Conforming and indexing.

All of a sudden, my project keeps indexing and conforming while I'm editing. Makes the process slow and un-editable. It was never this way before until this week. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thanks

Seems to be working better. Still some slownees with playback and "media pending,"

Conforming and Indexing Errors, Media Pending, Audio won't play in timeline

I'm working on a desktop PC which is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and Adobe Premiere Pro (version CS5.5). It's currently utilizing a second gen. 3.4Ghz i7 2600 processor, 16GB of 1600Mhz RAM, 64GB solid-state drive and a ASUS P8Z68-V Intel Z68 Motherboard with onboard audio (Realtek ALC892 chipset) and onboard video. My problem is this:
The conforming and indexing of all of my imported media never seems to finish regardless of how many times I reopen the project file and wait for it. On the lower right-hand portion of the screen, next to the conforming/indexing progress bar, is a little red "X". When clicked, it pops up with a list of errors that read: "An unexpected error occurred while performing a conform action on the following file...". As a result, my audio channels have no waveform and during playback there are no audible tones or levels. On some video clips there's just text that reads "Media Pending". This only appears to happen with project files that I saved on external hard drives, and I suspect it has something to do with the Media Cache Files folder and how Premiere Pro locates these conform/index files. I've also encountered this problem in CS3 and CS4.
I have a few questions:
1) How do I avoid error messages in regards to indexing and conforming
2) How do you know when indexing/conforming has completed itself? (there doesn't seem to be a progress log or a list of commands/executions)
3) Indexing and conforming appears to be an automatic process, but is there a way to do it manually?
4) What's the best way to setup your media cache files when you click EDIT > PREFERENCES > MEDIA?
5) If I have approximately 1 hour of footage, what's an average wait time for conforming/indexing? What about 5 hours of footage? 10?
6) Adobe recommends not editing until the conforming and indexing has completed itself-- how important is this?
7) Sometimes it appears as though the conforming and indexing has finished, but then I still have problems with playback. Do I have to reopen the project for it to continue with the conforming/indexing progress? I've already determined that the video file I'm working with is intact and free of any corruption.
I'm fine with having to wait for a project to conform and index, but it never seems to complete itself! Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Harm filled in pretty much all the salient details, but I'll do another pass here.
1) How do I avoid error messages in regards to indexing and conforming
Two parts here. One, conforming only happens for certain media files, ie the ones where performance is critical and we can't depend on extracting the audio fast enough for realtime playback. That's basically anything in an .mpeg wrapper, or AVCHD material. So if you edit XDCAM HD/EX or P2, or RED, or even AVIs or QT, those formats don't require audio conforming.
If you're stuck editing AVCHD or MPEG2, then it needs to conform. But, that being said, you shouldn't be getting errors in the first place. I think it's related to your external drives. More below...
2) How do you know when indexing/conforming has completed itself? (there doesn't seem to be a progress log or a list of commands/executions)
Nope, you have a progress status bar indicating which file it's working on. If there's an error, it shows up in the events panel.
3) Indexing and conforming appears to be an automatic process, but is there a way to do it manually?
No.
4) What's the best way to setup your media cache files when you click EDIT > PREFERENCES > MEDIA?
While some people like having the check box for having the conform files beside the media, I hate it. Yes, it means that if you move the project to a different system & reopen, it means that you potentially can avoid recreating CFA files, but I find the drive littering not worth it. I much prefer having setting the Media prefs to point to a specific media drive. Usually a raid, if available. Definitely not an external drive that you disconnect & walk away with. If you don't have a permanent raid on your system, then preferably a dedicated internal drive for media (think along the lines as your Photoshop 'scratch disk'). Failing that, leave it on your C: drive, although with a 64 Gig SSD, you probably don't have much room for transient temporaries.
5) If I have approximately 1 hour of footage, what's an average wait time for conforming/indexing? What about 5 hours of footage? 10?
Like Harm said. Totally dependant on the media container & the speed of your drive i/o. The conforming is iterating through the entire file & pulling audio data, so it's not CPU intensive, it's all i/o.
6) Adobe recommends not editing until the conforming and indexing has completed itself-- how important is this?
If you're trying to play/scrub while conforming, it's going to be pokey. Esp. if you're trying to access the file that's actively being conformd. As I just said, we're hitting the files for all the audio. The i/o is being saturated already, so unless you have a stellar raid, you don't have much headroom.
7) Sometimes it appears as though the conforming and indexing has finished, but then I still have problems with playback. Do I have to reopen the project for it to continue with the conforming/indexing progress? I've already determined that the video file I'm working with is intact and free of any corruption.
You should be good to go. Sounds like there's something else at play here.
Okay, back to what I think is wrong: you don't mention what kind of external drives you're using. You're making a bad assumption that blowing away conformed files & doing a reconform is buggy - I doubt it, as that's the same process that happened when you initially brought in the files. I've blown away my media cache folder multiple times and have never seen failures on reconform. So it's got to be one of two things: either a read error from the source when attempting to pull the audio, or a write error to the destination. Now I don't know where you currently are pointing the media cache directory, or what your source drive is, so I can only speculate.
My suggestion is to do some elimination. Copy one of the files that failed on you to your C drive, & target your media cache directory also to C:. Pick a new project, import your copied file, confirm that it conforms correctly & behaves. Then, try to use the same clip from your external drive, keeping the media cache to C:. If that's still good, then try targeting another (local/internal) drive as your media cache target; close/restart, then import the clip from C:, and then import the clip from your external drive. This troubleshooting should give us something.
PS, if you're trying to edit from external USB drives, good luck. I find it a major PITA that I avoid as much as possible. Firewire isn't much better. I know some people do it successfully, but I think it's a road fraught with peril. These devices are generally not designed for heavy duty I/O and a flaky connection or drive is nothing but pain.

Bug: Why does PP Conform and reconform same video clips over and over again?

Any time I click out of PP and then come back to the program from ANYWHERE (even the desktop), PP starts to conform my files.
For example, I have a very simple test project open with four 5-minute clips in it. All the files have done their "conforming." But I click outside of PP and then immediately click back inside and it starts conforming one or more of the files that it had already previously conformed. This happens every other time I click out of PP.
Shouldn't a file that has already been conformed need to go through that just one time in a project?
I'm thinking that my bug has something to do with this now since things go crazy slow while conforming. It has always done this with larger projects, but I thought it was clips that hadn't been conformed before. Now that I only have a few clips to keep my eye on, I see it is conforming and reconforming the same clips over and over again every time I come back to PP.
Here's a screencast video of the problem. You can see it reconforms the same files over and over again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFrXk4nTpwo

I'll describe what happens first, as it makes the explanations of the failure cases a little more clear.
PPro generates two potential sidecar files for audio - PEK and CFA files. The PEK file is simply a quick data pass of the audio data that allows the app to draw waveforms (ie it should be pretty quick) - the CFA files are required if the file source is either too slow to decode the audio in realtime (like some MPEG long GOP, for instance), or if there's a mismatch in the sample rate depth. The idea is that the conform files will match your sequence's audio bitrate settings so that the app can play & mix audio in realtime.
How does PPro track these additional files? Every file that is imported is stamped with XMP, which is how we handle metadata on source files. XMP creates a unique ID which the app uses as a lookup value when it wants to find the PEK & CFA files that it generated for a file. So, usually, if you have a project where certain clips constantly reconform, it has something to do with XMP. Why? Usually it's because XMP can't write to the file. So, every time you launch PPro and open the same project, the media file has no XMP data, so it tries to generate a new ID, so any old CFA/PEK files have an ID mismatch and the app thinks it needs to generate new ones.
Typical cases why XMP can't stamp files:
- the media file is read-only.
- the media's hard drive is read-only.
- the file itself is corrupted/malformed, and XMP takes the safe route & decides not to try to write any additional data to the file. (I've personally witnessed this occur with WAV files captured by a Tascam field recorder.)
- someone deleted the XMP files by hand (certain media types have it as a sidecar .XMP file instead of embedded). (Don't laugh - I recently encountered a case where people had instituted a server folder rule to delete all files on a network share that weren't .mpg. )
A workaround you can try:
There's a preference setting to turn off injecting XMP into your media. If that setting is in effect, PPro will not rely on the XMP ID for the CFA/PEK files.
One other note, if your problem is specific to MPEG files: it might be that PPro isn't able to index the file properly. If it can't index, it might be trying to re-index on each launch; audio conforming always triggers after indexing. So watch for it constantly indexing - if that's the case, all the XMP stuff I described above has nothing to do with the problem. It's a side effect of something in the MPEG stream that we're barfing on. If you do see it constantly re-indexing MPEG files, it would be really helpful to send in a sample so that we can examine the stream.

Cannot query using both conforming and cached query result

TopLink doesn't allow me to both use conforming and cached query result at the same time.
Conforming is certainly not a superset of the [cached query result] features.
Can you confirm that it's a limitation of TopLink?
Any know workaround to end-up with the same features as using both conforming and cached query result?
Conforming is about seeing modifications you do in the same transaction. As a bonus, if you query for one object and specify at least the id as criteria because TopLink will have to check in memory anyway it can avoid going to the database.
But if I do a query like "give me employees hired before now and after 30 days ago" it's about more than one objects and about finding existance so cached query result is needed to get acceptable performance in a complex application trying to avoid the same SQL generated over and over again.

Thats where the trace just ends? It doesnt look like there's any LIKE or filtering going on (with respect to the Oracle pieces anyway), apparently MSAccess simply requested the whole table.
What do you mean by 'hang' exactly? Are you sure it's just not taking a long time to complete? How long have you waited? How fast does it complete on the other environment?
ODBC tracing isnt likely to help much for that. SQLNet tracing would be better to see what is going on at a lower level. Specifically, what is going on at the network level? Is the client waiting for a packet to be returned from the database?
Is the database having a hard time processing the query, perhaps due to index/tuning issues?
Assuming that is indeed the query that is "hung", how much data does that return?
Are you able to reproduce the same behavior with that query and vbscript for example?

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
RH9.0.2.271
I'm using Webhelp

Hi there
When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
<meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Different b/w index rebuild and index rebuild online

hi..guys could u plz tel me difference between index rebuild and index rebuild online

There is no difference in both the commands. Both will rebuild the index structure from the scratch.But in the first case with only Rebuild, as long as the index, its temporary segment is not prepared and merged together, index is not available for the other users for use. The Online clause makes the index available for others even while being rebuild.
Rebuilding index online has the same concept of creating them online to some extent,

DB02 view is empty on Table and Index analyses DB2 9.7 after system copy

Dear All,
I did the Quality refresh by System copy export/import method. ECC6 on HP-UX DB29.7.
After Import Runstats status n Db02 for Table and Index analysis was empty and all value showing '-1'. Eventhough
a) all standard backgrnd job scheduled in sm36
b) Automatic runstats are enabled in db2 parameters
c) Reorgchk all scheduled periodically from db13 and already ran twice.
4) 'reorgchk update statistics on table all' was also ran on db2 level.
but Run stats staus in db02 was not getting updated. Its empty.
Please suggest.
Regards
Vinay

Hi Deepak,
Yes, that is possible (but only offline backup). But for the new features like reclaimable tablespace (to lower the high watermark)
it's better to export/import with systemcopy.
Also with systemcopy you can use index compression.
After backup and restore you can have also reclaimable tablespace, but you have to create new tablespaces
and then work with db6conv and online table move to move one tablespace online to the new one.
Best regards,
Joachim

Ceartion of User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES

Hi Experts,
I want to create User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.But while creating the UDF from User Defined Field-Management unable to find the table for it.Write now My Client are using SAP B1 2007 Ptach-08.Is there any way out to create user defined field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.
Plz help me out on this issue.
with regards,

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

Table files and Index files 2GB on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit

I'm new to Oracle and I've ran into the problem where my Table files and Index files are > 2GB. I have an Oracle instance running version 10.2.0.3.0. I have a number of tables file and index files that have a current files size of 1.99GB. My Oracle crashes about three times a week because of a "Write Fault/Failure. I've detemined that the RDBM is trying to write a index or table files > 2GB. When this occurs it crashes.
I've been reading the Oracle knowledge base that it suggest that there is a fix or release of Oracle 10g to resolve this problem. However, I've been unable to locate any fix or release to address my issue. Does such a fix or release exist? How do I address this issue? I'm from the world of MS SQL and IBM DB2 and we don't have this issue. I am running and NTFS files system. Could this be issue be related to an Windows Fix?
Surely Oracle can handel databases > 2GB.
Thanks in advance for any help.

After reading your response it appears that my real problem has to do with checking pointing. I've included below a copy of the error message:

Best practice for PK and indexes?

Dear All,
What is the best practice for making Primary Key and indexes? Should we keep them in the same tablespace as table or should we create a seperate tableapce for all indexes and Primary Key? Please note I am talking about a table that has 21milion rows at the moment and increasing 10k to 20k rows daily. This table is also heavily involved in daily reports and causing slow performance. Currently the complete table with all associated objects such as indexes and PK is stored in one seperate tablespace. If my way is right then please advise me how can I improve the performance of retrival or DML operation on this table?
Thanks in advance..
Zia Shareef

Well, thanks for valueable advices... I am using Oracle 8i and let me tell you exact problem...
My billing database has two major tables having almost 21 millions rows each... one has collection data and other one for invoices... many reports are showing the data with the joining of Customer + Collection + Invoices tables.
There are 5 common fields in between invoices(reading) and collection tables
YEAR, MONTH, AREA_CODE, CONS_CODE, BILL_TYPE(adtl)
My one of batch process has following update and it is VERY VERY SLOW:
UPDATE reading r
SET bamount (SELECT sum(camount)
FROM collection cl
WHERE r.ryear = cl.byear
AND r.rmonth = cl.bmonth
AND r.area_code = cl.area_code
AND r.cons_code = cl.cons_code
AND r.adtl = cl.adtl)
WHERE area_code = 1
tentatively area_code(1) is having 20,000 consumers
each consuemr may have 72 invoices and against these invoices it may have 200 rows in collection tables (system have provision to record partial payment against one invoice)
NOTE: Please note presently my process is based on cursors so the above query runs for one consumer at one time but just for giving an idea I have made it for whole area.
Mr. Yingkuan, can you please tell me how can I check that the table' statistics is not current and how can I make it current. Is it really effect performance?

QUESTION.
At one point I was on the phone with a member of the Adobe Technical Support Team.
They connect to my desktop (only) remotely. I am very cautious about this.
Could something have been inadvertently changed when they did this ?
They do need to connect through a PORT - yes ?
This is very frustrating and I am loosing days of work.
I want to get back to Web Development
I love Adobe products but this should not be such a huge obstacle.
When I called Technical support (after much troubleshooting individually and on this forum)
the fellow told me that the ONLY support FTP - not LOCALHOST.
This makes no sense. People develop 'locally' then put it ftp it in the production stage.
Again, I appreciate your assistance.

Missing Tables and Indexes greyed out in DBACOCKPIT

Hi All,
I use Solution Manager 7.01 with MS SQL Server 2008 DB.
I want to monitor with DBACOCKPIT a MS SQL Server 2005 DataBase of a SAP BPC 5.1.
I connected the DB but in DBACOCKPIT some functionality are greyed out.
I want to use in Diagnostics section the "MISSING TABLES AND INDEXES" function but this command is greyed out.
Is it possible to use this function?
Please, help me!
Regards,
Alessandro

Hi,
Gray color means that screen is disabled for any reason (authorization, SQL Server release, monitoring remote, etc).
I believe, those items cannot be monitored unless these limitations are sorted out.
Please refer to the Document "The SAP DBA Cockpit for Microsoft SQL Server" in SDN.
You can get the status about the restriction in the bottom of dbacockpit screen.
Thanks,
Jagan

Reading (and searching, use of TOC and index) Acrobat files offline

OK - I have tried several things in effort to read PDFs offline.
The 'tools' that allow me to access these files PDFReader Pro and GoDocs are incapable of doing searches, use TOC, and index.. It is basically a picture of a PDF. They also present it in the linear form where I need to actually scroll the 343 PAGES to get to the information I want to read mid-way into the document.
Is there a realistic tool that actually properly presents PDF files offline and allows it to be used as it was intended? OOPS - correction Safari cant display this right either.... never mind ....
Thanks

I removed an erroneous statement that safari can properly display PDFs - it can't provide search, index/toc accesses. Bogus!

On a possibly related note, see http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004258-263.html?tag=mncol;txt for a way to ADD stuff to the TOC. I'm just passing this along, I haven't tried it.
