How to get Activity Monitor to show processes running on one specific drive

I clone my main drive to two cloned drives. From the clones I normally, without any problem, run both Repair Disk from the Apple Disk Utility, and a maintenance program from Disk Warrior. Now, however, neither of these utility programs are able to unmount my main drive. Rather, they return a message to quite running processes. I have tried to use Activity Monitor to locate what is running, but can find no way to determine which of the dozens of processes listed are connected to the main drive, rather than to the boot drive of the clone. Plus, I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive. Please help. Thanks.

Let's start in reverse order...
I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive
That's easy. You can't unmount the drive if any files on that drive are in use. That does not necessarily mean the application is stored on that drive, but any file on that drive could prevent it being unmounted - for example, if an application has a document open that is on the drive, you might not be able to unmount the drive.
Even subtler, if you're running Terminal.app and have cd'd into a directory on that drive, then you won't be able to unmount, either, since the directory is 'in use'.
As for finding out which applications are using the disk, try lsof in terminal:
sudo lsof +d /Volumes/diskname
This will show any process that has an open file handle on /Volumes/diskname (and its subdirectories).

How to get the list of batch jobs running in a specific application server

Hi Team,
I am trying to check in SM37 if there is any specific condition to get the list of batch jobs assigned to a specific target server but cant find any.
Is there is way to find the list of batch jobs assigned to run in one specific application server.( Target server specified in SM36 while job creation)

Hello,
This is what you can do in SM37.
Execute the list of batch jobs, when the result appears on the screen edit the ALV grid via CTRL+F7.
Now add the following columns "TargetServ" and "Executing server".
You will now have two extra columns in your result list.
TargetServr contains the value of the application server where the job should run when you have explicitely filled it in.
Often this is empty, this means that at runtime SAP will determine itself on which application server the job will run (depending of course where the BGD processes are defined).
Executing server is filled in always for all executed jobs, this is the actual application server where the job has run.
You can also add these two fields in your initial selection screen of SM37 by using the "Extended job selection" button.
I hope this isusefull.

How to get active monitor-Multiple monitors connected to a single machine.

Hi,
How to get the id of active graphic device, in case of multiple graphic devices connected to a single machine(Multi-headed display/ multi headed nodes) using Swing.
Prashanth.

Ah, youre actually asking different things.
In your topic title, you say youre running separate instances
In your body text, you say you are under different user/schema
So tell me, do you have more than one database or not? How many entries in your TNS file?
I would say, for "multiple database instances"
SELECT
a.id, b.id
FROM
tableA a
INNER JOIN
tableB@OTHER_DATABASE_LINK_NAME b <--NOTE!
USING(id)And of course you will have to look up CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK sql..

How can I get Activity Monitor to work?

I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)

I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac. If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles. I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

Activity monitor not showing all memory

I just upgraded to 10.7.4 on my Mac Mini from a fresh install of 10.6.3. Activity Monitor shows 3 GB available, while System Profiler shows 4GB:
But when I boot back into 10.5.8, all 4GB are there usable in AM.
When I upgraded from 10.5.8, with 10.6.3 Activity Monitor started showing total of 3 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB as System Profile does show. I ran Rember and all tests passed. It showed 4 GB total memory and 1690 MB available memory which seems about consistent with AM's Free memory.
I use Virtual PC and it has a slider bar to set the RAM for the PC. It shows a little more than 3.5 GB available though above 3 GB it is highlighted in yellow, as if caution about trying to use it. So I set it to a little more than 3GB, started V PC and watched its usage climb in Activity Monitor. When it reached about 3GB the whole Mac OSX locked.
So, then I tried a fresh install of 10.6.3 and it has the same behavior and upgrade to 10.7.4 still the same.
Any ideas why the system seems to "see" (System Profiler) all the memory but not be using it (AM)?
Here is a related issue and the poster's solution was to switch the riser cards around:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11022205?tstart=0#11022205
Maybe I need to swap my memory cards around.

Well, I finally decided to go on and search for the specs on my Mini, even though all 4 GB work under 10.5.8. Here it is:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP7
"1GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) on two SO-DIMMs; supports up to 2GB"
I bought it in 10/2007. Even for that long ago, it seems like 2GB would have been quite limiting. I upgraded to 4GB soon after I got it. So, I suppose that I get anything above 2GB is a bonus.
Seems strange and sad to me but I suppose it is true.
Still will try swapping the cards around... maybe I can still get the newer OS and all 4GB back by some quirk as before.

How to get Active users list in Essbase 6.5.6

i used LISTLOGINS command in ESSCMD but its not helping me out....
pls suggest me some approach to find active users list.

Hi ,
Display sessions will give only active users details which are currently connected to the ESSBASE .
if you need this list ? or you need the total list of security active users list ?
if you need the currently connected to the ESSBASE
if you check one server At a time or you can check the application level also
1)server level
display session all;
2)application level
display session on application 'application name ';
go for the run command ---> essmsh-----> login;----->enter user name ----> enter password----->enter host (like server name ) then you need to you above 1 &2 commands

I have a related question about the pie chart.
I have 12GB installed. Free at 9.72 + Used at 2.28 adds up to 12GB.
But adding up Wired at 957.4MB, Active at 754.1MB, and Inactive at 632.4MB comes to 2.3GB (rounded). Adding that to the pie chart figure of 11.75 gives a total of 14.05GB, which isn't possible. What does the pie chart figure at 11.75GB represent? It can't be the 12GB minus the Wired, Active and Inactive either, since that would be much less than 11.75. And if it's supposed to be the total of installed Memory, why the missing .25GB?
Wired+Active+Inactive = Used. Thus, 9.72+2.28 ≃ 9.7.2+2.3 ≃ 12. The 11.75 is a mucked up AM reading. Check the memory via About this Mac->More info. Mine shows exactly 12 GB.

Hi
Thanks, that will work, but then I'll have to insert code into all my reports.
I can see that "Application Server Control Console" is able to rerun a report.
This must mean that the Report Server has access to the runtime parameters.
But how?

Question: As I send an email, the mail activity indicator is showing that more than one email is being sent! Last time it was 5 even though I was only sending one and there were no other emails in the out box! What's going on here I ponder?

Several time in the past, similar question was asked in the forum, for example check the link and reference OSS notes mentioned in it. You can also search the forum, if you need further info on this topic.
