How to find disk usage by application

Using the Activity Monitor, I can see that something is making an excessive number of disk IO's and generally slowing the system down.
Is there some way I can see the disk IO on a per-process bases (the same as I can see the CPU usage for each process)?
Thanks
Susan

That does not seem to be it - the process that shows up by far the most messages being sent and received is 'kernel task'.
I think I have tracked down the problem that I was seeking this information to solve (does that make sense?). I have been doing quite a bit of software development, some of it involving installing quite large packages. As these were being installed Spotlight was going crazy trying to index them all and causing the system to slow down because of all the directory lookups etc, it was doing.
At least that is my theory and stopping Spotlight's indexing (I have never used Spotlight anyway - it never seems to find what I'm after) I have not seem the performance hit I was seeing before.
On the other hand, I would still like to know how to monitor disk IOs on a per-process basis for the future.
Thanks
Susan

On your iPad go to the App Store icon, Tap on the Purchased Tab.
It will show you all the Apps that have been bought with the Apple Id currently in use by the iPad.
Assuming its the same one being used on the iPhone, you should be able to find the App there.
To further help you find it you can tap on the "Not on this iPad" button to limit the results to just Apps not currenlty installed on your iPad.

2d Direct draw, and how to find out if the application is a java apps

I am running a banner application that was written in java. And in some instances, we are seeing the banner flicker every 5 seconds or 10 seconds. The banner application is written by some other government branch and on their documentation they say that the flickering is due to java's 2D directdraw used by some other java application (not their banner application). I personally haven't seen this on our test VMs but it is being seen on some physical workstation at the client site.
I am trying to find out the application that is using java's 2D directdraw in our environment. Some of the question I have is
1) Is there anyway to find out what application is using java 2D directdraw? ( I know how to disabled it globally for java but don't want to do that, I would rather just disable it for one application than disabling it on all java application)
2) Is there anyway to find out what applications are depended in JVM on a machine? So that I can narrow the list of application to test.
3) Is there anyway to find out if a application is written in java. Our environments have a lot of applications installed on them and I'm not sure which one use JVM and which one don't. If there is a way to know that then I can narrow down my issue and try to solve it.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it,
Sudeep.

Hi,
if the database is running, start a sqlplus session. You will see in the banner something like '64Bit Production' (for 64-bit) or only 'Production' for 32-bit. Alternatively, especially if the database is not running, go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and type 'file oracle'. The returning strings shows either 32-bit or 64-bit.
Best regards

How To Access Disk Usage Graphic

A little while ago I stumbled upon a multi-colored, horizontal, single line graphic divided into sections, which showed disk usage, each section and color representing a different type of data. This was not the Activity Monitor, which has a pie chart for usage, but does not identify the type of data using the disk space. Neither does this appear in neither Disk Utility nor System Profiler. A day or so ago, in a thread in the Lion community, I saw a screen shot of this graph. This lead me to look for this graphic again, but I have been unable to find a way to access it.
Can anyone lad me to it, please? Thanks.

Not exactly sure which utility you are refrring to by that description (a picture would have helped). So below is a sampling of possible utilities. These links are all macupdate.com links so there are related utilities listed on the pages. If none of the ones I list are exactly what you are after perhaps one of the related utilities is.

How to increase Disk usage reported in Resource Monitor

Hi,
I wonder how I can increase Disk usage reported in the Resource Monitor. When I use the 7200 Hard drive or SSD, the max usage is 1Gb/sec.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
As I understand, you want to increase the size of the root partition (where you installed Solaris) which resides in c1t0d0s0. I think it can be done using Concatenations from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
I have tried it in non root partition like /export/home and it is very easy.
metainit -f d0 2 1 c1t0d0s7 1 c2t0d0s7 //this will create volume d0 as a concatenation
growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 //this will grow the /export/home partition

How to find using SQL query application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user installed manually.

Hi,
how to find using SCCM SQL query, application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user/technician installed manually. Please let me know.

Thanks, is it not possible via any script also?
Like Torsten said, how can you tell the difference between CM12 installed applications and locally installed? Once you can answer that, then you can write report.

Visualize Ram / disk usage desktop application

Hey everyone,
I want to experiment with visualizing realtime ram usage / disk usage in the desktop background, it should also be a bit interactive (when the user moves his mouse the color could change for example) i want to start very basic.
Can someone point me in the right direction how to begin this? I can program in C#/asp.net, i saw some f# examples but i don't even know how to run them :)
Tx so much for any guidance.
Borrie

Hello Borrie,
you can use the PerformanceCounter class to get current RAM usage and disk usage(see
[1] for more information).
For the visualization, you can use the DataVisualizetion package from the WPF ToolKit [2].
There is a sample project about visualizing ram usage at
[3].

How to find a path in Application server?

Hi,
I have a reqirement that i need to download the original document which is attached in the DIR links for each line item in the PO.
Say for Eg. user is uploading the original document in CV03n.
Through program i have to download it and save it in local desktop.
But as per my concern when user uploads that document in CV03N, it should get updated in application server.
I wants to know how can i find that path through the document got updated in AL11.
Please let me know if you have any idea on this.
Also please let me know if my question is not clear.
Regards,
Prabu

Hi Prabu,
It depends on how DMS is implemented in your place.
If DMS is implemented along with CONTENT SERVER, then the actual document uploaded is stored in CONTENT SERVER and only a link is saved in SAP DB and whenever you refer to this link the image is being retrieved and displayed.
If you dont have content server then the uploaded documents are stored in your application server only. Generally the big companies which implement DMS do have a content server otherwise DB size will grow enormously in no time.
Once you check out the basics of ur requirement, then search through FM's available related to DMS.
Hope this answer helps.

Lakshmi Narayana
