Consolidation Time in Version 9.3.3

Has anyone experienced substantially longer consolidation times in version 9.3.3 after moving from 9.3.1? Our daily consolidation has increased from 60min to 105min after putting in the new version. The only thing we changed from the prior month other than the version is locking of data. Would this impact consolidation significantly?
Thanks.

Locking the Entities in a scenario should reduce consolidation time as it would prevent any calculations from being performed on the locked items. Are you performing the same type of consolidation (Impact/All with data/All)? You could also review any scenarios which you may be impacting i.e. using hs.impactstatus.

Consolidation Time

All,
I need some assistance. Our HFM application has grown over the year but not drastically. We have added EST, BUD and ACT data but our consolidation is based on our LEGAL hierarchy and we have many Parent/Child relationships. We also have children that are shared as well as if you post something to a child at a base level, the hierarchy structure is set up to go through the whole tree structure to roll the information to the top of the house.
Our consolidation time has grown from one hour to approx 6 hours now... is this normal and if not what can I do to troubleshoot some basic things.
Also not the text version, but can someone truly explain the difference between Consolidate and Consolidate all with data and when should one be used?

There are many factors that could impact the consolidation time. Assuming your underlying IT infrastructure is good for HFM, metadata & rule are good place to start the performance tuning.
** Warning: think twice before really undergoing a performance tuning exercise. It could take you many good weeks in testing (calculation result/report impacts/...) and work back out why the author (if it is not you) do such setup the way he/she did. And expect debugging the original design along the way. **
You may first isolate which routine takes most of the time:
calculate() - Use "Force Calculate" on different value member
some improvement opportunity: use HFM's hierarchy rollup instead of HS.exp for add things up.
consolidate() - Use "Force Calculate Contribution" which also include calculate() for [Proportion] & [Elimination]
And observe HFM's consolidation progress bar to see "Calculating..." takes more time or "Consolidating..." takes more time. Logging custom rule message to a file to detail time consumed is your friend.
Of course, every setup differs and could be very unique. Just a little share of what I did before.

In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

How to load dynamically String into a VI using LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 7.0?

I would like to be able to traduce string into my application using import string method. I create an program with my VI to translate. When I use the import method, I get this error: the VI is locked. WHY ? because it works well in the edit mode but not using LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 7.0 .

Hello loup,
If you call dynamically a VI in your LabVIEW application you must add this VI when you build the .exe file.
To add this VI, go to the Tab "Source Files" when you build application and click on "Add Dynamic VI..." then chose the VI you call.
It should solve your problem.
In the attached file you can found an example of LV program that translate front panel.
Try to build exe file and add "Languages.vi" as dynamic VI and .txt files as "Support files".
I test it, it works.
I hope that this will help you.
Best Regards,

Media Consolidation time

It's time for some media consolidation.
I have a 13 part series shot on DV. I have a master Project with all bins and sequences, graphics etc. We have shot about a hundred reels so far (I anticipate at least another 20) I have 1.5tb of storage.
I'm about half way through and shooting is still going on.
I don't want to run out of storage space and am concious that I have lots of footage that hasn't made into the cuts that I need to get rid of.
It is a property restoration show that follows projects over as much as a year so I will need to use shots from the first day in the last programme etc so I can't simply use the media manager to chuck away media used in a sequence because I might have used it in another episode.
So how do I simply chuck away the shots that I haven't used?
I had the foresight to give each shot a real name in the clip name (RN23 exteriors) so tracking shots down is easier.
I'll be frank - the media manager has me stumped -I've read Larry Jordans guise, the FCP manual, a couple of other things I've seen and still I have zero confidence.
Any thoughts, anyone?
as ever - Muchos Gracias
Lex

I don't find there to be anything mysterious about Media Manager. It's consistently worthless.
<
You won't get anything but a hearty endorsement of that statement from me but, just to waste some bandwidth:
Posited: Media management is a fundamental operation of a competent NLE. Does this mean that FCP is fundamentally incompetent?
Evidence: The language used at the interface and the operating presentation of Apple's MM suggests it was created by non-Macintosh people who knew nothing about video for a non-video application and then (miserably) shoehorned into FCP.
We hear endless complaints about Media Manager.
We hear no positive things about it, none.
And yet Media Manager appears to function flawlessly at the big houses where FCP is the video workhorse. Why isn't there more and louder squealing from the major players in the business? Paranoia, but I think there IS another version of FCP.

Opening Project First Time from Version Control. RoboSource Node

Four writers have upgraded successfully. My fifth is having issues...
She has Serena Dimensions SCC installed as well (another source control product - used by Applications, not the authors or Infra.
Problem: When she is establishing the root path (and the Browse RoboSource Node window opens, but it does not populate, even after 20 minutes. Reboot did not work, neither did manually removing Serena Dimensions SCC. I have verified that she has a connection to the database (via RSC Explorer) and can see the project (as well as the RH7 version of the project). We have
These are the instructions... (screenshots not included). She's hanging up on
1.1    Using a New Project for the First Time
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The author must have local administrator rights on the machine. If the user has a privileged account, they must set up full local control of their work folder (specified in 1.1.2.8).
1.1.1    Install RoboHelp and RoboSource Control
1.    Download appropriate software packages, including all patches, from Adobe.
2.    Launch RoboHelp Installer. Select the following options for installation:
o   RoboHelp for HTML
o   RoboSource Control (Client)
o   CS4 Script Extender
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation of each component is separate and may take up to 30 minutes. You do not have to install RoboHelp for Word.
Only select the Client Install for RoboSource Control.
3.    Install all patches in the order specified by the vendor. Check with the technical communicator on which version is currently in use for patching.
1.1.2    Open the Project
1.    Launch RoboSource Control.
2.    Establish a database connection per section 3.3.1.
3.    Close RoboSource Control.
4.    Launch RoboHelp 8 for HTML.
5.    Click Open under Recent Projects under the main frame (do not use title bars).
6.    Click the Open Project from version control button (shown below).
7.    Make sure that RoboSource Control 3.1 is highlighted as the Version Control Provider and the checkbox for “Make this my default selection” is checked. Click OK.
8.    Configure the Source Control system as follows:
Connection: PROD
Root Path: Click the … button and navigate to the (project name) root in the database and click OK. This may take several minutes.
Connection Mode: Online
Get to Local Path: Click the … button and navigate to your Data folder. Select Make New Folder under Data and give the folder a unique name to help you identify the files as for the Support KB in RoboHelp.
9.    Click OK when you have configured source control. A copy of the database is now being downloaded to the path you specified. This may take up to 20 minutes.
You can verify that installation is proceeding either by watching your local path fill with files or keeping an eye on the CPU usage of the RSO3MiddleTierService and RoboHelpHTML files under Task Manager.
10. Once transfer is complete, highlight Tier1KB.xpj and click Open. It may take several minutes to open the project the first time. It is typical for the snippet file to check out the first time you open the project and the first time each day that you save all project files.
11. Once the project is open, set Version Control properties:
a.         Select Tools > Options.
b.         On the Version Control tab, select all options. This will prompt the user on each version control action they take.
12. Test a check out/check in to validate correct installation and source control operation.

It's the settings in miscproperties in the XPJ and it works in TFS just fine. I'ts as follows:

OTL Time card versions issue

Hi,
For a particular timecard.
The timesheet has 2 versions. The days has 2 versions, but the detail have 3. So the max version number on the timesheet is 2. The max version number on the DAYS is 2. But the max version number in the detail is 3.
My joins work as follows:
timesheet.time_building_block_id=<timecard id>
timeday.parent_building_block_id=timesheet.time_building_block_id and timeday.parent_building_block_ovn=timesheet.object_version_number and
timedetail.parent_building_block_id=timeday.time_building_block_id and
timedetail.parent_building_block_ovn=timeday.object_version_number
Because of this, I am reporting incorrect results.
A) Is this normal?
B) How should I handle this?

What happened to the consolidated inbox in version 24.5?

I have several email accounts. In versions prior to 24.5 there was a consolidated inbox, sent, trash, drafts, junk, archives. Below them were actual accounts. Now, each account is listed with it's own inbox, etc.
What happened to the consolidated inbox, etc.?

Where is the 'selection' time in version 7!!!

In 6.5 and previous version you could make a selection and do <ctl>J (for properties) go to 'time' and the length of your selection would be there.
I use this more then any other feature when producing movies.
Did we lose it with version 7 or am I just not seeing it?
Thanks!

Ronald, welcome to these discussions.
Older version of QT Pro showed "Selection Duration" and it's very useful.
M.I.A. in version 7. I've sent feedback since April and expected it back in each update.
Nope.

Firefox "Welcome" tab loads every time since Version 10 upgrade. How do you stop it from loading?

Ever since I upgraded to Version 10 the Firefox "Welcome" tab loads when I open Firefox along with my home page.

Check to make sure you didnt set the "Welcome" tab as a homepage.
*[http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the Homepage]
Select Default as the Homepage, restart Firefox as see if the "Welcome" tab loads still.
Also note, Firefox changes a setting in its preferences file to determine whether you've seen the "Firefox Updated" tab. If you are having problems with that file then Firefox will be unable to save this information and will show you the "Firefox Updated" tab each time you start it.
*To correct this, use the steps outlined in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved Preferences are not saved] article.

Quick Time later version

I need a later version of Quick Time for my Kodak Easyshare digital camera software. How do we get the later version?

I'm alittle worried about trying version 7. While reading information on that version it says it could cause problems. I just won't be able to download videos on my computer. It's a really nice camera but about 5-years old.

I run Firefox with at least twenty tabs open at the same time. Version 23 (and later versions) load the tabs MUCH more slowly (2 mins rather than 15 secs). HELP

I run Firefox with at least twenty tabs open at the same time. All versions of Firefox newer than version 22 ) load the tabs MUCH more slowly ( approx 2 mins rather than merely 15 secs). HELP!!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Also check your security software.
You can use the Network tab (the one at the right in the menu) in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) to check the server response (left-click an entry) see if that is the problem (reload via Ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache).

Can I restore just iCal from a previous Time Machine version ? I have lost all my calendar data trying to move to icloud

Hi There
I hope someone can help me. I have lots of calendars on my mac that I used to use for work and home. A friend suggested moving them to icloud to then sync them with my iphone as he does. It looked like a great option so we tried it. However when I set up icloud on ical - it perpetually came up with 'moving calendars to server account' and I couldn't do anything. It's been ten days - so we've just unchecked the icloud box for ical - and everything is now gone !
My question is twofold
1) Can I restore just iCal itself from Time Machine ?
2) What can I do to prevent this happening and successfully move over to icloud with my calendars ?
Thanks !!

Because of the horrible battery life with Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
I am unaware of any battery life problem with Mountain Lion. There are many problems with incompatible 3rd party software, but that is a different problem.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
Will the ML Time Machine be backwards compatiable with Lion?
No. 3rd party application may be fine. Most Apple applications and data will not work.
