Hi,

 

We see a lot of scheduled tasks and jobs to get data integrated, and while trying to investigate an issue for a customer, noticed a lot of "noise" for ProviderUse being updated https://www.screencast.com/t/HuuqHZqxVROm

 

Should this even be being logged (given how "chatty" it is)? I would expect that a counter such as this could be skipped. Or is there a need to audit every little change of GlobalSettings?

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hey Nuno,

Do you by any chance know what the ProviderUse means. I saw this number pop-up during configuration of a local solution, and I'm not sure if I should add this "setting" to my deployed version of the config file. 

Is is just a counter keeping track of how many times the provider is used in activities?

   <DataIntegration>
      <ProviderUse>
        <DynamicwebProvider>4</DynamicwebProvider>
      </ProviderUse>
    </DataIntegration>

It is trying to log how many instances of the provider you have in use for reporting purpose - how that is done seems to be relatively stupid and should be changed :-)

Hi Nicolai,

 

Can the UpdateStatistic method in Jobs.cs be removed/deleted if this is no longer being used?

 

Oddly enough we are getting a lot of corrupted GlobalSettings across multiple sites (various versions of DW9 - including 9.17.4)

  • I managed to narrow it down to the updates of ProviderUse
    • I created a config file (example attached in zip to avoid issues)
  • Our sites have a lot of data integration jobs
  • The statistics is being updated constantly - proven by the Event Viewer in Monitoring
  • The file gets corrupted every now and again
    • I have a theory that's when 2 or more jobs are running simultaneouly (i.e. a scheduled task and a manual run, or some async scheduled task) trying to write to Global Settings
  • If those statistics are not being used anymore, then we'd stop updating GlobalSettings that much, thus preventing this issue

 

Thoughts?
