Monitoring Workflows

The following scripts can be used to show you how many workflows are being created every hour and how many workflows are being processed every hour. This can be useful in monitoring system performance, especially when data loading or other large operations are occurring.

--Workflows Created per Hour (in the queue to be processed)
select count(*), to_char(created_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24') from wf_event
group by to_char(created_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24');

--Workflows Processed per Hour
select count(*), to_char(completed_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24') from wf_event_history
group by to_char(completed_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24');

Simulated SMTP Server

Have you ever wanted to test email notifications without actually sending emails to a real SMTP server? The attached Java program allows you to do just that. Assuming you have Java installed on your computer, it takes about 30 seconds to set your PC up as a simulated SMTP server.

Setup
Setting it up is easy. Create a folder on your PC, for example c:\smtp. Copy the smtp.jar file to your new folder and at a command prompt navigate to the new folder and run the following: C:\SMTP>java -jar smtp.jar. Leave the command prompt box open.

The final step is setting your TRIRIGA application to use your PC as it's SMTP server. Edit the tririgaweb.properties file (or use the System Manager in the Admin Console) and set mail.smtp.host = your local IP address. All that left is to restart JBoss/Weblogic so the application uses the new settings.

Usage
Once everything is set up as described above usage is pretty straightforward. Use the application to trigger a notification (close a work task, etc.) and watch your command window. You will see log entries each time the system receives a message. It should look similar to this:

C:\SMTP>java -jar smtp.jar
Starting session with /10.119.216.152
Closing session with /10.119.216.152

Now open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\SMTP directory. In addition to the smtp.jar file you should have two new files, xxxxxxxxx-x.log and xxxxxxxxx.mht. The log file show the raw text of the email message and the mht shows the formated text. You can open the mht file is a browser to look at the content, or change the .mht extention to .eml and open the file in Outlook Express.
