I have an infopackage that never finishes

BI gurus,
I have an infopackage which extracts data from one cube and loads to another.  It works find in QA (runs in less than 10 minutes), but the load never completes in prod (I've let it run 5 days).  This does not make sense, as it works find in QA.  The cubes and all associated parts were migrated from QA to prod, so I know them to be identical.  Here is the specifics:
Source cube:  PP_CTPCSV - TPC Sales Volume
Destination cube:  PPTPCFS - TPC Sales Final Version
Process chain: PC_TPCSALES_SV - PC TPC Forecasted Sales SV Load
The analyze shows that Oracle is treating these requests totally different in Prod vs. QA - I hesitate to put them in the thread as they are quite large - I will show the prod plan as a followup(my apologies for the poor formatting.  The SQL request is identical, the execution plan is not. 
Our BI system is 3.5 running on Oracle 10.2.0.2
Any assistance would be appreciated.    Ken

  • Job that never finishes in the Batch Apps Service?

    We have a job that never finishes, the single task that it runs says it's finished but the job never ends. I end up having to cancel it.
    The task that runs takes about 33 minutes or so to complete. Could whatever that monitors the job timeout waiting for the task to finish?
    here's the log that we see for the job
    2/25/2015 7:51:55 AM - (1) Completed task processing.

    Unfortunately, posting our code here really isn't possible.
    I can describe what we're doing and seeing.
    We're not using the batch service to run command line applications. In our task processor, we're determining what classes to create and call and call them in process.  We have a lot of job types (above 15 and counting) that we need to run, so we opted
    to combine them into a single class library and call them that way. None of our jobs output any files, all of our output get persisted to blob storage. We're using the batch service kind of as an on-demand cloud worker infrastructure. 
    It seems like the issue (jobs that never end) are random.  It's not always the same job and it's not always long running ones.  When the issue does crop up, our task completes without any errors. We do see the results of our jobs in blob storage.
     Also in our task processor, we set the TaskProcessResult's ProcessorOutput property to any messages we've logged.  We can download and see those log messages in the portal.
    We also see 2 tasks created for the job, our task and the default merge (we don't create merge tasks for our jobs).
    Would the job id's or logs help in any way?

  • 30EA2: Keep Getting "Upgrading" dialog that never finishes during Migration

    I keep getting a dialog box that is simply titled "Upgrading" during the Migration wizard. Initially, I was getting it during step ??? (Repository selection). I simply hit the Cancel button and it seemed to allow me to proceed but then no databases were listed in Step 5 of the wizard (Capture).
    So, I tried an off-line migration and now I'm getting the dialog when I click the "Finish" button at the end of the wizard (Step 9). The "Cancel" button is disabled and only the "Close" button is available. When I click "Close" to clear the dialog, I get an error from the wizard: "Cannot use this connection for the Migration Repository, No upgrade available"
    Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade... What the heck is it talking about?

    Additional information... When I respond to the "Cannot use this connection for the Migration Repository, No upgrade available" message, i get another messgae that says:
    "Migration actions have failed. Check the migration reports for details. : null"
    Suggestions?

  • I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

    i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

    How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

  • I have several aps that are loading for two months now. I am afraid to erase them. What do I di to let them finish reload? One of them, is Skype and if I delete it it says it will delete everything I have on Skype. Any suggestions?

I have not done any more sincs since. I just wnat these ps to finsh loading on my phone since I wantto use skype again in my phone.

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.

  • Having trouble with imports never finishing

    I am having trouble with imports that never finished. It is almost like the pictures are stuck on one image. the only way to get out of Iphoto is to force quit. The next time I open, there are a number of images that still need to be imported, but the import never finishes and seems to stop at the same image. When I go to close down I get the message that Photos are being imported to the library.
    Anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Photo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out your iPhoto library and make sure all photos are viewable and there. Force quitting when iPhoto is working can corrupt the database file, Library6.iPhoto. Make a backup copy of it and save in another folder.
    First make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder. Now download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Open iPhoto and see if it will work OK.
    If not, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Lastly use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.

  • Servlet that never stops...

    Hi,
    Is possible to do a threaded servlet that never finishes to response? something like a servlet that, when called, connect to a database and send the results of a query to client, update the database and try the query again ... like:
    while(true)
    rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from table where flag = 1");
    while(rs.next())
    os.writeChars(rs.getString(1));
    stmt.executeUpdate("update table set flag = 2")
    os.flush();
    In another place, somebody will insert data in the database, with the flag set to 1 ... so the servlet will ever try to select data that are not sent to client .... then send the new data to client ...
    Is this possible? I tried to do something like this, but when I put the thread.sleep() the servlet stopped ... May I do this? I don't know if the server memory will crashes if I do this ... but I really want to try ....
    If someone have an example .... to send text, for example .... while(true){out.println("text")} ...
    Thanks ....
    LMMJ

    Allright ... in other words ....
    I made a servlet that works ... in the browser it is stopped ... but its thread is already running ... If I insert another registry on my database ... with the flag set up to 1 ... after 5 seconds the flag is changed to 2 by the servlet .... the servlet IS RUNNING .... but I can�t response to browser after the first loop on my thread ... I lost the connection to the browser when I sleeps the thread ... how can I send data to the browser .... make another thing ... and send data again .... without lost the connection? or .... send data to the browser in parts .... this could solve my problem ....
    thanks

  • Flash player never finishes

    I have a fresh install of Windows Media Center with all MS
    updates including SP2. I also have IE 7 with all updates. I do the
    web install of Flash player and it never finishes. It just keeps
    showing the F image and the moving bar for hours at a time.
    I have reviewed the Active X settings and fixed them per
    Adobe instructions. I have cleared cache, etc. from IE many times.
    I have rebooted. I have tried the install several times - no luck
    when I go to a page with Flash - it says "need Flash player."
    I followed all the instructions per Adobe including uninstall
    and reinstall that never finishes.

    Ok I encountered this problem trying to play a Neopets game
    today. This is how I went about fixing it:
    My initial problem was when I opened the game it told me I
    needed to update my flash player. While on the game page and after
    downloading the file from the shockwave page two identical pop ups
    said I needed an activex control on the webpage. I found a post on
    another message board that said to get rid of that problem you had
    to unistall Windows Update 912945 or temporarily disable it. The
    post led me to download this Compatibility Patch for Internet
    Explorer for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB917425)
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B7D9801B-4FB5-492E-903E-3400ABF1D 731&displaylang=en
    and got rid of problem one.
    Once I could load the game I got the exact error that you two
    had. I then went in and redownloaded the update for which that
    patch was intended to temporarily nullify.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KB912945
    That update was revised on 5/2/06 and after re-installing it I can
    now play my game.

  • TS3694 i tried to sync my iphone4, propted to download(ios6) clicked yes , when finished it said there was an error.   itunes is telling me to retore phone- I have photos of my newborn that never transfered- HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    i tried to sync my iphone4 and itunes told me to download the newest softwear  When it finished downloading i got an error msg  now when i connect back to itunes it tells me i need to restore my phone to original settings  BUT  I have photos of my newborn that never syncd   how do i get them off my phone?

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Firefox just updated and now when I try to look at the pictures that have been downloaded it starts loading a welcome site, but never finishes. I do not know what is going on.

    I have some pictures that were downloaded from some emails. I was on AOL thru Firefox, when there was an upgrade. Allowed the upgrade & restarted. When I went back thru Firefox onto Yahoo.com to my mail site and then opened pictures it started going to somewhere that starts with: http://us.mc1801.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?.partner
    It just keeps circling a green arrow like it is trying to load but nothing happens. I have tried several restarts and it does the same thing. As I type this the green arrow is still working. Do I need to call AOL support or what? Thanks Alice

  • Hello everyone!  I am having issues with my MacBook Pro early 2011 13 in.  When I boot up it starts to boot up and never finishes.  The screen just continues to have the apple and spinning circle on it.  Any recommendations?

    When restarting my computer the screen is freezing on the apple and spinning icon.  It never finishes booting.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • HT1373 I have a new Ipad with retina display but two issues with itunes 1) I can not syncronize films&music with the library on my mac and 2) When I download music or films from itunes to my ipad from itunes store the download never finishes. Any help??

    I have a two problems with my new Ipad 2 operating system iOS 6.1.3
    1) I can not syncronize with my itunes purchaces that I have on my mac book pro (operating system mountain lion)
    2) When i purchase items from itunes store the downloads never finishes
    I have tried starting and re-starting. Resetting the Ipad to original settings and non of this have worked. Any idea to what I should do?
    Thanks a lot, Josephine

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

    I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it.  I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer.  When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere.  How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.
