How the ATG Order flow manages a transaction

See more about ATG Tx management @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/05/atg-how-to-use-transaction-manager.html

Most of the ATG Commerce form handlers extend atg.commerce.order.purchase.PurchaseProcessFormHandler. The transaction management pattern in order flow is implemented through this form handler’s beforeSet, afterSet, and handler methods.

The transaction will be started @ beforeSet method and is ended @ afterSet method.

In general, the design pattern for updating an order is as follows:

Acquire lock-manager write lock on profile id from the /atg/commerce/order/LocalLockManager
Begin Transaction
Synchronize on the Order object.
Modify Order
Call ((OrderImpl) pOrder).updateVersion(); --> atg.commerce.order.InvalidVersionException is thrown based on this
Call OrderManager.updateOrder()
Release Order synchronization
End Transaction
Release lock-manager write lock on profile id from the /atg/commerce/order/LocalLockManager

If you extend atg.commerce.order.purchase.PurchaseProcessFormHander, then steps 1,2,8 & 9 are done for you in the beforeSet and afterSet method implementations. Steps 3&7 are no longer strictly necessary, but are still good practice. Steps 3-7 should be performed manually in your application code.

Income Tax process and e-filing

http://financeminister.in/income_tax_calculator.php https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in Below I am listing the step-by-step activities of the Tax Process that a working professional need to do in a given Financial Year. Here FY refers to Financial Year and AY refers to Assesment Year. Each month we will pay the Tax (From APRIL 20xx to MARCH 20xx+1) through our Employer for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1. In the month April 20xx, we will give the investment details to the employer (in our employer specified portal) for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1. In the month January 20xx+1, we will give the investment proof details , Rent receipts… to the Employer Finance Department for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1.

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @ <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1) Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component. rwTimeout is the length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2) Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties define the actions using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" , "SearchAdministration", " Merchanding " and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource --> /atg/bizui/...
