ASE CE and Shameless Self-Promotion
I'm getting ready to get on a plane in a few hours, but before I leave I thought I'd take a few minutes to do some shameless self-promotion.

Now that TechWave is over ...
Howdy everyone. It's the unofficial end of Summer, and definitely time for me to post again. First of all, in case you haven't noticed, there is a new disclaimer on the bottom of the blogs main page. Read on why it's there.

Looking for feedback: logical process manager
I am working on a future version of ASE and am interested in hearing about your experiences with the logical process manager (LPM). LPM consists of engine groups and execution classes, as well as the ability to set spid priority in an ad-hoc manner via sp_setpsexe. This functionality is sometimes referred to as application queues.
If you have used this feature I’d like to know:
- What was the use case (in other words, why did you use it)?
- What elements did you use? How did you use it?
- Did it meet your needs? Did you run into problems?
- Any shortcomings or requirements that weren’t met?
- What was your overall impression?
If you evaluated the functionality but chose not to use it, please let me know what you were trying to accomplish and why you decided against using LPM.
Finally, if you have use cases or requirements around managing multiple applications in a single ASE server, or managing the priority / resources of specific spids, please pass those along. Unaddressed use cases are extremely useful to hear about.
Please provide your feedback directly to me at david.wein@sybase.com, and include “logical process manager feedback” in the mail subject (I get a lot of mail and this will help make sure I don’t miss your mail!). Please be as detailed and specific as you can about your use cases and results.
Thanks a bunch,
Dave
Managing the Data Explosion: Peter Thawley's Musings
 Hi! I’m Peter Thawley, a Senior Director and Architect in the CTO Group at Sybase. With nearly 20 years of work with Sybase products, both as a customer and an employee, I’ve experienced the full gamut of Sybase’s highs and lows. Most of you know me as the original author of sp_sysmon and a performance & tuning guy. Today, I spend a lot of my time working with customers on some of the more difficult problems they face in distributed data management – some of it is operational type of work with DBAs, some architectural with application development teams.

Did you know there is a /proc inside of ASE?
Okay, there isn’t really a /proc, but there is something pretty close and getting more like it all the time…

Minnesota ISUG Event on June 18th
There will be a meeting of the Minnesota Sybase User Group (MNSUG) on June 18th. The meeting is being held in downtown St. Paul at the Landmark Center which is a really nice venue.
We are doing a full day session with data management covered in the morning, a lunch (free food!), and tools in the afternoon. Getting both the DBA group and the developer group together can be a little tough, and we hope this is a good format to bring the two groups together, at least for lunch.

Now that I'm back State-side
Howdy everyone. Been awhile since I've posted huh? Well, after traveling through South Korea, Australia, and Northern New Zealand throughout May doing an ASE Cluster Edition roadshow, I'm happy to be back in the office again. The roadshow was, in essence, 3+ hours of technical information on Cluster Edition, discussing everything from architectural changes, to look-and-feel changes, to implementation tips to get you started. (Some of you out there may have seen Jeff Tallman give a similar presentation throughout other parts of Asia.)

Learn about Cluster Edition at Techwave
August may seem far away, but for those of us developing content for Techwave, it is right around the corner. This year’s Techwave conference has a lot of cluster related content, so if you’ve been curious about ASE Cluster Edition I recommend making the trip to Vegas.
Naturally the content is subject to change - but as of now I see five breakout sessions covering Cluster Edition as well as full-week, in-depth education seminar. It appears the education seminar will also be offered as a pre-conference course. If you sign up for a pre-conference course you can take a different full length class during the week. One of the breakouts I’ll be doing will show you how to setup a cluster on a laptop using VMware….should be fun!
TechWave Registration is now open!
Join us Aug. 4 – 8 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV... for the 10th Annual Sybase User Training and Solutions Conference.
