OpenEdge Session Tracing

TheMadDBA — Sun, 02 Aug 2015 21:06:41 +0000

Tuning OpenEdge application code can be daunting for a beginner. Although the tools required to debug and tune your code are available in the 4GL, they are not always easy to use and understand. This toolset aims to simplify the process of tuning without requiring major (or any) changes to your code.

Database Activity Monitor

Richard Elvin — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:48:37 +0000

A ChUI Database Activity Monitor that asks you to select a database connection. Database activity for that connection is then displayed in a browses - there is a Table view and an Index view. Reads / Creates / Updates by Table or Index. The activity is read from _UserTableStat and _UserIndexStat VSTs. There is a one minute auto-refresh, or it can be refreshed manually by pressing the space bar. There is a hotkey to display the stack trace for the connection, but statement caching must be enabled for this to work. There is an option to reset all stats to Zero.

ABL2DB - Databasing ABL information for Analysis

tamhas — Wed, 28 May 2014 15:51:51 +0000

The ABL compiler provides some valuable tools for analyzing individual compile units, but this information can become far more valuable if systematically gathered into a database and supplemented with other information and analysis tools. Presentation on this project can be found at http://cintegrity.com/content/Databasing-ABL-Code-and-Data-Relationships and http://cintegrity.com/content/How-Can-I-Fix-Applied-Use-ABL2DB%0B-Real-W... .

There is a capability built in to ABL to provide run-time execution detail on a program. It collects execution times on blocks of code so that one can evaluate performance. It returns:

Line numbers.
Number of repetitions.
Average time.
Cumulative time.

It can be used by:

-profile run time parameter. Profiles whole session, but does not require modifying code.
