Re: [flexcoders] Flex License(s) Performance
I'll take a stab at a high level. Comments inline below On 7/19/05, jwc_wensan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To All: I have asked MM and have not gotten what I see as a reasonable answer. Their own website says that the typical application would need 6-8 licenses. Let's take this example server: Dell Server @ 3.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM JRUN4 Win 2000 Server 1 Flex license MySQL database on same server Assume sufficient internet bandwidth. Using RemoteObjects for data access. Do I need any other software? Well, you have Flex for your presentation tier and MySQL as your database tier, but you need a middleware tier (ColdFusion, Java, .NET, etc.) to communicate between the two. You don't write queries and place them in your ActionScript/MXML code. With the above scenario how many simultaneous users can adequately access the server before I would need a second server? Or is it better to ask how many per hour? It's an annoying answer, but: It Depends. Seriously. How many users will be accessing the application? What are they going to be doing? Is it a public or internal site? There are so many project-specific questions that are unique to your environment, that I defy anybody external to your company and not familiar with what you're doing to accurately give you performance statistics. And yes, that even goes for Macromedia's own 6-8 licenses remark. Would going to 2 GB RAM make any difference? If you insist on keeping the database on the same box as your Flex/J2EE server, then absolutely, I would recommend going to 2 GB RAM. I would not deploy a production-level Flex application with anything less than 1 GB or RAM for the Flex instance itself. Again, see above where I say that it depends on your requirements, but this has been my experience. If I moved MySQL to another server, would that cause any major issues? It shouldn't, and it's something I would recommend if you have the infrastructure to accomodate the separation. Physical separation of tiers is a good thing, as it can help eliminate critical points of failure if a server dies. Also, I read somewhere that RemoteObjects is faster. Is it a signficant increase? I would read this blog entry and the Flex Server Performance article it references, as there are some benefits to using ROs, but also some gotchas: http://tomlink.net/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=DE53AA15-7E97-A3B0-E08327BED0699516 Regards, Dave. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

See Ted's entry here about scaling Flex: http://www.powersdk.com/ted/2005/05/scaling-flex.php I completely agree with him as well. I don't have Flex running on the server at all. Instead, I take my Flex-compiled .swf and place it on a typical web server. Then, the Flex application is delivered as a .swf and there's no need for the server to do any extra processing at all. I've never had a server crash because it couldn't send out .swf files fast enough. Keep in mind though, you'll need a Flex license for every server the .swf file sits on. You can use RemoteObjects without a Flex server running as well, but you'll need to use another AMF gateway such as OpenAMF (or you can use ColdFusion). If you use WebServices, you might need a little shim script to get around the security restrictions of the Flash Player (loading data across domains), depending on what server the web services are located on. Also, I read somewhere that RemoteObjects is faster. Is it a signficant increase? In general RemoteObjects are faster because it uses AMF, which is a binary format and much less verbose than WebServices. It's hard to give a definite yes/no answer because I've actually seen results go both ways... -d -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

If you buy a 2CPU you can deploy on 2 Servers (each having 1 cpu) right?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex license
Well your then reselling flex over and over in smaller pieces... in that your buying the server as you company X to use as many times as you want provided you don't resell that server to company Y unless authorized?

re: [flexcoders] Flex license install
Hi Mark. "and I need to recompile and redeploy the apps." - Redeploy meaning... you compile, and copy the swf's somewhere else? Welp, you can't do that, the SWF's will expire as you've noted. Also the MM Flex license forbids doing that anyways.

The apps are pre-compiled on my local machine anddeployedto the app server as a war file. As my trial of flex has expiredon my local machine, I am running with the Developer Edition enabled. Partof the Ant deployment script is to install the license on the war filebefore it is deployed to the web container. This seems to run fine andreports back that the license is enabled.When I run the licensetool on the appserver on both the deployed directoryand war file it reports back the following:The license key was successfully installed.Retrieving licensing information, please wait ...02/2316:17:55 INFO License Service: Flex 1.5 Educational Edition enabledAfter about a 24 hour period when the application initialises I get themessage that "This standalone application was created with the Developeredition" and I need to recompile and redeploy the apps.The Developing Flex Apps doc mentions that "If you precompile a Flex SWFfile, you can deploy it only on a server that is running a licensed copy ofFlex."Is there something I am missing?ThanksMarkYahoo!
