Adding a client to a collection is slow

Or "Help me like SCCM 2012"!
I like it in principle, but it seems awfully fragile.
For instance, we had it deploying an OS image just fine. The consultant who put this functionality in place included a VB script to place newly imaged machines in to the correct Departmental OU - based on the given host name - which I then edited to include
all our OUs (a task which he left for us to do anyway) plus some error checking and logging. I didn't change the functionality of the Task Sequence itself, but then the process broke. This was a few months ago (Oct 2013) so I can't recall the exact error but
I do recall it was after the Task Sequence commenced.
Then clients wouldn't even get a response to their DHCP request although I realise this may not be an SCCM problem...
Then other projects took higher priority until yesterday when I started to look at the issue again and found new problem! The client would get an IP address (from the correct range) but when I'd choose F12 to start the Network service boot it would fail
with "PXE-M0F: Exiting Boot Agent". No other errors.
So, having read an article about using troubleshooting SCCM I logged on to the server and ran trace32.exe opening up the SMSPXE.log then tried the client again...at which point the Network service boot worked and the OS image deployed correctly. Please note,
I made NO changes to the server when I logged on to it.
What to do now? Well, I decided to try the OS deployment again, just to be sure it's working before announcing to my colleagues that they can use it again. So, I deleted the client from the Devices folder in the SCCM console then ran the 'Import Computer
Configuration' wizard to get it in the 'OS Deployment' collection but this time with a standard hostname to see if that VB script would work (previously I'd given it a name of "AAAA" just to see it at the top of any list). That was over an hour ago
and I STILL can't see it in the Device Collection.
This is just so frustrating. It works then it doesn't, then it doesn't but with a different symptom, then it works again, but then any 'simple' (in theory) operation like getting a client in to a Device Collection seems to do absolutely nothing.
Why is it SO fussy and flaky?
SCCM Service Pack 1 (Version Number is 5.0.7804.1000).

OK, after a nice long gap overnight, I've just tried another Network boot on the client and isolated the following lines from SMSPXE.log:

Get the current context of the site where web-part is added in the same site collection

Hi,
I'm creating a visual web-part in SharePoint 2013 using server object model (can't user COM as the code will run on the same server) to get all the members of "Members" group of the site/web wherever this web-part
will be added (in the same site-collection), so it will take the context of the site wherever it is added.
For Eg: I have a site collection "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance" OR "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance/Microsoft" OR some other subsite. I have used SPContext.Current property to get the current context
, but no success :( .
I tried in SPSite: SPContext.Current.Site ; new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.URL) and many other combinations with SPSite.
in SPWeb : site.openweb()
But I'm always getting the URL as "http://<Server_name>/" and not the context where the web-part is added in the same site collection.
Vipul Jain

Hi Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply. I'm able to get the access of members group through API's. Just wanted to know about the context in SPSite & SPWeb. As you suggested , is there no need to use SPSite ?
using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web)
SPGroup membersGroup = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"];
SPUserCollection lstMembers = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"].Users;
foreach (SPUser member in lstMembers)
// add all the group users to the list
users.Add(member.Name);
It's not working

How to install sccm client on bulk collections using push installation

Unfortunately I did something and received the following description:-
How to know/reproduce the following scenario by installing sccm client on bulk collections in SCCM 2012R2?
"User ***** requested that the CCRs will be generated for collection “All Windows Client Systems (P0100015), The SMS Provider did not generate CCRs for all the system resources in this collection.
Possible cause: some system resources are not assigned to the current site, and you chose to insta
Il clients only on system resources that are
assigned to current site.
Another possible cause: Some system resources do not have Microsoft Windows NT operating system
or above installed.
Message ID: 30110"

Ok. Some of your clients are not covered under any site assignment boundary, hence you are getting that error. Would recommend you to select "Install the client from a specified site" and select the Primary site. If your boundary groups for content
are configured fine then the client will be installed from the appropriate site for each machine you are pushing the client to.

Adding new client but requires manual assign address onto metadata network

I need to setup 11 client xsan, I added each client to the Xsan one by one,
I have successful added 9 clients without any issue, but when I added my last 2 clients to the xsan, it found the IP address
of my last two clients, but in last step, it shows the error message:
Network configuration required the computer clientAN. It is required that you assign IP address on the metadat network (10.0.0.0/6).
Please kindly advice what should I do to be able to those two clients. Thanks.
In my metadata network: I use 10.0.0.0/16.
Should I use 192.168.200.0/24 ?
Here are my configuration:
1. Public IP in Port1 :
Client: 192.168 200. 1 - 192.168.200.11
MDC1: 192.168.200.100
MDC2: 192.168.200.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
2. Private IP in Port 2 (Xsan):
Client: 10.0.10.1 - 10.0.10.11
MDC1: 10.0.10.100
MDC2: 10.0.10.200
Subnet: 255.255.0.0

My last two client's private IP address was wrong as in 10.1.
It should be in 10.0. I am able to add all my 11 clients to the Xsan now.
However, what is the different between:
metadata network: 10.0.0.0/16
metadata network: 192.168.200.0/24

Client In Multiple Collections - Some have no maintenance windows

If a client is in several collections and a few have maintenance windows is it correct that any deployments targeted to a collection the client is a member of will only run within the earliest maintenance window available regardless of deadline?
So even if it is also in a collection with no MW the deployment to that collection won't run until the MW starts even if it is after the deadline?

Maintenance Windows are not relative to deployments in way and the collection a deployment is applicable to is irrelevant.
MWs they are applied to the clients within that collection. The client then uses all MWs applied to it to restrict the execution of all/any deployments assigned to it (although there are multiple MW types for the different deployment types so that
is of course considered). The collection that the MW or deployment was targeted at is not considered (and in fact not known to client at all).
Also, no MW equates to a 24x7x365 MW.

Jpub generated collections and SLOW RETRIEVAL

Oracle 8.1.6 EE
SQLJ/JDBC 8.1.7
I use jpub to generate oracle specific usertypes (i.e) -usertypes=oracle. All the classes generate fine and I can use them in my code. The problem is that when I try to use the getArray() or getElement() methods from the generated collection class, it is REALLY SLOW. On the order of two minutes to retrieve 30 records. Using a test harness in SQLPLUS the retrieval is fast. On the order of milliseconds.
I call a stored procedure that returns the array of objects.
The object looks like this ...
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE account_item AS OBJECT
id number,
name varchar2(200),
tag_id varchar2(50),
state varchar2(20),
zip varchar2(20),
primary_contact varchar2(200),
phone varchar2(20),
status varchar2(50),
broker varchar(200)
The collection type looks like ...
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE account_item_list AS TABLE OF account_item
Does anyone from the jdbc/sql group have any idea why this would be happening ??
Thanks.
Joe
null

Ad (1): No idea. Retrieving 9 records each with a nested table of 30 items is practically instantaneous. (Using 9.0.1 client and server and OCI.) Are you using thin or OCI JDBC? Maybe there is an issue connecting between an 8.1.7 client and a 8.1.6 server? (The 8.1.6 JPub runtime had bad performance. 8.1.7 is much improved and should be about equal with 9.0.1.)
Ad (2): With the SQL definitions of account_item and account_item_list and the following table in the scott/tiger schema:
create table accounts (id number, account account_item_list)
nested table account store as accounts_nested_table;
you can run JPublisher as follows:
jpub -user=scott/tiger -sql=account_item:AccountItem,account_item_list:AccountItemList
Then use the following program TestAccount.sqlj (can't resist SQLJ here):
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.sqlj.runtime.Oracle;
import sqlj.runtime.ResultSetIterator;
public class TestAccount
{ #sql public static iterator Iter (int id, AccountItemList account);
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException
{ Oracle.connect("jdbc:oracle:oci:@","scott","tiger");
Iter it;
#sql it = { select id, account from accounts };
while (it.next())
printList(it.id(), it.account().getArray());
it.close(); Oracle.close();
private static void printList(int id, AccountItem[] items) throws SQLException
{ System.out.print("List "+id+" [");
for (int i=0; i<items.length; i++)
{ System.out.print(items[i].getId());
if (i < items.length-1 ) System.out.print(",");
System.out.println("]");
Compile everything with:
sqlj *.java *.sqlj
And then run:
java TestAccount

Adding photos to an existing collection

I'm having such a hard time adding several photos at once to an existing collection. Not sure what I'm doing wrong as I am following the insturctions. First I select all the photos by clicking shift and the 1st photo, then I select the last photo. All photos I want to add are highlighted. But I can't drag all the photos at once. When I try to drag, the 1st photo is only selected. What is are the correct click, drag and drop key strokes to get it right? Dragging and dropping one photo at the time is just not feasible.

Monia,
I think what you're being caught with is that you have to drag and drop the image from the center of the thumbnail, and not from the gray border.

Large mp3 collection painfully slow to open in Mus...

I know my mp3 collection is relatively large (full 16gb class 6 micro sd card) so I expect a bit of lag but im finding access to my mp3's on my E72 frustratingly slow. For example opening my list of Artists isn't so bad but accessing an individual artists list of albums and then opening one of those albums to see the tracks is taking 10-15 seconds each at each step. This also applies when going back out from the list of tracks to the list of albums. Im happy with the music player in general but this one problem is driving me crazy. The only way I can get access music at an acceptable rate is by creating loads of playlists of songs I listen to most regularly but obviously this defeats the point a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve performance in this respect?

This too enfuriates me... amongst other slow response times from the phone in general.
Sometimes it lags on unlocking the phone, answering calls, opening messages can take up to 10-15 seconds... it is absolutely ridiculous.
I have also have a 16Gb card with 7Gb of music. I have two email accounts synchronising maybe once an hour. I have a feeling that this phone just isn't built well enough to handle what it claims it should be able to do.

Recommended practice for adding and deleting from a Collection

Are there any suggestions for updating a Collection in a OneToMany ( privateOwned ) Collection? Here is our use case:
1. Retrieve a Source object from the database
2. Remove 1 or more SourceLinks from the sourceLinks Set
3. Add 1 or more new SourceLinks to the sourceLinks Set
4. Update the Source object
The SourceLink object has isPrivateOwned(true).
Adding and Removing things from a Collection seems like a fairly common use case. Are there recommended ways of handeling the above case? I've tried doing the add/remove operation in one transaction as well as removing, then re-fetching, and then adding in separate transactions and haven't had any luck.
Here is the code an test case.
class Source
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "source",
fetch = FetchType.EAGER,
cascade = { CascadeType.ALL })
private Set<SourceLink> sourceLinks = new HashSet<SourceLink>();
class SourceLink
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(nullable = false)
private Source source;
//~ Unit Tests
@Test
public void testMultiUpdateSourceLink()
// typical set up.
SourceLink sourceLink = new SourceLink( "junit1", 48, "mp3" );
SourceLink sourceLink2 = new SourceLink( "junit2", 64, "mp3" );
Source mySource = new Source( "http://www.site.com", SourceType.RSS );
mySource.addSourceLink( sourceLink );
mySource.addSourceLink( sourceLink2 );
beginTransaction();
sourceDao.persist( mySource );
commitTransaction();
Long sourceId = mySource.getId();
Assert.assertEquals( 2, mySource.getSourceLinks().size() );
// fetching what we just added, then deleting something from the set
// with privateOwned this works.
beginTransaction();
Source fetched = sourceDao.find( sourceId );
fetched.deleteSourceLink( sourceLink );
sourceDao.update( fetched );
commitTransaction();
Assert.assertEquals( 1, fetched.getSourceLinks().size() );
// now fetch again, try to add a new SourceLink
// fails with an OptimisticLockException
beginTransaction();
Source updated = sourceDao.find( sourceId );
Assert.assertEquals( 1, updated.getSourceLinks().size() );
SourceLink sl = new SourceLink( "ryan", 64, "mp3" );
updated.addSourceLink( sl );
sourceDao.update( updated );
commitTransaction();
Assert.assertEquals( 2, updated.getSourceLinks().size() );
The sourceDao.update() method simply calls entityManager.merge(source). Is it required to flush the entityManager as well?

Smart collection very slow (performance)

I have a problem with the Smart Collection. They are very slow in 3.2
I did a little test and compared 2.7 with 3.2 with the same catalog.
In 2.7 catalog all the smart collections are very fast.
So I have the same catalog with the same smart collections. Often they take 5 - 10 seconds when clicked the first time.
Even a Smart collection yielding 2 images can take up to 5 - 10 seconds.
This is the Smart Collection
Name:              Testing
Match:             All
Field:               Filename
Expression:     contains
Value              ANH_20090331_4253.JPG,ANH_20090331_4254.JPG,
This should result in 2 image. The full names are given.
In LR 2.7 the results are there in a split of a second. In 3.2 the first time you click on it it takes 5 - 10 seconds. The processor goes to 50% all the time.
Even a normal collection (not smart collections) with 97 images takes more than 5 seconds when clicked. This is very slow.
The second time it is within a second. But clicking another "difficult smart collection" and returning, then again it takes 5 - 10 seconds.
For the record:
Lightroom version: 3.2 [692106]

Settings Folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Dick\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom

Smart collections are really slow for me also.
It takes well over two minutes to populate the collection's images counts when first starting lightroom. I have approx 80 smart collections, some quite complex, but even so, this seems very slow. Once the inital counts have populated, showing the images is reasonably fast.
The rest of LR is pretty fast, SC's are the only thing that bothers me.
Using LR 3.3RC, high end PC:
     Win7x64

11g bug(?)--AM client methods returning collections

Hi all,
I've got an application module with a method returning a collection of view rows, and I've exposed it on my client interface. The problem is that, in the data control palette, the method's return is just an untyped "element"--there's no declarative way of accessing the view row's data, that I can see.
I've tried setting the "Element Java Type" in the "Edit Client Interface" dialog (after generating a custom view row class and exposing accessors on a VR client interface), but that seems to have no effect. I've tried right-clicking on the "element" node in the DCP and selecting "Edit Definition," but that doesn't seem to do anything either (no editor appears). Is there a way to return a typed collection (or, even better, a ViewObject with all attributes pertaining thereto) from a service method and have valuable stuff appear in the DCP?

Couple of comments
- wrong forum, should go to: JDeveloper and OC4J 11g Technology Preview
- if the method returns rows, or ideally a VO, why can't this be done through a VO directly ?

OWB descign client 11.2.03 extremely slow

Hi all,
I got accustomed to OWB's memory problems in the interface since 10 years, it has never been fixed properly. The screen is frozen for minutes and nobody knows why. But since 10gR2 thinks improved and with 11gR2 you can work reasonably. But today I installed 11.2.03 patch and it's slower then ever. What can I do? I don't like ODI very much and prefer using OWB but you can see in the ODI studio a good example how a Java client interface can work as lightweight as we know it from Windows applications.
Is there a known problem with the actual OWB?
best regards
Thomas

Hi,
the solution was surprisingly: I dropped the newly created database (UTF8) and created a new one with the WE8MSWIN1252 character set. And now it works perfectly!
I didn't know that UTF8 is just for the "Big Boys". I tried it since my customers insist on UTF8. But they have some Unix with 64 Bit. That's too much for my poor Win7.

Adding servers in to device collection in sccm 2012

When I add a set of servers in to device collection some times some of the servers are failed to add in the collection. Is there any solution for adding the previously failed server again to the device collection successfully?

Right click on collection and go to properties check whether added server is listed there or not? If no try to add the device manually by clicking yellow * button - put in server name ...next next and next very straight forward process.
The first thing you need to do id update the collection after adding the server then only it may reflect.
What you meant by server get failed to add? Is there any particular error?

Adding songs and editing info is VERY slow on brand new mac

Hello, I have a brand new macbook computer. I'm trying to add songs to my iTunes library, which is mostly empty at this point. As I try to add songs to iTunes, they take quite a bit of time to get added into iTunes. If I try to edit their info (through Get Info), it takes forever for the information to go through. I have my preferences set to organize my music library folder. I noticed that only songs that are in my iTunes Library folder take a long time to get added (so, adding music that's in a random folder on the computer and isn't in my organized library folder gets added to iTunes very quickly, but if I'm adding music that's going to get organized in my library folder, it's very slow.)
I don't remember it being this slow on my older macbook. Any ideas as to why this is going so slow? It's clearly not a RAM or size problem, since this is a brand new macbook.

Hi JGG,
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I house my iTunes library on an external drive. I understand that, of course, anything hosted off of my computer would be slower than if it was on my laptop, but this still seems much slower than it was on my older computers (where I also used an external to host the music). Also, I mentioned earlier that if I added music to iTunes that was in a random folder on the external, it would show up instantly on the playlist; but if I added music that was within my iTunes library-folder on the external, it would upload very slowly. Even after it's on the iTunes playlist and "organized" within the Library-folder with the correct titles/folder names, just editing a song (for example, to change the year) would take a long time as well.
Edit: And, I just realized, there is a big delay when I try to click on a song to play. The little spinning color wheel pops up for a few seconds every single time I click to play a new song out of my playlist. I'm sure that NEVER happened in the past on my old macbook when I also used an external drive.
Thanks for your help!
