First Precalculation Package usually hangs for BI 7 Precalc of Excel

We are using BI 7 Precalculation.  We have two windows computers.  There are about 500 settings that are scheduled to run every week.  In order to use Control M scheduler, the rsrd_broadcast_start program was scheduled with a variant that launches settings associated with a queue named "WEEKLY".  The tp_broadcasting_weekly is actually scheduled to start running 12/31/9999 so it doesn't start by itself.  We created a job named 1ZWhatever that runs the settings.  Usually we end up with about 72 packages, all with the jobname BIBCASTsomethingdifferent.  We run the job at 3 am in the morning.  The first couple of packages that run seem to somehow interfer with each other....One of the jobs that runs has a setting that hangs.
Looking at the log, it looks like both jobs tried to get a thread in the first Precalculation server named ITSA2.  When we run that
setting by itself later in the day, it runs to normal end of job.  Has anyone experienced this?  Could it be that the windows computer is in sleep mode at 3am?  When both packages try to get a thread in ITSA2, does one of the jobs get rejected?
Do you think it would help to implement the OSS Note 1371345 to make it time out?  When it times out, will it kill the entire
series of packages, or will it try to run the next setting?  What we end up doing is killing the hung job using SM50, and
we lose a thread in the precalc server.  We then rerun the individual settings for the user that had the first hung job.
In the case that other packages were not spawned, we rerun the whole job stream from the top, and mysteriously
it finishes.  It seems to run better during the day versus batch.  Do we need to wake up the windows computer somehow
before we try to run excel on it?  I'm wondering if the two settings attempt to get a thread on ITSA2 at 3am if one hangs
due to them requesting at the same moment.

Hi Chris,
             Instead of using rsrd_broadcast_start program/tp_broadcasting_weekly, use RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH.Follow the link as shown below

  • IMovie Hangs For 50 Seconds When I Open It

    I use iMovie '11 (9.0.8). For some reason, when I first open it, it hangs for about 50 seconds, displaying the spinning pinwheel cursor. I can't skim over clips while it's hanging, I can't start editing a project. I can't do anything.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening? How can I fix it?

    It appears the behavior is caused by iCloud pushing the information, to include the password, to Mail.
    If I delete my iCloud account password and save the changes, the password reappears without me typing it in.
    If I go to System Preferences/iCloud and uncheck the sync Mail box, my iCloud account in Mail disappears. When I recheck the sync Mail box, the account reappears, complete with password.
    Based on my testing, you are stuck with things the way they are.
    If you want to provide feedback to Apple, you can do that in Mail under the Mail menu.

  • Skype Windows client hangs for the first call - co...

    Hi,
    Skype on my Windows 8.1 (depending on its mood) hangs for the first call. It will keep ringing and ringing till it times out, during that time I am not able to hang up the call as well, the red hang up button doesnt work and we have to let the call go on till it drops on its own. Then on the second try it connects perfectly fine. This happens most of the times, there are only a few days where it connects on the first try otherwise its always the 2nd time. 
    Please let me know what could be the possible solution for this one?
    Thanks

  • Acrobat 11 Standard digital signature box hangs for 60 seconds on first run

    I have a user that has a problem when going to sign a document. After a reboot attemt to sign and when the box pops up to actually sign something it just hangs with the fields all grayed out for about a minute. Subsequent attempts there seems to be no issue only the first time. This behavior started a few weeks ago. I have another user without the problem. Any ideas what could be causing it to take so long the first time? Very frustrating for the user.

    Is this Windows or Mac, which OS version? Which Acrobat XI version (including minor)? Does this happen after each reboot (you said that already but, please, confirm? Does this happen if before signing the first time after reboot you open an already signed PDF? Does opening of a signed PDF after a reboot before you try to sign happens in acceptable time or is also slow?

  • First time I press the space-bar the text entry hangs for several seconds

    Hi,
    When entering text, the first time I press the space-bar the text entry hangs for several seconds.
    From then on, there are no problems when entering text.
    iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2.1, no automatic correction and no spell checking.
    Thanks,
    Ofir

    Didn't resolve the problem
    There was some duplicated fonts fixed, but there wasn't the problem.
    Right now i'm writin this in Firefox and here is fine. Couldn't do this in Safari.
    I did make a video showing the problem.
    Also strange is the fact that in some tabs there isn't (aparently) the problem in Safari.
    Any other ideas?

  • CS4 randomly hangs for many minutes at a time

    I've been doing a number of editing jobs on CS4 for a while now. Started out on a mac but happened to have a pretty decent Windows 7 system on hand so I decided to use that. Here are the specs:
    Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Intel quad-core i7
    6 GB RAM
    CS4 installed on 1TB C drive
    Project files and scratch disk on striped volume consisting of 3 500GB SATA drives
    This setup was performing spendidly on the first few projects I did, but seems to be bogging down as I work on more projects, even though the available disk space doesn't seemed to have changed much. It seems to bog down more on large projects.
    What I'm noticing is that as I browse source files and try to set in/out points etc., CS4 will play for a little while and then hang for many minutes at a stretch. It will eventually come back and be usable for a short while but then hang again.
    The strange thing is that when it is hung, the system resource monitor shows that the CS4 process is not responding, but it shows very low CPU usage on all cores and no surge in memory usage. Disk I/O also remains relatively low, leaving me at a loss to explain the hangs. I experienced something very similar on CS4 for mac when dealing with these same projects.
    The projects have a lot of DV footage split into 2.6GB chunks that I am concatenating together. They also have some HD MJPEG AVIs that I captured using a Black Magic Intensity Pro card.
    I should also add that when I finally do get the projects finished and start rendering them, the rendering is very fast overall, which confirms my theory that my machine's performance is more than adequate and these hangs are due to bugs and I/O bottlenecks in CS4 itself.
    Needless to say, this is very frustrating. I have less of a problem if a program needs to do something and explains to me why I need to wait while it does it, but I don't like my programs to go away for hours without telling me where they're going.
    Adobe people, if you're listening, please respond to this. I have seen a number of other complaints about similar issues. At least let us know if you're aware of these issues and what you are doing about it.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Well, any progress is good, eh? For MJPEG's, most of us will recommend either the MainConcept, or the Morgan. I wonder how the BM MJPEG CODE's would work, without the card - just thinking there? BTW - more users like the MainConcept by a few.
    As far as Adobe goes, if they are going to put up a forum, in my opinion, they should be actively monitoring it and responding to issues. Otherwise it becomes more of a liability than an asset and merely serves to call attention to their own obliviousness.
    You make a good point, but I feel that Adobe sees these as an asset in that the best T/S work is done by other users. I always suggest that anyone having any issue with an Adobe product, stop by the fora first. Most never need to go any farther. For tons of free T/S, Adobe pays for the servers and the administration of the fora.
    Still, and this is between just you and me, I'd love to hear that there are some "monitors," who do read. As I mentioned, this forum is blessed to have the few Adobe employees, that we do. Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the developers of PS. Even in his role, however, I believe that he only offers solutions and explanations, and does not "take notes." One exception was when he was compiling a list of "problem fonts" for PS, and asked for contributions with full details on what problems they caused.
    When a new upgrade, or an update is issued, we do see more Adobe representation here. It usually starts with a post that something is coming out, and as many details, as are possible to divulge, are given. As we draw closer to the release date, more details are often forthcoming. This presence usually stays until after the release, and we get to comment from the trenches, how the update/upgrade works. Then, I know that notes are being taken. After a bit, that presence fades (as far as we can tell, but who knows?). Sometimes I wonder about those shadows on the wall in the Video Lounge... oh wait, those are just grease stains from the yoodles.
    Good luck on your Project, and please keep us updated. My brain just keeps coming back to the MJPEG's, but they probably are not part of the issue.

  • Database hange for a while

    Hi All,
    These are my envirnment:
    Database: Oracle 8i
    Platform: HP Unix -11
    Database Size: Production less then 100GB
    My database get hange for while during the day time . Total hange time less the 5 to10 minutes. During that time, nobody can login in to it. Even I can not log in to it as sysdba. After few minutes it comes in to regullar mode. I can not see any alert in log file or even does not generate any trace file. I do not know the exact time, but it hange three or four time a day.
    I have cheked CPU performance, it had equall load on all the CPU.
    If you can provide me query to trace my database and advice, I will be appreciated your help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    I can not see any alert in log file From HPUX? Can you tail the alert log?
    Total hange time less the 5 to10 minutes.There is some resource shortage, you need to check the OS layer first:
    - Check for RAM swapping:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_tuning_cpu_usage_vmstat.htm
    Detecting Potential I/O Bottlenecks in AIX is easy. Using IBM's AIX dialect of UNIX, an I/O bound database server is usually evidenced by a high value in the wa (wait) column of vmstat.
    Below, we see that 22 percent of the CPU time is being used waiting for database I/O.
    root> vmstat
    kthr     memory             page              faults        cpu    
    r  b   avm   fre  re  pi  po  fr   sr  cy  in   sy  cs us sy id wa
    0  0 217485   386  0   0   0   4   14   0 202  300 210 14 19 45 22It is important to note that a high wait value does not always signal an I/O bottleneck. The CPU wait could be due to other factors, and this metric simply means that the CPU is waiting for external OS services.
    Now that we understand the basics of the vmstat utility, let's explore an easy method for capturing vmstat data, storing it inside an Oracle table, and producing server performance reports.
    If I had to guess, it's a RAM shortage, that would explain why nobody can sign on.
    It's also a problem when you cannot get onto the database to see why it;s hanging!

  • Why does Pages 09 hang for 1min30sec? The spinning ball, etc...

    I am using Pages 09 version 4.3 (not the iWork package, just Pages 09)
    Operating system 10.8.3 with 4 Gb memory on an iMac from around 2009 (Intel core 2 duo)
    I had been using Quark Xpress for a couple decades and wanted to save a book I did in Pages so I can sell it in the Apple bookstore.
    So I saved a Quark document as a pdf.
    Then I used an on-line service to convert the pdf to a word document.
    Then I opened the word doc in Pages and saved it as a Pages file.
    I am in the process of doing a lot of reformatting, but I'm not surprised all the formatting didn't carry over, considering all the flie formats I went through.
    The document is about 40 pages and has perhaps 40 pictures, but I do resize them in Photoshop so the Pages document file is only 4.9 Mb.
    Pages isn't all that different from Quark, it just seems to hide things in different places.
    The problem is that every so often when I click in the document, I get the spinning ball and Pages hangs for 1 minute and 30 seconds (doesn't it seem odd that it is always for the same length of time?). Then it comes out of its coma and I carry on.
    Using the Activity Monitor I see Pages using 99.8% or 100% or even 100.5% of CPU. And The Pages line is in red type that reads "Pages (Not Responding).
    While I wait for Pages to come to its senses, I can surf the Web, or use other programs, which seems peculiar because if the CPU is 100% occupied, I would think it could.
    When I go to the dock and click on the Pages icon, it doesn't come to the front. I have to move any other windows so I can see my Pages document and click on it to bring it to the front.
    I went into FontBook and checked all my fonts and deleted a bunch. When I reopened the document, it said it was missing a font, so I selected a substitute, the document opened and I re-saved it with a new name.
    Sometimes it hangs when I click in text, but just now it was hanging every time I tried to click on a line behind the main text box.
    Just now it hung when I started to go to the Edit menu. I waited and now it's back, as if nothing happened.
    Any ideas?

    After a very long night it seems my problems were solved by
    1. making sure all the in-line pictures had the correct wrap around settings and
    2. deleting some lines that had originally been underscores, but wound up being independent lines behind the main text box and
    3. checking my fonts in FontBook and deleting the iffy ones (I dunno if this made any real difference, but I mention it anyway).
    Every time I would select a line there would be a long pause. Initially 1 1/2 minutes, but shorter as I deleted the lines one by one.
    There were also pauses when trying to select in-line pictures, and sometimes for no good reason that i could discern.
    Anyway, now that the pictures' wrap around is re-set, and the lines are delected, there are bo more pauses!
    Whew. I spent hours watching that ball spin. Still, it was better than re-creating the whole book.

  • DTP does not fetch all records from Source, fetches only records in First Data Package.

    Fellas,
    I have a scenario in my BW system, where I pull data from a source using a Direct Access DTP. (Does not extract from PSA, extracts from Source)
    The Source is a table from the Oracle DB and using a datasource and a Direct Access DTP, I pull data from this table into my BW Infocube.
    The DTP's package size has been set to 100,000 and whenever this load is triggered, a lot of data records from the source table are fetched in various Data packages. This has been working fine and works fine now as well.
    But, very rarely, the DTP fetches 100,000 records in the first data package and fails to pull the remaining data records from source.
    It ends, with this message "No more data records found" even though we have records waiting to be pulled. This DTP in the process chain does not even fail and continues to the next step with a "Green" Status.
    Have you faced a similar situation in any of your systems?  What is the cause?  How can this be fixed?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers
    Shiva

    Hello Raman & KV,
    Thanks for your Suggestions.
    Unfortunately, I would not be able to implement any of your suggestions because, I m not allowed to change the DTP Settings.
    So, I m working on finding the root cause of this issue and came across a SAP Note - 1506944 - Only one package is always extracted during direct access , which says this is a Program Error.
    Hence, i m checking more with SAP on this and will share their insights once i hear back from them.
    Cheers
    Shiva

  • 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.*;

    super(title);
    mParent = parent;
    append(new StringItem(null, "Please wait...\n"));
    addCommand(mCancelCommand = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 0));
    setCommandListener(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?

  • I have an ipod touch 4g 32 gb. after a week of use, i noticed that sometimes, after i unlock , the homescreen hangs for about 3-6 seconds.

    i tried restoring. initially it was ok. then i downloadded an app from the appstore. after downloading i unlocked my ipod and it hangs.
    for sure it will hang at this time.
    then it continues to hang
    it is not jailbroken
    and its not only the homescreen. its just the whole device. during this hanging time no button will work. the touch interface does not work. nothing. after 5 seconds....everything is back to normal ... it is very very annoying

    sorry for bringing this up again...
    In the meantime I switched from KDE to MATE Desktop, using LightDM and then sddm as Display Managers. The Problem is still the same: everything is starting and booting fine, it's maybe 15 seconds from pressing the ON switch on my laptop until the Login-Dialog of sddm appears. When I enter my password and hit "Enter" the display manager just waits like 20-30 seconds until somethings happens, and MATE is loaded.
    This only happens on my first login, right after boot. When I logout and login again, it just takes some seconds until the desktop is loaded.
    I looked into "journalctl", but it does not show anything suspicious. It's just a 20-30 second black hole between entries.
    I get the exact same behaviour when I disable the display manager and boot into console login.
    Can someone please help me with that?

  • SOAP requests hang for 5 minutes. Why?

    As a first step in using the SOAP features integrated in Java 6 I went through the JAX-WS 2.0 tutorial at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jax_ws_2/.
    I created the simple webservice as well as the client (I am not using the Netbeans IDE but I did the corresponding in my IDE).
    I started the service in a local VM and started the local client application as well.
    What's really odd is: the service and the client worked on first attempt (and I verified this by inserting println statements into the code), but the return of the result always hangs for pretty exactly 5 minutes (by when - I guess - some timeout strikes).
    I.e. the client issues the request and the server-side gets called practically immediately, but the result is passed back to the client only 5 minutes later.
    At first I had thought, that things didn't work, but when I got distracted and later returned to my screen I found, that my WebService requests had actually worked as designed.
    But why does the return of the response take 5 minutes? Any ideas, anybody?
    Michael

    I've seen similar behavior, but not on every invocation. In my case:
    1) Nightly backups were starting at 5:30PM every day - every request then timed out;
    2) Our development servers were virtual machines - they were often slow to wake up.
    Otherwise, the web services responded normally.

    HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
    Restore the phone via iCloud.com
    1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
    2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
    3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
    You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
    4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
    5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
    As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

  • Safari 5.1.7 Bookmarks - adding or changing hangs for a few seconds

    Hello all -
    Safari 5.1.7 - osx 10.7.4 - MBA
    Safari hangs when adding a bookmark or deleting/changing order/moving to new folders etc.
    Hangs for about 5 seconds and then completes the task.
    It will do the first change just fine, then any further bookmarks adds/changes will hang the browser.
    I've tried all the suggested steps, clear cache, reset etc.
    Problem comes right back.
    Suggestions?
    thanks
