Usage of Xacute Connector

[aravinth_anandhan]

Hello,

We recently came accross 'Xacute Connector' which can be used to call the transaction (same as runner service). But the difference here is, we can leverage the SSO capablities without using the Xacute query. We wanted to avoid using Xacute query for various reasons, one of which is the limitation of 32 input parameters.

We decided to use Xacute Connector for this purpose but, we are bit hesistant to proceed without knowing the reliability of this service. Did any one used this before ? How reliable this service is and will it handle heavy load (very high usage) in the production envorinment ?

For reference: Using Xacute Connector

Hi Aravinth,

I have been using Xacute queries for almost 15 years and have not had any issue with reliability. However, when you speak of heavy load (very high usage), can you put some numbers to that statement? Or more details to how it would be used and the tasks it would be required to perform. I don't think I have ever used more than 14 or 15 parameters with any Xacute query in all that time.

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike,

May be I didn't put my question clearly. We are using xacute query currently and didn't face any issues with that (other than 32 param limit due to an existing logic which we don't want to disturb). We wanted to call the transaction directly from irpt using Xacute Connecter like below,

http://<server>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=XacuteConnector&Mode=Query&Transaction=<TransactionName>&Out...;

We tested this and so far working fine in development system. Before we move this to QA and Production, we want to make sure this will work same as Xacute query. The same way I mean here is the consistancy.

Actually I think you presented it clearly enough, but I did not interpret what I read properly. I have not used the XacuteConnector in a long time, so can't really weigh in on reliability. So I would really try to load it down to make sure it handles the volume before making a design decision to count on it working as desired.

Cheers and good luck!

Thanks for your inputs Mike! I will update this thread in the future after we test and get any results.
