Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library
Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?
Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

AP Trial Balance - File is massive and takes a long time to open up
Hello,
We are upgrading from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3 and are running into some serioud problems with the Accounts Payables Trial Balance report in Detail Mode.
1. The Report takes upwards of 10 minutes to open up - and in many cases does not.
2. On further research we see that the report output file is > 500MB whereas comparable 11i Trial Balance files are only 19MB.
3. We tried running in various formats Text, PDF, HTML with no luck.
4. In fact HTML and Text formats gave “Authentication failed” errors when we tried to open the report.
My questions are:
1. Why is there a such a large increase in file size? Is this expected going to R12?
2. Is there a way to speed up the opening of the large files or create smaller files? - (summary mode, and smaller date ranges are not options as per business needs). Even a 2 month date range give the same problems.
3. We noticed that the XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES table has 36,521,125 records...LARGE.
4. We compared the ap_liability_balance records between 11i and R12. We have 29,171,382 in 11i and 37,769,034 in R12. But this is expected as we purge regularly in 11i production and I don't think this difference (about 30%) in the size of the tables should cause such a large difference in the size of the report files (nearly 2000%!!!).
5. Why are we getting Authentication failed errors? Just for these reports?
Of course we opened an SR, but you know how SRs go :-) and this is a time critical project with our deadlines nearing.
Any help or pointers from the experts here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edited by: user11992646 on Jan 27, 2012 2:12 AMHi Hussein,
Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
We did some trouble shooting since then.
We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12? It really is massive! The text file from 11i was just 19MB
Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text. I would expect plain text file to be much smaller. How can we get the output in plain text?
1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
I will appreciate if others can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
Thanks in advance for your time! -

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.
Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.
Thanks

Outlook 2010 takes a long time to open emails with embedded images
Hello,
outlook 2010 on windows 7 both with latest updates applied. outlook is in online mode and the option "Don't download automatically in HTML email messages or RSS tiems" is not selected.
it takes a long time to open the message with an embedded picture: at 6 sec to open an image size of 75kb
When I open the same message in OWA no delays at all.
I am using Exchange server 2010 Sp2 and I already created new outlook profiles for the users affected. no changes.
Any ideas?Hi Aprylmsx,
According to your description, I recommend you refer to the following methods to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Please check if there is any anti-virus software on your client PC, if yes , please disable it and check the result.
2. Please check if there are any 3rd party add-ins in your outlook, if yes, please remove it and check the result.
In addition, How many users encounter this issue? a lot or just only you?
Best regards,
Niko

Prelude takes a long time to open a (new) project file
Hi,
I'm trying out Prelude, and I've created a new project and ingested (via link) about 20 hours of Canon XF footage in about 1000 files from an internal hard drive. All the media loaded correctly and all the audio peak files were generated.
When I close and reopen Prelude and try to open that project, the "loading project" window pops up, the progress bar proceeds to completion over a few seconds, and the window goes away. The issue is that Prelude is then unresponsive for the next ten or fifteen minutes! I can see the entire interface, but nothing responds. I can see the clips listed, but their thumbnails are not loaded. Windows System Monitor tells me Prelude is actively using CPU and accessing the disk. After 10-15 minutes, the thumbnails appear and I'm able to use Prelude, but this seems like a LONG time to load a not-so-big project on a pretty new system. Is this normal?
My system has one of the new i7-4770k processors, 16 GB of RAM, a Samsung 840 SSD for the system drive, and an internal Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM drive as the media drive for this project, so I would expect loading to be pretty snappy. While Prelude is unresponsive, system monitor shows it using 15-20% CPU, 11 GB of RAM, and only 5-10 MB/s disk access. I've tried recreating the project file from scratch several times, with the same result every time.
Is this wait time normal? Is there any way I can speed it up?
If it's still loading, it seems like it should provide some feedback about that, too.Hi Michael,
I tested out Prelude with approximately half of the same footage of my
larger project. It still had a brief unresponsive period but,
interestingly, the relationship to the amount of footage didn't seem to be
linear. Whereas a project with all the footage takes 10 minutes, this one
only took about a minute.
I should also point out that, although this is all Canon XF footage and all
the media is in numbered subdirectories with metadata like on the card,
they are not contained within the "CLIPS001" directory that your Canon XF
importer uses to identify XF media. Therefore, when I import them, the
import dialog doesn't identify the media directories as such. I don't know
whether that makes a difference, just wanted to try to help narrow it down
in any way I can.
Hope that helps. Will you update me when you have something?
Thanks. -
Speedgrade Takes a Long Time to Open When Direct Linking From PP
Hello,
I was just trying out the new tutorial and footage for Speedgrade (the Pizza and Coffee stuff).
I notice that the very first time I do a direct link from the provided PP sequence, that there is a very long hang on the SG splash screen (with a series of progress bars animating over and over at the bottom). After a long time, SG finally opens.
After going through this process, I notice that future round trips between PP and SG in this same project no longer cause the long delay.
My question is, what is happening during that initial long delay? I know that there is not supposed to be any transcoding, etc. in the new workflow but if that is what is happening, where are the new files begin stored?
Thanks,
Lance
P.S. Bonus question, Are the Tabs like Timeline, Clip, Stereo 3D, Audio, etc supposed to be locked when working in a direct link project?It could be a normal behavior to see a long loading process. The timing is related to a lot of different things, but there isn't any transcoding process. So no new files are created.
Yes, when using Direct Link, there are a few functionality greyed out. -
any info would be appreciated, i have tried different things to see if it is a setting that i don't have right, but i just cant get the camera to focus when i want to take a pic. it takes is a long time to focus and it is very frustrating. Babies don't wait for your camera to focus...................lolol.
It definitely shouldn't be that slow, are you using the stock camera? what mode are you using it in? what other settings do you have setup? try downloading another camera like "a better camera" or any other free one and see if it behaves the same. If it does that tells me that either the lens is really dirty or the hardware may have an issue. Make sure the lens is clean then try either a restart or power down and battery pull and see if that solves anything.

Since a couple of weeks my btyahoo email is behaving strangely. It take a while to load when I enter, and if I click on an e-mail it opens a blank, contentless page. After a while I am eventualluy able to see the content, but it is annoying. BT (the provider) had remote access to check the problem and thinks it is something to do with the browser. They suggested I disinstall and install again. Can you advice? Will I lose all my bookmarks if I do so (I have quite a few...)
* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat! -
All details shown under 'Question'
There has been a security update of the Flash Player and the current version is 10.1 r85 , so you are two versions behind (previous was 10.1 r82).
See http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -
It also happens when using the Media option in programs like iMovie. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?
That is long...
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
If it is...
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there.

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files
How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder
Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?
