Collecting data on first occurance of the problem can id in problem determination and timely resolution of defects. At IBM®, this process of collecting data on first occurance if often referred to as First Failure Data Capture (FFDC). Gathering this data before reporting a defect helps to understand the problem more quickly and thoroughly, which saves time analyzing data and reduces the time and mission affects in fixing defects. Several diagnostic capabilities are built into the Linux operating system that enable you to determine the application level problems and system level problems. Collecting FFDC logs early, even before opening a defect report, helps to quickly determine whether: Symptoms match known problems (rediscovery) A report can be identified and resolved as a not-a-defect problem A workaround to reduce severity exists

Learn to automate SQL Server operations using frameworks built from metadata-driven stored procedures and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Bring all the power of Transact-SQL (T-SQL) and Microsoft .NET to bear on your repetitive data, data integration, and ETL processes. Do this for no added cost over what you’ve already spent on licensing SQL Server. The tools and methods from this book may be applied to on-premises and Azure SQL Server instances. The SSIS framework from this book works in Azure Data Factory (ADF) and provides DevOps personnel the ability to execute child packages outside a project—functionality not natively available in SSIS. Frameworks not only reduce the time required to deliver enterprise functionality, but can also accelerate troubleshooting and problem resolution. You'll learn in this book how frameworks also improve code quality by using metadata to drive processes. Much of the work performed by data professionals can be classified as “drudge work”—tasks that are repetitive and template-based. The frameworks-based approach shown in this book helps you to avoid that drudgery by turning repetitive tasks into "one and done" operations. Frameworks as described in this book also support enterprise DevOps with built-in logging functionality. What You Will Learn Create a stored procedure framework to automate SQL process execution Base your framework on a working system of stored procedures and execution logging Create an SSIS framework to reduce the complexity of executing multiple SSIS packages Deploy stored procedure and SSIS frameworks to Azure Data Factory environments in the cloud Who This Book Is For Database administrators and developers who are involved in enterprise data projects built around stored procedures and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Readersshould have a background in programming along with a desire to optimize their data efforts by implementing repeatable processes that support enterprise DevOps.

Access much-needed information for building scalable, high-concurrency applications and deploying them against the Oracle Database. This new edition is updated to be current with Oracle Database 19. It includes a new chapter with troubleshooting recipes to help you quickly diagnose and resolve locking problems that are urgent and block production. Good transaction design is an important facet of highly-concurrent applications that are run by hundreds, even thousands, of users who are executing transactions at the same time. Transaction design, in turn, relies on a good understanding of how the database engine manages the locking of resources to prevent access conflicts and data loss that might otherwise result from concurrent access to data in the database. This book provides a solid and accurate explanation of how locking and concurrency are dealt with by Oracle Database. You will learn how the Oracle Database architecture accommodates user transactions, and how you can write code to mesh with the way in which Oracle Database is designed to operate. Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed covers in detail the various lock types, and also different locking schemes such as pessimistic and optimistic locking. Then you will learn about transaction isolation and multi-version concurrency, and how the various lock types support Oracle Database’s transactional features. You will learn tips for transaction design, as well as some bad practices and habits to avoid. Coverage is also given to redo and undo, and their role in concurrency. The book is loaded with insightful code examples that drive home each concept. This is an important book that anyone developing highly-concurrent applications will want to have handy on their shelf. What You Will Learn Avoid application lockups due to conflicts over accessing the same resource Understand how Oracle prevents one application from overwriting another’s modifications Create transaction designs that mesh with how Oracle Database is designed Build high-throughput applications supporting thousands of concurrent users Design applications to take full advantage of Oracle’s powerful database engine Gain a fundamental knowledge of Oracle’s transaction and locking architecture Develop techniques to quickly diagnose and resolve common locking issues Who This Book Is For Oracle developers and database administrators faced with troubleshooting and solving deadlocks, locking contention, and similar problems that are encountered in high-concurrency environments; and application developers wanting to design their applications to excel at multi-user concurrency by taking full advantage of Oracle Database’s multi-versioning and concurrency support

Can smartphone apps help track the spread of the novel coronavirus, privately and securely? In this report, Rob Pegoraro weighs the issue of whether mobile apps can help trace and then slow the spread of COVID-19 or will end up as just another episode of botched government procurement and application of technology. Apple and Google have recently devised a system to track COVID-19 infections anonymously using Bluetooth with iOS and Android smartphones. This development points a spotlight on a needed debate about balancing privacy and collecting useful data. Do privacy-optimizing techniques, such as federated learning and differential privacy, offer useful alternatives to building centralized databases that may later invite abuse? This report takes a close look at this subject and then provides recommendations for software developers, public health authorities, and elected officials who want to build on the Apple-Google API. Understand the scope of the problem, including how contact tracing can help slow and stop outbreaks Take a closer look at Apple and Google’s proposed remedy Learn how other countries including Singapore, India, France, and Australia have traced the spread of COVID-19 Examine the risk factors for adopting and using a decentralized system like the Apple-Google app
