CSA 5.1 causes significal slow down on windows 2000 server

We have recently installed CSA 5.1 and agents on a bunch of windows servers. All the shims and enabled and only the default policy agents for windows is enabled.
Applications which does FTP and moves files from one folder to another etc are taking significal slow down.
Processes that used to complete 3 minutes are now taking more than 30 minutes to complete. All the polcies and rules are in test mode.
Should we fine tune the rules first on disable couple of shims first to see what is the cause of this slow down. If we turn off CSA, processes run as normal.

One thing you can try is removing the host from all groups. It will still be a member of the group.
If that doesn't fix performance, remove all policies from the group (and attach them to another group to keep the rules in effect for other hosts) and see if that helps.
This should tell you if it's the agent and\or shim causing the problem, or if a rule is doing it.
Don't forget to move the policies back to the group when you are done.

Help! Flashvars causing browser slow down

Hi All,
I have a very simple .swf file that is causing some kind of
slow down or memory leak. It is effecting the browser its self as
moving the mouse cursor around or selecting text becomes sluggish.
Within the .swf, the stage is only 1px by 1px. It is meant to
fit the size of the html element its embedded in. Once the .swf
loads it adjusts its stage to the new dimensions. It then draws a
rectangle movie clip to fit the new size.
Once the rectangle is drawn the .swf then draws 50 circles of
varying size to animate as a snow effect. I wasn't having any slow
down until I added this snow effect in. However let me explain in
the next paragraph that the snow is not the real culprit.
The rectangles fill, stroke, and corner radius. Can all be
set by variables sent to the swf. by the Flashvars attribute of
object, and embed. Once they are retrieved by the .swf they are
processed by a conditional statement I wrote. If one of the
attributes isn't set they are set to a default. The code is
attached below.
Heres how I know the snow effect isn't the culprit. If I
don't pass the .swf any Flashvars attribute and just let it use the
defaults for styleObj in the .swf. The effect runs fine. If I do
try to pass it Flashvars the slow down occurs. Is there an issue
with my conditional statements?
I have tried embedding using the SwfObject.js Class and using
standard HTML tags. Both display the same issue if Flashvars are
passed there's a slowdown if not its fine.
If anyone could help with this, or shoot me some links with
info I would be eternally grateful. I can also provide the source
files if you want to take a look at it.
I have uploaded a test page so you can see the problem in
http://www.callmekev.com/client/test/

Hey kglad,
Thanks for all your help. I had the issue posted on 2 other
forums and you are the only response I have got. I was unaware of
the data-type functions you had listed. After some further testing
I found that they had the same effect as using the - operator like
I had been doing.
I did find a solution however. I took the variables as they
were coming in from the Flashvars attribute and saved them in new
flash only variables as numbers. Then I assigned the Flashvars
variables a value of null. I think the .swf was continully going
back to the html variables causing the slow down and this gave it
its on set to look at.
You can check the new
test its a lot smoother.

IMQ Broker Not Shutting Down on Win 2000 Server Re-boot

I am using a Windows 2000 Server and have found that during a re-boot the Broker Service (3.5 SP1) is not shutting down completely. The following lines are missing from the log entry created when restarting the server: -
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1093]: Shutdown requested by broker administrator
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1047]: Shutting down broker...
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1077]: Broadcast good-bye to all connections ...
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1078]: Flushing good-bye messages ...
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1063]: Done
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1048]: Shutdown of broker complete.
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:55 BST] [B1066]: Closing: [email protected]:1108->admin:1074. Count=0
[17/Aug/2004:12:55:58 BST].
If the Broker service is manually stopped through Services the entries are placed into the log file.
The problem being created is the broker lock file is not cleared when service is not shutdown completely and when the server is restarted the broker service is then unable to launch as it believes an instance of the service is already running. When the lock file is deleted the broker service can be started.
Has anyone experienced this problem before and found a solution?
If any further information is required in this log then please update with required details.
Many thanks in advance.
Dave.

Thanks Joe,
Please read to the end. Thanks to your suggestions I believe I have found the cause of the IMQ Broker problems I was experiencing.
As you suggested by adding the line: -
imq.hostname=257s-bs1a
to the end of the IMQ config.properties file this seems to have worked around the problem shutting down and restarting the IMQ Broker.
Following numerous server restarts the IMQ Broker Service had restarted with Windows successfully. However, I was unable to successfully access the Data Distribution Page.
Further investigation showed the server was using a leased IP address and not static.
I removed the 'imq.hostname' line added earlier and changed the server IP address to static. When the server was rebooted I found the IMQ Service had started successfully. On several successive re-boots the IMQ Broker service restarted with Windows correctly.
To check if this was related to having a dynamic IP address of the server was changed back to Dynamic. Following the first re-boot of the server IMQ had started successfully. On the second re-boot of the server with Dynamic IP the IMQ Broker service did not restart. Following additional re-boots with a dynamic IP address the IMQ Broker service did not restart.
With the IP address changed back to static the server was re-booted. Following the first re-boot the IMQ Broker service had not restarted. Following subsequent re-boots with a static IP address the IMQ Broker service did restart.
Thank you Joe for pointing me in the correct direction.
Regards,
Dave.

OAS 4.0.8.1 : Windows 2000 Server : wrksf going down!!

Hi,
We have been facing this problem for quite some time now.
Please let me know, if Oracle has come out with a fix on this.
I found a fix for the Linux vesion of OAS 4.0.8.1, but could not find one for Windows.
How do I go about solving the following problem, which occurs time and again :
03-02-2001 00:44:36 778958 sandeep `Broker` 1892 1 0x10fff `OWS-04764: Unable to bring up cartridge server, type OASEJB, at sandeep. `
TIA
Sandeep

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.I was out of town!!
We am using OAS 4.0.8.1 on Windows 2000 Server.Although it is not Windows 2000 Certified, I thought, it might run, because Windows 2000 is Win NT extension.
The Oracle 8.1.5 DB , which is Certified for Windows NT, is running properly on our Windows 2000 installation
As regards RAM, we are running OAS on a ~320 (64 + 256)MB RAM system!
Also, noticed, when I run the client, I get InsufficientResourceException,along with the wkrsf going down in the OAS
Any help on this would be appreciated!!
TIA,
Sandeep
PS : Please let me know, if the following configuration might solve the problem :
Windows 2000 Server
OAS 4.0.8.2
Oracle (8.1.5) DB

Upgrade to Leopard causing internet slow down?

I just upgraded my G5 PowerMac from Tiger to Leopard. The Mac is plugged via ethernet directly into a NetGear router so I can also access internet wirelessly from my MacBookPro. Since the OS upgrade on my tower, I've noticed marked slow down in internet connectivity: web pages load really slowly and Mail takes forever to pull in my mail. Could Leopard be the culprit? Have run a speed test and results show that I'm getting what I'm paying for in terms of up/download speed, but wait times are ridiculous! Help!

If you look really carefully, you see me alternately scratching my head and hitting it against the wall . I'm almost clueless. I'm going to assume that your Internet access is via WiFi, right? If so, the only thing I can come up with is that when you mirror the display there's some kind of electrical interference that gets thrown up. (And I'll cheerfully admit that I could easily be totally wrong!) If I'm correct though, it is possible that switching your WiFi channel, selecting Internet robustness in the WiFi settings, or moving your notebook as far away from the display as possible might work.

Large Photoshop file has caused system slow down.

I have Dual 2.0Ghz G5 which has worked very well since I got it last Spring. Just recently however I've had some slow downs. There are a number of things that I've noticed such as more frequent spinning beachball and font redraw issues.
These issued started since I was working one a massive Photoshop file. I was doing work on a Trade Show booth which eventually resulted in a 10Gb Photoshop file! I realized I probably should have taken steps to reduce the size of the file but that's neither here nor there. Despite the size of the file I was still quite impressed with the performance of my machine. That said, I've found the general performance of the machine since working on this file to be diminished.
I've done all of the typical maintenace items such as repairing disk and permissions via Disk Utility, clearing caches and running Maintenance scripts using Cache Out X, MacJanitor and Tiger Cache Cleaner, but still the performance of my machine has taken a hit.
It's only since this has happened that I've started launching Activity Monitor to try and determine if there is something obvious going on which is hogging resources or not. This for me has raised questions of what is "Normal" for some common tasks. Presently kernal_task is using under 5% of my CPU with 50 threads running which seems like a reasonable number. But it is also using almost 110Mb of RAM and 1.35Gb of Virtual Memory. Both of those numbers seem quite high to me, but I admit that I never looked at them before so I have no gage as to whether these numbers can be considered normal or not.
By all measures the machine still performs pretty good, but as I use this machine every day I know that it's not the same as it was prior to working on that large file. Is there something else related to Photoshop, temporary files, application caches or anything like that, that I should take a look at?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Dual 2.0Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Troy,
First I would try using a separate HD for the scratch disk.As PS tries to read and write,it has to compete with the OS as it tries to hit its swop files. If Version Cue is on, turn it off.Get rid of any virus checking apps.Check your Ram.If you haven't allowed Tiger to run its cron scripts on a regular basis,and only do periodic maintenance, I would take the time to do an Archive and Install, or even wipe the HD,zero it and install tiger again. This I realize is a drastic measure,time
consuming, and a pain.But if your whole system is slowing down?? Or if you get a new drive set it up to be your primary drive first and test your system on it before moving any of your PS files over from the old HD.Use the old HD as scratch disk
Have you included the use of other utilies to check your HD? Drive Genius, Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro.No Norton utilities allowed.Hope this helps as there are a lot of places to look for the problem.

Service Host causing system Slow down

I'm having slow down issues while switching between programs or when switching websites. Watching task manager it seems the service host engages and jumps the cpu usage up to 70 to 80% for
several seconds.
What report were you requesting to review the possible issues? Would you mind reviewing my report?

In order to diagnose your problem we need to run Windows performance toolkit the instructions for which can be found in this

Why does Firefox performance slow down after starting Jack server?

Hello,
I started configuring my audio on my system. So, I want to have jack working (not jack2, to work with wineasio) with best sound quality with all sound routed through jack. When i start jack server with this command and settings:
killall jackd;killall pulseaudio;jackd -R -t 1000 -d alsa -P hw:0,0 -r 48000 -n2 -D
Firefox slows down, opens new pages slow and the scroll down is very very slow. I had this issue with other distros too. I suspect that it has to do with realtime ( which i need for my audio related apps like traktor through wine, ardour, ableton through wine etc) without being sure about it. Any idea why this is happening?

zabrielza wrote:I had this issue with other distros too.
This smells like hardware problem. Do this:
1. Kill pulseaudio, jack, and make sure they are killed
2. Make sure you do not renice anything or apply other such tweaks
3. Run jackd -d alsa
4. Use your system
5. If unsatisfactory, try jackd -d alsa -p 1024 -n 3
6. Use your system
Jack runs with realtime priority by default (no flag required), and we still use the audio group to provide that privilege. I also do not advocate the realtime kernel, but you may try it. Jack not functioning well (i.e. hampering other tasks significantly) on a standard kernel is cause for concern.
You can read/grep your dmesg and systemd journal for suspicious messages. You may try running real-time audio tasks in another operating system with your hardware, and upon success may proceed to debug the problem on Linux, possibly with the help of the alsa developers.
Or better yet, grab a supported semi-pro external audio device if jack is important for you. However, this may not help if the problem is somewhere deeper, e.g. at the hardware interrupt level.

PB slow down on windows 7 and above?

So i have a PB classic application that is on 12.5 running on windows 7. What looks like is happening is we have seen a general across the board slow down in all processes vs when it was running on XP.
It looks like the application is doing a lot of I/O to a few different registry settings:
located in
HKCU\control panel\international\
I don't have any place in the code that is doing this. So i am guessing that PB is doing it?
It looks like for some reason the I/O is getting interrupted every few seconds in windows 7 vs what it was doing in XP we think that is creating a slow down.
Does anyone know why this registry setting is being read? Or how to stop it?
Maybe if anyone knows why windows 7 and windows XP run the same PB process with the same data at two different speeds?

If your Windows 7 is x64 edition you have to consider that your application it's 10-15% slower than in 32bit environment. This overhead it's due to the operative system that emulate 32 bit application in 64bit environment.
I've find that compile in W2003 32 bit it's faster than W7 64bit with a better hardware...

Oracle 10G slow Performance on Windows 2003 Server

Hi there,
Looking for a little assistance in locating a bottleneck that's started to hit our system this week. It's really odd because it's been starting around 10am every morning this week.
today is the worst that I've seen it because it's almost brought the system to a halt.....
We're running Oracle 10.2.0.1 64b on Windows 2003 Server 64
The server has 16 processors and 64GB of RAM currently the CPU is sitting at 5% and the RAM usage is at 16.4GB
It's a blade server with a SAN backend and I'm assuming the latency is coming from the disk but I need to determine this for a fact.
I've only been a DBA for about a year and I'm stilling learing how to locate and identify issues. According to OEM I'm seeing
a ton of I/O from the users. So anyways, any help or insight would be much appreciated and a learning experience for me.
Thank you for your time and asistance.
SB

Thank you for the reply!
We've had finding one FOREVER, I can't resolve it and I've read somewhere to ignore because OEM is false reporting. I'm adjusting DB_Cache now...
Isn't possible that too much cache could be bad for the system and cause slow downs?

External drives cause program slow downs

To my early 2009 iMac, I have few external drives connected through USB and Firewire. During light disk use the hard drives spin down after awhile and go into saving enregy mode (sleep).
When doing normal functions like printing a Word doc or printing from TextEdit or working on some other programs, I get the spin wheel and programs pause until the sleepy drives wake up and pick up speed again.
The document(s) that I am working on are on the computer hard drive.
The external drives are contibuting nothing to the job on hand, why do they need to be awaken during this kind of processing and why do the programs need to wait for them?
Though I have Lion installed now, this used to happen with Snow Lepoard as well.
Thanks

Thanks for that info on your Mini's specs.
You have plenty of RAM reported, so I think we can rule out a bank of RAM disappearing and the Virtual Memory system being over-taxed to compensate.
You say "Now everything is slow again, when I turn the computer, it takes minutes to come up, and then I get the spinning ball whenever I try to do anything."
The spinning ball generally indicates that operating system is waiting for a "resource" to become available. Depending on how your Mini is/was setup vis-a-vis the external drives, some of your programs may be looking for stuff on external drives that are no longer available, or that are misfunctioning.
The "resource" that is being waited for, could also be a network resource, like an iDisk (if you have MobileMe) or a NAS (Network Attached Storage).
The wait for a "resource" could also be due to a hard drive starting to go bad, and the operating system needing repeated attempts to get data from it.
Apropos NAS, it has been reported iTunes 10 doesn't play well with data stored on non-Apple NASes.
Since you have an Intel Mini, it might also be useful to perform an SMC reset (DON'T do a PMU reset):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
+Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve+
+1. Shut down the computer.+
+2. Unplug the computer's power cord.+
+3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
+4. Release the power button.+
+5. Attach the computers power cable.+
+6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.+
Be sure to perform steps 4 and 5 in the correct order.

Periods of inactivity causes a slow down

hi all..
we have a websphere 6.1 server and a java application which is a multi thread rmi server (a product from an external supplier), residing on the same aix machine, using the same jdk (NOT jvm off course) , and both are connected to oracle.
we have noticed that periods of inactivity in our web application causes a slowdown in performance once they used again, for example you do an operation in the web application go for lunch, do the same thing the suffer a slow performance. lately while the scanning the log of the rmi server, we have noticed that it too has the same issue, after periods (which could be minutes even) the same operation could take 2 times more. our supplier suggested that it might have something to do with swapping/paging the application , but i'm not sure, we first thought the websphere performs some sort of resources clean-ups, but the rmi application has no such thing (not using even a connection pool), so i was thinking that maybe oracle has something to do with it.
is there anyway to monitor such a thing, the memory paging, and oracle connections?

i the following test:
i create a small servlet under websphere which opened a connection (using jdbc ,no data source) ,executed a query and returned forward only result set , i ran thought the result set, (extracting only one field) and closed the connection, the measured in code the time it took for each action (connection to oracle, execute the statment and itirating the results)
the first time, the itirating thought the query took 800 ms, but subseqient actions (just placing refresh on the page which caused the servlet to do it again) only took half the time.
i waited 10 minutes and did it again, this time connecting to oracle took 5 seconds! (instead 80-100 ms it usually took including the first time) but the query look preformed ok).
i waited 10 more minutes and then did it again, this time it preformed ok, i pressed again but this time the loop itself took 1.2 seconds!, what can i learn from that?

What causes periodic slowing down ?- (cured with reboot)

Hello, all! I'm loving my older Mac mini, but noticed a strange phenomenon - it sometimes gets really slow, cured by rebooting. I used the Activity monitor, and when it is slow, 90% of the CPU power is used by "system" I noticed an application named Twainbridge was using a lot of power, quit that, and that sped things up a lot, but it still progresses to extremely slow. Any thoughts? I have removed some programs. Checking permissions and disk space is OK (24gig free) When it runs great, it's fast and wonderful, and when it's slow, restarting cures it. Any utilities/fixes? Thanks

It depends on the scanner and the software, but generally twainbridge only runs when it is called by the host software or connected hardware. A bit of trial and error might be in order in terms of simply leaving the scanner disconnected and checking to see if you suffer the performance issues. If not, then that should work just fine as a solution, though it suggests the software may not be entirely compatible with the version of MacOS.
It's also possible that the hardware or software vendors have newer drivers and/or software available which may behave a little better.
Also a possibility which has worked for some users with less than ideally compatible devices and software is to set up a separate account on the system to log in to and use just for those specific things, allowing the main account to remain unblemished by performance hits and potential stability issues.

What is causing system slow down? Why is my screen now in contrast?

Does anyone know what type of diagnostics or utilities to run on a MacPro OS X 10.6.8 (mid 2010) when the system slows to a halt every few minutes? Today, besides becoming even slower, the screen has gone to a "contrast" setting.
Any solutions for the "beach ball of death"?
Thanks!

go to spotlight and type disk utility
click on it and it'll take you to this
click on Macintosh HD then click vertify disk permission
then it'll run after that click repair disk permissions
then thats it it'll run and repair everything
