  • How to Conduct Transaction Log Analysis for Web Searching And
    Search Log Analysis: What is it; what’s been done; how to do it Bernard J. Jansen School of Information Sciences and Technology The Pennsylvania State University 329F IST Building University Park, Pennsylvania 16802 Email: [email protected] Abstract The use of data stored in transaction logs of Web search engines, Intranets, and Web sites can provide valuable insight into understanding the information-searching process of online searchers. This understanding can enlighten information system design, interface development, and devising the information architecture for content collections. This article presents a review and foundation for conducting Web search transaction log analysis. A methodology is outlined consisting of three stages, which are collection, preparation, and analysis. The three stages of the methodology are presented in detail with discussions of goals, metrics, and processes at each stage. Critical terms in transaction log analysis for Web searching are defined. The strengths and limitations of transaction log analysis as a research method are presented. An application to log client-side interactions that supplements transaction logs is reported on, and the application is made available for use by the research community. Suggestions are provided on ways to leverage the strengths of, while addressing the limitations of, transaction log analysis for Web searching research. Finally, a complete flat text transaction log from a commercial search engine is available as supplementary material with this manuscript. Introduction Researchers have used transaction logs for analyzing a variety of Web systems (Croft, Cook, & Wilder, 1995; Jansen, Spink, & Saracevic, 2000; Jones, Cunningham, & McNab, 1998; Wang, 1 of 42 Berry, & Yang, 2003). Web search engine companies use transaction logs (also referred to as search logs) to research searching trends and effects of system improvements (c.f., Google at http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html or Yahoo! at http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzz_log/?fr=fp- buzz-morebuzz).

  • Destiny® System Backups
    Destiny® system backups Establishing a backup and restore plan for Destiny Overview It is important to establish a backup and restore plan for your Destiny installation. The plan must be validated and monitored to ensure that your data is sufficiently backed up and can be recovered in the event of hardware failure or other disaster. IMPORTANT Follett recommends deploying a comprehensive backup solution and testing and monitoring all backup processes. There are tradeoff decisions to be made in the backup strategy that will be shaped by your organization’s risk tolerance, technology constraints, and ability to absorb data loss or downtime. This document provides an overview of standard backup and restore for the Destiny system. IMPORTANT This content does not cover high-availability configurations such as clustered servers or log shipping. Please contact Follett School Solutions, Inc. Technical Support should you have any questions about backing up your Destiny installation. For details, see Destiny® system backups. Backing up Destiny: an overview SQL database The heart of the Destiny data resides in the SQL database. These are the main components of SQL data to be backed up: The Destiny SQL database. This database contains the main Destiny data. Proper SQL backup configuration of this database is essential. NOTE If your installation is a consortium, you will have to ensure a proper backup of multiple SQL databases (one per member). The Destiny SQL transaction log. The Master SQL database. This system database is useful when restoring to a replacement server. It is not necessary to back up the tempdb database. This is a SQL Server work area and is recreated automatically.

  • Database Management Systems Introduction Transaction ACID
    Introduction What is Concurrent Process (CP)? • Multiple users access databases and use computer Database Management systems simultaneously. • Example: Airline reservation system. Systems œ An airline reservation system is used by hundreds of travel agents and reservation clerks concurrently. Transaction, Concurrency and Why Concurrent Process? Recovery • Better transaction throughput and response time • Better utilization of resource Adapted from Lecture notes by Goldberg @ Berkeley Transaction ACID Properties of transaction • What is Transaction? • Atomicity: Transaction is either performed in its entirety or not performed at all, this should be DBMS‘ • A sequence of many actions which are responsibility considered to be one atomic unit of work. • Consistency: Transaction must take the database • Basic operations a transaction can include from one consistent state to another if it is executed in —actions“: isolation. It is user‘s responsibility to insure consistency œ Reads, writes • Isolation: Transaction should appear as though it is œ Special actions: commit, abort being executed in isolation from other transactions • Durability: Changes applied to the database by a committed transaction must persist, even if the system fail before all changes reflected on disk Concurrent Transactions Schedules • What is Schedules œ A schedule S of n transactions T1,T2,…Tn is an ordering of the B B operations of the transactions subject to the constraint that, for each transaction Ti that participates in S, the operations of Ti in Smust CPU2 A appear in the same order in which they occur in Ti. CPU A 1 œ Example: Sa: r1(A),r2(A),w1(A),w2(A), a1,c2; CPU1 T1 T2 time Read(A) Read(A) t1 t2 t1 t2 Write(A) interleaved processing parallel processing Write(A) Abort T1 Commit T2 1 Oops, something‘s wrong Another example • Reserving a seat for a flight • Problems can occur when concurrent transactions execute in an uncontrolled manner.

  • Data Definition Language (Ddl)
    DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL) CREATE CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORISATION Authentication: process the DBMS uses to verify that only registered users access the database - If using an enterprise RDBMS, you must be authenticated by the RDBMS - To be authenticated, you must log on to the RDBMS using an ID and password created by the database administrator - Every user ID is associated with a database schema Schema: a logical group of database objects that are related to each other - A schema belongs to a single user or application - A single database can hold multiple schemas that belong to different users or applications - Enforce a level of security by allowing each user to only see the tables that belong to them Syntax: CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION {creator}; - Command must be issued by the user who owns the schema o Eg. If you log on as JONES, you can only use CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION JONES; CREATE TABLE Syntax: CREATE TABLE table_name ( column1 data type [constraint], column2 data type [constraint], PRIMARY KEY(column1, column2), FOREIGN KEY(column2) REFERENCES table_name2; ); CREATE TABLE AS You can create a new table based on selected columns and rows of an existing table. The new table will copy the attribute names, data characteristics and rows of the original table. Example of creating a new table from components of another table: CREATE TABLE project AS SELECT emp_proj_code AS proj_code emp_proj_name AS proj_name emp_proj_desc AS proj_description emp_proj_date AS proj_start_date emp_proj_man AS proj_manager FROM employee; 3 CONSTRAINTS There are 2 types of constraints: - Column constraint – created with the column definition o Applies to a single column o Syntactically clearer and more meaningful o Can be expressed as a table constraint - Table constraint – created when you use the CONTRAINT keyword o Can apply to multiple columns in a table o Can be given a meaningful name and therefore modified by referencing its name o Cannot be expressed as a column constraint NOT NULL This constraint can only be a column constraint and cannot be named.

  • Transaction Processing System
    Transaction processing system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Transaction processing systems) It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Transaction processing. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2012. Transaction processing is a style of computing that divides work into individual, indivisible operations, called transactions.[1] Atransaction processing system (TPS) or transaction server is a software system, or software/hardware combination, that supports transaction processing.

Designed to process up to 83,000 transactions a day, the system ran on two IBM 7090 computers. SABRE was migrated to IBM System/360computers in 1972, and became an IBM product first as Airline control Program (ACP) and later as Transaction Processing Facility (TPF). In addition to airlines TPF is used by large banks, credit card companies, and hotel chains.

  • Transactions – Recovery ACID Properties and Recovery
    Transactions – Recovery CS 317/387 1 ACID Properties and Recovery The Recovery Manager is responsible for ensuring Atomicity and Durability . Atomicity is guaranteed by undoing the actions of the transactions that did not commit (aborted). Durability is guaranteed by making sure that all actions of committed transactions survive crashes and failures. 2 1 Types of Failures System crashes due to hardware or software errors main memory content is lost Transaction failures overflow, interrupt, data not available, explicit rollback, concurrency enforcement, programming errors no memory loss. Media failures problems with disk head, unreadable media surface (parts of ) information on secondary storage may be lost Natural disasters fire, flood, earthquakes, theft, etc. physical loss of all information on all media 3 Strategy If a transaction Ti is aborted (e.g., for concurrency control reasons), all its actions have to be undone . Active transactions at the time of the crash have to be aborted, i.e., their effects have to be undone when the system comes back. DBMS has to maintain enough information to undo actions of transactions (the LOG File) 4 2 Desired Behavior after system restarts: T1, T2 & T3should be durable.– T4 & T5 should be rolled back, i.e., effects undone. 5 Log Sequence of records (sequential file) Modified by appending (no updating) Contains information from which database can be restored Log and database stored on different mass storage devices Often replicated to survive single media failure Contains

  • Finding Sensitive Data in and Around Microsoft SQL Server
    Technical White Paper Finding Sensitive Data In and Around the Microsoft SQL Server Database Finding Sensitive Data In and Around the Microsoft SQL Server Database Vormetric, Inc. 888.267.3732 408.433.6000 [email protected] www.vormetric.com Technical White Paper Page | 1 Finding Sensitive Data In and Around the Microsoft SQL Server Database Audience This technical document is intended to provide insight into where sensitive data resides in and around a Microsoft® SQL Server® database for the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. The information and concepts in this document apply to all versions of SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012). It also assumes some knowledge of Vormetric’s data encryp- tion and key management technology and its associated vocabulary. Overview At first blush, simply encrypting the database itself would be sufficient to secure data at rest in inside of the Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) database software running on Windows server platforms. However, enterprises storing sensitive data in a SQL Server database need to consider the locations around the database where sensitive data relating to SQL Server might reside, even outside the direct control of the Database Administrators (DBAs). For example, it is well within the realm of possibility that a SQL Server database could encounter an error that would cause it to send information containing sensi- tive data into a trace file or the alert log. What follows is a description of the SQL Server database along with a table that includes a list of all types of files and sub- types, along with the function these files provide and why it makes sense to consider protecting these files.
