  1. EAS301 - EAServer Tips and Tricks • Scott McReynolds • OEM/Solutions Engineering Manager • e-Business • scottmc@sybase.com

  2. Agenda • Tuning Tricks • Design Tricks • Troubleshooting Tricks

  3. OS Settings • Some settings must be made on the OS to improve performance. • Avoid "connection refused" errors by clients • ndd command deals with tcp/ip internet protocals • ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q • ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 • Should be set to at least 1024 • ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 1024 • ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 1024 • No reboot is required after setting the command

  4. OS Settings • Increase the number of allowable open files. • Can cause refused connections or increased wait time. • Edit the /etc/system file • set rlim_fd_cur=4096 • set rlim_fd_max=4096 • Reboot is required

  5. Flow Control • Flow control means limiting the number of threads that can do real works at the same time. • Handler threads are competing with each other for resources and creating traffic jams and eventually the response time of each thread degrades to an unaccepted degree. V.S.

  6. Flow Control com.sybase.jaguar.server.flowcontrol.http • Indicate if HTTP requests are subjected to flow control com.sybase.jaguar.server.flowcontrol.maxexethreads • A positive integer, to indicate the maximum number of concurrent execution threads allowed at one time. com.sybase.jaugar.server.flowcontrol.iiop • Indicate if IIOP requests are subjected to flow control NOTE: Deadlock situation under some client applications when IIOP is under flow control.

  7. Logging • Log4J Integration • The built-in EAS subsystem: • The ability to configure log levels • Messages below a specified level of severity are discarded. • Support for different logging configurations in the debug and production servers. • Optional archiving and compression of previous log file versions. • More control over message formatting.

  8. Lightweight EJB Container • Improves Performance for EJB -> EJB Communications. • Default for Server. com.sybase.jaguar.server.lwc • Component level Property. com.sybase.jaguar.component.lwc • EAServer activates the lightweight container for EJB-to-EJB calls as long as all of the following are true: • The LWC is enabled for the server and the called (target) component. • The calling (source) component uses an EJB reference or EJB local reference to make the call. • The LWC is compatible with the transaction and security properties of the calling (source) and called (target) components. • The LWC cannot be forced to activate. • Significant performance improvement with "Required" or "Requires New". • Object references cannot be marshalled.

  9. Connection Cache Settings com.sybase.jaguar.conncache.poolsize.max • maximum number of connections kept open in the cache. com.sybase.jaguar.conncache.poolsize.min • minimum number of connections kept open in the cache. com.sybase.jaguar.conncache.poolmanager.maxconnections • connections that can be allocated before determining whether to wait for a connection. • A value of 0 indicates that new connections should be opened whenever they are required. • If the number of open connections is greater than the value of poolsize.maxthe excess connections are not returned to the pool. com.sybase.jaguar.conncache.poolmanager.wait • Specifies whether to wait for a connection.

  10. EJB CMP Cache • Drivers to improve overall performance of CMP EJBs • Allowing updates to be deferred to the end of each transaction and sent together as a command batch.. • Reducing network round trips between the database server and EAServer. • Supports automatic creation of semi-temporary stored procedures. • Sybase Driver : com.sybase.ejb.cmp.SybaseDriver • Oracle Driver: com.sybase.ejb.cmp.OracleDriver • Lots of new Parms.. Check the documentation

  11. Purpose of Caching • EJB. • Improve performance by avoiding the loading of instance state at the start of each transaction. • Servlet/JSP. • Allows Servlet and JSP content to be cached by the server. • Drastically improves speed at which content is served to the user. • Initial benchmarks show over 60 X increase. • Caching is based on 7 different key parameters and a timeout parameter. • The response data (a byte array) and all the response headers are saved in the cache. • The cache is not persistent, and is not synchronized among servers in a cluster.

  12. Benefits of Object Cache • For update transactions, may be able to avoid any SQL “select” statements, while still having to execute a SQL “update” statement. • For read-only transactions, may be able to entirely avoid the execution of SQL statements. • For CMP entity finder methods that return collections, may be able to run one query instead of N+1 queries for finders returning a collection containing N entities.

  13. Performance Gain Depends On • Frequency of re-use of objects with same key,e.g. how often does a new transaction use the same entity as a previous transaction for which an entry is still present in the object cache. • Ratio of update to read-only transactions. • Size of data set (e.g. database table). • Size of object cache. • Configured timeout for cache entries.

  14. Cache Options/Simple Cache • Implement Java side Servlet cache which will cache outputs of Servlet/JSP in java core memory. • Fast response for Servlets or JSPs that the output will not be changed during the timeout period. com.sybase.jaguar.servlet.javacache.enabled • Default is false com.sybase.jaguar.servlet.javacache.session • Keep - If request includes session id, we'll try to get the session. • Create - If request includes session, we'll try to get the session. • No - Do not check or return "Set-Cookie" session header.

  15. Cache Options/Simple Caching - Continued com.sybase.jaguar.sevlet.javacache.maxsize • The value is the number of K bytes indicates the limit of the content size. • Default is 8k • Limit – 100 com.sybase.jaguar.sevlet.javacache.timeout • The timeout in seconds. • Default 60 • <= 0 means never expired.

  16. Cache Options/Cache Architecture • Interface CtsComponents::ObjectCache (basic operations: find, get, put, remove) • Component CtsComponents/ObjectCache (built-in implementation) • Configurable – each entity/stateful component can have its own cache configuration. Caching is disabled by default. • Pluggable - partners and end users can write their own cache implementations (components).

  17. Cache Options / ObjectCache Component • Built-in component is implemented in C++ for • two reasons: • Maximum performance • Cache data is not visible to Java VM garbage collector. This allows extremely large caches,e.g. 500Mb. • Cache implementations must use C++ or Java (requires the use of the “Bind Object” option).

  18. Role of Dispatcher • Before xxxFindByPrimaryKey converts instance key to binary form and calls ‘find’ on cache. • Before xxxLoad converts instance key to binary form and calls ‘get’ on cache. • After xxxCreate/xxxStore converts instance key & state to binary form and calls ‘put’ on cache. • After xxxRemove converts instance key to binary form and calls ‘remove’ on cache.

  19. Transaction Consistency (for update transactions) • Cache ‘put’ and ‘remove’ calls are only made after successful transaction completion, i.e. we never place uncommitted data in the cache. • Should be combined with optimistic concurrency control (OCC) - the default behaviour with Automatic Persistent State (CMP).

  20. Transaction Consistency (for read-only transactions) • Stale cache entries can cause problems for read-only transactions, which have no way to detect that they have used stale data. This can be handled: • By configuring Cache Timeout. • By configuring Cache Synchronization. • By arranging to be notified when updates are made to the underlying data, e.g. database trigger notifies cache to flush one or more entries.

  21. Component Settings • CMP Performance Settings • When to load data from the database within a transaction com.sybase.jaguar.component.load • By default beforeInvoke, beforeRemove • When to store data to the database within a transaction com.sybase.jaguar.component.store • By default afterCreate, afterInvoke

  22. Component Settings/CMP Settings (Continued) • To reduce load and stores com.sybase.jaguar.component.load • Change to afterBegin to do loads only after a begin transaction com.sybase.jaguar.component.store • Change to beforeComplete to only do stores before the completion of a transaction

  23. Component Settings/EJB Settings • Use local interface instead of remote interface • Causes less marshalling • Parms are passed by reference instead of by copy

  24. Component Settings/PB Components • Deployment of PB Components creates %JAGUAR%   Repository      Component         <Package Name>            <Component Name>.props            <Component Name>               C<n>                  <one or more PBDs implementing component>

  25. Component Settings/PB Components • Sharing Class Group Loaders • com.sybase.jaguar.component.pb.librarylist • Has a value of $PBD1.PBD;$PBD2.PBD;$PBD3.PBD;... • A unique instance of a class group loader is assigned to each distinct occurrence of a library list • The default will cause a unique library list for each PB component deployed because of the substitution that occurs

  26. Component Settings/PB Components • Sharing class group loaders - solution. • Include all PBLs containing the NVOs that are sharing resources in a single, combined library list. • Deploy each component as you normally just ensure you use the same deployment options in terms of PBL consolidation. • Use jaguar manager to modify the com.Sybase.Jaguar.Component.pb.librarylist property in the properties file of each component to be the exact same list by referencing a fully qualified path to the constituent PBDs. • Refresh the components. • Backup the changes to the components' properties files.

  27. Web Application Settings • Increase Listener settings • com.sybase.jaguar.listener.http.conn.maxrequests • It must be greater than the number of iterations of each client will run avoid unnecessary close of socket– key when doing stress testing. • If set to low can cause invalid server response • JSP Settings • Do not check if the JSP is outdated or not • com.sybase.jaguar.webapplication.jspc-interval=-1

  28. Web Application Settings • Turn off HTTP logging • Done via Jaguar Manager • Insure the number of threads is set correctly • Do not check if the JSP is outdated or not com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.maxthreads com.sybase.jaguar.server.maxconnections com.sybase.jaguar.server.maxthreads

  29. Web Application Settings • Turn on HTTP cache • Done via Jaguar Manager com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.debug com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.enable com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.exclude-files= com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.size com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.timeout com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.cache.webapps.exclude-files • Saves static HTML information • Pages • Images • Etc.

  30. Partial page caching • Partial page caching allows you to cache parts of a response. • Supported by a tag library for use in JSPs, and a public API for use in servlets. • Uses CacehTags.jar <%@ taglib uri="http://www.sybase.com/EAServer/cachetags.tld" prefix="ct"%> • To cache a portion of a page, surround it with this tag, as in: <ct:cache attributes> ... page content ... </ct:cache> • The API is implemented by class CacheManager • Create • Retrieve • Places Data in Cache • Flush

  31. Agenda • Tuning Tricks • Design Tricks • Troubleshooting Tricks

  32. Design Issues • No pooling objects • Programmatic pooling is available for objects implementing the COM ObjectControl or EJB 0.4 ServerBean interface. • canBePooled for PB/COM • canReuse for CORBA objects • Called if the pooled flag is not set. • Declarative pooling is available via “Pooling” check-box in Component Properties. • Stateful components cannot be pooled • A min and max pooling value can be set to help manage memory.

  33. Design Issues • Develop small components • one ancestor object gets inherited and code specific logic • Most components can be developed with two pbls • Keep library list small. • Publish one component per application. • This keeps the size of the component down • Create all datastores in the components constructor event and initialize the dataobject.

  34. Design Issues • Don’t over design too many inter-component calls kill performance and take up too many resources. • Only use PB components for shared components if it is not called from other components or if it’s meant to synchronize the calls. • Don’t use PB components as services if the component will run in a loop.

  35. Design Issues • Single Threading of objects • Concurrency not enabled • More copies needed then necessary • In PB, the PBD is locked during execution • SQL Issues • Using Large ResultsSets • Take lots of memory possibility 2 copies of used with TabularResults.ResultSet • Conversion could require processing and looping of entire ResultSet

  36. Design Issues • Untuned SQL • Slow Performance of the SQL within the DB • Mis-use of the connection caches • Not returning connections to the cache • Causes more JCM_FORCE connections • Use of JCM Wait • Makes client think the server is hung • Lots of I/O to the log • Provide a switch that will turn debugging on/off • Write to the log via the MessageService • Time delay in when it is written to the log.

  37. Agenda • Tuning Tricks • Design Tricks • Troubleshooting Tricks

  38. How to Get the Versions • PB Version • Windows: • GetFileVersionInfo window API. See sybase.com for the white paper • Solaris: • strings $JAGUAR/lib/libpbvm70x.so | grep Version • Turn on the verbose mode • Shows all of the classes that are loaded and when. • com.sybase.jaguar.server.jvm.verbose=true

  39. What Is the Log Telling Me • Starting Listeners Listener # 1: TestServer_iiop: Active: yes Protocol: 'IIOP': 'localhost',9000 Security Profile: '*NONE*' Jul 16 17:01:48 2002: Listener # 2: TestServer_http: Active: yes Protocol: 'HTTP': 'localhost',80 Security Profile: '*NONE*' Listener File Name - TestServer_iiop Protocol - IIOP Machine Name - localhost Port - 9000

  40. What Is the Log Telling Me • Start processes • Code set being used • Server's native codeset is iso_1 • Java Library to use. Important for NT service • Library: 'libjjdk12.dll' for component type 'java' • JIT Compiler Option turned on • com.sybase.jaguar.server.jvm.nojit • Java JIT Compiler enabled • Debug option turned on/off • Java component debugging disabled • JVM version • Java virtual machine initialized (version 10002) • Repository Location • Repository:C:\Program Files\Sybase\Jaguar CTS 3.5\Repository

  41. What Is the Log Telling Me • Other Processes • Jaguar IP address that is being used. • Host IP: 127.0.0.1 • The URL for the name server • NameServiceURL: iiop://0:0 • Timeout for • PermissionCache: Authorization cache timeout: 120 minutes • Starting EAServer Standard Services • Starting Services... • Started: Jaguar/Repository • Started: Jaguar/GarbageCollector • Started: Jaguar/JCM • Starting Jaguar Naming Services... • Started: CosNaming/NamingContext • Started: JaguarServlet/ServletService

  42. What Is the Log Telling Me • Other Processes (continued) Executing the run method of the services • Running: services... • Running: CosNaming/NamingContext • Running: Jaguar/GarbageCollector • Running: JaguarServlet/ServletService Name Services binding complete • Stopped: CosNaming/NamingContext Setting Quality of Protection • Authentication timeout period is 3600 seconds. • Note: authentication timeout can be disabled. • Authentication lockout period is 600 seconds. • Note: authentication lockout can be disabled.

  43. Generating a Java Stack Trace • When java components (EJB or CORBA) have errors it is good practice to create stack traces. • Done in the catch block • } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println (e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); • }

  44. Generating a Java Stack Trace • The output is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: powersoft.powerj.db.Transaction: method setRegisterName(Z)V not found at surfsidevideo.CleanupServiceImpl.create (CleanupServiceImpl.java:26) at surfsidevideo.CleanupServiceImpl.run (CleanupServiceImpl.java:120) at surfsidevideo._sk_SurfSideVideoPJ_CleanupService.invoke (_sk_SurfSideVideoPJ_CleanupService.java:48)

  45. Reading a Java Stack Trace • Error Message • java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: • Offending class/method • powersoft.powerj.db.Transaction: method setRegisterName • It Occurred at: • surfsidevideo.CleanupServiceImpl.create • In class • CleanupServiceImpl • At line 26 • The rest is where what called the class that failed

  46. How to Get Additional Information • Getting the IIOP stack • Tells all of the IIOP information that is sent and used by the server • com.sybase.jaguar.server.iiop.log • Client application issues, such as login failures • Component issues: • Method invocation errors • Result sets not returned as expected • Trouble connecting to the target database • Intercomponent call errors • Warning: This will create a LOT of output. Don’t leave on except for a short time.

  47. Is There a Way to Recover • JagRepair • Read only version of the server • Allows you to make configuration changes that may be causing the server to crash (OTS, Connection Cache, Service Components, etc.) • How do I start it • Serverstart –servername JagRepair • How do I connect to it? • UserName: jagadmin • Hostname: localhost • Port Number: 9000

  48. Intercomponent Calls • Naming Conventions • Proxy vs. Object Name • Always name the component something OTHER then the NVO name • Reduces confusion within the PBVM • May cause varying things to occur • Intercomponent Calls • Calling NVO should only access proxy • Compile into separate libraries • Name the Proxy different then the Object

  49. HTML DataWindow • Always use the JavaScript files • Reduces the download of the page • Make the DataWindow updateable • The Dataobject must be updateable • For External DataWindow define the table as dummy • client side scripting • column must be on the dataobject • must have a tab order greater then zero • Not Visible • Define a visible expression to make column invisible at runtime • For example, set the visible property expression to 0 • Pass the browser as an argument • HTML DataWindow get generate the best-looking view of your dataobject

  50. HTML DataWindow (Continued) • To validate the DataWindow • User the HTMLContextApplied event • Validates the data before the action is applied • Use a user-defined button • Causes the client side script to pass the context and action to your component • You can call SetHTMLAction • which will apply the context • it does not know what the action is so it will be ignored • After calling SetHTMLAction • datastore contains all inserted data, modified and deleted rows • Then validate and perform action
