Applications "Hung" for long time

I'm spending massive amounts of time these days watching the rainbow wheel turning. According to the Activity Monitor, the application I am working in is "HUNG", and using over 70% cpu capacity. It happens mainly in Safari, but that's what I use most. It also happens in Word, Quicken, Entourage and others.
This coincidently (????) started after Apple replaced my logic board because of faulty capacitors.
Any hints?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
It really could be any number of things, but let's try. First, how much RAM do you have? Less than 512MB and you do not have enough.
How much free space on your hard drive? OS X likes to have between 10-15% free to allow for maintenance and having a disk that is nearly filled can cause issues.
Safari is a CPU and memory hog which is why I no longer use it. I prefer Camino instead. When you have this problem, open up your activity monitor and see howmuch RAM is in use and what program is demanding the most CPU cycles.
Try running a program like Cocktail and run all the scripts.
Is there a reason that you haven't updated to 10.4.6?
There are other things to try, but those are a few of the easiest that can make a difference. Take a look at Dr. Smoke's FAQ on the SBBOD - Spinning Beach Ball of Death - and see if any of his suggestions make a difference.
Be sure to post back here with any results or further questions.

Application hang for long time (unable to load)

hi and a very good day to all..
i am a new user of J2ME and i am currently using Sun Wireless Toolkit to run a sample program. But, there are some error occur when i open it from the Open Project in Sun Wireless Toolkit. Once i click the launch button on the emulator, it will show the graphic but with a statement 'Please Wait'. it seems like my application is going happen to hang for quite a long time (i even can't open it at all). it happen every time i open my project and i unable to load my program successfully. i want 2 ask, is it because of teh coding? or my pc? or the Sun Wireless Toolkit itself? i never change/edit the coding, since this the sample application of Mobile Compass i downloading from the internet.
there are bundle of code in my application (single application)..but the error 'Please Wait' basically come from 1 of the coding. i'll show it below:
**THE CODE**
package org.qcontinuum.compass;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import java.util.*;
abstract public class Progress extends Form implements CommandListener, Runnable {
private Displayable mParent;
private Command mCancelCommand;
private Thread mThread;
// private Timer mTimer;
public Progress(String title, Displayable parent) {
super(title);
mParent = parent;
append(new StringItem(null, "Please wait...\n"));
addCommand(mCancelCommand = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 0));
setCommandListener(this);
mThread = new Thread(this);
public void start() {
mThread.start();
abstract public void run();
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
if (c == mCancelCommand) {
Compass.display(mParent);
p/s: is it the above error related to java.lang.NullPointerException? this is because, with unexpected situation, suddenly the compass program able to download successfully (only sometime), but still it give some error like below, and i still can select the Time Zone for my destination chosen from the given map.

Hi,
Do you have variable replaced by another query? If that is case, you will get performance issue, when the prequery is runnig when call var screen.
Do you have variable replaced by authorization? If that is case, for the user will complicated authroization, it will take some time to fill it.
In general, when the variable screen is calling, have you check in sm66, what is the work process doing? In RSRT->run this query with statistics, which part takes most time?

Deploying application takes a long time

Deploying en exploded EAR takes unually long time and thread
dumps and directory listings show that WebLogic
1. jars whole app in it's internal folder
2. unjars ear it just created back to the exploded form
Dimitri

Hi James,
Thank You for your suggestion. I have some doubts.
1) You suggested to revert back to old parameter and restart jDEV. What is the parameter i need to revert? I have only changed the max,min and perm size in opmn.xml because I keep getting perm gen error quite often. Did you mean those parameters ?
2)Restarting jDev will solve the issue of longer deployment time for applications. But when I restart the SOA itself, it fails to start.I get the Time out error. On removing the application which took longer time to deploy from server.xml, SOA starts without error. No other changes have been made. So the question is why is the application which is successfully deployed from jdeveloper like many other applications stopping the SOA to start.?
3)Or is the load during SOA startup is high, which results in it failing to start? If so how can I overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Ananth

Custom web parts in SharePoint 2013 becomes inactive when the session is idle for long time.

Hi,
We have a search center site with custom web parts and custom master pages. When the session is inactive for long time all the custom web parts in the page doesn't work, unless we close the browser and open it. Where as this is not the case with the
OOB web parts. We are not able to identify the root cause as it works with OOB web parts and not the custom web parts.We were able to find that by increasing the session timeout of the web application we can avoid this issue.We do not want to increase the
session timeout as the OOB web part works perfectly even when the user session is idle for long time.Is there any other alternative where we can acheive the same for custom web parts when the session is idle for long time?
Thanks,
Saranya

Hi Saranya,
According to your descirption, my understanding is that when the session is long time idle ,then custom web part will not work.
I suggest you check if you have enable the session in the Page Level in the web.config. By default SharePoint disable the session state.
In the web.config, you will see <page enableSessionState> tag. You can modify like below and test if it works.
<pages enableSessionState=”true” ….. />
Here is a detailed thread for your reference:

Application Load Take Long time

Hii all,
i has developed and adf application and oracle 9i database and deployed on a weblogic 10.3.1 using JDBC Data Source an thin Oracle Driver for service connection and then when i run the application from the intranet in the other far building the application loading takes long time and then when loaded it works good so why this long time in loading and how i can fix it or how i can trace it and know where's the problem,, hope anyone can help me because the user wait for 5 minutes to load the application and he got bored my boss will kill me..
Regards

Ahmed,
Have you done any detective work yourself to find out where the long load time is coming from? Are you testing this over a slow network link? If so, have a look at section A9 [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/ap_config.htm#ADFUI10059]of this part of the documentation to see how you can perhaps reduce the initial load time.
If it's not the network, then you can give us some more information about where the long load times are.

Will SAP remain as market leader for long time?

Hi
I have just started Masters of Business ERP SAP at victoria University. But my background is
accounting and have intermediate knowledge of software industry . From my understanding
there is always something new replacing existing market in software industry. I just want to
know about the sustainability of SAP career . will it sustain in the market for long time?
Regards
Shafiq

Hello, I can assure you that you will not suffer from hunger or anything like that... there are thousands of companies running SAP accross the globe. And if, and that will not happen, somebody would threaten SAP, understand how much money depends on SAP systems. It would take years to get rid of the vendor (SAP) lock-in for all those companies.
Ok, that was the practical approach. On the other hand I do believe in quality and sustainability of what we do here and feel no fear about my future. Even if some kind of a problem appear, SAP would teach you so much about business processes and how companies are runned, that you could immediately switch to some kind of management/ analyst job. t least that is how I feel about it.
Hope that helps a little, I wanted to offer something in return for your answer to my question earlier,
maybe you would like to talk some more one day?
Cheers Otto

Report running for long time & performance tuning

Hi All,
(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
please help me.....
Thanks
Kumar

(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
The first step is to see if the problem lies in the query on the data source or in webi itself. Depending on the data source there are different ways to extract the query and try to run it against the database. Which source does your report uses?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
I would recommend to start by reading the administrator's guide. There is a section about how to improve performance.

ABAP process job ( BI_PROCESS_ABAP ) in process chain running for long time

Dear Experts,
We have an ABAP process job BI_PROCESS_ABAP in a process chain. This job is running for a very long time than previous run time.
Recently we had an ORACLE database upgrade from 9.2 to 10g.
From the very next day , we are having this problem.
And also previously this process-chain was under control of BASIS guys . they were using a tool called CRONACLE to schedule it. At the time of upgrade this tool was crashed and they asked us to schedule it in BW system instead.
Underlying program is using two custom tables.
one is having both primary & secondary indexes but the other table is having only primary index.
I am not sure whether we have secondary indexes on other table prior to upgrade or not.
Where must be the problem?...
At the time of upgrade BASIS has re-organized the table space along with database upgrade.
please help me...
Regards,
SRIKANTH

Please ask yr basis consultant to check the system parms.
Below i have listed down SAP recommneded system parms .
abap/heap_area_total 4000000000
abap/heap_area_dia 2000000000
abap/heap_area_nondia 2000000000
Also check in SM37 if any other jobs are running for long time, peventing the your job running.
Check the SM12 for locks or SM58

The workflow works fine in my developement. But in quality its not moving to the next step. i comparted the wait step in quality and developement. In developement wait step in outcomes tab green light is glowing in Actvie mode. but in quality green light is visible but in blured vision. even i have checked the configuration in swu3 in development and quality.

Hi All,
CPACache refresh worked for one day and the same problem repeated again next day, but need to have parmanent fix and should know the root cause of the problem so that the problem can not be repeated again.
Is there any solution other than CPACache refresh and JDBC adapter stop and start to fix the issue.
And also found some entries in SM12 lock entry list during the same schedule time when the messages was triggered and remains for long time. Let me know whether we can delete those locks ?
user PIAFUSER
Lock mode E
and table SXMSPMAST
with lock argument ......
Any suggestions and tips help us alot in fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance

Workflow trf executing for longer time

Hi All,
Workflow trfc executing for longer time in transaction SM58. Why will this happen ? Is there any resolution available ? Please advise on this issue. Below are the details :
Caller: WF-BATCH
Function Module: SWW_WI_EXECUTE_INTERNAL_RFC
Status Text: Transaction Executing
Program: SAPMSSY1
Kind Regards
Shiva

Hi,
Check if WF-BATCH user is not locked or the pwd changed. The same as the process started, see the event trace if you are triggering any wflow from this. And CLick on the event and see the "REceiver Data" and "Trace Data" if any errors are there.
Sometimes, if this user got locked for some reason, it results in issues like you mentioned.
Hope this helps

How to stop process chain if it yellow for long time

hello all,
I see that my process chain is running for long time and is yellow for more than last 24 hours now. I can see where the chain is stuck(not going ahead).
What do we normally do in such scenarios?
Also one more question I have is about delete PSA request process variant. Can i use the same variant in two different process chains, is yes than do I have to include the name of the PSA tables that are in both the process chains. When the variant runs in 1st chain does it delete the PSA tables from the second chain as well..(i hope i made this clear)
Thanks in advance

Once you have done with your init load manually. Then in case it was just the start of the process in ur Process Chain then first remove the chain from schedule and then go to the start process of the process chain and save the setting for immediate, uncheck the periodic box and save and then come out of the screen and then execute and activate the chain.
Note:
1. Before changing the setting in the start process make a note of the start time and also its periodic value.
2. Once the chain is completed then change the setting in the start process back to previous start time and periodic value.
3. Dont forget to save and activate the chain.

Rohini
