Pipe v4.3.0 - Performance query editor Server settings #1

Open rhumaroo opened 9 years ago

rhumaroo commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I would like to use Pipe v4.3.0 for my research. However, I have tried to perform some performance analysis, but then it asked a server address and port number in order to evaluate my query. Unfortunately I am not from the IT field, so I really don't know how to solve this issue and so far I have not found any help on internet.

Thank you very much for your help, Regards, Romain

Hi Romain,

What problem are you trying to solve, or what question are you trying to answer? Do you have a petri net you are trying to analyze?

best, Steve Doubleday

Hi Steve!

Thanks for your answer! My problem is to setup the server settings in the Performance Query Editor (Analysis/settings/server). It is asked "server address" and "port" but I do not know which server address is required. And without the server information, I cannot perform any analysis.

I am currently performing some tutorials (accident&emergency unit) in order to get familiar with the tool, but then I will have my own petri net to analyse.

Could you help with this issue? Thank you Regards

Hi Romain,

I've never used the performance query editor. Looking at the code, it appears to expect a server running in a grid configuration, perhaps with many processors available to do large scale analysis. I'm guessing this is the expected environment: https://www.ogf.org/ogf/doku.php

As you start your Petri net learning, you might find you can make a lot of progress just using the other modules available under PIPE on your own machine: [image: Inline image 1] If after that, you think you'll need to analyze with much greater resources, I expect that you'll have a significant learning curve. You probably would want to start with Java and the PIPE source code, and then learn about one or more grid environments.

Good luck!

Steve

Hi Steve, Thanks again for your answer! I really appreciate it! I was actually trying to follow the case study presented in this report, starting from page 47: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/pls/portallive/docs/1/45425696.PDF Therefore I don't think any grid computing was required for this kind of performance analysis. I was initially wondering if it is somehow possible to use a "local server address" (on my own computer)? Since I my IT knowledge are very limited, I was wondering if it was possible to get around this problem. I tried XAMPP software to run a local server on my machine, but I am constantly getting the following message "waiting for server response".

However, I will first follow your advice and I will use the other modules available under PIPE! Thank you very much again! Regards, Romain

Hi Romain,

Thank you for the reference to that paper -- I hadn't seen it before, and it's interesting. In looking through it, sections 3.4 and 4.6 make reference to a grid environment. I imagine you're correct, that it would be possible to configure a small environment on one's own machine, but in my quick look, I didn't see it mentioned. Note that the analysis tools themselves are each separate software environments, and could presumably be downloaded and run separately. If you download the project, there are hints of what is needed; grep for "grail".

Good luck!

Steve
