MaintBeethoven: # 43876 (BDNT35541): Performance problem with Citrix

Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:58:15 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
When scrolling through an editable grid with a lot of date columns, the performance is very bad
when running it on a Citrix server. It sometimes takes 7-8 seconds.

When the date columns are hidden it becomes a lot faster.
With perfmon we noticed peaks with 100 % CPU usage on the bw.exe process.


Workaround
Hide date/time controls in the session.

Test Procedure

MaintBeethoven: # 43656 (BDUX35393): TECH-00000-05444: JVMI-2: Every bucket sent 
to the Java-VM leaks memory

Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 14:16:20 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
The tmboaserver Java-integration leaks memory during transfer of information. 
Ultimately this results in "out of memory" errors (or maybe crashes).

Workaround
Use JVMI-1 by setting jvmi_arch:1.

Test Procedure
Start the tmboaserver and process a lot of data while monitoring the process
size of the bshell. The size should not increase.

MaintBeethoven: # 43574 (BDUX35322): T 800-169055: DB driver: crash in check 
tables session (table tffbs110)

Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:49:36 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
The database driver may crash when a table contains a reference to another table,
but the definition of the reference is incorrect. For example, table tffbs110 
(a test table) contains a reference from a combined column (a column consisting 
of more than 1 normal column) to the text table tttxt001. The primary key of 
tttxt001 contains just 1 normal column. An insert on tffbs110 may result in a
crash.

Test Procedure
Run the "check tables" session on table tffbs110 (which contains an incorrect
reference to tttxt001). The session should report error 512, and the database
driver should not crash.

Affected Executables
all database drivers

MaintBeethoven: # 43561 (BDUX35302): bdbpre: Corrupt header generated when -I 
option used and when a table contains a BLOB column

Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:52:16 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
Bdbpre creates a corrupt table dump, when the -I option is used to specify
a list of tables, and one of the tables contains a BLOB column.

A pre dump with a BLOB table should have a header like the following:
	
	2009-05-16 08:26:12.680
	#$!pre-dump!$#010600vyISO-8859-1    
	#$!languages!$#

A pre dump without a BLOB table has a header like the following:

	2009-05-16 08:26:27.448
	#$!pre-dump!$#000600vyISO-8859-1    
	#$!languages!$#

Note the difference in the second line (0106 versus 0006). The first two digits
are the options, the last two digits the version. With a BLOB column the options
should contain the bit 01; without a BLOB it should not contain the bit 01.


Test Procedure
Create a table dump of a table containing a BLOB column, using the -I option.
Observe that the header is correct as described in Problem Description (Customer
Terms). Import the table dump, which should go without problems.

MaintBeethoven: # 43484 (BDUX35221): TECH-00000-05241: Audit: SNAT (sequence) is 
not strictly monotone increasing

Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 12:10:26 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
Auditserver is storing the sequences of transactions in the wrong order. For
instance. For Session Business Partners tccom4500m000 when you add a new business
partner then do role Ship to partner, audit is storing the sequence of these
transactions in the incorrect order.

Test Procedure
Enable auditing for a table (say dbtst000), and execute a 3GL script such as
the following.

	long ret

	dbtst000.key = 13
	ret = db.insert(tdbtst000)

	dbtst000.key = 14
	ret = db.insert(tdbtst000)

	ret = db.flush()

	dbtst000.key = 15
	ret = db.insert(tdbtst000)

	ret = commit.transaction()

Now view the audit file of this transaction. The SNAT should increase. Without
the fix the SNAT is reset to 1 after the db.flush().

MaintBeethoven: # 43421 (BDUX35117): TECH-00000-05323: ODBC: text_content() 
function returns HEX data when multiple companies are queried

Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 16:53:44 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
When the ODBC solution is used to query a table containing a text column, using
the text_content() function and multiple companies are queried, then a HEX string
is returned, and not the actual contents of the text.

If a single company is queried then the result is fine.

The problem occurs only when the column tttxt010.text is configured as a "binary
column" using the $BSE/lib/binarycolumns file or (MSQL specific) the $BSE/lib/msql/binarycolumns file.

Test Procedure
Make sure that the tttxt010.text column is stored in binary format. Execute a
SQL statement such as the following:

=09select company_nr, text, text_content( text, '2' )
=09from dbtst107
=09where text in (37,44)
=09=09and company_nr in ( 0,1 )

The correct text should be retrieved, and not a HEX string.

MaintBeethoven: # 43107 (BDUX34853): Oracle river: bad error handling of alter 
table commands gives wrong error codes

Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 17:32:33 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintBeethoven
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
If "convert to runtime" with option "reconfigure tables" checked is restarted and a column is 
added to a table then the second run not error 512 (ECORRUPTDD) but error 507 (ETABLEEXIST) is 
reported. This makes the process abort with error "serious error during reconfiguration".

This is incorrect.

If error 512 would be reported, then the "convert to runtime" would treat this error code as if
the reconfiguration was successful, and the process would not abort.

Test Procedure
Add a column to a table, and start the reconfig process twice. The second time error 512 should
be reported.
