Planning folder locations and maintenance is important for managing resources in an enterprise environment.
How to get the maximum performance from your AEP server. This will discuss ways to improve execution time of short running jobs and how to properly configure the server depending on the expected number of users as well as the average size and duration of individual jobs. Included will be examples of making use of job pooling, Database connection sharing, and parallel subprotocol tuning. Determining when to make use of cluster, grid, or load balanced configurations along with memory and CPU sizing guidelines will also be discussed.
(ATS6-PLAT05) Security enhancements in AEP 9BIOVIA
In the latest version of the Accelrys Enterprise Platform we have streamlined how permissions are managed and added the capability for packages to define groups and permission sets. In addition, enhancements have been made to File Based Authentication, we have added support for enterprise authentication solutions like Kerberos and SAML and improved the usability of the Administration Portal. This session describes the new features and how to manage them through the Administration Portal.
The Query Service is the new platform solution for querying a variety of data sources. The goal of Query Service is that administrators can configure a metadata description of the data source that can then be used by end users without detailed knowledge of the underlying data source. This session explains how to configure Query Service data sources and use them with the RESTful API or component collection.
(ATS6-PLAT02) Accelrys Catalog and Protocol ValidationBIOVIA
Accelrys Catalog is a powerful new technology for creating an index of the protocols and components within your organization. You will learn about strategies for indexing and how search capabilities can be deployed to professional client and Web Port end users. You will also learn how to use this technology to find out about system usage to aid with system upgrades, server consolidations, and general system maintenance. The protocol validation capability in the admin portal allows administrators to created standard reports on server usage characteristics. You will learn how to report on violations of IT policies (e.g. around security), bad protocol authoring practices, or missing or incomplete protocol documentation. Developers will also learn how to extend and customize the rules used to create these reports.
(ATS6-PLAT01) Chemistry Harmonization: Bringing together the Direct 9 and Pip...BIOVIA
Pipeline Pilot Chemistry 9.0 is inheriting many new chemical representations from the Accelrys Direct data model. These include the support of the Self Contained Sequence Representation (SCSR) biologics, enhanced Markush structure representations, Markush homology groups, and Non Specific Structures (NONS). Also significantly enhanced is the support for Sgroups, in particular for polymers, mixtures, and formulations. Further, Pipeline Pilot depiction has been upgraded to support these enhancements and the stereochemical perception and ring perception capabilities were improved based on Direct.
The major benefit of these changes is that Direct and Pipeline Pilot now use the same data model. Searches carried out in Direct or in Pipeline Pilot will return identical results and both products will deliver identical structural perceptions. This session will give guidance on how these changes will impact your calculators and models and how you can plan for a smooth upgrade.
(ATS6-GS04) Performance Analysis of Accelrys Enterprise Platform 9.0 on IBM’s...BIOVIA
IBM recently completed a benchmarking study of several key modules of the Accelrys Enterprise Platform (AEP) 9.0, using IBM’s iDataPlex and General Parallel File System (GPFS). The results show that the performance of IO intensive workloads, such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), can be improved significantly by using GPFS. NGS workloads can also benefit from better load balancing implemented on AEP 9.0. Best practices for scalable IT solutions will also be discussed.
This document outlines an integration between the Contur and HEOS software. The integration is focused on allowing scientists to record experimental data in Contur and register compounds to HEOS as part of their workflow. It describes the Contur REST API and protocol execution framework that can extract and create Contur content. It also describes the HEOS SOAP API that can extract and create content in HEOS, including registering compounds. Components and protocols are provided that use these APIs to facilitate transferring data directly from Contur experiments to HEOS compound registration, without needing to re-enter information, in order to save time and reduce errors.
This document contains an agenda for a two-day Accelrys software development event with over 50 registered attendees from partner companies like BT, Discngine, and IBM. On day one, there are sessions on new features and improvements to various Accelrys products, like Direct and PPChem. There are also sessions on deploying products like Discoverant and using collections. Day two focuses on roadmaps for products like LIMS and ELN. Additional sessions discuss maximizing performance, deployment strategies, and integration. The event aims to provide information to help attendees improve their ability to use Accelrys products.
(ATS6-DEV09) Deep Dive into REST and SOAP Integration for Protocol AuthorsBIOVIA
Pipeline Pilot has always had a strong focus on integration to external resources. In AEP 9.0 we continue this tradition with a major overhaul of our SOAP Connector component as well as improved support for RESTful services. In this talk we will look at how to build protocols that access SOAP services especially secured services and review the approach to accessing RESTful services.
(ATS6-DEV08) Integrating Contur ELN with other systems using a RESTful APIBIOVIA
In order to enable easy integration between Contur ELN and other informatics systems a RESTful API has been developed. Data may be extracted from ELN experiments using GET calls, but external applications can also insert results directly into the ELN record. In particular the API can be used with Accelrys Enterprise Platform to create complex flows for resolving scientific problems. Such protocols may be launched from within the ELN client.
(ATS6-DEV07) Building widgets for ELN home pageBIOVIA
From a developer’s perspective, the Accelrys ELN Home Page is a container of widgets. It manages the layout of widgets, and handles the persistence of their settings. Several widgets are provided with the application: one for creating new experiments, another for tracking work in progress, and an inbox widget for messages sent through the notebook. This out-of-the-box set can be supplemented by building custom widgets.
This session will show several custom widgets examples to demonstrate the basic concepts of widget development and the API they implement. We will also discuss best practices, and how to make your widget a good citizen of the Home Page.
(ATS6-DEV06) Using Packages for Protocol, Component, and Application DeliveryBIOVIA
Delivering protocols, components, and applications to users and other developers on an AEP server can be very challenging. Accelrys delivers the majority of its AEP services in the form of packages. This talk will discuss the methods that anyone can use to deliver bundled applications in the form of packages and the benefits of doing so. The discussion will include how to create packages, modifying existing packages, deploying packages to servers, and tools that can be used for ensuring the quality of the packages.
(ATS6-DEV05) Building Interactive Web Applications with the Reporting CollectionBIOVIA
The document discusses building interactive web applications using the Reporting Collection. It describes components like forms, data connectors, interactive elements and AJAX capabilities that allow adding interactivity. The reporting components generate reports in formats like HTML, PDF from data and layouts. Interactive components allow generating full web applications without additional coding. Forms capture user input. The data connector synchronizes selections across visualizations. Protocol links and functions enable drill-down and AJAX functionality. JavaScript attributes and components add custom scripting.
(ATS6-DEV04) Building Web MashUp applications that include Accelrys Applicati...BIOVIA
One of the biggest challenges in most corporate environments is providing a way for users to access all the data they need, usually stored in multiple disparate locations, from one interface that they are comfortable with. As web applications have become more popular, RESTful APIs have emerged as the preffered web service format in recent years. Many Accelrys applications now provide RESTful APIs that allow developers to build mashup applications. This session will explore some of these APIs and how to use them to build a simple application.
(ATS6-DEV03) Building an Enterprise Web Solution with AEPBIOVIA
In this session, we'll take a deep dive into building an Enterprise Solution with AEP. We'll be using Pipeline Pilot to develop the protocols that will provide our server-side implementations and ExtJS to build the user interface. We'll look at the techniques involved in using protocols to implement actions and explore the capabilities of ExtJS to produce powerful enterprise applications.
This document discusses different strategies for building web applications using the Accelrys Enterprise Platform (AEP). It outlines three main strategies: Form & Result, Dashboard, and Enterprise Application.
Form & Result is best for simple applications that focus on running protocols and displaying results. Dashboard adds interactivity with JavaScript and the Data Connector. Enterprise Application employs a third-party JavaScript library to build a fully customized user interface, separate from AEP.
The document provides examples and discusses the technologies involved in each approach. It recommends choosing based on requirements complexity, development time, and skill sets, noting that Form & Result is fastest but least customizable, while Enterprise Application is most complex but powerful.

length of time
• Win32k memory error messages recorded in the log files
• Authentication issues after month of successful logins
• Message Queues message count grows consistently throughout the day
• Status pages for the different services show up with an error
• Windows Application Event log is full of Vault Message Processing Service
restart messages
16. Best Practices for Vault System Management
• Restart middle tier servers every 30 days or after each operating system update (per Microsoft)
– Automate by using Windows scheduled tasks or your network management platform
• Archive Vault and Tomcat logs every 30 days
– Automate by using Windows scheduled tasks or your network management platform
• Restart all Vault services weekly
– Automate by using Windows scheduled tasks or your network management platform
• Check disk fragmentation once a month
– If fragmentation levels are consistently higher than 30% when defragmented monthly reduce the time to weekly
• Review Windows application and system event logs every 60 days for errors and correct as needed
• Integrate with existing network management environment for advanced service monitoring
17. Microsoft Message Queues (MSMQ)
• Vault Message Processor manages asynchronous processing of Vault Objects via
Microsoft Message Queues
18. Message Handlers
Message Handler Description
FullTextIndexer Adds any text provided by VO to the full text index
VaultObjectIndexMessageHandler Indexes any Property Set Definition (PSD) data (including
structures and reactions)
PropertyIndexMessageHandler Indexes VO core properties to support Standard Search. These
indexes are also used by Vault for internal querying (resolve
assemblies, for example).
WorkflowActivator Enrolls items in workflows based on the active workflow
associations
WorkflowTransitionMessageHandler Indexes workflow stage value after transitions
PropertyExtractionMessageHandler Extracts data from properties designated for display in
Notebook Explorer (new in 6.7)
19. MessageHandlerStatus Table: Status Tracking
State Meaning
Queued Vault Object (VO) is currently queued for processing by the message handler
Processed VO was processed by the message handler
Failed VO could not be processed by the message handler
Requeued VO has been submitted to the handler by the RequeueVaultObjects utility
Ignore VO is not subject to status tracking
Unknown VO has not been processed by the index status tracking feature
20. RequeueVaultObjects.exe Arguments
Examples:
• Re-queue failed VOs in the Site repository
RequeueVaultObjects -repository Site
• Re-queue queued VOs for full text indexing in the R&D repository
RequeueVaultObjects -repository "R&D" –status Queued
–queues FullTextIndexer
• Re-queue untracked VOs Process Chemistry repository
RequeueVaultObjects -repository "Process Chemistry"
–status Unknown
Argument Description Required Default
-Repository The repository that will be acted upon Yes N/A
-MessageLimit Maximum # of messages that will be created No 100000
-Status The message handling state to be queued No Failed
-Queues List of queues to populate No All
21. Automation Support with Windows Task Scheduler
Status tracking and RequeueVaultObjects utility enables automation of message
handling management activities with the help of Windows scheduled tasks
• Large re-queuing Jobs can be split across several load-balanced servers
– Strategy 1: Schedule re-queuing jobs against a large set of messages during long periods
of time with low system activity (nights and weekends)
– Strategy 2 (Recommended): Constantly “trickle” relatively small numbers of messages at
regular intervals around the clock
• Example: 1 million Vault objects to reprocess with two load-balanced Vault
Servers
– Scheduled job on Server 1: Re-queue 5000 objects on each full hour
– Scheduled job on Server 2: Re-queue 5000 objects 5 minutes after each full hour
22. Monitoring Thresholds
• “Vault Monitoring Guidelines”
– Recommended thresholds and
alert states
– Includes example jobs that can
be installed on your Vault servers
– Standalone monitoring
– Network management
integration
• Part of 6.7 Administration Guide
• Contact Accelrys Support to
obtain a copy for v6.6
23. Leverage Windows Server 2008 Event Viewer
• Utilize the new feature to create a new scheduled tasks directly from within Event Viewer
based off of specific events recorded in the logs
• Respond to events in
three ways:
– Start a Program
– Send an E-mail
– Display a Message
24. Leverage Windows 2008 Data Collector Sets
Data Collector Set:
– New feature added in Windows Server 2008
– Organizes multiple data collection points into a single component
– Outputs HTML reports which can be sent to support for troubleshooting
– Can be configured to generate alerts when thresholds are reached
– Use out-of-the box System Diagnostics/Performance report or create your
own customized reports
– Scheduled task can be set up to Run Data Collector Sets at regular intervals
– Caution: Collecting performance and system information can affect overall
system performance!
26. Managing Vault from Single Directory (Symbolic Links)
• Manage your Vault configuration
files from a single directory
– Create folder junction links to Vault
and Tomcat logs
– Create file hard links to all
configuration files
• Directory can be shared out and
accessed from a single
management machine
– e.g. manage several load-balanced
Vault Server from one computer
