If the maximum queuing time for a service provider is equal or close to the queuing timeout parameter and there are queuing timeouts listed, consider the following changes: · · Increase the queuing timeout parameter for the service Increase the number of service providers available, either controlled by the same Job Server host or by a different Job Server If you find that the average time in the queue is longer than the average processing time, the traffic for this service is too high for the resources provided. Consider running multiple service providers to process the same message type. You can add the same job many times in the service list, or you can add the same job controlled by a different Job Server on a separate computer to the service list. If you find that the average queuing time is growing, consider increasing the queuing timeout or adding processing resources. · Processing timeouts If you see processing timeouts and service providers restarting successfully, consider increasing the number of processing retries allowed for the service. Data Integrator Administrator Guide 97 8 Real-Time Performance Using statistics and service parameters 98 Data Integrator Administrator Guide Data Integrator Administrator Guide Adapters chapter 9 Adapters Overview This chapter describes how to add an adapter to the Data Integrator system, how to start an adapter instance, and how to monitor an adapter's operation instances. Specific topics include: · · · · Overview Adding and configuring adapter instances Starting and stopping adapter instances Monitoring adapter instances Overview A Data Integrator adapter is a Java program that allows Data Integrator to communicate with front-office and back-office applications. Depending on the adapter implementation, Data Integrator adapter capabilities include the ability to: · · · Browse application metadata Import application metadata into the Data Integrator repository Move batch and real-time data between Data Integrator and information resource applications Data Integrator adapters can handle the following types of metadata: tables, documents, functions, outbound messages, and message functions. Each of these can be used in real-time or batch jobs. Outbound messages and message functions are the only objects that include operations. An adapter can process several predefined operations. An operation is a unit of work or set of tasks that the adapter completes. Operations include: · · · Taking messages from an application and send them to a real-time service for processing, possibly returning a response to the application Taking messages from a real-time service and send them to an application for processing, possibly returning a response to the real-time service Taking messages produced by a function call inside a real-time service, send the messages to an application, and return responses to the function An adapter connects Data Integrator to a specific information resource application. You can create one or more instances of an adapter. Each adapter instance requires a configuration file. That configuration file defines the operations available. 100 Data Integrator Administrator Guide Adapters Overview 9 All adapters communicate with Data Integrator through a designated Job Server. You must first install an adapter on the Job Server's computer before you can use the Administrator and Designer to integrate the adapter with Data Integrator. See your specific adapter's documentation for its installation instructions. After installing the adapter, configure its instances and operations in the Administrator before creating adapter datastores in the Designer because you must select an adapter instance name as part of an adapter datastore configuration. It might help to think of the Adapter Instances node of the Administrator as part of your adapter datastore configuration. To create an adapter datastore connection in the Designer: First, configure an adapter instance. Use the Server Manager utility to configure a Job Server that supports adapters and an associated repository -- See "Adapter considerations" on page 26 and "Configuring Job Servers or Access Servers after installation" on page 91 of the Data Integrator Getting Started Guide. Use the Administrator to: 1. b. · · · · 2. Add a connection to the Job Server's associated repository by selecting Management > Repositories > Add. [. . . ] To perform an abort and restart of the Access Server Select Real-Time > "Access Server" > Status. Under Life Cycle Management, click Abort and Restart. Click Real-Time Services to verify that all services started properly. 1. 3. 180 Data Integrator Administrator Guide Data Integrator Administrator Guide Business Objects Information Resources appendix A Documentation and information services Documentation and information services Business Objects offers a full documentation set covering its products and their deployment.
