Application Performance Monitoring

Tools in InterSystems technology

Back in August in preparation for Global Summit I published a brief explanation of Application Performance Management (APM). To follow up on that I have written and will be publishing over the coming weeks a series of articles on APM.

One major element of APM is the construction of a historic record of application activity, performance and resource usage. Crucially for APM the measurement starts with the application and what users are doing with the application.

We have an web application accessed using https, that uses CSP technology with frames.

The initial 'login' is via a single CSP page, which then redirects to another CSP page which creates the frames (4 in all) and loads a CSP page in each of those.  For the most part the frames load without error, but sometimes when logging in and sometimes while using the system ' 5916 Illegal CSP Request ' errors occur.

I say 'login' in inverted commas as a Cache login is not performed just an application login, I don't know if that's relevant so thought I'd mention it.

Does anyone know how to return the sys.process table with the corresponding configname item for each process? Also, is there a key for the Job Type field? 

I have restored one database from backup, but when I query from some of tables,   prompt error :

this error remain after restart Caché service

I can skip this error with %nolock in select query.

My question is: 

1. why there were locks after restart service?

2. Can I release/rollback these locks by sql so I can query without %nolock?

I have a query that I am attempting to run, but inner query is being rolled up into the overall query - per the optimizer (and jobexam observation).  While I know that if the inner query runs first, I will eliminate a number of records (making the result set smaller, and return quicker).

Just an example of what I am attempting to do:

select Account.Name, Account.State, Transaction.Amt, Transaction.Date, Transaction.Service
from Transaction 
left join Account 
    on Account.Id = Transaction.Account  
where Account.Id in (
    Select Account.Name
     from Account
     where Account.

We are almost there : after this challenge, only 5 days left till the end of this advent of code (I cannot wait to get my life back !) .

The challenge of day 20 is about a list of integer ranges. Some ranges overlap,  but there are also values that are outside any range.

You have to find out what is the lowest integer that is outside any range.

Today's challenge is a variation on the White Elephant gift exchange (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange), in this case, by a bunch of Elves where only one can have all gifts.

Each Elf brings a present. They all sit in a circle, numbered starting with position 1. Then, starting with the first Elf, they take turns stealing all the presents from the Elf to their left.

You walk into a room, step on a tile and hear a loud click...

Traps !

The challenge is about avoiding traps.

You can recognise if a tile is a trap by following scheme :

The first row is a given : a safe tile is shown as . and a trap is shown as ^

The challenge today is again a-maze-ing (as a wellknown president would say).

The maze has a bunch of doors ( | and - on the drawing), but they can be locked depending on a hash that you need to calculate every step.

I'm trying to write a method to Export SQL Privileges from an instance by namespace, user, or roles. I've found two classes that might work:

• ##class(Security.Users).Export
• ##class(Security.SQLPrivileges).Export

One (Security.Users) exports an XML file and the other (Security.SQLPrivileges) exports an SQL file.

Neither of these options allows me to specify specific users or roles to export so I'll have to use them in tandem with something else. Is there something else that I should be using or do I need to find a way to filter on the backend with regular expressions or the like?

Any suggestions on the most efficient way to convert yyyymmdd string to mm/dd/yyyy?

Hi All, I need the what are all the global having subscript and value contain what I have the value.How to find out?

The challenge of day 16 is about generating random data using a modified version of a dragon curve (you can find more info on fractal curves like Dragon here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve).

First you need to generate data in a loop as follows :

Create an initial state with your puzzle input

Call the data you have at this point "a".
Make a copy of "a"; call this copy "b".

I'm looking for information, suggestions, video (courses) on make a lot more use of the documatic system already built into Cache,

Probably talked of before within this forum, but after an hour or two of searching, can't find the articles that I mmay have seen before.

I want to do a lot more documenting of my installation, we use and actively comment classes and methods, but I want to take it further by actually documenting the "why" and high level "how" my system works. Documatic seems a good place to put that knowledge.

Can anyone suggest suitable Cache ObjectScript syntax for open/use/read statements on a simple ms-dos text file.
I've tried various examples seen on the web but they appear to be implementation specific.
I used MSM MUMPS many years ago but am now retired & would like to write a few simple routines for my own amusement & mental challenge.
I am using the free Version of Cache (V 2017.1) on my Windows 10 PC. The installation file was CachePCkit_x64.exe
My apologies for this query being very basic.

Hello Caché Guru,

I'm new to Cache system. I'm trying to do something like saving meta data in Relational DB:

I could use "management portal" -> System Explorer->SQL to view individual table's catalog details or print out the column definition. However I need to gather those information for several hundreds of tables in the DB. Is there a way to do it using command line in kind of batching mode?

Any hint and tip is very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Victor

One for Luca, perhaps?

Interesting article here:

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/containers-aren%E2%80%99t-just-applicati…

Would this be a fit for Cache / IRIS containerisation?

Not sure I fully "get" what's being proposed in the article, mind you.

The challenge for today consists of capsules that bounce through a maze of spinning discs.
The capsule can fall through a hole of each disc if they hit the disc at position 0,  each disc has a fixed amount of positions that rotate every second.
The distance between the release and the first disc is one second, as is the distance between each consecutive disc as well.

I am using Cache FTP classes to download from a FTP site files, that include zip files.

I can retrieve the whole file into a stream, but it contains a lot garbage.

In trying to understand Atelier I am directed to go through its hierarchy type of documentation.

Is the Atelier documentation going to continue as a hierarchy or at some point is it going to be integrated into the InterSystems type of documentation?

When looking for an answer it would be nice to use only one method.

Hi,

How can i create Task for background process and use JOB in that task.

Hi, folks!

Consider I need to perform some logic which should fire because values of object properties has been changed.

Is there ANY reason for using class callbacks %OnBeforeSave or %OnAfterSave instead of Trigger?

I have a couple of new namespaaces/databases that are read-only.  I don't remember changing them to read-only, and although my username has %all (I installed the system), I am unable to change the "Always mount as read-only" property.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Laura

The challenge today is about some basic cryptography : you will have to generate data for a one-time pad (OTP) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad for more info).

You need to generate keys by taking the MD5 of a pre-arranged salt (your puzzle input), and an increasing integer index starting with 0.

Hi communauty

I've two columns in my table and the type must be interval of integer values for example : age must be interval between [2 and 6] years and wigth between [10 and 30 ] Kg , how can i define them when creating my table?

thank's

Hi communauty

i work on the Oauth2 authentification patry in my application , i read a lot of documentation , but i don't know exactly what does it mean by Claims values and the method "SetClaimValue", what does it do really?

can anyone explain for me.

Thank's.

I’ve hit the wall. I’m a one person shop who wants to start developing Cache on a mac using Eclipse/Atelier, after using Studio for the last 5 years. I’ve installed the 1.1 beta plugin, watched 6 or 7 videos from the September conference, tried several times to work through the cheat sheets, only to have connection issues or compilation issues, so at this point, I’m feeling very frustrated. The videos were interesting, but generally didn’t work as tutorials for fundamental programming operations, for me.

When a class containing a method generator is compiled, the code that implements the method at runtime is written according to the instructions in the method definition. 

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem on a sign-up screen, what happens is that this screen is not reloaded after clicking save, and that's where the problem arises, on that screen it is possible to upload images, but as everything is loaded with submit, the record would have to be updated so I had all the information, which does not happen.
With this I'm trying to find a way to get the information from the file loaded in the "file" component to get the data in "% request.MimeData".
The only way I've found it so far has been to reload the whole page, but that's all I do not want to do.

A third party developer has asked for access to the documentation of my classes so he can understand my tables/classes better.

• How do I give access the the documentation of my classes (single namespace)  and secondary, do I need to give  him access to %system. (and others)
• Is it possible to block the likes of ensemble, Iknow, deepSee etc. I don't use those, and I don't want him to waste time (and my money) exploring areas that simply not necessary
• what privilege roles do I need to give him  whilst still maintaing security.
