Optimized database connection management

Currently WMB ODBC connections are limited in the sense that all database transactions by default are contained within the scope of the message flow transaction boundary. ESQL Compute nodes have a 'Transaction' property which can be set to Automatic or Commit. In the case where multiple downstream calls need to be repetitively made, using PROPAGATE in an ESQL Compute node, to an HttpRequest node for example, and the result of each of those calls be stored in a database with immediate COMMIT, it is not possible to do so unless multiple DSNs are used. To overcome this, a command other than UNCOORDINATED needs to be used to COMMIT each database INSERT or UPDATE immediately without the need for additional DSNs.

    RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been in the status of Under Consideration. At the heart of this request is really the idea of giving a user of Compute node ESQL, a function which can be called to COMMIT database work prior to reaching the end of the logic of the Compute node and moving the message flow thread to the next node in the flow. In the use case presented, the Compute ESQL is using the PROPAGATE verb to pass the thread on to downstream nodes multiple times ... but the user desires to commit the database work before doing so. This use case can be achieved by separating the PROPAGATE functionality from the database update functionality, and placing them in two separate Compute nodes... thus allowing the "database update functionality" to reach the end of its node processing (and thus be committed) before the next propagation occurs. Despite the product meeting the use case as expressed, we acknowledge that it would be a nicer solution to allow intermediate COMMIT to be forced from an ESQL command within the Compute node. For this reason we are updating the RFE to status Uncommitted Candidate and we will continue to monitor for signs of popularity.

    This is Salla from UMB Bank EBI Team. We second this RFE and please consider this as a high priority item. We see this could be a major block at some point.

    Regards,
    Salla
