I have implemented the Autodesk Viewer API and it is working great as long as we are in my local environment.
But the application in which the viewer has been integrated has been deployed on online server and since then there are several bugs in the viewer. It takes longer to load the file or sometimes doesn’t load it at all.
Are there more configurations required while deploying on an online server? Especially when it is a secure one (https)?
Do we need to convert our free trial to a subscription to have higher performance ?
There still is 86 cloud credits left in the free trial but we are ready to switch to a subscription if necessary.
Your help will be highly appreciated. I'm looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
A.
There should be no performance differences and no limitations between running your Forge-based server code locally vs publicly, or via HTTP vs HTTPS. Please send us more details about the stack you're using in an email to forge (dot) help (at) autodesk (dot) com and we'll take a look at it.

Since CodenameOne doesn't support "the cloud storage API" any more and the parse.com is going to retire soon as well. Does CodenameOne has any plan to release a new Cloud Storage API or provide suggestions/guidelines to help developers to deal with the parse4cn1 library code, cloud code, database structure and data in parse.com?
That is something you will have to figure out yourself as parse4cn1 was initially contributed by a community member and wasn't developed by Codenameone team.
You can use a simple webservices created in php, python or java, hosted along your content with any ISP.
You may also have a look at amazon aws which is promising, they provide a cloud solution but their SDKs is not yet integrated to Codenameone.
I made the parse4cn1 lib and I'm also wondering what's smartest to do. With the announcement of Parse.com's imminent shutdown, there's been a lot of discussion around alternatives. My feeling is that "the dust is yet to settle" as per what options are best and reliable for the longer term (it would be a pity to migrate to another service only for it to be shut down soon). So I personally plan to wait till sometime in Q2 to do a proper evaluation of the alternatives. Hopefully, there'll be more clarity then.
The option to host one's own Parse server (e.g. on AWS or Heroku) is getting interesting. They recently announced support for push notifications on iOS and Android. If (when?) they open source the Parse.com dashboard code, I think that option would be much more interesting.
At some point in the coming months, I plan to make a parse4cn1 release that exposes an option to set the server path. With that, anyone migrating to the Parse server option should, in principle, be able to continue to use the cn1lib. Of course, for features that are supported by the open source Parse server.
PS: Here are pointers to some of such discussions on Parse alternatives:

I have completed my first web & Mobile project in Spring mvc 3.2.6 + Hibernate + Maven,Mysql & Rest Services.
Now i want to host the application.So that i can hit the webservice via mobile & host the web application.While browsing the google found the following link.
http://aws.amazon.com/free/
https://www.openshift.com/
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/
http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/private
https://www.heroku.com/pricing
https://appengine.google.com/start
So could you please anyone guide which one of the above server is good to host.Right now i am planning to use FREE version of the above server and in future i may use a paid version.Could anyone please which one is best?
I appreciate your answers & suggestion!!!Thank you.
I can say for Openshift. The best features it gave to you is:
No credit card required
No trial time
Doesn't need to sleep
Can scale, you can use up to 3 small gears on free plan, all loadbalanced by default
Many cartridges (like a pre-built package with servers) like MySQL, Mongo, RedisCloud, AMQPCloud, a bunch of others services using the Marketplace with a lot of free ones
Sleep when nobody is using, when someone hit a request the server goes on again , also auto scale up and down
Easy setup and Java ApplicationServers support (Tomcat, JBoss, Wildfly***)
Easy build customization via hooks
You can upgrade to bronze plan without paying a coin using the free gears you have, and you get alot of features
Runs on AWS Infrastructure
EDIT
Think of Gears as machines, it's just a fancy name they give to it, like Heroku named theirs Dynos
Price plans are located here with side by side comparison. You can check the marketplace offers here. Also they have some quick starters, all Java cartridges comes with Java 7 and Maven 3 installed by default. See here for more detailed tech.
They have a developers site with content to get started, help and documentation
** Small gears are machines with 1 CPU, 512Mb of RAM and 1GB disk
*** Wildfly on a free plan takes so much disk space, then is pratical impossible to use, but for paid plans is awesome
I am hoping to get some advice as to how i can figure out what is going on with some performance issues i am suffering from. I have a custom MVC application which is running on Azure Websites in West Europe datacenter. I have one of our offices trying to connect to the website from Singapore which is where the problem lies. If i connect to the website myself (from UK) the performance is fast and zippy. If our Singapore office tries to connect the performance is terribly slow. Sometimes getting to the initial homepage is slow (i.e. no database connections required for login page).
The page will sometimes just sit and "hang" there. What i want to know is how can i debug the performance issues with Azure? What kind of monitoring or performance checks can i do to see if it is a website / sql issue.
Thanks
I would suggest using Application Insights. It's easy to add to a custom MVC app, and will give you good info to help determine where exactly the issue lies.

The Azure New Relic add in from the market place is very useful. There is a free version which gives you plenty of detail on browser performance and basic sql profiling.
It can provide such details as shown in the screen shot below.
You can use the Support Site Extension (http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/12/01/new-updates-to-support-site-extension-for-azure-websites/) which would allow you to look at live event logs and HTTP traffic. There are also some more advanced tools for performance issues (i.e. memory dump, event viewer logs). For a deeper dive into debugging in Azure App Service see: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK4704.
Also as Ben said, Application Insights (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-detect-triage-diagnose/) may help.
I plan to implement my website (asp.net & sql2008) using windows azure, but I have difficulty to do it because windows azure has not released yet in my location (Indonesia).
Should someone like to share the solution the same with my problem would be appreciated.
The question was asked on MSDN and the answer is that it is not possible. The only solution is to wait for Windows Azure available in your country.
MSDN Forum
Just run your apps on HK or Singapore Windows Azure Public Data Centers, these are the APAC Data Centers for your region.
for testing reasons, I wanted to create an Azure account, and faced the same here in Egypt.
I've made it by remotely logging into one of our U.S-based servers, and registered from there :) If you can't do so, and need this account badly, and don't have such server, try using TOR.
Update: TOR is a proxy-like solution for your internet connection, it will redirect all requests/responses to a node on the TOR network, which consists of volunteers like you and me.
so my solution is simple, we gonna use tor to simulate that you are inside one of the permitted countries, and register your account with ease.
what you gonna need is to install TOR and configure your browser to use it, but my personal recommendation is to install TOR browser bundle, it's TOR+a Browser that is pre-configured to use it.
you gonna find a nice video on the TOR browser bundle page that will give you an overview about it.
give it a try, and tell me what happened.
I heard that apps don’t port directly and they have to be specifically written to work with Azure. I’m new to Azure and did some reading but I don’t see anything from their site or documentation that suggests that you must specifically code for Azure, so is it true?
If this question is better suited for another StackExchange site please let me know.
You should take a look at the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit to see some introductory project labs.
While you theoretically can just "drop in" some apps into a Windows Azure VM, it hardly makes sense to do so. Some apps can be migrated with only minor changes, such as an asp.net website - session state is easily handled by AppFabric Cache, and the Web Role VM is Windows Server 2008 with Full IIS. However, you'd still need to integrate with Windows Azure Diagnostics, to be able to have external visibility to the health of your app.
Further, with the example above, there are more optimal things you can do, such as moving static content to blob storage, and taking load off your VMs. This requires you to upload this content, and then change your IMG and other tag URLs to point to a slightly-different URL.
Just remember that you're moving to Windows Azure to take advantage of its platform and related services, not just to be a rack to host a server. To take advantages of these services, you're going to have to target them specifically, such as:
Access control services
Caching
Connectivity (vpn, service bus)
Diagnostics
Database (SQL Azure)
Synchronization services
Traffic management across data centers
This is somewhat true. Your apps will typically run as-is. You just need to add an azure project to the solution, and add your MVC apps as roles to the Azure Project.
I found O'Reilly's "Programming Windows Azure" to be a good conceptual introduction to Azure.
