The Configure System command line utility allows you to configure AB Suite runtime for performance optimization. This utility configures the SQL Server features to enhance the process of data retrieval and subsequently optimize the performance of AB Suite runtime. You can use the utility to configure AB Suite runtime for accessing the LDL+ commands such as Determine, Lookup, and ForEach The utility also allows you to configure the COM+ features to optimize the AB Suite runtime system. Following are the SQL Server and COM+ features that you can configure via the utility:
Use the SQL Datareader feature when reading from the database via the LDL+ commands. The LDL+ commands include Determine, Lookup, and ForEach. You can configure a runtime system to use Datareader selectively for all or part of a system.
Set the "Transaction Isolation Level", which specifies how records are locked.
Set the Phased SQL versus Non-phased SQL for database reads. During the execution of the Determine commands, the construction and submission of the SQL SELECT statement varies depending on the setting of phased versus non-phased SQL.
Define the "Multi" behavior while executing the Determine commands. You can define the "Multi" behavior when multiple database records need to be retrieved.
Application Pooling and Recycling, Object Pooling, and Role settings
Application Pooling COM+ feature allows you to run multiple instances of an application through concurrent users. By default, COM+ executes a single instance of an application, which is represented by a single running process (DLLHost.exe). A single instance of an application is capable of executing multiple threads and therefore executes multiple transactions simultaneously, thereby supporting many concurrently connected users.
The Application Recycling feature stops and restarts individual instances of an application to keep the various instances of an application always new. The COM+ recycling feature is automatic and seamless without disconnecting or impacting any user.
You can specify roles for specific user names.
Refer to the SQL Server documentation for more information about the SQL Server features.
This utility is automatically installed with Agile Business Suite runtime and is located in the AB Suite 7.0 installation directory. You can invoke the utility from a command line.
Note: By default, only a local administrator can use ConfigureSystem.exe.
To run ConfigureSystem.exe from a command line:
Point to the bottom-left corner of the screen to enable the Start icon, right-click Start, and then click Run.
Type cmd in the Run dialog box and press Enter to open a command prompt.
In the command prompt, change the working directory to the /bin folder of the AB Suite 7.0 installation directory.
cd C:\Program Files\Unisys\AB Suite 7.0\BinType ConfigureSystem.exe /?.
This displays the complete usage of the utility including the parameters
and usage of the four SQL and COM+ features stated previously.
