Siebel on Sun Solaris: More Performance with Less mprotect() Calls

By default each transaction in Siebel CRM application makes a large number of serialized mprotect() calls, which in turn may degrade the performance of Siebel. When the load is very high on Siebel enterprise servers, the mprotect() calls are serialized by the operating system kernel resulting in high number of context switches and low CPU utilization.

If the application exhibits these pathological conditions, performance thus scalability of the application can be improved by reducing the number of mprotect() during run-time with the help of AOM tunable MemProtection=FALSE.

From the command line version of Siebel Server Manager, run:
change param MemProtection=False for comp <component_alias_name> server <siebel_server_name>

where:
component_alias_name is the alias name of the AOM component to be configured, such as SCCObjMgr_enu for the Call Center Object Manager; and

siebel_server_name is the name of the Siebel Server for which the component being configured.

The MemProtection parameter is hidden; and the value of this parameter is TRUE by default.

For more information about this tunable on Solaris platform, check Siebel Performance Tuning Guide Version 7.7 or 8.0 in Siebel Bookshelf.

My First Bug Report in Open Source Arena

.. is against Firefox.

Complete bug report with reproducible steps is at:

378847 – Preserve form and search history as soon as the data is entered

Perhaps I should fix it. It is the right time to start building the Firefox web browser on my own, I guess.

Similarities between {Garfield, [Dilbert}, Seinfeld]

First, the fact: I'm a big fan of Jim Davis' comic strip, Garfield, Scott Adams' comic, Dilbert, and the sitcom Seinfeld.

Garfield Vs Dilbert

Recently I've been reading Dilbert comic strips from mid 90s; and I couldn't help but notice some striking similarities in the way both Jon Arbuckle (Garfield's owner) and Dilbert (Dogbert's owner) crave to get a date or how they ruin their date, when they have one. There are similarities in the sarcastic comments made by Garfield and Dogbert too, toward their owners Jon and Dilbert respectively.

Dilbert Vs Seinfeld

Unlike Dilbert, Seinfeld is too smart to get as many dates as he like; but it appears both Dilbert and Seinfeld follow the same etiquette when they run into the same person more than once in the same day. For instance, in one of the Dilbert strips titled Hallway Etiquette, Scott suggests the following simple three rules, with Dilbert as one of the characters in the comic strip:
  1. First hallway meeting of the day: Greet Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening.

  2. Second hallway meeting of the day: Raise your eye-brows and give a tight-lipped smile.

  3. Third hallway meeting of the day (and there after): Sneeze to avoid eye contact, try to hide etc.,
I don't remember the exact Seinfeld episode (there are just too many), but in one of those 176 episodes, Jerry Seinfeld makes similar suggestions to his audience in the opening monologue or to his friends, George Costanza, Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer, in the play.

In another Dilbert comic strip, Dilbert and his co-worker asks a lady "When's the baby due?". "Can't a woman go off her diet for one day without getting that question??" replies the irked lady, just like the character Maryedith responds to Kramer's "Are you sure you're not pregnant?" in The Parking Space episode of Seinfeld.

It is a small world - I wonder who inspired whom.

Solaris tip: Retrieving the package name for a file

Q: Given a file name {with absolute path}, how do we retrieve the package name which the file belongs to?

There are at least two simple ways:
  1. Look into /var/sadm/install/contents file, or
  2. Run /usr/sbin/pkgchk with -l, -p as options and the absolute path as argument
eg.,
To find out what package /usr/sbin/fcinfo belongs to:
# grep /usr/sbin/fcinfo /var/sadm/install/contents | awk '{ print $10 }' | sort -u

SUNWfcprt
Or
# pkgchk -l -p /usr/sbin/fcinfo

Pathname: /usr/sbin/fcinfo
Type: regular file
Expected mode: 0555
Expected owner: root
Expected group: bin
Expected file size (bytes): 50784
Expected sum(1) of contents: 49262
Expected last modification: Dec 04 05:22:58 2006
Referenced by the following packages:
SUNWfcprt
Current status: installed
