IMac Harware Test runs for hours, repairpermission too

My iMac G5 started having failures last year already. So I first ran Disk Warrior and everything turned out well for a while. But now, the system started showing the endless rotating whell when booting, and I could not do an Archive and Install. So I diagnosed a HD failure and bought a new HD.
I reinstalled everything via Carbon Copy Cloner and did and Archive and Install. But obviously the permissions were wrong and Disk Util took ages trying to repait them. So I decided to boot in Single User Mode and tried to run Applejack wich also seemed to step on the spot after finding some "bad Alloc[157]...etc". So I threw in Apple Hardwae Test and ran a full checkup and as it turns out, it gets stuck when checking the RAM, so I stopped it after 1 hour.
Does anybody have a clue of what might be wrong? How shall I determine what is rong when Hardware Test stops in the middle? Is it the RAM? How should I find out?

Hello,
You re absolutely right. I did too many things at the
same time.
Yes, repairs and trouble-shooting need to be done systematically. And, it needs to be done with tools appropriate to the task.
Using one tool to do this, and then another tool to fix the first tools mistakes, and then jumping to another one just doesn't work well.
I finally reinstalled the system and tomorrow, while
I'm at work,
Yes, that will be the way to go.
You should consider that while you are at work, the system will be sitting there completed. So, if your fans run full speed while in the diagnostic test (I cannot remember for sure if they did or not on my system), then they will continue to do so until you come back.
I don't know if I'd leave the computer there for 8 hours with fans at full speed and the screen unmoving on maximum brightness. That just doesn't sound ideal to me.
I think perhaps I'd demonstrate exactly what you want done to your wife (or someone else if someone else is home), and request them to do that for you to get the machine up and running for you about 2 and a half hours before you get home.
I'll have Hardware Test running at home.
I was just quite exasperated because Hardware Test
said it would take about 15 Min, so after an hour, I
thought it was stuck.
That's understandable.
I promise to be a goob boy now and stop thinking my
Mac was a box of Lego where I can unbuild and rebuild
everything like I please.
Yes. Computers don't like that
Let us know how it works out.

Repair Permissions runs for hours

Following an update from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10, I find that when I use the Disk Utility to repair permissions, it runs for hours, seemingly repairing every one of the 680,000 files on the iMac. If I reboot, and repair permissions again, it begins the same long process all over again. Should I re-install Yosemite from an online source?

Does the last line of output say that permission repair completed successfully? If so, what you see is normal. Repairing permissions is a waste of time and always produces reams of meaningless warnings.

Discoverer report running for hours

Hi,
One of the custom discoverer report (based on custom SQL) is running for hours.
When U ran the query for the respective folder, the results were returned in few seconds.
Hence, data size is not an issue. How can I identify the cause and solve it?
Thanks,
Kamath.

Hello
If you dont need to run the report urgently then you can always schedule it to run the background till it is finished.
First log into desktop. Select tools > options > query governor tab. Make sure only radio button named "Never" is ticked. Leave all other options empty / not ticked. Click OK when ur done.
Then go to File > Manage Workbooks > Scheduling Manager > Schedule.... button then choose either My Computer or Database depending on where your report is stored. Scroll down and find your report. Enter a time and date that you want to start running the report. When you are done click Finish button. Normally the report would run for an hour or till it is complete. But it won't bomb out.
After 2 hours or even the next morning go to File > Manage workbooks > then look for your report > if it has run successfully then the status column would return something positive like "completed successfully". just double click your report and your are done....
It works for me if i need to run one of my reports. but that is only if your not in a rush to run your report
Hope it helps

How to Use synchronous RFC calls during test run for remote accesses

there is a Setting for the usage of RFC accesses from a tested system
using eCATT.
'X' - Use asynchronous RFC calls during test run for remote accesses
' ' - Use synchronous RFC calls during test run for remote accesses
I developed an eCATT as following :
SAPGUI ( SAPGUI_1 , Target_system_1 ).
SAPGUI ( SAPGUI_2 , Target_system_2 ).
My question is how to run the eCATT in a synchronous RFC calls
PS: I do not want to change the Target_system to the same one in the
above script of ecatt.Because I need to run it in 2 different Target
systems sometime.
for example, I give a Target_system_3 when run this eCATT
I want the SAPGUI_1 and SAPGUI_2 run the Target_system_3 but not the
Target_system_1 or Target_system_2 .
Could you please tell me how to make it without the changes in script?

This is the standard option value. Asynchronous are not the standard way and used only for very special purposes.

The commands will be executed in sequence. So each call will be synchronously replayed against TS1 and TS2.
What is you issue with this standard procedure?

It would be a great idea to uninstall Norton - you don't need it and it has a pretty poor reputation for mucking up otherwise healthy Macs.
Have a look at this User Tip from klaus1: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
To uninstall Norton:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Edit: To see whether you actually have Norton installed launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. If it's installed you'll likely see some Norton entries there.
Also, in System Preferences>Users & Groups or Accounts, depending on OS)>Login Items, it might be listed.

EPM System Configurator runs for hours

Hi experts.
Have you ever experienced that your EPM system configurator runs for hours?
I have an 11.1.2.1 installation, and a few months ago, I applied a Reporting & Analysis patch which requires a redeploy of FR, framework and web analysis.
The redeployment took more than 1 hour 20 minutes when it usually takes around 10 minutes.

I checked the CPU and memory log at the time of the deployment, things seem to be normal.
Since i will be applying another patch on Reporting & Analysis soon, I am preparing the work plan and rundowns and I am trying to estimate how much time I need to do this patch.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I did some researches on my own and found out some article saying the following:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-tips-issues-73-up-399995.pdf
On page 103, it says something about the cluster or IPv6 problem. I don't think the IPv6 is our problem, and I couldn't find the log inside of my configtool log.
Thank you.

If it only happened once and then all the other occasions it was fine then what is to say it will happen again? I am not sure how easily you are going to find your answer to why it happened on that occasion, I know I was deploying a web application the other day and it took 30 mins when it should only take a few but this was on a shared vm infrastructure which could have been the cause.
Cheers

This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.

I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Assembly running for hours

Hi All,
We are facing a peculiar problem here.We had some activities(that were checked in,activated and released)which were to be transported using NWDI.We did an "Import" in the Consolidation tab,and the activities moved into the Assembly tab.
We did an "Assemble Components" then and while the activities were getting assembled(Status was shown as "Assembly Running"),there was a problem with the server and it had to be rebooted.
Even after the reboot,the activities showed the status as "Assembly Running".The activites have been running for many hours now.We tried restarting the server again but find the assembly still running.
We found the following error log[in http://<hostname>:port/nwa link] on the server:
User Guest, IP address HTTP request processing failed. HTTP error [401] will be returned. The error is [Cannot authenticate the user.No details available].
And the following warning message:
Caught java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:336)... [see details]
Kindly help us with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shalini

Hi Shalini,
if the server was rebooted during assembly the assembly is not really running anymore. Usually it is just the CMS WebUI that still hangs in that state.
There should be a "Reset" button in the assembly pane where you reset and then restart assembly.

Marc

Test run for IW31

Hi Experts,
We are using BDC file for creating work orders in IW31.While creating orders,if we face any error in between the process, system will not allow further processing.but order will be generated for the remaining equipments.Can we provide any test run option in IW31 so that we can find out the error before generating work order.
If no errors are there in process,then we need to upload the data.
Can any one provide me some valuable inputs?
Regards,
Sibinraj

Hi Sibinraj,
As mentioned and suggested your technical team can achieve this, You can ask your technical team to work in below steps as
1. All the pre-checks need to performed .
2. After the pre-checks a log is produced with complete results.
3. If at any stage an Abort type error is encountered the log is updated as such but the checks are continued.
4. After output of the log the load is aborted (prevented) by the system.
5. If no Abort level error is encountered the user is still given the opportunity to manually abort after evaluation of the load-log.
NOTE: In each case write the result as welwell as the state to the log.
Once The successful Logs identified, User can go for actual run.
Hope this will guide your technical team to meet your requirement.

BAPI CHECK/Test Run for BAPI_ACC_ACT_POSTINGS_REVERSE

Dear experts,
For some FICO BAPI, there is another separate check BAPI for test run. For example:
- BAPI_ACC_ACTIVITY_ALLOC_POST & BAPI_ACC_ACTIVITY_ALLOC_CHECK
- BAPI_ACC_MANUAL_ALLOC_POST & BAPI_ACC_MANUAL_ALLOC_CHECK
The POST & CHECK BAPIs both take the same input parameter only that the CHECK BAPI does not return any document number.
I've been trying to find the CHECK BAPI version for BAPI_ACC_ACT_POSTINGS_REVERSE and I couldn't find one.
I want to confirm here: Is there such a CHECK BAPI for BAPI_ACC_ACT_POSTINGS_REVERSE?
Thank you,
Suwandi C.

Hello
For cancel document you may use FM BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE instead of BAPI_GOODSMVT_CANCEL.
In BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE you must pass GM_Code = '06' for reversal of goods movements and run in test mode.
Read documentation for this FM.

MRP Run for Hourly basis in MD61 Transaction

Hi All,
I want to Run MRP for Hourly basis in MD61 Transaction
If the user selects the Planning period as Hourly then in the next screen for Table Tab , 24 columns should be appear.
Please give the solution.
Thanks
Ulhas

Dear Vijesh,
according to scenario described , the correct strategy to use il strategy 40 as corretly suggest also kiran.
After create planning forecast through MD61 you can create immediately active you plan and after the system also before to run MRP planning will see the requirmenet ( Pir ) and it will work according to new sales order.
Sales order are going to reduce Planned indipendent requirement until to arrive zero quantity in MD04 (situation in with will there are only sales orders).
This information is avalible to standard SAP also in tcode MD73 but only with limited selection (qty assign)
You can use also Fm to read MRP situation in order to have a control report so that to monitorig the % of sales order and the planned indipendent requirement.
Let me know if i have been useful for you..

McAfee runs for hours and hours

My PC is old so this may be the problem but any help would be appreciated. Broadband check shows acceptable levels. Don't get thousands of emails and am good at file managing. Don't have graphic packages or games running but do have lots of photos. Since changing from AVG to McAfee this virus checker can literally run for 12 hours or more which slows down absolutely everything that I want to do so I is not an effective option and really frustrating. Automatic Updates are on and at the moment have changed virus check from weekly to daily to see if this speeds things up. Any tips?

Firefox keeps prompting an update, but can't complete it. It gets stuck on "Connecting to the Server" and runs for hours until I stop it. Help!

I have a Mac OS X ver. 10.5.8 and I've used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?) ago. The most recent update for both Firefox and Thunderbird keeps prompting me, but when I say "yes" to update, a bar appears with lines moving through it and it says, "Connecting to the update Server" but it never gets any farther. I've left it for hours at a time and it won't actually update either program.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
