Introduction

• Last Tech Peak we introduced Fathom and why it
  was important to use Fathom
• Today we will discuss the technology and
  deployment of Fathom.

5
Under Development

• This talk includes information about potential
  future products and/or product enhancements.
• What I am going to say reflects our current
  thinking, but the information contained herein is
  preliminary and subject to change. Any future
  products we ultimately deliver may be materially
  different from what is described here.

Internals Core Technologies

• JAVA
• JSP
• XML
• New in 3.0A extensible rules in the catalog.xml
• XSLT

7
Internals Core Technologies
JAVA

• Main component of Fathom
• Fathom loads into the Progress AdminServer JVM

8
Internals Core Technologies
JSP

• Most of the Fathom Console uses JSP
• Allows for dynamic page generation
• Allows for events (like Alerts) to be posted to
  Console

9
Internals Core Technologies
XML

• Format for importing and exporting templates
• Format used when dumping the Project database to
  text
• Format for Extensible rules manipulation in 3.0A

10
Internals Core Technologies
XSLT

• Reports use XSLT in this way
• 4GL reports run and output both text and XML
• The XML is used to create an HTML report with
  graphs
• The XSLT is used convert the XML to HTML format
  including graphs for the report representation in
  the Fathom Console

22
Internals Progress Technologies in Fathom

• Fathom Trend Database Progress DB
• Schema explained in documentation
• Reports Progress 4GL (including XML)
• Report source code supplied in a Progress Library
• New in 3.0A alerts on reports
• Progress 4GL now alerts Fathom of any problems
  running the report

23
Internals Fathom Technologies in Progress

• Osmetrics.dll
• Installed with every Progress product that
  supports the AdminServer since 9.1D06
• Loads in the AdminServer
• Gathers system information
• _dbagent
• Installed with every Progress database product
  since 9.1C30

• In Fathom
• New in 3.0A - _dbagent incorporated into Sonic
  infrastructure

25
Internals Using technologies for Deployment

• Jetty Web Server - allows for remote management
  and browser based interface
• Fathom Technologies in Progress - foundation for
  remote monitoring
• Progress Technologies in Fathom allows for
  remote trend databases and remote reporting
• SonicMQ Technologies infrastructure for remote
  monitoring
