SQL Azure: Query Analyzer VS Web Application - Calling Stored Prcocedure

I have a stored procedure in SQL Azure.
Calling this stored procedure normally would take 30 minutes.
I need to call this Stored procedure multiple times (18 times, with different input)
Scenario 1: When I call this asynchronously from the Web Application, all 18 calls run concurrently so the whole process take about 30 minutes.
Scenario 2: When I call this same stored procedure from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, (each process in a different TAB) they seem to be running very slowly, it has already taken more than 5 hours.
Is there a reason for this ?
Is there any difference in calling multiple stored procedures from different tabs ?
Is this process running Asynchronously ?
What is the best was to achieve scenario without going via the front end ?

Is there a reason for this ?
--When you are running the query, no matter application or SQL Server, please check sys.dm_exec_requests and check the session status in SQL Server and see if any difference.
Maybe it is caused by blocking when running in SSMS. We need to dig into it.
I am not sure how you call the procedure asynchronously  in application, but if they are sent to SQL Server within different connections/sessions, then it should be the same as SSMS.
Is there any difference in calling multiple stored procedures from different tabs ?
--No.
Is this process running Asynchronously ?
--When you start the procedure in SSMS, it is a synchronize session.
However, the slowness should not be associated with the synchronization or not.
Per my understanding, for the asynchronously calling in application, it simply means that application goes to execution other code without for SQL Server.
This does not affect the real time cost in SQL Server.
What is the best was to achieve scenario without going via the front end ?
--We need to understand what cause the issue first. Normally they should be almost the same.
Right now the procedure caused 30 minutes to complete and it is really too long. I think you'd better make adjustment to the code or logic to tune the performance first.

  • Call BW query from a Web application

    Hi,
    I am trying to call a BW query from a Web application. Could you please let me know how to pass the parameters to the query.
    Thanks,

    I don't know about db2 APIS, but you can use JDBC to connect to DB2 physical files/tables with the DB2 driver. You would need the jar file with the driver info though. I've done this with the webshpere appserver.
    import com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver;
    Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
    connectionVar = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://SERVERNAME/LIBRARY", "user", "passwd");
    That's the basic info that will get you connected and then you can access any files or tables that are in that library with SQL. You would have to use the Java API though - statements, resulsets etc. Hope it helps.

  • Browser based InfoPath form deployed on a Claims based Web Application calling a Secure Web Service via Data Connection

    hi,
    We have a Browser based InfoPath Form deployed on a Claims based Web Application. We are tyring to call WCF Services that are secure using Certificates via the Data Connections on Infopath Form.
    Earlier we used to get the Data in BCS External List via the WCF Services and the Data Connections used to get the Data from the BCS External List. Due to Performance Issues, we want to remove the BCS External List and straightaway call the secure WCF Services
    via the Data Connections.
    Have anyone implemented this scenario.
    Thanks
    Ram
    Thanks Ram

    Hi Ram,
    As these are browser based InfoPath forms, you have two options 
    1) Deploy as sandboxed forms
    In this case you have to create a secure store application id and then set the credentials for that account.
    You then have to export the data connection to Data connections library and modify the .udcx file to utilize the newly created secure store application id.
    This may sometime give issues related to sandboxed code service. You have to give permissions on the secure store for the user account which the sandboxed code service is running.
    2) Deploy as administrator approved forms
    This would be ideal way of doing things as you have full control over the web request if you write code behind InfoPath forms.
    3) Deploy as a Hybrid solution
    a) Write a full trust proxy solutions (extend SPProxyOperation class and override execute method) and make the web request call inside this and return the response
    b) Invoke above operation from the sandboxed InfoPath form's code behind by SPUtility.RegisteredProxyOperation(four part assembly name, operation args)
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Query on WAD (Web Application Designer)

    We have got request from the user on one WAD u2013 Web Application Designer Report for the extra functionality.
    This WAD report contains 7 tabs, for each tab there is a separate query view has bee designed with default variable values.
    While running the WAD report user will input values in the variable window for the variables (Eg: Fiscal Year, Org.Structureu2026etc), after executing the report, if the user switch to another tab in the same report, the variable values entered before execution of the report will not pass to the another tab by default because the query views have been designed in such a way that each query view will have its own default values.
    Now the user is expecting the variable values entered for the first tab should be passed to other tabs as well, is it possible to pass values from one tab to another tab?
    If its possible, could you guide us where (HTML code or web template parameters or any another things) exactly the required changes/modifications need to be made in WAD report?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

    To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
    You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
    Something like this:
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
    <init-param>...</init-param>
    </servlet>
    Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

    <!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

    I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Jdk 1.5.0_12 and Oracle 10g. I am using jdbc-odbc bridge connection
    to connect to the database. I have placed my project folder called
    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this

    <!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in

    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

  • SAP ICH in the SCM system is capable of publishing pages in web application

    Experts,
    We have one critical requirements where in we have to suggest customer that whether SAP ICH in the SCM system is capable of publishing pages in web application or not.
    In detail... in our customer land scape SCM is the central planning tool and there are two type of users, one type of users have direct access to SCM system where they can directly do thier demand planning, the second type of users only have access to the web application called "extranet", from which they want to see the published planning guidelines and based on that they also wants to create the demand planning (from the web application - extranet). My question is whether SAP Inventory Collaboration Hub will do for this requirement? Do we need an Enterprise Portal to facilitate this functionality? Please advice. Very impartant and critical for delivery by tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Krishnan

    Hi Krishnan,
    From your query I understood that a set of DP users access the system from external location over web.
    SAP gives a solution ,using BSP web pages, to expose the SAP screens as its seen through the SAPGui's. They look similar to the standard only difference is it will be embedded in the browser. Unfortunately SAP was recommending this technology, they has plans to retire this technology as the Portal would suffice this requirement. So to answer your query the portal is a viable solution to your requirement.
    ICH cannot help you because it does not give the functionality of DP, instead its a application for collaboration between the entities (manufacturer & supplier or customer).

  • Connect BizTalk Server Configuration with Sql Azure - version 2013 R2

    Hi,
    My data resides on Sql Azure. I need to create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure using Microsoft BizTalk Server Configuration wizard. Subsequently manage rules from Business Rule Composer.
    I am unable to connect to Sql Azure from BizTalk Server Configuration application. Without this i could not create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure. I gave the following details:
    Database server name: <servername>.database.windows.net,1433
    User name: <username>
    Password: <pwd>
    When i click configure button, a message pops "The database server you specified cannot be reached...."
    All i need from BizTalk is to create Business Rules Engine DB on Sql Azure. Then I would like to manage rules using Business
    Rule Composer connecting to Sql Azure BizTalkRuleEngineDb.<o:p></o:p>
    My business logic will programmatically access BizTalkRuleEngineDb db and execute rules using Microsoft.RuleEngine.dll<o:p></o:p>
    Is this a feasible solution? I would like to see your inputs.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tushar

    First I would suggest you to perform sanity check to confirm if SQL server connectivity is perfect.
    1) Verify the MSDTC Settings on both the servers:- It should resemble as below.
    2) UDL Test:- Create a new "Text Document"(new notepad file) rename it to ABC.udl, double click and give the SQL server details and Test connection. If this fails it means BizTalk is not at all able to connect with SQL and in this
    case BizTalk Application is just a victim of Network connectivity issue.
    You can also refer the below article-
    Resolving the issues you may face during BizTalk Runtime Configuration

  • Access Denied Web Application with Claims authentication NTLM only when using secondary URL

    I have a SharePoint 2010 server farm with 2 web front ends, an application server and a database server.  Both front ends are internal to
    our network and are not behind a load balancer.
    NOTE THAT I HAD TO SUBSTITUTE hzzp with hzzp so that I had no links in the body of this post since I am not verified
    I setup a new web application called "SharePoint 41171" with:
    Public URL:
    hzzp://testserver1:41171
    Claims authentication
    NTLM only: no forms auth
    No SSL
    New web site "SharePoint 41171"
    New app pool
    New content database
    I create a top level site collection and name mydomain\myusername as the primary site collection admin
    I am able to access this site as expected at
    hzzp://testserver1:41171 with the aforementioned site collection owner id: mydomain\myusername
    I add an alternate access mapping for a secondary URL for this web application in the Intranet zone:
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com
    So my AAMs for the site read as:
    hzzp://testserver1:41171    
    Default     hzzp://testserver1:41171
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com    
    Intranet     hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com
    When I attempt to log on to
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com with the same user name and password, I get "access denied".
    I can access this site using
    hzzp://iwatest.mydomain.com if I log in as the farm account.  This is the only account that seems to work.
    Side Note: If I create a separate web application without claims - just NTLM and create the same AAMs, I can login fine with the same secondary
    URL and the same user name
    IP address properly maps to this machine.
    I reviewed the ULS logs and find the following:

    Basically it tells me that access is denied.  I didnt see anything that stood out here.
    I found this article:
    hzzp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadminprevious/thread/ded9188b-ee03-4ef0-bb50-3ad138110e0c, which pointed me in the direction of ensuring that the portal
    super user and portal reader accounts were properly added to my web application.  I followed the every popular article on doing this:
    hzzp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758656.aspx, but still no luck.  As per the thread, I added the 2 domain accounts to the user policy with appropriate privilege
    and then set them as the super user and super reader accounts via powershell, and yes I did prefix those names with "i:0#.w|mydomain\".  To be exta sure, I repeated this for all web applications on this server with slightly different powershell steps
    depending on wether or not claims was enabled on the web application.
    The Claims to Windows Token Service is running.
    I saw some mention of ensuring that the secure token service is running with a proper application pool account, but we are not running that service
    and I cant imagine what that would have to do with my situation.
    I have deleted and readded the web application and repeated these steps to no better effect.
    I gave the mydomain\myusername full control for the web application through the user policy, ensured that it was indeed the primary site collection
    owner and added it to the default site owners group.  None of this helped.
    I changed the application pool account to the farm account.  No change in behavior.
    Rebooted IIS and the machines many times along the way.
    Further, when I attempt to sign in as a different user after being denied, I get "an unexpected error has occured message.  I found the following

    Thanks spadminspadmin:
    I have, though I am not sure that what I've added there is correct:
    The URL that I am trying to use to access the web application's IIS site is hxxp://iwatest.mydomain.com.  I added a binding to the IIS site as follows:
    Type    Host name                      port        IP address
    http     iwatest.mydomain.com     41171     *
    Is that correct?

  • Web application publishing

    Hello,
    I need to publish a few queries in the portal. I have created simple web templates for each of the queries and should publish each of them in a role. There has been created two new roles for these queries.
    Unfortunately I can't see the roles in WAD, so I can't publish the templates. According to the authorization guys the roles has been created and I've been given the roles. I'm not able to verify this as I don't have access to PFCG.
    What possible reasons can there be? I read something about migrating roles into the portal. Is it necessary to migrate the roles before being able to publish the web templates? Or could there be missing some special setting on the roles to open them for web publishing?
    We are using BW 3.5. I'm not sure if we are using EP 5.0 or 6.0, but I suppose it's the first one.
    Regards,
    Christoffer

    The function for publishing queries from the BEx Query Designer and Web applications from the BEx Web Application Designer directly to a portal role was deleted.
    Instead you can publish queries and Web applications to the portal as follows:
    &#9679;      You can publish queries from the BEx Query Designer and Web applications from the BEx Web Application Designer to the Portal Content Directory (PCD) as iViews.
    The iView only becomes visible to a user in the portal when the system administrator has assigned the iView to a portal role or a portal page that is contained in a portal role. This assignment takes place in the Portal Content Studio.
