2010.05 snapshots. Less is more.

Hi,
New installation media are available.
There are less of them, and they are smaller. But they can do more...
Notable changes:
Archiso (image builds):
* all iso files can now be burned onto CD's as well as written to media like usb sticks (isohybrid)
* more than half of the packages in core are now xz compressed
* next to the single architecture images we provide dual images which can be used as 32bit or 64bit medium
* use isolinux bootloader exclusively for booting the live media
* snapshot of current core, including kernel 2.6.33.4-1, pacman-3.3.3-5 and glibc-2.11.1-3
* updated memtest
* support for PXE booting
* provide wpa_supplicant
* support virtio
AIF (installation tool):
* ability to choose uuid/label/devicefile blockdevice representation; automatically applied in menu.lst, fstab, etc
* split off UI library into separate libui-sh project
* support virtio blockdevices
* allow user to specify additional custom arguments for mkfs and the like
Additionally, quite some bugs have been fixed, mostly in AIF.
And of course, the Official installation guide has been updated to reflect these changes.
Thanks to everyone who contributed, this release took a long time but I think it's worth it.

Snapshot Refresh taking More Time

Dear All,
We are facing a Snapshot refresh problem currently in Production Environment.
Oracle Version : Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0
Currently we have created a Snapshot on a Join with 2 remote tables using Synonyms.
ex:
CREATE SNAPSHOT XYZ REFRESH COMPLETE WITH ROWID
AS
SELECT a.* FROM SYN1 a, SYN2 b
Where b.ACCT_NO=a.ACCT_NO;
We have created a Index on the above Snapshot XYZ.
Create index XYZ_IDX1 on XYZ (ACCT_NO);
a. The Explain plan of the above query shows the Index Scan on SYN1.
If we query above Select Statement,it hardly takes 2 seconds to exedute.
b. But the Complete Refresh of Snapshot XYZ is almost taking 20 Mins for just truncating and inserting 500 records and is generating huge Disk Reads as SYN1 in remote table consists of 32 Million records whereas SYN2 contains only 500 Records.
If we truncate and insert inot a table as performed by the Complete refresh of Snapshot,it hardly takes 4 Seconds to refresh the table.
Please let me know what might be the possible reasons for the Complete refresh of Snapshot taking more time.

Dear All,
While refreshing the Snapshot XYZ,I could find the following.
a. Sort/Merge operation was performed while inserting the data into Snapshot.
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO "XYZ"
SELECT a.* FROM SYN1 a, SYN2 b Where b.ACCT_NO=a.ACCT_NO;
The above operation performed huge disk reads.
b. By Changing the session parameter sort_area_size ,the time decreased by 50% but still the disk reads are huge.
I would like to know why Sort/Merge Operation is performed in the above Insert?

How to change "less" to "more" as a default for reading man pages?

I can't stand less. less is not more.

Well, less may be more but, sometimes, depending on the name that the program has been called, it might behave differently
I think that the same thing happens with vim and vi.

Conditional Sums that Aren't less than/more than/equal to Dependent

I think this is a simple-enough idea to grasp, but I'm not sure anything like this has been implemented in Numbers. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in Excel, at least not on my level of proficiency.
I want to be able to create a Sum that adds up only certain cells in a column. The numbers are arbitrary, but can be distinguished from the ones I DON'T want added by something unique.
As an example, let's say all the numbers I want added are colored green, while the ones I do not want added (or want to appear in a sum in another cell) are colored red.
Can I do something like this? How?
Message was edited by: zoo1023

I did this for my kennel, basically using more "helper" columns. All dogs fall into exactly one of 4 categories - ours and alive, ours and deceased, not ours and alive, not ours and deceased.
Within each category, I have birth dates for some, but not for others. If deceased, I may have the date of death, whether or not I have the birth date. So it gets pretty complicated.
Calculating, for example, average age at death, I want only deceased dogs, and then choose within that group, ours or not ours, but beyond that, I don't want to average in dogs for whom I lack a birth or death date.
So: I have a checkbox column for Ours and a checkbox column for Alive.
I also have columns (evaluating to 1 or to 0) for whether an age *can be calculated* (one for alive and birth date present, one for deceased and both dates present).
And I then perform a SUMIF for ages in the relevant subgroup and another SUMIF for a count of the relevant subgroup (because I don't think there is a defined "AVERAGEIF" function).
I hope this didn't confuse you more than help you!

Disc Utilities..is less..more?

I'm about at the end of my rope trying to solve constant freezing of my MDD. I have run Disc Utility, Onyx, Cocktail, DiscWarrior, and TechTool Pro, just to name a few..and I have run them often (I routinely run Coctail every morning, at start up)..knowing that the machine will freeze-up in a matter of minutes, and I'll have to shut it down with power button. Is there such a thing as overkill with these utilities? Disc Warrior gives me a message that the "Original Directory is too severely Damaged and cannot be rebuilt. Disc not modified 2155-2179"..so I then just run TechTool, and it rebuilds it for me. Would anyone recommend installing new main hard drive and try a new, clean install of Tiger? That's my latest thought. I live in extreme southern Mexico, very remote..Mac service is out of the question and parts take forever to arrive, so I have to be a little creative. Any help/advice appreciated.

H David-
Sorry to say, but the DiskWarrior report reigns supreme. Any data recording being done on that drive is in grave danger of being lost or corrupted. Also, continually running a drive with a damaged directory increases the potential for mechanical failure of the drive.
You are running on borrowed time.
You could try an overwrite of the drive with zero's, (using DW) re format and reinstall your OS. If that doesn't work, all you can do is as you said, get a new drive and start fresh.
One note about TechTool-though a very good piece of software, the hard drive repair feature is not what most consider to be good. It is often said that drive repair should be left to other programs, such as Disk Warrior or Drive Genius.

Subscription emails: Less is More

Hey y'all —
I searched this topic but couldn't locate any new news since c. New Year's...
( i ) May I presume that the inability to have "Settings updated successfully" for anything but "Send subscription emails: Immediately (default)" is a system transition problem that hasn't made it to the top of the pile yet? Doesn't the attendant emailing ad infinitum put a big strain on the Discussions' servers?
( ii ) Will a "Never" or "Digest only..." option be incorporated in the subscriptions system, as time allows?
...or is it now, and I can't find it?
...or am I all wet?
Thanks!
Dean

716/3162
Hello Dean,
( i ) Although I'm not sure the daily or weekly email notifications yet work completely as they should, personally I have no problem at all changing my Subscription Preferences and saving them immediately.
Also: Because it's only since two or three days that I've chosen "immediately" instead of "daily", I'm not sure whether this is a recent improvement, or was it that the problem existed only in the Daily/Weekly options: anyway, now the mails I receive clearly show, directly in the Subject, what the update is about. To me it is another step in the right direction.
( ii ) That's a good suggestion!
( iii ) Completely off-topic, regarding some of the old questions that I saw (among all the ones I missed):
- level4, even some of the so-called "Panther-only" versions, have always worked as well in Tiger. About the wrong website stating "Panther-only": I wrote to Volker yesterday, and he fixed this right away. The new URL is
http://homepage.mac.com/vrunkel/level4.html
- SuperDuper! and Archive&Install:
I don't know what a "Sandbox" is for (I don't use SD myself), but anyway the main purpose of a backup software is NOT to ensure OS health... The question of cloning also every fault is still there, but it is true that it's firstly a matter of OS maintenance and safe using (no hacking etc...).
About A&I: I am positive, 100% sure, an Archive&Install can bring back some faults from a previously corrupted system. At the moment that's exactly what I'm experiencing, with a permission mystery that I "saved" two times now, after two A&I...
Best regards!

After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

Hi everyone,
I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
• 6GB reserved for other applications
• Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
• After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
• Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
• CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
• RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
• Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
I've since tried -
Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
Lots of combinations.
But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
The chose Edit > Purge > All
And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

Exchange Server 2010 Backup and Restore

Hai,
I have Exchange server 2010 stand alone server combined with mailbox, hub and cas role. i dont have backup application program. I want to take my exchange database backup to my SAN storage automatically everyday...
Using windows server backup i can take full backup only and i can schedule it to happen daily.. Is it possible can i take incremental backup??????????for exchange 2010 database.
Thanks Chandru CT. MCITP

You have two basic options to backup Exchange 2010, VSS snapshots and "native backup" (meaning a Lag copy). As far as VSS backups go, there are three components; the VSS Writer, the VSS Provider, and the VSS Requestor. The Writer is built into
Exchange. In fact in Exchange 2010 there are two - the Exchange VSS Writer and the Exchange VSS Replica Writer. The provider can be a software VSS provider such as the Microsoft Shadow Copy provider or a hardware provider (usually supplied by your
SAN vendor. The requestor is what you would tend to think of as the backup application; it coordinates activities between the Writer and the Provider.
As far as the Exchange 2010 plugin for Windows backup goes, it a very minimal requestor. It only supports the Exchange 2010 VSS Writer, not the Replica Writer. This means you can only take backups of the Active copy of a database. The requirement
to backup the entire "volume" in the windows sense, or partition to the rest of us is a function of the way VSS works and is no real surprise. In fact, another limitation of VSS is that the logs and database need to be on seperate volumes: see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832794.aspx.
That it only takes full backups makes sense as well. Shadow copies, like many software providers and many hardware providers out there are copy on write. Initially, after the first one that is, they take up minimal space for some metadata.
As data is writen to the volume while the the snapshot is in place, the original blocks are evacuated to a "difference area" and the write is then written to the newly evacul\ated spot. You can generally put the difference area on the same volume or
somewhere else. The downside is to write a block while a copy on write snapshot is in place means a read and two writes for every write. This gets ugly on RAID 5 which already has a write penalty of 4; that turns into 9 IOs for every write while
the copy on write snapshot is in place. Since you can't do the snapshots on the replica because the replica writer isn't supported, that IO hit is on the active copy. When using copy on write snapshots, you generally want as few around as possible
for as short a time as possible; usually just long enough to export or copy the snapshot to another set of spindles. I really wouldn't want to use WSB plugin for Exchange 2010 in anything but the smallest deployments.
What about native backup? Well then you take a 100% space hit for every lag copy. In addition, restoring a LAG is a one shot deal. As you strive with the LAG to match what you could achieve with even daily or weekly copy on write snapshots,
the number of database copies, and Exchange mailbox servers, poliferates. You may want to consider a "Happy medium" that combines a LAG for fault tolerance/protection against logical corruption with copy on write snapshots (replicated or copied
to seperate storage) for HA. Perhaps DPM would be worth a look in your situation.
You did mention that you have a SAN. Most SAN vendors offer hardware VSS Providers. Many are copy on write, and you shift that set of problems to the, albeit likey a bit more performant SAN, Some vendors use other stratagies. The vendor
I work for uses allocate on write, so it avoids the 3 IOs per write copy on write penalty while a snapshot is in place. This means you can snapshot frequently and keep many of them around without penalty shortening your RPO and RTO. They optionally
archive truncated logs allowing for "up to the minute" restore of older snapshots, not just the last one. They also provide a proprietery version of RAID 6, called RAID DP that outperforms RAID 1. Combine that with all the storage efficiency features
like dedupe of primary storage, thin provisioning, compression, etc., that can all be combined and it starts to get compelling as the size of your deployment increases. Although I might be a bit biased when it comes to SAN vendors, if your SAN is someone
other than NetApp I still encourage you to talk with your SAN vendor and see what features/functionality they offer that can help you address your backup needs for Exchange 2010. I think you'll find much to like; it really comes down to scale and a cost/benefit
analysis.
If you decide that hardware VSS providers are not you thing and want to stay with a software vss provider, I encorage you to talk to the usual backup software vendors as well. Many can integrate with DAS and/or SAN, and have their own software
VSS providers often including support for the Exchange 2010 replica writer. This at a minimum allows you to snapshot passive copies. Features like replication (to get the changed blocks to other storage or off site), tape support (to roll backups
off to tape potentially to store off site) and catalogs come to mind as very useful things to have.
I'd take a look around at what's available and see if any of the things offered meet your business needs at a price you can afford to pay. The WSB Plug-in is a bare bones sort of thing, and it only gets better from there.

TDMS functions much slower in CVI 2010

Hello everyone.
Today I noticed that at least some TDMS functions are much slower in CVI 2010 compared to CVI 2009 SP1 and prior. I have created and attached a simple sample project that creates a TDMS file with about 3000 file level properties and tries to read it back in afterwards. On all releases prior to 2010, this needs less than 10 seconds. On 2010 it's around an hour, if not more! Unfortunateky this is pretty much a show-stopper for me. Any comments?
Thanks, Marcel

tdmsTimingTest.zip ‏3 KB

Hello Marcel -
What you've reported is actually a known issue, and is unfortunately considered to be expected behavior. Let me try to explain:
There was a relatively large refactoring of the underlying TDMS code in LabWindows/CVI 2010. This refactoring was intended to more closely align our internal implementation to that of LabVIEW. As a result of this refactoring, we were able to address some internal issues we had previously been unable to address, as well as more correctly handle the data stored in the TDMS file. Unfortunately, this refactoring unmasked a performance issue that had always been present when reading a large number of properties one at a time.
This performance issue was not uncovered for LabWindows/CVI 2010 because we had previously focused our performance testing on reading and writing data to a file, not metadata. We considered it unlikely that a customer would have more than dozens of properties for any one channel or group or file, and as a result, the performance issues you've reported were overlooked.
However, we did recently find the performance issues you've reported. As a result, there will be a handful of undocumented functions for returning all (or a subset of) properties on a channel, group, or file in LabWindows/CVI 2010 SP1. This will allow for performance in line with what you'd seen in LabWindows/CVI 2009 SP1 and earlier, as long as you are OK with grabbing all the properties at once. These functions are undocumented because, in general, we don't release new features with service packs. Also, the functions are a little more difficult to use than normal CVI APIs, so we have not yet determined how or when they will be publicly documented. When LabWindows/CVI 2010 SP1 releases (later this summer), feel free to reply back to this post or send me a private message, and I'll work with you on the details of calling these undocumented functions.
Out of curiosity, we'd like to know your use case for creating that many properties. You're the first customer we've encountered using such a large number of properties, and we'd like to ensure that we are able to satisfy your use case in future versions of the API.
Thanks for the report, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused,

One or more infocube

hello,
i got this questiom
I want to know about perfomance... what is better?
Lets think this scenario: if I have a query which want to compare data 2009 and 2010 (lets imagine they have more and less same records (forget about aggregate)
which is the best way?
a) MB : Infocube 2008 + Infocube 2009 + Infocube 2010
or
b) MB: Infocube 2008 + Infocube (2009+2010) //
the option b) its best way to select to database? because its just doing one select .. else a) two selects.
so, which would be the best approach a) or b) and why?
thx

Hi
InfoCubes with exactly the same characteristics and key figures, where one InfoCube contains the data for 2001, for example, and a second InfoCube contains data for 2002 are called as Homogenous Multiproviders. Homogenous MultiProviders can be used to partition on the modeling level of the InfoProvider.
If you want to improve the performance of a query for a MultiProvider, you can firstly check how the sub-queries are processed.
Execute the query via the query monitor (transaction RSRT) with the option Execute + Debug. Choose the MultiProvider Explain option. You can see messages in the upper part of the screen that displays the query result.
A query based on a MultiProvider is divided internally into sub-queries. A sub-query is generated for each InfoProvider associated with the MultiProvider.By default, the existing subqueries are processed in parallel.
Use RSRT to execute the query with the Execute + Debug option. Choose the MultiProvider Explain option. The upper area of the screen, on which the query result is displayed, contains messages on how the query has been divided.
In your Scenario, it is better to have two cubes as the subqueries are processed in parallel and both require one DB select.
And after select the data need not be filtered thus reducing one step for processing.
Hope this helps,
Aparna Duvvuri

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Which Adaptors/Cords do I need to hook my mid-2010 Macbook Pro into my new HDTV?

I heard they changed the port (to include audio as well as video) after my model and I want to make sure I order the right adaptors so I can hook my macbook into my new HDTVs HDMI port.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Jake

I don't know that it will carry audio on a mid-2010, but for less than $7 you can try this adapter from Monoprice.
Worked great on my late 2011. Should work for you.
