Office files slow when opening from a Network Share

Hi!
So, we have a client who moved from having regular Office installations to Office 365 for Mid Size business and reinstalled the Office that comes along with Office 365. Ever since we did
that, there is a delay in opening any office files from a network share. Opening up a Word or Excel document takes up a lot longer than it did before. We have another client with the exact same issue who have Office 2013, so I think its mostly something to
do with office 2013. This problem has been going on for a month, and I have tried everything I can. I have gone through most posts on technet and the internets. Tried disabling AV, Office File Validation, added the network share to trusted locations, removed
add-ins. Nothing works! All other files opens up quickly, pdf, jpg. We can open larger jpg or pdf files faster than smaller office documents. This is a significant problem with our clients as they work in recruitment and open up resumes all day from the network
share and it takes forever to open.
Any advice or help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Shaneez

Forms Opening is Very slow when opened from Client PC's.

All,
We are running forms application in 10.1.2.0 application server. We have a peculiar issue of slowness while opening forms from client PC's and not while opening from application server itself.
1) When opening the form from a Windows 7 PC it takes around 25 seconds
2) When opening the form from a Windows XP PC it takes around 15 seconds
3) When opening the form from the application server itself it took less than 3 seconds .
In essence all forms when opened from application server are opening very fast and when opened from client PC's it takes undue time. What might be the reason for the same, can anyone help us and we are pondering over this issue for some time. What are the files of interest to be visited for these kind of issues. We enabled tracing level 5 in JRE and could not find any thing fishy over it.
Request application server and forms experts to participate and help us to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Even if it's a generic issue you need to break it down in smaller parts to actually get a clue what's causing your problem. By now there is nothing we can rule out as the only thing we know is that it's slow on the client PC's.
Building a small dummy form as suggested by Andreas is a good starting point. If the performance is also bad for a small form with one block you can rule out that it has anything to do with forms and it's caused by e.g. your network. If the small form performs well rebuild one of your forms step by step and do tests for each step. By that you should find what's causing troubles.
What you can also take a look at are network roundtrips: You have to set the console window of your forms, and enable networkstats in your formsweb.cfg
networkStats=yesA typical cause for (unnecessary) roundtrips are e.g. calls to the synchronize built in or timers. If you are using Javabeans you should also take a look at them. If you are looking at your network traffic wireshark is your friend ;).
cheers

Excel 2007 ribbon freezes when opening (double clicking) a file from a network share

So unlike other post I have found when double clicking an excel file from a network share the ribbon is frozen. If I start excel from the start menu then open the file through recent documents browse to the file from within excel the ribbon is active.
Also, the preview pane is not active so it is not that issue.

Hello- I am having the same issue with a client in my office. Minimizing then bringing it back up fixes the problem but it is still a hassle. Have you found out anything else? Thanks - Erik

Office documents slow to open when on non-domain LAN.

Our notebooks are all connected to our domain. When you open an MS Office document (Word, Excel, etc..), while in our domain, they open fast. They open fine on network shares and on the desktop.
When you are out of our domain, and try to open documents on your desktop, they open fast.
When you are out of our domain and connect to a wireless network (at home for instance) and try to open documents from your desktop, it is very slow.
When you connect to our domain from that wireless using VPN, the documents on your desktop open fast again.
It is just slow when you are out of the domain (no VPN connection) and on a network.

I agree that the problem is due to non existent printers and perhaps network file shares. Our users have 5 network shares mounted and at least 3 networked printes connected.
The printers show up as offline when outside of the domain and the shares show up as disconnected. When our notebook users are outside of the office and not connected to a network, documents open fast. The slowdown comes when our users are on a non-domain
network and when they are not VPN'd into our domain. For some reason MS Word and Excell checks for access to every printer and maybe file share when a network connection is present.
One of the things that we’ve done in the past is to create a little batch script that disconnects the networked drives for everyone. We could add the disconnection of printers
too, but that’s going to be too cumbersome for most of our users, because they will have to disconnect the drives and printers when they are out of the domain and not VPN’d in. Connect drives and printers when they are out of the domain and VPn’s in. Connect
printers when they are back in the office (drives are automatically connected via login script).
Now as for your suggestions.
#2 - Setting the last printer used for each application to a local one means that they will have to remember to do that whenever they take documents outside of the office. That’s
not good. I’ll get a lot of complaints if they have to do this for Office apps only. They don’t need to do this for any other application. They just drop those files on their desktop and they’ll open regardless of the network or printer status. I'll try setting
the default printer to the XPS Document writer or another local printer and see it that helps.
#3 – Removing all the prefetch files from c:\windows\prefetch folder is not an option. This folder can be accessed only by administrators. My users are not administrators, so
that is not an option.
Ideally, what I would like to do is to stop MS Office apps from checking network access when it opens. It seems to be able to do that when there is no network connection. I think
it should only check network access when there is a link to a network location inside the document.

PL/SQL procedure is 10x slower when running from weblogic

Hi everyone,
we've developed a PL/SQL procedure performing reporting - the original solution was written in Java but due to performance problems we've decided to switch this particular piece to PL/SQL. Everything works fine as long as we execute the procedure from SQL Developer - the batch processing 20000 items finishes in about 80 seconds, which is a serious improvement compared to the previous solution.
But once we call the very same procedure (on exactly the same data) from weblogic, the performance seriously drops - instead of 80 seconds it suddenly runs for about 23 minutes, which is 10x slower. And we don't know why this happens :-(
We've profiled the procedure (in both environments) using DBMS_PROFILER, and we've found that if the procedure is executed from Weblogic, one of the SQL statements runs noticeably slower and consumes about 800 seconds (90% of the total run time) instead of 0.9 second (2% of the total run time), but we're not sure why - in both cases this query is executed 32742-times, giving 24ms vs. 0.03ms in average.
The SQL is
SELECT personId INTO v_personId FROM (
        SELECT personId FROM PersonRelations
        WHERE extPersonId LIKE v_person_prefix || '%'
) WHERE rownum = 1;Basically it returns an ID of the person according to some external ID (or the prefix of the ID). I do understand why this query might be a performance problem (LIKE operator etc.), but I don't understand why this runs quite fast when executed from SQL Developer and 10x slower when executed from Weblogic (exactly the same data, etc.).
Ve're using Oracle 10gR2 with Weblogic 10, running on a separate machine - there are no other intensive tasks, so there's nothing that could interfere with the oracle process. According to the 'top' command, the wait time is below 0.5%, so there should be no serious I/O problems. We've even checked JDBC connection pool settings in Weblogic, but I doubt this issue is related to JDBC (and everything looks fine anyway). The statistics are fresh and the results are quite consistent.
Edited by: user6510516 on 17.7.2009 13:46

The setup is quite simple - the database is running on a dedicated database server (development only). Generally there are no 'intensive' tasks running on this machine, especially not when the procedure I'm talking about was executed. The application server (weblogic 10) is running on different machine so it does not interfere with the database (in this case it was my own workstation).
No, the procedure is not called 20000x - we have a table with batch of records we need to process, with a given flag (say processed=0). The procedure reads them using a cursor and processes the records one-by-one. By 'processing' I mean computing some sums, updating other table, etc. and finally switching the record to processed=1. I.e. the procedure looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE process_records IS
    v_record records_to_process%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
     OPEN records_to_process;
     LOOP
          FETCH records_to_process INTO v_record;
          EXIT WHEN records_to_process%NOTFOUND;
          -- process the record (update table A, insert a record into B, delete from C, query table D ....)
          -- and finally mark the row as 'processed=1'
     END LOOP;
     CLOSE records_to_process;
END process_records;The procedure is actually part of a package and the cursor 'records_to_process' is defined in the body. One of the queries executed in the procedure is the SELECT mentioned above (the one that jumps from 2% to 90%).
So the only thing we actually do in Weblogic is
CallableStatement cstmt = connection.prepareCall("{call ProcessPkg.process_records}");
cstmt.execute();and that's it - there is only one call to the JDBC, so the network overhead shouldn't be a problem.
There are 20000 rows we use for testing - we just update them to 'processed=0' (and clear some of the other tables). So actually each run uses exactly the same data, same code paths and produces the very same results. Yet when executed from SQL developer it takes 80 seconds and when executed from Weblogic it takes 800 seconds :-(
The only difference I've just noticed is that when using SQL Developer, we're using PL/SQL notation, i.e. "BEGIN ProcessPkg.process_records; END;" instead of "{call }" but I guess that's irrelevant. And yet another difference - weblogic uses JDBC from 10gR2, while the SQL Developer is bundled with JDBC from 11g.

Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
To replicate:
The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
browser being run on windows 7:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

Using robocopy to copy files from a network share over a WinRS command line session

Hello,
Preface: Using server 2008 enterprise.
I can't seem to get robocopy to function over WinRS and I'm not sure where the problem actually lies. Running robocopy locally on the computer does work fine, but as soon as I try to run it through a remote command prompt through the WinRS client or directly with the WinRS client I get an access denied message (error 5).
I've tried using runas while logged into the remote command prompt as well, thinking that it could have been some sort of permissions inheritence issue.
I've checked the permissions on the remote file share, I've even given 'Everyone', 'Anonymous Logon' and the computer's active directory account full control over the folder and the file I'm trying to copy, but still get the access denied error.
I've tried using /COPY:DT since I read that usually resolved error 5 issues.
None of these things have worked.
I'm kind of out of ideas, I've read some blogs of people who have written powershell scripts which use winrm/robocopy so I figure I'm missing something stupid. Or maybe I've stumbled upon a bug?

Yep, I verified permissions on them all :(
To maybe complicate the issue, I looked at the environment variables for myself while logged in locally to the computer and through WinRS and they look to be the same.
EDIT: Out of pure frustration I wrote a quick console application which impersonates the currently logged in user and copies a file from the network share I'm trying to access to the local computer. The application properly impersonates the user - but does not copy the files while it's run through WinRM. When you run the application as a locally logged in user it works just fine.
WinRM must be behaving goofy :(

Photos not opening in PS when opened from Bridge. [was:Question]

Photo's not opening in PS when opened from bridge, this has been happening for the last few weeks. I will be working in PS and opening from bridge OK, then suddenly I will open about 6 photo's but they only show the tabs at the top of the screen but no photos. I have to close PS and reopen before they show. Can anyone help it is driving me crazy. Tks

The odds are you chose the logical file rather than the correct file as your external editor:

IPhoto 11 is so slow when opening

Very recently my iPhoto has become so slow when opening, it can take anywhere between 3 and 7 minutes, during this time my Macbook just hangs, I can't use any other programs.
I have attempted running the iPhoto first aid, I have picked all of the options on the first aid list and nothing has helped. I have tried quitting everything before opening iPhoto and this makes no difference. I have also deleted some of the photos from my library, but I don't have an exceptionally large library anyway, 1900 jpegs.
I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 with mountain lion 10.8.2, I have no issues with any other programs being slow.
Once it opens it is generally fine, but it's just turning a 20 second task into a 10 minute task.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have (had?) the identical problem, with just slightly different details (I'm on Lion, not Mountain Lion, and I haven't tried repairing anything yet in iPhoto). iPhoto used to start up in a reasonable amount of time, but it seems since updated to 9.4.2, the startup time is incredibly long (I'll guess 5-10x longer). Admittedly, I have one of the largest iPhoto libraries I've heard of, but I'm just really trying to see why the update changed startup time so much.
Note that I have 500GB of free space on my boot drive, and that creating a new iPhoto library results in a speedy startup.
An oddity I just now see after creating a new library is, when I go back to select my old library at iPhoto launch, there are two libraries listed, with identical names, and identical paths ("iPhoto Library" - /Users/UserName/Pictures/iPhoto Library). Looking in the finder, I only see one Library with that name. After playing around with opening either one, now the first one says "(default)" after it every time.
Note that I just added "(had?)" to the beginning of my post, as it seems like my library has started opening in the normal amount of time since I played around with the libraries (creating a new one, etc.). So maybe just creating a new library and then going back to the default library with help thatgurlwho too?

Cannot start WAS when disconnected from the network

My HP dv6 1030us laptop becomes slow when removed from AC power

Hi,
My HP DV6 laptop has windows 7 operating system and it behaves pretty weirdly .
It becomes really slow when removed from AC Power and have to restart my system to bring it to normal speed don't know why its behaving like that and help to resolve the problem would be greatly appreciated and also my system gets overheated a lot and I have to use a cooling pad always to keep it cool and running properly along with AC power
I would greatly appreciate any advice in resolving these issues.
Thanks in advance.

for how long have you had this laptop... If you had it for longer than a year you may be dealing with a dust bunny (acumulation of dust in the vent that's right beside the fan). Normally when that vent is clogged you get the type of overhetaing you may be experiencing, so i recomend you to open it up and give it a nice clean as soon as you can. As for your computer slowing down without the ac adapter.
Do you know under what power option are you running ur computer?

IPad mini is slow when opening an image in photos

I Have an iPad mini (wifi) and its slow when opening an image on photos. It takes 20 seconds to open a single image.

Iphone 4s new handset is damaged when opened from pack

The new iphone4s handset is damanged when opened from pack. The phone was ordered online. What is reson for the same, is it due to lack of quality check.

I suggest you take that up with the carrier that delivered the package. They are responsible for delivery and if it was damaged in delivery, they are responsible. If it doesn't seem the damage occurred because of shipping damage, then contact Apple, describe the problem and they will advise you what to do. Things happen, however, since we are users here just like you we cannot tell you how to handle the situation. I certainly can't tell you the reason it was damaged.
