摘要:
An application workload capture and replay system with a transactionally consistent application workload replay feature is provided. More particularly, the feature includes capture-phase components for capturing and recording a real application workload submitted to a production web application system and includes replay-phase components for replaying the captured application workload against a test web application system in a transactionally consistent manner. The feature provides guarantees about the order of database transactions that are caused when the workload is replayed such that there is a consistency between the replay-phase order of the database transactions and the order of those transactions that occurred when the workload was captured. These consistency guarantees facilitate a faithful reproduction of database changes observed in the production web application system in the test web application system using a captured real application workload. Significantly, this faithful reproduction may be accomplished without having to create a synthetic application workload that approximates or emulates the transactional behavior of the real application workload. Instead, a real application workload may be used as or substantially as it is captured.
摘要:
A database system providing transactionally consistent replay of application workloads. In a database system, a method providing transactionally consistent replay of application workloads comprises the steps of: during a replay phase in which a plurality of application requests that were previously submitted to an application server system during a capture phase are being replayed, receiving, at a database server, a database request to execute a database command against a database. The database request specifies an application request identifier that identifies a particular application request of the plurality of application requests. The particular application request caused the database command to be executed previously during the capture phase. In response to receiving the database request, determining, based on the application request identifier in the database request, whether to delay execution of the database command at least until a particular replay-phase database transaction has been committed.

A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for preserving data dependency during replay of database commands without strictly preserving a global ordering of the database commands is provided. A capture process captures a workload of database commands executed by a production system. The captured workload includes object identifiers that identify database objects that were referenced directly or indirectly during execution of the database commands by the production system. The captured workload also includes an indication of whether the database objects were potentially read or written during execution of the commands. The workload is processed to determine that an object accessed during execution of a command was previously modified during execution of one or more other commands. A replay process on a test database system prevents the command from being replayed until after the one or more other commands have been replayed to modify the object.

An infrastructure is provided for gathering diagnostic data that is relevant to an error or other conditions detected in a monitored system. A diagnosability framework is provided that automates the gathering of relevant diagnostic data upon occurrence of the condition in the monitored system. In one embodiment, context data is determined for the condition detected in the monitored system. A rule-based engine is provided that is configured to automatically determine one or more actions to be performed for the condition detected in the monitored system based on the determined context data. The actions may include performing tasks that gather diagnostic data that is relevant to the detected condition, store the gathered diagnostic data in a repository, recommend one or more diagnostic actions to a user, and other diagnostic related actions.

Techniques for controlling collection of diagnostic data in a monitored system. A set of flood control rules are configured for the monitored system for controlling the gathering of diagnostic data in the monitored system. The set of flood control rules may include one or more default flood control rules. The set of flood control rules are user-configurable enabling the user of the monitored system to set policies for dynamically controlling gathering of diagnostic data for the monitored system. In one embodiment, diagnostic data gathering is controlled based upon a number of previous occurrences of a condition in some predefined or user-configured time frame that triggers diagnostic data gathering and/or a number of previous executions of an action performed in some predefined or user-configured time frame responsive to the condition in the monitored system.
摘要:
Techniques for non-intrusive performance of diagnostic actions including actions that result in gathering of diagnostic data in response to a condition detected in a monitored system. In one embodiment, the diagnostic actions are performed asynchronously by processes or threads that are different from the failing process or thread that receives or detects the condition that triggers the diagnostic actions such that the failing process or thread can continue processing without being affected by the executions of the diagnostic actions. Multiple asynchronous processes or threads that are different from the failing process or thread may be spawned to perform multiple diagnostic actions in parallel. The asynchronous processes or threads may be monitored to ensure that they do not adversely impact the monitored system.

Embodiments of the present invention enable the generation and display of active reports. Applications of the present invention include its use in embodiments of a web-based product for managing an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure although the present invention is not limited to such applications. In embodiments, an active report is an active report file comprising report data and a user interface (UI) reference to a network location of code that defines an interactive UI comprising graphical user interface (GUI) components to be rendered when displaying the report data. In embodiments, the interactive UI is defined by UI code (such as an Adobe Flash Small Web Format (SWF) file) that also defines the UI of a rich internet application (RIA). In embodiments, the UI reference may be a link designating a location to the location of the UI code on a network, such as the Internet.

摘要:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with hybrid optimization strategies in automatic SQL tuning are described. One example method includes receiving a first (e.g., cost-based) execution plan for a user structured query language statement (User SQL) from a first (e.g., cost-based) optimizer. The example method may also include receiving a second (e.g., rules-based) execution plan for the User SQL from a second, different (e.g., rules-based) query optimizer. The method may include identifying a preferred execution plan based on data produced by test executing the execution plans in a reproduced execution environment that reproduces at least a portion of an execution environment in which the user SQL runs. The method may also include controlling a database to execute the User SQL using the preferred execution plan.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the invention provide solutions to allow more sophisticated management of the relationship between a database and its clients (which can be, inter alia, end users, business applications, etc.). Merely by way of example, some embodiments can facilitate the management of work requests in a database, as well as the management of the quality-of-service in a database system. In some embodiments, an identification handle may be assigned to a database work request. A database management application can use the identification handle to identify the work request, as well, perhaps, as any related work requests. The identification handle may also identify the database (and/or an instance thereof) and/or a clustered database node, and the identification handle may be transmitted to a mid-tier application, e.g., to notify the mid-tier about the processing of the work request, changes in quality-of service, server availability, etc.
