Concurrent  Manager is very slow

hi,
My concurrent Manager is very slow. It is taking 1 min
to run simple reports also
why it is so...
can anybody help me please...how to get rid out of this problem
My version is 11.5.9
I put processes for concurrent standard manager as below
actual processes = 10
target procesess = 10
only 3 users are connnected.
what may be the problem friends

Hi,
List the tables and indexes associated responsible for creating a stage for the Concurrent Managers.
Try this:
ALTER TABLE OWNER.FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS MOVE;
ALTER TABLE APPLSYS.FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES MOVE;
ALTER TABLE APPLSYS.FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES MOVE;
REBUILD INDEXES ON THE ABOVE TABLES;
ALTER INDEX APPLSYS.INDEX_NAME REBUILD
OR
ALTER INDEX APPLSYS.INDEX_NAME REBUILD OFFLINE;
Answer yourself: Check the size of the tables and see if you are purging the obsolete data regularly.
If you cannot purge the data then:
1) Shutdown application and concurrent managers
2) Take the backup of the tables: the three mentioned above.
3) Take an export of the tables (owner - apps)
4) login to database
5) truncate the original tables.
6) drop the tables.
7) recreate the tables - you can get the structure information from the backup you have taken.
8) import the data into the tables.
9) start concurrent managers and application.
10) Test if your concurrent managers are still slow ?
Hope the above mentioned steps will help you achieve the kinda performance you are looking for.
Regards,
Gaurav

  • Filling out form in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow...

    All of a sudden trying to fill out a shipping doc in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow. Each letter typed ends up with athe spinning beach ball for 5 or 6 seconds. Safari version Version 6.1 (8537.71). Never had an Safari issue before with this site and Firefox works fine. (Ended up using FF to get the shipment done) 
    Any ideas what is going on?

    Same here, I create many, many Fedex labels on a daily basis for work. In Mountin Lion things were working excellent, just upgraded to Mavericks and Fedex is unusable. Firefox (even in its latest version 25) works perfect with Fedex and on Mavericks too. This is definitely a problem caused by Mavericks and has nothing to do with FedEx. I think it is related to how security for JavaScript has been changed, or how Sandboxing in tabs and JavaScript relate to each other in the new version of Safari. No updates to the latest Java will fix it, because the fields on the FedEx form are populated through JavsScript coding and in this case Java is not being invoked at all. Thats why you may have different versions of Java installed, or not even have it installed, yet in Safari 7.0 those forms from FedEx and evidently form some other sites will beachball. So the only solution currently is to use another browser, which is really a lame solution. If Apple wants to make us use Safari more often, step up to the plate and show an improvement in the browser, not regressions. Mind you this is a huge regression! I have been creating labels in Fedex for some 7-8 years now and there has never been an update to Safari that would cause such a disaster. And by the way, I use Webkit nightlies. Granted the developers there tend to break things, but are very responsive and provide a fix usually within day or two. Those are the same guys that develop the new versions of Safari core and rendering, so I'm curious as to who would be voicing support here in the discussion. One thing is clear, even todays nightly of Webkit is also beachballing, so the problem is not directly related to Webkit.

  • Auto-Invoice Concurrent program running very slow

    Hi,
    EBS 11i
    Help please.......
    Our 2 users are running Auto-Invoice Concurrent programs and it made our 4-cpu (quad core) server spike to all 100%
    We have just bounced back the Oracle Apps but still it getting very slow. Is there a way to tune the auto-invoice program?
    This problem did not happen before only lately :(. Is it because our data is growing bigger?
    Thanks a lot
    Ms Inday

    Thanks hussein/helios .....I am panicking now :(
    I want to cancell all the queued Autoinvoice Master Program that are submitted so I can trace if they are the ones causing the problem. The Autoinvoice Master Program is calling a child program Autoinvoice Import Program. I also cancelled these child programs. but now I can not cancel the Master Program. Its "Phase" is Running but its status is "Paused". When I cancel it I got error >
    Request 2259845 can no longer be cancelled. The Concurrent Manager process
    that was running this request has exited abnormally. The ICM will mark this request as complered with error.How can I delete this RUNNING-PAUSED Autoinvice Master Program?
    How do I clean up these aborted processes?
    Thanks a lot

  • Managing Site - Very slow

    Lately when I have to set up a new site and I click new or
    edit in Manage Sites, it's very slow, almost like its hung up and
    DW8 is freezing up, finally it goes to the next window. What could
    cause that? It's never done that before. Is it a bug or something?
    I'm using version 8.0.2

    Probably better off asking this question in the DW newsgroup

  • Concurrent Program running very slow.

    HI,
    We are facing the issue in one of the concurrent program.
    The same program is running fine in other instance. Below is the only difference found in two instance.
    The Instance where Program is running fine have 32 GB SGA(problematic instance have 15G).
    The gather stats is not run from August.Thoug in correct instance , It ran daily.
    the table have 32 GB Data.
    Below is the trace file. Can some give some pointers on this.
    Increase in Elapsed time: In N1 it is taking 489 secs whereas in S1 it is 1385 secs. All other values i.e. disk, query, rows return etc are same. If we look into Event waited on, there is substantial increase in Total Waited time for db file% events. This suggest poor IO response in S1 as compared to N1.
    Please suggest on this. Details are provided below.

    If we are getting the Same Execution Plan in both the instance (where program is running fine and the problamatic instance). Will this gather statistics affects the performance.
    below is the plan in both the instance.

    1. upgrade to lion, which should over write previous software and the reasons for it being slow.
    No, you don't want to upgrade over a buggy system, Lion has issues of it's own that will only complicate matters, plus Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
    Learn all the pitfalls before you upgrade to Lion, like all your Rosetta/older programs will no longer work and more.
    Leave Lion for a new hardware purchase is my advice, it's still got plenty of security and other issues.
    For your performance, your likely better off replacing the hard drive with a 7,200 RPM model and maxing the RAM, download the free MacTracker to find out your specs, and OtherWorld Computing is good for videos, tools and parts.

    2. Format the hard disc and reinstall snow leopard.
    That will work, provided your data is off the machine first.
    Now how do i reinstall snow leopard as it was an online purchased upgrade from leopard.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard disk that you upgraded 10.5 Leopard from actually has the full OS X 10.6 on it.
    All you have to do is stick the disk in and hold the c key down while booting, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive, quit and install 10.6.
    Of course your not going to get the free iLife that came with the 10.5 grey disks, see if you can first install 10.5 with the same methods, then setup with the same user name as before, then upgrade to 10.6
    I think Apple nulled booting off the 10.5 disks, but it won't hurt to try.
    Another method would be to install 10.6 fresh by itself, then use the program called Pacifist to extract iLife from the 10.5 disks.

  • Site manager very slow

    I'm using DW8 ver. 8.0.2 and lately when I go to the site
    manager to create new or edit a site it's very slow, like DW is not
    responding, then it finally goes to the next window. Is there some
    bugs in DW8 that need fixing?
    Also: I added this topic yesterday and this morning it wasn't
    listed in My Forums. Why?

    How many sites do you have? Are the sites all located on the
    computer that
    is running DW? Are you running antivirus scans in real time?
    How large are
    the sites?

  • Very slow running CUITs in both Visual Studio and Microsoft Test Manager

    I've tried the exact same test cases on another less powerful computer and it runs perfectly. However on one machine it runs very slow. It seems to take ages finding execute each step. Not sure what is going on. Help greatly appreciated.

    Hi Daithi,
    Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to create a simple coded UI test such as you can record the Calculator action and then check if you still get the issue about
    running CUITs very slow in VS.
    In addition, I suggest you could try to delete all the temp files from your system and other temp files, or in short you can just log off and then log in back again....you'll definitely find your automation run faster.
    There are two blogs shared us some suggestions to improve the coded UI test performance, I often use them, if possible, please check them.

  • Financial management module is very slow for consolidation/posting executed

    Hi all,
    we are using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Managemenet module; our process of consolidation/posting is very slow at the day-end ? We have about 300-400 entries/invoices and it takes about 3-4 hours to get it done.
    Please suggest what can be hotspot areas to look into?
    If some step-by-step document then do share with me on [email protected]
    If possible then do let me know some changes to be made for faster processing of said consolidation/posting;
    Best Regards
    Talok Khatri

    My suggestion is that you contact Oracle Support for assistance on this. I wonder if you might need to upgrade your computer hardware. It should not be taking that long to process that volume of activity. Are there perhaps other activity going on at the same time that could be slowing down the posting process? You probably need to monitor the system to see what is happening when this is running. Maybe it is running against a data backup at the same time? Support would need to help you work through the possible causes.

  • My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive.

    My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive. I have mid 2010 model running on lion. Past few days it looks very unresponsive. Tried to reinstall lion as clean copy. Still no luck. Any help on this is much appreciated !

    Things That Can Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

    Our EBS R12 instance performance has become very slow.Users frequently complain of oracle forms taking a long time to open,concurrent taking more than normal time to complete etc.All standard requests like Gather Schema Statistics, Purge Concurrent/Manager Data etc are properly scheduled and complete successfully.Any pointers on how to resolve/diagnose/troubleshoot the slow performance of EBS is urgently needed and will be of much required help.
    We have also observed that while starting the EBS database, using addbctl.sh script, the db gets mounted instantly but takes around 3-4 mins to open.We reviewed the alert log file, there are no reported errors as such.
    Server Specifications:
    Processor:3.0 GHz (Single Processor)
    Memory: 16 GB
    OS:RHEL 5.2(x86)
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Can you find any errors at the OS level? Any space issue or core dump files generated?
    What changes have been done recently?
    You should find some guidelines about troubleshooting performance in these threads, please refer to the referenced documents.

    mac book pro is running very slow what can i do to speed it up?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

    so how to analysis this sutiation to get it in control,user are pinging me becuase of low performamance..
    can you please help me.
    Thanks a million

    Hi,
    As a start point, please go through the log files (Apache, Forms, CM, Database) and see if you can find any errors.
    Please verify that you run the following concurrent programs on regular basis:
    - Gather Schema Statistics
    - Purge Concurrent Request and/or Manager Data
    How many concurrent users you have? Verify that your database initialization parameters are set properly (as documented in the Metalink document). Have you done any changes recently (applied Application/Database/OS patches) or did any upgrade?
    Can you find any improvement in the performance if you stop the concurrent manager (or any of the application components)?
    If you have verified all the above and all the steps in the documents referenced in my previous reply and nothing helped, then I would suggest you log a SR and upload all the tuning reports (backend, techstack, transaction, ..etc) to Oracle support.
    Regards,
    Hussein

As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
