[Solved] Running more then 2 agents at once

I have a dashboard that I have recently set up that is supposed to run 6 concurrent reports at once. All of these reports run off of a Service separate from our normal Service (normal service allows 3 agents to be run concurrently to limit adhoc queries by user) We have the Service set up as such in the edaserve.cfg file


SERVICE = DASH_SRV
BEGIN
  maximum = 30
  agent_refresh = 5
  cpu_limit = -1
  number_ready = 4
  max_connections_per_user = 10
END


As you can see from the config file we allow up to 10 connections per user on this Service (originally we had this set to unlimited but for testing purposes set it to 10).

In the HTML I have the reports set up to run off of a javascript function so that everything will fire off together and give the user a loading message while they wait.

 

	clearFrm(graph1);
	clearFrm(graph2);
	clearFrm(graph3);
	clearFrm(graph4);
	clearFrm(report1);

	OnExecute(exec_banner)
	OnExecute(exec_grf2)
	OnExecute(exec_grf3)
	OnExecute(exec_grf4)

	if(document.getElementById('INIT_LOAD').value=='Y' || document.getElementById('combobox2').value == 6){
		document.getElementById('pickAnalysis').style.display = 'inline' ;
		OnExecute(exec_grf1)
		OnExecute(exec_rpt1)
	}
	else{
		document.getElementById('pickAnalysis').style.display = 'none' ;
	}


When I run the dashboard and look at the console, I notice that only 2 will run and the rest will come in as if they were queued in the background. How can I adjust my settings so that all 6 reports run together instead of two at a time?

Eric,

Just a suggestion to check that the JS is not involved with your limitation, but have you created an iframe equivalent with the iframe.src set to the urls as required? If you have more than 2 agents running at a time doing this then the problem would be JS related?

I assume you are using IE6 or IE7. I found that these browsers limit the maximum number of AJAX calls that can run asynchronously to 2 in any one browser session. I believe Firefox increases this to 5 and IE8 to 18.

In my experience the order of running is relatively random, so do not expect the calls to run in exactly the same order as called, or to return in that order actually sent, due to differences in agent process time.

I have some js to control the sending and return of multiple calls, holding all output until everything is returned, for use in a self-service application.

Alan,

Thanks for that insight into how IE handles ajax calls. I am using IE7 on my machine and we don't support anything outside of IE (We have found many things to not work properly in Firefox and Chrome like AHTML, certain passings of variables, report assistant etc etc...). I tried the dashboard in Firefox, and as you stated all the calls fired off at once like I wanted them to. I guess I will need to do some testing with IE8 and see how compliant its is with FOCUS.
