Slowness during AE rendering using file stored on the network

Hi,
i work as IT consultant in a design studio.
This studio has 3 workstation with 2xquad xeon ,16gb ram , 15000 rpm disk, Nvidia tesla card,  fast enough to perform rendering with 3dmax using vray and other stuff.
They work a lot with watches and boat.
This spring they started to do presentation with AE cs4 and as other 3dsmax project store all data on a 2x2 xeon 4 gb debian x64 samba server with 2tb raid 1 sata.
The network is a gigabit and they can transfer to the server 100/120 mb/sec (i can achieve locally on the server 170 mb/sec from the raid).
The issue is that 3dsmax and other programs works efficiently on the network instead AE is very very slow using project stored on the server.
I've tried to set up disk caching on local workstation  but there aren't changes, so i've inspected network traffic of AE with Wireshark and i saw that AE continuosly request always the same files (seems doesn't use an algorithm of caching) .
My conclusion is:
- our network is fast for transfer but slow with latencies ( for request a file we need 50-500 ms )
Solution:
- change topology of the network : switch from gigabit to fiber cabled network (too much money)
- discover some trick of AE
I appreciate a lot ur help.
Ps:sorry for my bad bad bad english.

i forgot, copying on local disk the project folder AE spend 10 minutes to render, the same project on the network spend 1,30 hours.

  • Using files stored on remote web server/cdn as content repository

    Hello,
    Is it possible to create a document/asset in WCC that does not have it's physical file stored within the local file system/database but instead is stored in a CDN?
    We want to develop a system whereby files that are stored in a CDN are searchable/viewable/downloadable by users. The file metadata (name, description, mime type, size etc) including the URL for the file within the CDN is known. If we could send the metadata to WCC, is it possible to create the asset such that when the user clicks to view the web-viewable format the CDN URL is used and, likewise, when they click to download the video the file URL for the CDN is used.
    Thanks

    With the direction given by SnakeEyez02, I was able to solve my issues. Going to get very detailed here....
    I was somewhat stuck because I couldn't understand that when you create the site locally, how do you get it to work online. When I created the DB locally and had usernames and pwords to access, it worked fine. I thought that I could 'preview' the remote site in dreamweaver, which can be done, but takes a bit of work around (create new DB connection, add your IP to remote access list, etc). So I was stuck trying to 'preview' my site on my machine, which won't happen because the hostname should be 'localhost' even on the remote. This is because the website AND db are running on 'localhost' because my host (Bluehost) runs off 'localhost'. So I could never 'preview' the remote site due to the db running "locally" on the remote.
    With Bluehost, they automatically change a few things:
    Bluehost places certain characters in front of any username and the database. So when I export from local and import to remote, my DB went from "TBO_Golf" on the local to "(Bluehost characters)_TBO_Golf" on the remote.
    The username and pword combo I was using on my local test had to be changed to match my remote credentials. Bluehost limits the amount of characters on usernames and places specific characters in front of any username. So I had to change it from "(Local username)" to "(bluehost inserted characters)_(username)" and matching password. I could have left it and it would have worked, but every time I wanted to update, I would have to change the username/pword combo every time I went from local to remote and vice versa. So I'd rather save myself the headache and just change the local to match.
    So, when I uploaded the site to the remote, the only thing I had to do was update the DB name. I went to the website and 'TA-DA!!!' My dynamic pages now work!
    Thanks so much to SnakeEyez02 and Rob Hecker2 for their help!

  • Download of files stored in the database

    I am using FireFox and my users IE. Download of files stored in the database worked for me but not for my users. I recieve a choice of downloading the file or opening it with a full file name and file type. IE users have some strange behaviour - no name of the file and they can only save it to their local drive - some kind of weird microsoft security option. I was searching for it but couldn't find. Anyone here who would know where to search for it?

  • Best ways to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

    What are best ways to display/view PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? thanks L

    Thanks tom, sorry let me explain. Currently we have oracle forms screen, using webutil to store/view files into DB. client won't like the interface, they want us to make it more friendly, drag and drop if possible, load multiple files, as possible.. So I am exploring different ways to improve may be java (or jdev/any any other), different screen designs, different features for fileupload/download/view options.

  • Oracle reports to display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

    can we use Oracle reports to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? Thanks Lalitha

    A document stored in the database can be easily retrieved in or via the browser using mod_plsql. Simplified:
    select content, mime_type
    into v_blob, v_mime_type
    from ...
    owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);So, the link in your report should point to this database procedure.

  • Using XSLT stored in the database

    Hi all,
    I have an XML file stored in the database as a CLOB. I also have a XSLT stored in the database as a CLOB. I want to apply the XSLT to the XML but the xslprocessor.newStylesheet requires that I provide a url for the stylesheet. Is there any other way of acheiving this transformation?
    Thanks
    Goel

    Use the XMLTYPE object.
    Fetch your XML and XSL into clobs and create an XMLType object of your XML using the constructor:
    declare
    xml_obj xmltype;
    xml_clob clob;
    xsl_clob clob;
    begin
    -- fetch the xml, xsl into your clobs
    xml_obj := xmltype.createxml(xml_clob);
    htp.p(xml_obj.transform(xmltype(xsl_clob)));
    end;
    XMLTYPE object (new in 9iR2) has a very handy API for manipulating XML.

  • Transferring files stored in a network directory to SAP.

    hi Guys,
    my requirement is this is  an inbound interface, transferring PDF files stored in a network directory to SAP and web direcotry.
    i think this is something releated to system call, can some one give me some idea on it or from soemwhere i could find some doc on this or any FM to do this.....
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards.

    Hi Pawan,
    I'm not sure at this stage how this can be done if you don't have a user with a SAPGui at least for the first step.
    If you do, you could do it like this:
    - User enters path as a parameter to abap program
    - Program calls method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES
    - Program calls method GUI_UPLOAD of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to read files one by one
    - Program uses open dataset, transfer and close dataset to write the files to the application server
    - Program calls method FILE_DELETE of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to delete the files one by one from the directory.
    This, however, will only work if you have a dialog session and the user has access to the network directories in question.
    If you are running SAP on NT, and you have directories on this server mapped to PC drives, you could also use the FILE_COPY method rather than using open dataset, transfer, etc.
    If you MUST run this stuff as background jobs, I'm not sure that I can help much.
    Cheers,
    Brad

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

  • Photoshop CC crashes, and my working file disappears from the network

    I was just wondering, has anyone ever had Photoshop CC crash, and then realize the file you were working on disappeared off the network?
    I've had other files where it created a 'recovered' file upon reopening of Photoshop, but the one that crashed it, is gone...
    is there a way to allocate/recover that missing file?

    There is typically no way to get back lost files, short of restoring backups.  I hope your administrator is backing up your server regularly.
    May I suggest you change your working habits to avoid working on files directly on your network server.  Instead, copy the file to your local PC with your OS tools (e.g., Finder) and work on it there, save it there, then when you are done copy it back to the network server.
    Adobe always advises not to save files directly to the network, because of the possibility that things can go wrong and data be lost.

  • A data source based on a file stored in a network drive

    Hi,
    I created a new Crystal report using Crystal Report Designer XI R2. In the beginning, my data source is from a Excel file in local device like c:\.
    After I moved the file to a network device then recreated a report, it couldn't connect to the data source. Can anyone know how to sort it out?
    Thank you,

    Hi Jin,
    Since the Excel file is stored on a Network Drive the Crystal Reports page server, cache server, and job server, and the input and output file repository services should all be configured to be run by a domain user account which has local administration privileges. This should allow the report to access the excel file online.
    Hence you can try of these:
    The way to get this to work is to:
    a) set the job server and cache server to run under a domain account that has local admin rights (so it should appear as DOMAIN\user in the service settings) and
    b) when setting the connection in Crystal Reports connect to the share that holds the .xls using the unc path rather than the mapped drive (i.e.
    server\folder\file).
    Hope this helps.
    Shraddha.

  • Using BV stored in the repository brings up ODBC(RDO) dialog box

    Post Author: matthewh
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
                                                      Hi - not sure if this is the right forum - tried elsewhere on this site with no joy, and been struggling with this for 2 days now, and I really need it sorted,  so here goes:I'm trying
    to get a report designed on my desktop PC with Crystal XI  connecting
    to my remote server running Crystal Server XI R2 & MySQL 5.  I have
    a business view created and I can access it fine via the repository, but when I go to
    create the report or browse the data in the fields I get the ODBC (RDO)
    dialogue box asking for a DSN!  Surely the point of the server is that it
    handles all the connectivity?  I have the password stored with the
    connection in the repository on the server - have I set up something
    incorrectly at the server end?  I've used all bog-standard settings,
    nothing fancy or different and using Enterprise authentication.  I've tried using single sign-on but couldn't get it to work.  This
    is my first proper report against a data warehouse I'm building and my
    first use of Crystal Server in anger, so it's possible I've missed
    something. Also - is the Data Connection user name and password the Enterprise user name or the database user name? 

    Hi Houffle,
    You need to provide more details. For example, I cannot reproduce the behavior you describe by doing the following:
    1. Create a "minprivs" user on a 10g XE database
    2. Grant connect, resource to minprivs;
    3. Create a connection for minprivs of type=Basic with Host/Port/SID=localhost/1521/xe
    4. Connect to minprivs
    5. Create a procedure in minprivs (without any dependencies on any other schema):
    create or replace PROCEDURE secure_dml
    IS
    BEGIN
      IF TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'HH24:MI') NOT BETWEEN '08:00' AND '18:00'
            OR TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'DY') IN ('SAT', 'SUN') THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20205,
              'You may only make changes during normal office hours');
      END IF;
    END secure_dml;Running this procedure either normally or in debug mode works without an additional password prompt. It does not matter whether the Save Password check box was ticked or not in the New / Select Database Connection dialog.

  • How to link an  APEX button to a HTML file stored on the app server ??

    Hopefully this will be simple for someone
    We have some very technical word documents that I really didn't want to replicate in oracle reports
    So i have saved them as html docs , and when i open then in IE they look fine
    I have placed them in the folder where our reports are stored , but I cannot figure out how to create the URL to place behind a button in APEX ??
    Obviously the oracle reports url won't work as the uses pdf's and the servlet
    Thanks in advance
    Chris

    Assuming you are using Apache?
    You could place your Word docs in the same folder as your current Apex images directory (or a sub-directory off it) then reference them with a URL of the form http://yourserver/i/sample_word_file.doc. Alternatively you could add a new Alias entry to your dads.conf file (found in your Apache/modplsql/conf directory) to expose the folder on your webserver that contains your Word files via a URL such as http://yourserver/word_docs/
    E.g.
    Alias /word_docs/ "c:\my_docs\technical_word_docs/"

  • CFIndex PDF files stored in the DB?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to index PDF content stored as BLOB in the database, using the CF Search mechanism?
    We are using the Solr engine right now, and for query based fulltext search it works like a charm, but I couldn't figure out how to do full text search for PDFs stored in the DB.
    We don't have too many documents yet, under 1000, so I guess if all else fails, I *could* still write them out to a temp dir and do the indexing, and then do some custom linking to the DB code instead of the temp file, but that looks really dirty to me.
    Any tips and advices will be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!
    ZHU, Jia

    I don't run into this problem because I don't store PDF documents in the databse. I just store the path in the database, and leave the document in a directory.
