Another "slow" EBS question

Hello experts.
Yesterday I received a call from frustrated user that theEBS system was "slow". After asking the usual questions -
when does the slowness become an issue (middle of day)
does it affect everyone (yes) and all modules (yes)
are there any specific screen errors (none)
I decided it must be a problem with the database. I then made the following checks:
processes on server
errors in alert log
files space and tablespace
queried v$session_longops (nothing obvious) and v$session
ran statspack: Top 5 Waits:
free buffer waits
db file sequential read
db file scattered read
buffer busy waits
CPU time
checked to see if any long running or errored cc requests - none
reviewed Apache and JServ logs and nothing to report
I spoke again to customer today who said that maybe there are users who, instead of querying the Reporting Database, are actually hitting the Production database directly with long running reporting queries.
How can I identify long running queries (each time I hit the v$session_longops view I could see nothing obviously expensive in terms of time).
How can I see which SQL statements are costing the database? (the end of this post is from the statspack, but Im not sure it can help - I need to know SID and SERIAL# of the query to find user, I think?)
In essense, I need to go to the client and say "this SQL is costing you" - but I am struggling how to do it.
Please help, if you can.
Thank,

Another slow speed question !

Hi all, trying to find out why such as slow speed. I live about 1/4 mile from the exchange. Have phoned BT 2 weeks ago who said an engineer will look in to it, but not heard anything as yet. So was trying to see if its a prob within the house. We only have the 1 socket in the house.
Thanks for any help or ideas .

Surprise surprise, yep on a fixed line 512. First guy i spoke to at sales said he hadn't heard of a half meg contract, then i said a FL 512 and he said "oh, i'll just have a look for you " came back and said he would transfer me to another sales dept who might be able to sort out a new contract. Next guy, when i told him the situation and the FL512 he said " yeah, thats exactally what you've got ". Sorted a new deal and hopefully should be getting 7.5mb next week. So i hope i wont be back here next week !
Thanks for your help

Another color management question

Hi folks,
Apologies for yet another color management question, but Im getting very confused and could do with some help. I use a Canon 10D and Canon 30D. Ive come to LightRoom from Pixmantec Raw Shooter.
As Ive gotten more serious about producing high quality images for both the web and as prints, I thought Id invest in the Colorvision Spyder2 calibration product. So my monitor is now calibrated (quite a difference from what I was seeing!) and I have a calibration profile applied.
My needs are pretty obvious I want my images to look the same wherever theyre viewed including exported files (such as JPEGs) whether this be on my monitor (in LightRoom, a web browser, Paint Shop Pro, whatever) and on a printer.
Perhaps Im getting confused because Im trying to compare what LightRoom does with what RawShooter does.
In RawShooter, when exporting from RAW to JPEG, I can specify the RGB Working Space Im using and then select my monitor profile. I think that what happens is that the export mechanism takes this profile into account and, low and behold, the JPEG looks fine when viewed in any web browser - the colours are exactly the same as in RawShooter. In Paint Shop Pro they look fine too unless I enable Color Management in which case (Im guessing) the monitor profile is, essentially, applied twice! But the upshot is I seem to get the results I want.
What I cant figure out is how I do this in LightRoom. I can make the same adjustments to the RAW image as I did in RawShooter, but there doesnt seem an option for me to select my profile on export to JPEG only the standard 3 color spaces. Anyway the result is a JPEG that looks somewhat different when viewed in a web browser, or Paint Shop Pro with Color Management turned off. However, if I turn Color Management on in Paint Shop Pro, then it looks fine. So Im assuming that my profile isnt accounted for when exporting JPEGs from LightRoom.
So any pointers or explanations would be really appreciated. I also acknowledge that this is my first foray into color management, and feel free to tell me to go and read some introductory article (link please!) and then come back with a sensible question if thats whats needed!
Thanks in advance.
- Pete

Lightroom color management.
a.) Monitor profile used: The profile set as the default in your operating system (e.g. Windows xp). (your monitor profile software usually does this when you calibrate/profile your monitor).
b.) Working space: ProPhotoRGB
c.) Export color space: You can choose one of the following sRGB; Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
There is no option (afaik) to change a.) or b.) the option you choose in c.) will affect how the exported image will be displayed in color managed applications or non-color managed applications.
Non-color managed applications are not able to display Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB correctly. I guess if you wish a consistent display of your images in color managed and non-color managed applications then the only common factor is sRGB and you should export your images in sRGB color space.
The benefits of the other expanded color spaces are in printing and you also would have to get this end of your color management correct. Printing profiles to match your printer and each paper being used etc.
Until you can get this all sorted out you will get better results from sRGB, this is also applicable when using most commercial printing services.

SAP EBS Question

Hi Gurus,
I am implementing SAP EBS did the config and tested out everything, is working fine. The problem is that the standard SAP EBS does not works for their business process for incoming payments and need you advice on the same:
When they receive money they have to allocate the money into different 4 different parts for example if they have received 10,000 dollars they would allocate it to Tax first then the residual amount say example 9000 will be applied to a different category of charges and whatever is left example 8000 will be applied to another category and in the end whatever is left will be applied to the main fees.
So my questions are:
1) How can EBS handle such a scenario?
2) Is there any enhancements available in EBS which could do this allocation?
Thanks
GM

HEllo,
Note 494777 shows all the enhancements for EBS.
The external transaction is also relevant to determine where the values are applied. Does your bank send the charges/taxes/etc in one line item with one transaction type or is it split in different items?
REgards,

Gaurav,
All transactions coming in the bank statement cannot be posted automatically. Having said that, SAP offers an opportunity for you to create your own Algorithms using user exit FEB00001. You can assign these enhancements created in user exits to specific BAI codes (or any external code, if you are not using BAI format) in the form of Algorithms starting with 901 and the same can be assigned to the BAI code in the step:Assign external transactions types to posting rules and select your user exit.
Also there are some useful OSS Notes - 124655 and 549277. Please refer them.

Another ZM charging question : ZM doesn't stop glowi

Hi,
sorry for another boring question about charging Zen Micro.
I usually charge my ZM over the AC-plug because the USB-charge is too slow. If I plug the ZM into the charger it starts with this "breathing" glow (you know what I mean ).
Does the micro suppose to stop "breathing" after 3-4 hours of charging ? Because my micro does it but then the led-light doesn*t simply go off... the continue glowing nut with the "normal" glow (not "breathing").
Is it bad for the micro if I let it plugged into the charger over night ans it glows for 7-8 hours (I know that it ist ok for the battery but how is ist for the leds ? ).
Thanks.
sorry for my bad english.

"You only need to worry about heat, which would reduce the life of the player. (Or if the glow is keeping you awake...) "
it actually is very bright in the night
"it happened to my micro once, just do what i did. Unplug it(it turns off the light), then plug it back(it turns on ur player automatically), then just turn it off. Never happened to me ever again(hope not jinxing it)"
thanks. i will try it.Message Edited by Baron on 07-7-2005 0:2 PM

Another external drive question

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've partitioned my WD 500 GB firewire 800 external drive into three partitions. My intention was to obtain a bootable backup in the first partition (100 GB) and have the other two as supplemental strorage for future use (200 GB and the remaining approx. 165 GB). After performing an immediate backup of the Macintosh HD into the first partition, I read that a "duplicate", not "backup" was required for boot purposes.
I'd really appreciate some suggestions here from those with more experience in these matters. My internal 500 GB HD has approximately 28 GB of used capacity currently (this will grow, of course, over time). Should I have created a partition for a bootable start up and "duplicated" the internal HD? Then, should I use a second partition for normal backups? What size should these partitions be configured to allow for maximum future storage, without pushing the limits on the backup/startup partitions? And finally, what are the steps to re-configure the external to achieve my desired intentions?
This is a lot of question, but I certainly appreciate the guidance provided me thus far in my early days of Mac enjoyment. Thanks.

Hello! Sounds like you have thought it out well. All you need now is to clone your main drive so it will be bootable. You can do that using CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or you can use the Apple Disk Utility you already have. A lot of people use SuperDuper and others swear by some of the others. Below are listed Kappy's steps to do it using the disk utility. I use several bootable backups just for peace of mind. I generally clone to one and then the other so if something happens during the cloning (such as a power outage) I'll still have a drive that works. I usually make a clone about once a month and then backup any important documents every day to a flash drive, cd/dvd, or another hard drive volume. Once you make a clone you should always boot from it to make sure it's booting ok. Sometimes a clone will fail to boot. I also HIGHLY recommend obtaining and using DISKWARRIOR. Diskwarrior is the "gold standard" for disk drive directory maintenance which is the leading cause of hard drive problems. Using DW about once a month or after any force shutdown, forced re-start, or power outage will head off most disk problems. Tom
Kappy's Steps to Produce a bootable clone
Prep external FW drive:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.

Another SLOW Lightroom Thread

Just another thread to document the major issues I'm having with Lightroom 4.
System: Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i7-720QM, 8 GB RAM 1333MHz, 500 GB HD, ATI Radeon 4670 1GB with Wacom Intuos 5
Working in the Develop module has been completely unacceptable and is costing me hours of editing time and frustrating, which means its costing me money. Everything from navigating between photos to adjusting slider bars seems to be laggy to put it lightly. After using the Adjustment Brush, making universal changes is taking forever! And if I got back to create an additional adjustment with the Adjustment Brush tool, it's almost not even worth it because it is so slow to respond. Similar to the slow downs after using the Adjustment Brush tool, any changes made after making any adjustments in the Lens Correction tab seem to be super sluggish as well. Oh top of it all, my computer is running extremely hot when running Lightroom, which ever occured in past versions!
I've tried several suggestions that I've seen in forums, such as creating a fresh Catalog and importing the files directly into that new Catalog, hiding the Histogram to free up resources, reducing the size of the Catalog to just the working set I'm currently working on... I've now installed the 4.1 RC and do seem to see some increase in response with the sliders within the develop module, but once I start using the Adjustment Brush and Lens Correction, it seems to be back to it's sluggish self. And after editing a few photos, the entire program is crawling.
I think it's great that Adobe has such a strong following that people seem to be so understanding and patient about these issues, but find it unacceptable that such an unpolished release was issued to the public. If the issues are eventually remedied I will be fully on board with Lightroom, once again, because I do think that the revamped develop module has been a major improvement for editing and workflow, but all those improvements are pretty useless when I'm losing so many hours battling with performance issues.

No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

Distributed FICO and HR/PY and EBS Questions

Hi experts -
Changing our landscape from a single integrated system to a distributed HR/PY and FICO environment (I.e. 2 different instances). In the distributed architecture I understand the Payroll Check (tcode RFFOUS_C) print program still runs in the HR/PY instance and the check register is also updated in the HR/PY instance. However, the GL posting that include open item managed bank clearing account(s) for payroll checks is updated only in the FICO instance (via ALE) by the Posting to accounting process.
Can anyone tell me how and where the EBS should be run to clear the payroll checks and the GL payroll check clearing open item account? Again, the payroll checks will be in the check register in the HR/PY system but the GL payroll check clearing open item account will be in FICO instance.
Anyone out there have experience with this scenario?
Thanks!

Have you worked specifically with a distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture? Or, are you answering this question based on your understanding of the payment process from FI? If you have not worked hands-on with the distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture I do not think you understand the issue.
In the distributed HR/PY architecture the payroll checks are created in the HR/PY instance. The creation of the GL entry for the payroll check bank clearing account is created by an entirely separate process - the PY GL Posting run and the distributed model posts the GL to the FICO instance. Therefore, the check register is in the HR/PY instance and GL payroll check bank clearing account in in FICO.

Another check box question

For some reason all my songs have become unchecked. I don't know why. Is there an easy way to recheck them all. Rather than having to click in every box? It seems that because the aren't checked Genius will not recognize them. They were all working until today.
Thanks in advance

To answer your question. It depends on if you had <iTunes/Preferences/Advanced/Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library> checked. If the files were copied then you have duplicates and the files on the desktop can be deleted. If the files were not copied then the files on the desktop ARE your music files.

Yet another Try Catch question. Iterating through a ForEach loop

Confused on error handling in a Powershell ForEach loop. I’m looping through a list of registry keys, attempting
to open each one. If it succeeds, I do a bunch of stuff. If it fails, I want to skip to the next iteration.
If I was doing It in VBScript I’d do this:
For Each Thing In colThings
Open Thing
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
“oops”
Else
Do stuff
Do stuff
Do stuff
End If
Next
This is what I came up with in PowerShell. It seems to work, but just doesn’t seem powershell-ish. There must be a better way to use the catch output than just creating a $return variable and assigning it success or fail?
ForEach ($subKeyName in $subKeyNames)
try{$subKey = $baseKey.OpenSubKey("$subKeyName")}
catch{$return = "error" }
If($return -eq "error" )
“Oops”
Else
Do stuff
Do stuff
Do Stuff

I totally get what you're saying about formatting. I don't' have any habits yet, since I've only been working in Powershell since... well, what time is it now?
Unfortunately, It Has Been Decreed that we are no longer to use VBScript for any engineering solutions at work, so my 15 years experience in it now needs to be transitioned over asap. I don't have the luxury of crawling before I run. I'm trying not to be
frustrated, but it's like an English major waking up one day and being told "You must now speak French exclusively. Here's a book."
The Do Stuff example of my ForEach loop is about 50 lines of code involving matching values in subkeys of this registry key with another and collecting output. I tried wrapping the whole thing in a try section based on some examples, but it seemed odd, that's
why I'm asking. I'm used to tightly focused error handling at the point where an error may occur.
In this example I'm only interested in whether or not I can open the subkey (it exists, but I may not have permission). If I can't, there's no point in continuing with this iteration of the loop, I want to skip to the next one. So why include all the "Do
Stuff" in the the try section? From a readability viewpoint, it doesn't seem helpful.
Also, there may be more error handling deeper in the code. If I then put that in a try/catch, and then something else inside that, now I have nested try/catches mixed in with nested if/elses, all wrapped in a For loop.
Again, I can see how it works logically, but for readability not so much, and having all these braces 50 lines apart to match up is giving me eye strain :).
It sounds like David is agreeing with jrv, that putting the entire ForEach loop code into a try/catch is the conventional way to do it. I guess it makes as much sense as putting it all in an If-else-Endif, and I just need to adjust my paradigm.
But if not, my specific question was more along the lines of, is there a built in way to tell that the catch section has been executed, rather than me using it to populate an arbitrary variable and then read it? In VBScript, you execute something, and the
next line, you check the Err.number. I wasn't sure if you could do that with a try/catch.

Another slow Apple TV thread

I know this has been raised before but im largely out of ideas.
I have an ATV (3rd gen) - it's up-to-date software wise. I am using the ATV plugged into the net via ethernet.
I have a 100mb connection (photo attached) - DNS servers are set to my isp's preferred settings...
I have reset/restored...without any difference.
Key question.
Why the **** is it so SLOW to download tv shows? Seriously, it takes 15-20 minutes to buffer at times. While at other times it downloads and buffers within 30 seconds. Is there something wrong with Apple servers?
In the words of an ex-girlfriend, "It's not me - it's you".
Please fix.

Hi, thanks for replying.
In relation to your questions:
diesel vdub wrote:
Is the slowness specific to iTunes downloads? Netflix? YouTube? or all streaming content?
Has the ATV been reset or restarted?
Has the router been power cycled?
Has the ethernet cable been replaced?
Has a different port on the router been tried?
1) Just itunes downloads. Others (we don't have Netflix in Aus...well, leagally anyway) work fine.
2) Yes - see above email
3) Yes - but im not sure what the point of that would be given the ATV isnt working on the router as it's through an ethernet cable.
4) Yes and tested - hence the speed test to show the slowness isn't from the cable but from the connection to itunes servers.
5) No, Ill give that a shot but im not optimistic.

Another canvas related question

Here is my scenario:
I have content canvas (say CC), a stacked canvas (SC) and a tab canvas (TC). On the CC, I have the TC always showing in the bottom half. In the upper half of the CC, I have some text items, list items etc always showing.
When the user selects certain options of the drop down lists in the CC and/or TC, I want to display the stacked canvas(SC) while still displaying the TC in the bottom half of the CC. SC has only a text item and an ok button on it. This text field is to capture the comments of the user. What I am trying to accomplish is to capture the user comments from the SC, assign it to a data block item when the user clicks on the 'ok' button on the SC and then hide the SC. Since there are multiple drop down list items in the SC and TC, I plan to re-use the same SC to capture the comments. Don't know if this is a good way to do it and if it can be accomplised or not. Any suggestions/ideas are appreciated.
The issue that I am facing is when I display the SC upon changing a list item in the CC, then the TC
disappears.Neither does the SC appear with the text box and the ok button on it.
1. I am using the show_view to display the SC.
2. For the SC properties itself, I set the
Raise on entry =NO, '
visible = 'YES'
3. All the canvases share the same WINDOW
4. My canvases are ordered in the following order
SC
CC
TC
5. Using forms 6i.
Pardon my ignorance about the workings of the canvases (I always struggled to understand how the various canvases work). Also, these questions were probably asked many times before....but figured might re-ask. Pls. excuse my laziness in this regard.
Questions:
1. Can I have all the 3 canvases showing at a same point in time? (does reports allow that?)
2. Has any one implemented what I am trying to accomplish? If yes, how did you do it?

If the "TC" disappears, maybe the SC overlaps it.
If the SC isn't displayed, try using a GO_ITEM('THE_TEXT_ITEM'); instead of using SHOW_VIEW.
Another option might be:
Create a second form and put the "comment-field" on a canvas in that form. In the WHEN-LIST-CHANGED-trigger where you actually show the SC, do a CALL_FORM to that new form to capture the users comment and proceed when the called form is ended.
