1
    to
    paint itself the Display System it must ask the Runtime System for the
    value of
    DF1's mapped attribute. To do that it says "give me the value of the
    TextData
    for DF1. You'll find it in the Map for this UserWindow (UW1), and its Map
    ID is
    3". When the runtime system goes to do this it expects to find a TextData
    in
    this "slot" of the map, but instead it picks up the integer which is
    mapped to
    RL2. At best this leads to bad data being returned; more likely you get a
    segfault and a crash.
    If DF1 was not a mapped attribute (say, a Rectangle) there would be no
    problem
    because there is no data mapped to a Rectangle. If instead of moving DF1
    you
    created a brand new DataField on the fly there would be no problem,
    because the
    dynamic DataField would not have any Map ID and so couldn't conflict with
    any
    IDs in UW2.
    So how do you solve this problem? This is exactly what Nested Windows are
    all
    about. While you can't move DF1 into the middle of UW2, you can nest
    UW1.
    This
    works because UW1 brings its map with it, and when you access DF1 it knows
    to
    look up its value in UW1's map.
    UserWindows are intended to be the "unit of compilabilty" that can be
    nested
    inside other UserWindows. It is dangerous to "transplant" anything from
    inside
    one UserWindow into another at runtime.
    (Note that you can't avoid this problem by cloning DF1 because the MapID
    gets
    copied along with it, and the clone will fail in the same way.)
    Further details explained in related technote 12448 'Sudden client
    partition
    crashes at runtime.'
    Technote 12448 Sudden client partition crashes at runtime
    Scenario : You have two UserWindows, A and B. When Window A starts up, it
    instantiates an instance of B and reparents some component of B into A's
    window
    hierarchy.
    This is not allowed and almost always leads to an error at best or at
    worse a
    segmentation fault.
    Here's why :
    When you compile a UserWindow in Forte, each "mapped attribute" (whether a
    form
    element or menu element) is assigned an internal ID which represents an
    offset into
    that UserWindow's table of mapped attributes. This offset is only valid
    in the
    context of the UserWindow in which it was compiled. If you detach a
    FieldWidget or
    MenuWidget from one compiled Window ("tmpMenu" for example) and then
    parent
    into another compiled window ("tmpWindow") the internal ID comes with it.
    When Forte tries to make use of that copied widget it uses the ID as an
    offset
    into tmpWindow's table of mapped attributes. But that copied offset is
    meaningless in the context of tmpWindow's table, so you get some kind off
    error.
    In this case it found that the data type of the variable in the slot
    wasn't
    what
    was expected. But you might even index off the end of the table and get a
    segmentation fault.
    There is nothing to prevent you from dynamically creating menu items and
    adding
    them to a window at runtime; that will work fine. Although of course you
    can't
    access them via mapped attributes, since those can only be created at
    compile time.
    But you are not allowed to reparent a widget from one compiled UserWindow
    into
    the hierarchy of another.
    More information may be found in technote 11225 'Don't reparent mapped
    Widgets
    between UserWindows at runtime'.
    Possible errorstacks seen at runtime instead of a complete crash or
    segmentation
    violation while you are illegally reparenting a widget or menuitem between
    windows

    Hi David,
    The problem is that the SO uses an attribute of its class ACBAccount as
    the ObjectReference pointer. SO is not a stateless object. The possible
    scenario before crash can be that client A and B calls SO at the same
    time. A's thread creates ACBAccount gets the ObjectReference. At this
    point B's thread is activated, does the same as A creates new
    ObjectReference. Probably the next switch between A and B will be in the
    Connect() (B should wait for OLE server). If A is reactivated it doesn't
    get the original own reference but the B's reference. It can cause the
    crash and means that a thread can use reference created in some other
    thread.

    Jenni,
    As Zenon has pointed out, technote 11378 talks about problems that
    can occur if the calls made to an OLE object are not from within the same
    thread the OLE object was created in. It goes on to show a design to
    avoid
    this.
    However, the code you have given DOES communicate to the OLE object
    in the same thread as it was created. So the problem as I see it is more
    likely to be that the OLE object is not being garbage collected. Although
    you do explicitly NIL out the ACBAccount object there is a technote 12453
    that deals with the need to set the ObjectReference of CDispatch objects
    to
    NIL to allow the OLE object to be completely reclaimed by the garbage
    collector. Failure to do so when using code that creates a new OLE object
    every time you ask for an account validation will eventually run the
    partition out of memory.
    As pointed out in a previous post you can also increase
    FORTE_STACK_SIZE but this will delay the problem not correct it.
    Rather than create the connection each time you may want to think
    about redesigning the method as shown in tech note 11378.
    Cheers

    Hi Jenni,
    The most important issue by designing an OLE connection between a Forte
    server partition and an OLE component is taking into account that an OLE
    object can be referenced from the NT thread in Forte partition that it was
    created in. It is the reason that you have no problems with your mini-app
    in
    single-threaded version.
    This problem is discussed in the Technote 11378. You can find a workaround
    for your problem there, too.

    Hi there
    We have this situation
    We are calling a Service Object (in the server partition) from ourclient
    partition.This service object calls a method which calls a DLLregistered
    on our server (VB code) . This VB code access a database on anotherserver
    .(DSN set up on our server ).The database is sql server .
    We are having the problem where for about 3 hours in the morning , the
    system works perfectly. We then get a segmentation violation on this
    partition . When we run interpreted we can see that this is an OLEinvoked
    exception. The partition does not always show as offline in econsole
    and
    because it does not , we cannot 'online' another . We cannot take the
    entire app down as everything hangs . Eventually our technical depthas
    to
    down the server
    We set up a mini-app looping through and calling the DLL to simulate
    the
    problem . It worked fine. When we put another asynchronous task in the
    method to call the service object , it erred quite soon. We thencreate
    an
    attribute of type mutex and locked using that. The mini-app worked.
    However our app in development eventually hanged (without the
    partition
    coming though) .
    The service Object is an environment visible service object in asingle
    (non-replicated partition) . It has a dialog duration = session .
    In the project is
    ACB : ACBObject
    ACBObject : CDispatch (shared = disallowed , distributed =
    disallowed, transactional = disallowed, monitored = allowed)
    ACBValidator : Object (shared = allowed , distributed =allowed,
    transactional = disallowed, monitored = disallowed)
    ACBVaidatorSO : ACBValidator
    In this method we have this code to call the DLL

    Hi there
    Thanks very much for the solution - just wanted to let you know . We
    implemented the design that technote 11378 suggested .
    It worked .
    Thanks very much
    Cheers

    Hi David,
    The problem is that the SO uses an attribute of its class ACBAccount as
    the ObjectReference pointer. SO is not a stateless object. The possible
    scenario before crash can be that client A and B calls SO at the same
    time. A's thread creates ACBAccount gets the ObjectReference. At this
    point B's thread is activated, does the same as A creates new
    ObjectReference. Probably the next switch between A and B will be in the
    Connect() (B should wait for OLE server). If A is reactivated it doesn't
    get the original own reference but the B's reference. It can cause the
    crash and means that a thread can use reference created in some other
    thread.
    Regards,
    Zenon

    Jenni,
    As Zenon has pointed out, technote 11378 talks about problems that
    can occur if the calls made to an OLE object are not from within the same
    thread the OLE object was created in. It goes on to show a design to
    avoid
    this.
    However, the code you have given DOES communicate to the OLE object
    in the same thread as it was created. So the problem as I see it is more
    likely to be that the OLE object is not being garbage collected. Although
    you do explicitly NIL out the ACBAccount object there is a technote 12453
    that deals with the need to set the ObjectReference of CDispatch objects
    to
    NIL to allow the OLE object to be completely reclaimed by the garbage
    collector. Failure to do so when using code that creates a new OLE object
    every time you ask for an account validation will eventually run the
    partition out of memory.
    As pointed out in a previous post you can also increase
    FORTE_STACK_SIZE but this will delay the problem not correct it.
    Rather than create the connection each time you may want to think
    about redesigning the method as shown in tech note 11378.
    Cheers

    Hi Jenni,
    The most important issue by designing an OLE connection between a Forte
    server partition and an OLE component is taking into account that an OLE
    object can be referenced from the NT thread in Forte partition that it was
    created in. It is the reason that you have no problems with your mini-app
    in
    single-threaded version.
    This problem is discussed in the Technote 11378. You can find a workaround
    for your problem there, too.

    Hi there
    We have this situation
    We are calling a Service Object (in the server partition) from ourclient
    partition.This service object calls a method which calls a DLLregistered
    on our server (VB code) . This VB code access a database on anotherserver
    .(DSN set up on our server ).The database is sql server .
    We are having the problem where for about 3 hours in the morning , the
    system works perfectly. We then get a segmentation violation on this
    partition . When we run interpreted we can see that this is an OLEinvoked
    exception. The partition does not always show as offline in econsole
    and
    because it does not , we cannot 'online' another . We cannot take the
    entire app down as everything hangs . Eventually our technical depthas
    to
    down the server
    We set up a mini-app looping through and calling the DLL to simulate
    the
    problem . It worked fine. When we put another asynchronous task in the
    method to call the service object , it erred quite soon. We thencreate
    an
    attribute of type mutex and locked using that. The mini-app worked.
    However our app in development eventually hanged (without the
    partition
    coming though) .
    The service Object is an environment visible service object in asingle
    (non-replicated partition) . It has a dialog duration = session .
    In the project is
    ACB : ACBObject
    ACBObject : CDispatch (shared = disallowed , distributed =
    disallowed, transactional = disallowed, monitored = allowed)
    ACBValidator : Object (shared = allowed , distributed =allowed,
    transactional = disallowed, monitored = disallowed)
    ACBVaidatorSO : ACBValidator
    In this method we have this code to call the DLL
    self.ACBAccount = new;
    self.ACBAccount.CreateUsingCLSID(classID='{2EFD3084-7B05-11D3-857F-00105A4

    at.Value = pAccountType.Value;
    acbaccount.AccountType = at.Value;
    acbaccount.AccountNo = pAccountNo.value;
    begin
    acbaccount.Connect();
    exception
    when e : GenericException do
    ex : GenericException = new;
    ex.SetWithParams(severity = SP_ER_ERROR,
    message = 'There was an error connecting to the database');
    raise ex;
    end;
    begin
    err : i2 = acbaccount.ValidateAccount();
    if err != 0 then

  • RE: (forte-users) Serialisation

    Singh,
    Any message sent across partition boundaries is serialized. This includes
    method invokations, events and exceptions. The signature of the message
    itself is serialized, as well as the values of all parameters/attributes.
    Serializing a scalar value requires less overhead then serialising an
    object, however, the difference isn't as big as you might think. Objects
    have more attributes then just the value you're interested in and these
    attributes are serialised as well. Each object is an instance of a class and
    each class has a UUID, which is added to the serialized stream as well.
    However, methods are NOT serialised. What happens is this. Forte serializes
    an object into a stream containing only the values of the attributes
    (including nested attributes). This stream is given a header which sais of
    which class this object is an instance (the UUID is used for that). The
    receiving partition reads the serialized stream, finds the definition of the
    class (defined by UUID) in its own code, creates an instance of this class
    and fills the data out of the serialized stream into this new object.
    You can imagine what might happen if there is a mismatch between the
    class-definitions in both partitions. You either get
    serialization-deserialization errors, or the receiving partition complains
    that it doesn't even know the UUID of the received streamed object, or you
    get no errors at all and just have an object that displays different
    behaviour, depending what partition it's in.
    If there are no problems, then the main issue is the
    serializing-deserializing overhead. Note that the receiving partition has to
    instantiate a new object for every serialized object it receives and will
    therefore execute all code in the Init() method. This overhead is not
    required for scalar types, for which Forte only needs to reserve a small
    amount of memory space on the stack.
    Any call to a database is also a message sent across partitions and is
    therefore serialized. However, one partition is a Forte partition and the
    other one isn't. Therefore, Forte's internal serialization mechanism isn't
    used. Forte serializes the SQL-query into a format understood by the
    database (which is different for every vendor). Forte then receives a stream
    back which has a different format for every different database type. This
    stream is deserialized and written to attributes that Forte has reserved to
    contain the data. Whether these are scalar, datavalues or domains only
    impacts performance inside the Forte partition. It has no effect on the
    communication with the database.

    Subject: (forte-users) Serialisation
    Hello All
    I have a question that has been bugging me for some
    time.
    We all know that it is better to use scalar data
    types, as opposed to objects, when passing data across
    a network.
    The reason, if I understand correctly, is that when
    you send an object across a network, the whole object
    (properties, attributes and methods) is deserialised
    into zero's and one's before being sent across and
    then serialised back into the object when it gets to
    the other side. This would take longer for an object
    since for a scalar value, just the value is
    deserialised and serialised.
    But when you are writing to a database from the tier
    before the database to the database, does it matter
    what type you use. The reason for saying this is that
    the values are serialised before they go across and
    then deserialised when they get to the base, in other
    words, they are sent as zero's and one's. For a scalar
    - just the value is sent across but for an object -
    does just the value go across or the complete object.
    If just the value of the object goes across, then it
    doesn't really matter whether a scalar or object is
    sent across.
    Am I correct in this assumption.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Re: (forte-users) systemexception

    Hi There
    Segmentation violations can be caused by different
    situations. Force compiling works well in clearing
    most SV's. It is advisable to first clear all
    breakpoints, force-compile your plans and run your
    application. If you still get the SV then run in debug
    mode to identify the problem area.
    Hope this helps.

    Subject: "Single DBSession" approach
    The standard Forte approach for the database access assumes
    that one DBSession handles requests from several users
    (clients), so the database connection is not associated with
    the particular user. This significantly impacts the
    architecture of the Forte application. Some of the problems
    caused by this approach are:
    1) An application-level security system should be developed
    instead of using the DBMS security system. Suffice it to say
    that application-level security system cannot provide the
    protection from back-door access to the database.
    2) The application cannot utilize the DBMS locking mechanism
    for the case when the record is retrieved to the client for
    editing purposes ("long" transaction).
    It means that SecurityManager and LockManager should be
    developed to resolve these problems. This does not seem to be
    very good solution because these objects are intended to repeat
    the functionality of the DBMS. And these parts of the
    application may become pretty complicated. For example, my
    project's experience shows that the development of the lock
    manager is not a trivial task and most likely this lock manager
    will be worse than the DBMS locking mechanism in terms of
    reliability and performance just because it acts as an outside
    program to the database. Besides, this approach could cause
    serious problems if the database can be updated by non-Forte
    applications (e.g., by some legacy system or batch process).
    "One DBSession per several users" approach makes sense if each
    user connection to the database is implemented as one
    server process.(Another good argument in favor of single
    DBsession is a heterogeneous environment where there is no
    stable connection to one database, but here I'm talking about a
    "regular" application that uses only one DBMS.) Since most of
    the time this process is idle, then, of course, decreasing the
    number of processes leads to better server utilization and
    performance. But by its sense, database connection is just the
    current transaction ID (with the user id, of course). So the
    connection could be just a number that should be passed to the
    DBMS along with each request and then DBMS can create a thread
    to handle the request or forward it to the next available
    process if it does not support multithreading.
    DBMS vendors realize this and some of them already implemented
    this approach (I know that Oracle and Informix did that and
    Sybase was mentioned in the recent "one-threaded DBSession"
    discussion). And one-threaded DBSession that lives on the
    server doesn't fit well to that. The better approach would be
    to make DBSession the attribute of the TransactionHandle
    object, so the current connection will always be passed from
    the client to the service and this service can work through
    this connection.
    So, my point is that the application should let DBMS do its
    work and use as much of the functionality of the DBMS as
    possible and the "single DBsession" approach doesn't help it to
    do that.
    I would be glad to hear any other opinion on this topic. I
    think that the "DBsession" problem is extremely important for
    any multi-tier application (for example, all Web applications
    are facing this problem). I'm also interested in how people
    are dealing with this problem on other projects, for example if
    there are some projects where the alternative approach (one
    DBSession per each user) was implemented and what problems were
    encountered during that.

    One of the first issues that needs to be addressed is that passing
    DBSessions from partition to partition is a huge performance hit. When
    Forte executes a SQL SELECT or FETCH statement on a DBSession that exists
    outside the current partition (DBSessions are "anchored" objects that are
    accessed via proxies.) Forte fetches the result set into the partition
    containing the DBSession and then passes proxies or creates copies into
    the partition where the SQL code is located. These are some of the
    largest performance hits you can take in Forte.

  • RE: (forte-users) Forte ADE

    In addition to this confusion, I'd like to see some statement by Forte to
    indicate
    WHEN the next Forte R4 is scheduled (before the Sun era is was said to be
    Summer 2000) and
    WHAT exactly it will contain (major headings will do).
    With the cancellation of the Forte Forum event doubt and uncertainty are
    spreading in the
    Forte communities that I talk with and no one seems to counterbalance these
    doubts with an
    official statement. How serious does Sun take TOOL Forte for the coming few
    years? Release
    of Fusion V2 seems to say "serious". The deafning silence with regard to R4
    indicates the
    opposite. And the users are divided (as always).

    Subject: (forte-users) Forte ADE
    A long, long time ago
    In a galaxy far away....
    I saw a demonstration of Forte's new Application Development
    Environment,
    which was more userfriendly than the current one. It also looked more
    similar to the interface of the other development tools out
    there, with a
    tree structure and capabilities to browse through the
    inheritance tree, and
    not opening a new window for every project, class and method that is
    accessed.
    This new interface was supposed to be included in Forte 4, which would
    combine TOOL and Java and would be released soon.
    Since then, we've seen SynerJ and now FJEE, but Forte 4 is still not
    released. And when it will be released, it still won't
    support TOOL and Java
    simultaneously. That's OK. I understand that.
    But now I've heard that this improved ADE won't even be
    included in Forte 4.
    Is this true? And if so, why?

    You may be interested in the following which comes from a statement of direction
    recently issued by Sun.
    Product Context
    + Fort&eacute; 4GL is an award-winning, proven product with many unique advantages for
    building
    enterprise business systems that are distributed, that involve the integration
    of existing
    business systems as well as new functionality, and that target heterogeneous
    runtime
    environments.
    + Fort&eacute; 4GL is recognized by Gartner Group as the most successful Enterprise
    Application
    Development Tool.
    + Forte 4GL has a substantial customer base that has been successful with the
    product and that
    looks forward to using Fort&eacute; 4GL for new applications.
    + The Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SMI) development tools group (formerly Fort&eacute;
    Software, Inc.)
    has a strong internal commitment to Fort&eacute; 4GL. Fort&eacute; Fusion is written with, and
    is currently
    being enhanced with Fort&eacute; 4GL.
    + SMI has retained the Fort&eacute; field sales organization as an independent unit
    whose primary
    product offerings are Fort&eacute; 4GL and Fort&eacute; Fusion. Continued volume sales of
    Fort&eacute; 4GL
    remain the foundation of our business plan.
    Product Future
    + We intend to actively enhance and promote Fort&eacute; 4GL for the indefinite
    future.
    + We believe Fort&eacute; 4GL will flourish in the long term, especially if we are
    able to harness the
    considerable selling power of the entire SMI field sales organization. To make
    the product
    more attractive and easier to sell, we will continue to make the product more
    modular and
    easier to integrate with heterogeneous software environments.
    + We believe that the best opportunity for attracting new customers is to
    leverage the ability of
    Fort&eacute; 4GL to easily build powerful shared business services (server components)
    that can be
    accessed by non-Fort&eacute; clients (e.g., browsers, Java clients) and that can easily
    integrate with
    new and existing business systems.
    + We believe that Fort&eacute; 4GL?s continued success is enhanced by continuing to
    issue small and
    frequent product releases. Our target is two such releases per year.
    + There is a great potential for our three product lines (Fort&eacute; 4GL, Fort&eacute;
    Fusion, and Fort&eacute; for
    Java) to complement and reinforce each other. Interoperability among the three
    product lines
    is seen as a critical success factor for Fort&eacute; 4GL.
    Forte 4GL Statement of Direction Page 2
    Sun Microsystems, Inc Proprietary and Confidential
    Product Priorities
    1. Interoperability with third party software components
    + External (non-4GL) client support (e.g., browsers, Java clients)
    + External server integration (e.g., messaging, component support, data
    exchange)
    2. Enhanced productivity
    + Increased automation (i.e., less coding)
    + Support for platform updates (e.g., new versions of OS, DBMS)
    3. TOOL code to Java code migration
    4. Unified developer look and feel with other Forte development products

    There's a special process to put the project in your

  • Re: (forte-users) Express Question

    Hi,
    I've done it using a dynamic DBSession manager (and dynamic dbsession
    instanciation). But, you need to customize the Express Framework
    (ExpressService.BusinessDBMgr) and modify the select, update, delete, execute
    methods. You need also to maintain the statement cache linked to the DBsession
    and manage the link between a DBsession and a task or use explicit mutex (the
    aim is to have only one task assigned to a DBsession at a time : this should be
    done in the DBSession Manager). If you use Dynamic DBSessions, you will also
    need to add a synchronization to the DBsession Manager.
    If you want to suppress the default DBSession service object, you will need to
    customize the code generation. You should ask the Forte Consulting I think...
