Note: The monitoring and tests are done on G/Netviewer 9.4 environment. But I think it is also applicable for version 10. After some in-depth monitoring of our G/Netviewer webserver for some days/weeks. We found a performance enhancement for G/Netviewer webserver. Our server has 4 cores and 8GB memory. On our environment there are 25 to 30 concurrent users working with G/Netviewer. When… Read More »
In an earlier post Stephan mentions that it was not possible to debug G/Technology 10.2 in “edit and continue” mode. You could only attach Visual Studio to the G3E.exe and debug. But you cannot break the code and then make a small change. For every change you need to close G3E.exe, compile your project, start G3E.exe and… Read More »

If you or your teammates don’t know how a certain aspect works, your doomed. Even if you know how… Read More »

When all developers are sharing the same database, it is very likely that things get messed up and I therefore always like to have a… Read More »
When setting up a G/Technology environment, one of the boring things always is getting your ConnectionConfigurationMap.ccm right. One way to see what ddc-file is causing you trouble is use sysinternals Process Monitor tool and see what the last ddc-file read by the G3E-executable was. The next file immediately following that file in your ConnectionConfigurationMap.ccm then… Read More »

I use TOAD for my day-to-day Oracle development, but I find it’s debugging experience very poor compared to Visual Studio. Using ODP.Net version 11 you can use Visual Studio to debug Oracle PL/SQL. Here’s how to do it. First you need to install ‘Oracle Data Access Components for Oracle Client 11.2.0.2.1’ or higher. You can… Read More »
The G/Technology runtime environment is great and I haven’t seen much issues with it working at KPN Netherlands from 2009 until recently. A whole different story is the G/Technology developer experience and I’m very frustrated about it : There’s no clean distinction between development and runtime environment In G/Technology your feature definitions are stored in… Read More »
