Re: Arplugin dies with 0 every 90 seconds

2008-01-30 Thread ZHANG, ERIC L
I commented out REMEDY.ARF.CAI plugin (libcaieventcmd.so) in ar.conf and the arplugin still crashed every 90 seconds. I went on to try each plugin one by one in ar.conf and found out the cause of the problem: ardbcQuery (libardbcQuery.so). The plugin is used to query the overview console and

Will - you should know by now that when I say should I don't mean in an ideal world :) What would of course be preferable is some sort of open-platform API that was secure. But as you state - that will happen right along the time my taxes give me cash back! Hey Will - give me a call when you

Re: Slow saving Active Links after ITSM app install

2008-01-30 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
That makes sense. If you watch the Server SQL log when you select Active Links in the Admin tool (when you have the Details displayed) it pulls data for the active links by ID in groups of 200. Filters, on the other hand, do the pull of data in a single SQL statement. Fred

Hi! Rick's right about the issue, but there is a workaround. The problem is not in saving the active link, but in refreshing the list of links afterwards. I have found two modes of operation that make this performance acceptable (for me - your milage will vary). The first is to set your View

To try and figure this one out you can turn on plugin logging and set it at a high detail level. Then try again. I sometimes get this when I'm making a plugin call to a web service that times out or something similar...the log helps narrow down exactly what is erroring out. _ From:

This is the root of the problem. The admin tool downloads details for all active links when veiwing details every time a refresh of the active link list needs to be updated. This equates to around 12mb of data sent over the wire on our servers for each refresh. It's slow even on a fast network,
