    50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    We're experiencing a 50%+ rate of failure in obtaining OWNER and VIEWER data. 

    Due to the fact that we're currently unable to update our client-side code, and that the test version of our application is no longer accessible, we can't provide a more detailed debugging of this issue.

     During initialization get_owner and get_viewer are true.

    if( get_owner ){var ownerRequest = dataRequest.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.OWNER);

    dataRequest.add(ownerRequest);

    }

     

    if( get_viewer ){var viewerRequest = dataRequest.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER);

    dataRequest.add(viewerRequest);

    }

    Re: 50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    I'm also seeing this problem - my calls to get basic user information are failing regularly.  I don't have stats, but users are complaining about it.  (This is even with code that retries the calls if the initial call fails..)

    We have folks looking into this.

    It is.

    The rate of failures seems to have increased BUT we're also seeing a high incidence of busy errors (below).

    When I'd checked our server logs previously, it was apparent that the owner and viewer headers were being defined properly - but the FetchPersonRequest was failing.

    Server is too busy

    Re: 50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    The failure rate seems to be decreasing. My recent tests show ~80% success for new logins and refreshes. At this point, a new login seems to have a higher likelihood of success than when executing the fetch call after a refresh.

     

    thanks for getting on this so quickly.

    Re: 50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    I'm seeing closer to 25% failures. I just loaded our application 5x and firebug received a 404 error from the OpenSocial container 3 out of 12 requests.

    Re: 50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    I see a 404 on just about every other request/reload. It switches between 404's on owner, viewer, or app data requests and sometimes requests for friends.

    Ok, I'm going to report this, but want to know if anyone else is having issues.

    Here is another one I see frequently (reload and it goes away most of the time):  

    myOsTrace is not defined http://api.msappspace.com/OpenSocial/MyOpenSpace004.Engine.js Line 400  myOsTrace("Ajax.readyStateChanged()");

    Hope this helps....

    Timing out on getting Person, specifically owner data, here as well.

    Re: 50%+ failure rate in obtaining Person data

    We're seeing the same problem here.  Something like 25-50% of newFetchPersonRequest sent are failing. Using:

    var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
    req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('OWNER'), 'owner');
    req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('VIEWER'), 'viewer');
       
    req.send( buildPage );

    The response from the myspace servers are as follows:

    The page cannot be found

    The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable .

    Please try the following:

    • Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
    • If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted.
    • Click the Back button to try another link.

    HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

    Technical Information (for support personnel)

    • Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 404.
    • Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom Error Messages.

    This is still a problem, any ETA on a fix - nothing on Twitter BTW - only a post at the bottom of the blog entry.
