Information on Data Sources

The following MBeans provide information about the data sources defined on the Server:

GlobalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean

The GlobalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean aggregates information about the number of data sources on the Virtual DataPort Server and how many active requests they are processing. This MBean is located at com.denodo.vdb.management.mbeans > DataSourceManagementInfo.

Attributes of the GlobalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean

The GlobalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean has these attributes:

  • TotalDataSourceCount: number of data sources of any type on the Virtual DataPort Server.

  • TotalActiveRequestCount: number of current requests to any data source on the Virtual DataPort Server.

  • For every type of data source there is an attribute with the number of data sources and the number of active requests to that type of source.

  • ITPMaintenanceDataSourceCount: number of Web (WWW) sources that have the maintenance option enabled.

  • ITPMaintenanceActiveRequestsCount: number of current requests to Web sources that have the maintenance option enabled.

LocalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean

Each Virtual DataPort database has a LocalDataSourceManagementInfo MBean, which has the same attributes as GlobalDataSourceManagementInfo, but only considers the data sources that belong to that database. This MBean is located at com.denodo.vdb.management.mbeans > DataSourceManagementInfo > database name.

DataSourceManagementInfo MBean

Each data source has its own MBean in com.denodo.vdb.management.mbeans > DataSourceManagementInfo > database name > data source type > data source name. It provides information about the number of requests to that specific data source, about its pool of connections and about the last ping invocation.

Attributes of the DataSourceManagementInfo MBean

Each DataSourceManagementInfo MBean has the following attributes:

  • DatabaseName: name of the data source database.

  • DataSourceName: name of the data source.

  • DataSourceType: type of the data source, which can take one of the following values:

    • CUSTOM. Note that internally, Excel files are actually CUSTOM data sources.

    • DF (delimited files)

    • ESSBASE (Oracle Essbase Multidimensional DB)

    • GS (Google Search)

    • ITP (Web - ITPilot)

    • JDBC

    • JSON

    • LDAP

    • ODBC

    • OLAP (OLAP multidimensional DB)

    • SALESFORCE

    • SAPBWBAPI (SAP BI 7.x BAPI and SAP BW 3.x BAPI Multidimensional DB)

    • SAPERP (BAPI)

    • WS (SOAP Web services)

    • XML

  • NumRequests: Number of requests made on the data source since the start of the Server.

  • ActiveRequests: Number of active requests to the data source.

  • MaxActive, NumActive and NumIdle (only for JDBC and ODBC sources). Provide information about the pool of connections with the source:

    • MaxActive: maximum number of connections in the pool.

    • NumActive: number of connections established with the source that are being used to execute a query.

    • NumIdle: number of idle connections established with the source.

  • isMaintenanceEnabled (only for ITPilot - Web sources): true if the maintenance option is enabled.

  • PingStatus, PingExecutionTime, PingDuration and PingDownCause (only for JDBC, ODBC, LDAP, OLAP, SAPBWBAPI, SAPERP and SALESFORCE sources). Provide information about the last ping invocation to the data source, both from the stored procedure PING_DATA_SOURCE or the ping() operation of this MBean explained below:

    • PingStatus: result of the last ping invocation, which can take the value UP, DOWN or TIMEOUT.

    • PingExecutionTime: instant when the last ping to the data source actually started.

    • PingDuration: if PingStatus is UP or DOWN, the time in milliseconds that the data source took to respond; NULL otherwise.

    • PingDownCause: if PingStatus is DOWN, a message explaining the cause of the problem; NULL otherwise.

Operations of the DataSourceManagementInfo MBean

Those data sources that support the ping invocation (JDBC, ODBC, LDAP, OLAP, SAPBWBAPI, SAPERP and SALESFORCE sources) also provide the following operation:

  • ping(<timeout : long>): Launches an asynchronous ping invocation to check whether this data source is accessible from Virtual DataPort or not.

    This operation does not return any value. Instead, the corresponding DataSourceManagementInfo MBean attributes are updated when the ping ends.

    The parameter timeout represents the time in milliseconds that the ping invocation will be waiting for an answer from the data source. This parameter is optional. If you provide NULL as a value, the ping will consider the default timeout, whose value is 15000.
