DB performance is very slow from a WINDOWS machine

Hi,
We have written an application which contains a pkg that will write all the logs related to application in the form of a text file. We are using utl file operation to achieve the same. As of now I have 2 Setups. We have two IBM servers with similar configuration, one in which we have installed Windows server 2003 and the other with HP-UX. We have installed 11g version of DB In these two machines. The problem is with the performance of the application. The DB in Unix server takes less time for writing the log. For eg: it takes 10 secs to write 5MB log. But the same takes more than an hour from a Windows machine. I want to know whether the performance of the DB depends on the OS which we are operating from or else it depends on the parameters set for the DB? Kindly help me.
Thanks

Kindly help me.I did some testing a while back between windows and linux and the difference on properly configured windows and linux database servers (same hardware same db version) wasn't worth talking about (< 10% often less than 5%).
That said it's not clear what exactly you mean. If you mean that writing a 5mb file on a windows machine takes an hour, then yep something is badly wrong - most likely with the hardware. I suspect though that what you mean is that you do a bunch of database work and that takes an hour on one machine and 10s on the other. This is likely to be a problem amenable to response time analysis, that is to say talking your workload and tracing it with timing information to see where it is spending the time. As you say it is your package, you will also be able to (and should) instrument your own code to see where the time is spent.
given the huge difference, you may well also find that statspack/awr will spit out your offending processes quite well as well.

  • Gmail performance is very slow in Firefox 4.

    Gmail performance is very slow in Firefox 4 and much slower when compared to performance in Firefox 3.6.x After clicking a button within the Gmail interface (e.g. refresh, opening an email, sending an email etc.) there is a noticeable wait time in Firefox 4. In Firefox 3.6 and actually in any/all previous versions of Firefox, this was not the case. Using same machine for Firefox 4 as I was for Firefox 3.x.

    Hi GoldMoon,
    (1)
    Refer to your last posting, seems that you've created index which wouldn't help your query performance.
    You need to create index from the field which supplied from your 'WHERE' condition. So if I follow your initial posting in this thread, your index should contains:
    - BUKRS (which will be compared with your company variable)
    - PRCTR (which will be compared with your s_prctr variable)
    - GJAHR (which will be compared with your s_year variable)
    - HKONT (which will be compared with your glcode value in your it_final[])
    - BUDAT (which will be compared with your s_budat range/select option.
    And to follow the BSIS field order, the above index field need to be arranged as follow
    - BUKRS
    - HKONT
    - GJAHR
    - BUDAT
    - PRCTR
    (2).
    Try not to use 'INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS' as it will increase table-memory overhead, but use 'INTO' and make sure the field list and internal table fields is in the same order.
    So, once the index has been created, and 'INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS' has been changed to 'INTO' your selection should looks like this:
    IF NOT it_final[] IS INITIAL.
    SELECT bukrs
              hkont
              augdt
              augbl
              zuonr
              gjahr
              belnr
              buzei
              budat
              werks
              kostl
              aufnr
              shkzg
              dmbtr
              prctr
        FROM bsis
         INTO TABLE it_bseg
          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_final
    WHERE bukrs eq company
        AND hkont eq it_final-glcode
        AND gjahr eq s_year
        AND budat in s_budat
        AND prctr eq s_prctr.
    ENDIF.

  • Macbook pro performance is very slow

    Mac book Pro system performance is very slow.

    Reinstall OS X if you've never done this before:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    An even better choice is to wipe the drive and reinstall Leopard from scratch. Make a backup first, then restore your files from the backup.

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

    We are facing slowness issue both  thin client and web client.
    Please suggect any remedy to fix the issue.

    It seems our topic is more related to the Windows OS and I would assume a server envoirnment.
    I suggest posting your question in the commercial forums which should be more suitable for a such:

    hi Team,
    Pls . note the advise from SAP below, IS there any have experiance of archiveing /LIME records ?
    Please advise how to start & what the steps in archiving ?
    Thanks in advance
    I had a look at the DCM query performance in PH1 system and figured out
    that most of the time is spent at the LIME layer of database. The
    following LIME tables are having far too many entries and is causing
    the bottleneck during the query execution.
    /LIME/NLOG_QUAN - 38,165,467
    /LIME/PN_ITEM - 19,116,518
    /LIME/PN_ITEM_TB - 19,154,124
    These tables are storing the historical information about LIME(stock)
    updates. Since these table grow with each change/update of stock
    information, it will slow down the performance of the system over a
    period of time. And to avoid the slow responses, the tables should
    ideally be archived on a periodic basis to keep the data volume as
    minimal as possible. You may have to discuss with the Business to
    determine the number of days of LIME record you would want to retain
    in the system. I would strongly recommend you to consider the LIME
    archival retaining the minimum days (<=60 days) of historical
    information. You can find more information about the Lime Archival
    in the Sap Help link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/44/2a83121dde23d1e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm.
    Kindly get in touch with your BASIS consultant for the LIME archival.
    The application performance should definitely improve after the LIME
    archival. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me in case you
    require any further clarification in this regards.
    Best Regards

    One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
    Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
    Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
    Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
    So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
    Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

    programs run very slow from dock sometimes does not open at all

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • IWeb 08 - my site works on my laptop, but is MEGA slow on a Windows machine

    My iWeb constructed site - published to a folder, then uploaded to my domain using Transmit (which is fully functional!) works on my laptop(s) but is MEGA slow on a Windows machine....and considering there's a lot of 'sheep' using Windows out there...AND the website involved is a business (a shop) www.ukdk.dk then I'm losing some business.
    What could be the problem?
    It works on BOTH my 2 Mac laptops (a G5 & a G4) , I've checked with the web-host/provider and all is fine there. When I used my old G4 to construct a website there was no problem of this manner. It's since iWeb 08 has been used.
    I've got the latest updates, have slimmed down the website to 'try' and make it faster (which takes away it's groovey look, which detracts the charm of the site so that's a bloomin' nuisance) and have done everything within my power/knowledge to sort this. To no avail.
    HELP!

    The business is a shop. A small one. Even before (note: BEFORE) I let anyone at all know about the site's existence I checked it out on both a Mac - my own 2 - and a dreaded Windows machine. Worked fine with Mac, but not with Windows. This isnt with any traffic other than MYSELF visiting the site! I'd love to hear of other iWeb '08 users and their sites so I can check them out to see if they have the same problem. It's strange that I didn't get this when using my iBook G4's iWeb software.
    Maybe I'll try transfering the domain file from laptop (New MacBook with iWeb '08) to laptop (Old iBook G4 with older version of iWeb) and seeing if that helps. A thorough pain in the backside if so, but at least the site will be working!
    "Technical support!!!" Lol.
    Just as an aside....what are the settings I should use at my host/web-hotel for optimum performance? I have them set already, but I want to double & triple check 'em. Better safe than sorry etc.
    Thanks in advance!!! :))

  • I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries.  How can I merge them?

    I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes.  When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library.  So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it.  I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs.  Help!  How do I merge them. 

    The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
    Check this earlier thread:
    [How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
    That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
    As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

    I have come across a strange problem- only the VNC icon shows on one of our servers. I know all about ports 5900 and 3283, but it happens even when the Firewall is disabled (and I am on the same subnet). I just discovered that I can get it to come up
