tools to support MIVA’s newly developed Global Platform, a J2EE-based high volume
application for supporting their pay-per-click business. 

•	Wrote a web-based monitoring tool called GPTOOLS to monitor multiple Red Hat
Linux production servers. The tool allowed the simultaneous access of multiple
servers and database instances to start/stop/restart services on multiple servers
simultaneously, diagnose problems, monitor log files, and monitor the health of
multiple clustered JBOSS app servers, Apache web server, Oracle and TimesTen
databases. The tool was written using CGI and Korn shell scripts to access remote
servers and dramatically increased the ability of staff to support the GP
application. Was highly commended on the introduction of the tool to the GP
platform.
•	Rewrote a number of existing shell scripts and cron jobs to start/stop/restart
the GP application and added the ability for self diagnosis of the application
and tools to notify staff of impending issues before they occurred. The rewrite
of these scripts dramatically increased the uptime of the application and the
ability to report issues via email and text messaging.
•	Installed and configured JBOSS Application server and setup JDBC connection
pooling with Oracle. Setup Apache web server with configuration to hook into
JBOSS through connector.  Monitor connection pool usage thru the JMX Console and
memory usage using Unix ‘top’ command. Configure LOG4J logging to log application
as needed.
•	Coordinated new version release installations/deployments with customer and
communicated appropriately via email. Ensured new releases function before
releasing back to customer.
•	Monitor overall Global Platform and ensure tickets opened by Help Desk are
addressed within established contractual timelines and do appropriate escalation
if needed. Close ticket when issues are resolved and communicate resolution
appropriately.
