Improve Indesign performance with a huge number of links?

Hi all,
I am working on a poster infographic with a huge number of links, specifically around 4500. I am looking to use indesign over illustrator for the object styles (vs graphic styles in illustrator) and for the interactive capacity.
The issue I am having is indesign's performance with this many links. My computer is not maxed out on resources when indesign is going full power, but indesign is still very slow.
So far, here are the things I have tried:
Display performance to fast
Switching from link AI files to SVGs
Turning off preflight
Turning off live-draw
Turning off save preview
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to speed up indesign! See below system specs
Lenovo w520
8GB DDR3 @1333mhz
nVidia 2000M, 2GB GDDR
Intel Core i7 2760QM @ 2.4GHz
240GB Samsung 840 SSD
Adobe CS6
Windows 8
The only other thing I can think to try is to break up the poster into multiple pages/docs and then combine it later, but this is not ideal. Thank you all for your time.
Cheers,
Dylan Halpern

I am not a systems expert, but I wonder if you were to hide the links, and keep InDesign from accessing them that it might help. Truly just guessing.
Package the file so all the graphics are in a single folder. Then set the File Handling Preferences so InDesign doesn't yell at you when it can't find the links.
Then quit InDesign and move the folder to a new place. Then reopen InDesign. The preview of the graphics will suck, but it might help. And one more thing, close the Links panel.

Performance issue fetching huge number of record with "FOR ALL ENTRIES"

Hello,
We need to extract an huge amount of data (about 1.000.000 records) from VBEP table, which overall dimension is about 120 milions records.
We actually use this statements:
CHECK NOT ( it_massive_vbep[] IS INITIAL ) .
SELECT (list of fields) FROM vbep JOIN vbap
             ON vbepvbeln = vbapvbeln AND
              vbepposnr = vbapposnr
             INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF w_sched
             FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_massive_vbep
             WHERE    vbep~vbeln   = it_massive_vbep-tabkey-vbeln
                AND    vbep~posnr   = it_massive_vbep-tabkey-posnr
                AND    vbep~etenr   = it_massive_vbep-tabkey-etenr.
notice that internal table it_massive_vbep contains always records with fully specified key.
Do you think this query could be further optimized?
many thanks,
-Enrico

the are 2 option to improve performance:
+ you should work in blocks of 10.000 to 50.000
+ you should check archiving options, does this really make sense
> VBEP table, which overall dimension is about 120 milions records.
it_massive_vbep into it_vbep_notsomassive (it_vbep_2)
CHECK NOT ( it_vbep_2[] IS INITIAL ) .
get runtime field start.
SELECT (+list of fields+)
              INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE w_sched
              FROM vbep JOIN vbap
              ON vbep~vbeln = vbap~vbeln AND
                   vbep~posnr = vbap~posnr
              FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbep_2
              WHERE vbep~vbeln = it_vbep_2-vbeln
              AND      vbep~posnr = it_vbep_2-posnr
              AND      vbep~etenr = it_vbep_2-etenr.
get runtime field stop.
t = stop - start.
write: / t.
Be aware that even 10.000 will take some time.
Other question, how did you get the 1.000.000 records in it_massive_vbep. They are not typed in, but somehow select.
Change the FAE into a JOIN and it will be much faster.

Improve Portal performance with BI-Java by adding additional server node.

Hi SAP Expert
I wonder anyone might have attempted this before,
In an environment with BI-Java and Portal Java stack installed on the same server, is it possible to improve the system performance by adding additional portal server node? or is there any improvement seen by adding the extra server node?
I am after suggestion and experience on how the portal performance can be improve, with consideration of BI-Java sharing Portal resources.
Any comment will be most appreciated.

Hi Jim,
We've this configuration at our site, Portal and BI running together (not federated). Recommendations would be to:
1. Set a sensibly large max heap size on each server node of Portal (at least 2GB if not larger) and implement several nodes at least. For example we have 4 x physical nodes, each running 3 server nodes of 2GB max heap size apiece so a total of 12 nodes.
2. Implement the BI Safety Belt for large results sets (1127156)
3. Implement the latest JVM / JDK you can on your environment. We found much improved performance after implementing JDK SR10 with the J9/2.3 options enabled e.g., -Xjvm:j9vm23
-Xsoftrefthreshold0
4. Patch your BI components on the Portal (BIBASES, BIWEBAPP etc) to the latest available patch level for your Portal SP level
5. Make sure all your RFC connections are load balanced to the backend and tuned for the kind of load you expect on your reports, and the BI is sized appropriately in terms of app servers and dialog work processes, RFC-enabled login groups in SMLG etc.
6. Consult notes 1048691 (especially useful, opions &PROFILING=X&TRACE=X added to reports for example for performance tracing), 937697, 1021921, 948158 for information about problem analysis for this scenario
7. Implement SAP Web Dispatcher for Portal to reduce load on static mime files
8. Tune the Portal application. There's plenty information on SDN related to Portal performance tuning.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Marc

How can we improve query performance with out indexes?

Hello Experts,
I have a problem with table(calc) which contain 3 crore records and table doesn't have index, on that table one of the view(View_A) created.
When i use the view in below query SELECT count(*)
FROM
Table A INNER JOIN Table B ON (A.a=B.b)
LEFT OUTER JOIN View_A ON ( Table A.a=View_A.a)
LEFT OUTER JOIN View_B ON (Table A.a=View_B.a)
In above query View_A is causing the problem, view_A is created on Calc table. One more thing when i execute select statement on the view it was running fine.
With out View_A query fetching data fine. Update stats of the table also fine. When i run cost plan for scanning only cost % is 90.
Can any help me please?.
Thank you all.
Regards,
Jason.

Jason,
Not sure what you are trying to do. But outer joins are bad for performance. So try to avoid them.
You also say that you have a view on a calc table. What are you calculating? Are you using user defined functions maybe?

Problem with opening a number of links in new tabs quickly

Whenever I try to open, say, two or three links one after the other in a new tab, all the new tabs tend to end up opening the same link, the very first one. Is this just a bug in FF5, or is this some weird thing I can fix?

why not just use bookmarklets?
http://www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-iphone/
It will allow you to open each page in a new tab, or window.
I agree the feature should be built into the browser because going back to the page you were on, is just as slow as loading the page from the net. (probably cause it is)

Performance with LinkedList in java

Hello All,
Please suggest me any solution to further improve the performance with List.
The problem description is as follows:
I have a huge number of objects, lets say 10,000 , and need to store the objects in such a collection so that if i want to store an object at some particular index i , I get the best performance.
I suppose as I need indexed based access, using List makes the best sense as Lists are ordered.
Using LinkedList over ArrayList gives the better performance in the aforementioned context.
Is there are way I can further improve the performance of LinkedList while solving this particular problem
OR
Is there any other index based collection using that i get better performance than LinkedList?
Thanks in advance

The trouble with a LinkedList as implemented in the Java libraries is that if you want to insert at index 100, it has no option but to step through the first 100 links of the list to find the insert point. Likewise is you retrieve by index. The strength of the linked list approach is lost if you work by index and the List interface gives no other way to insert in the middle of the list. The natural interface for a linked list would include an extended Iterator with methods for insert and replace. Of course LinkedLists are fine when you insert first or last.
My guess would be that if your habitual insertion point was half way or more through the list then ArrayList would serve you better especially if you leave ample room for growth. Moving array elements up is probably not much more expensive, per element, than walking the linked list. Maybe 150% or thereabouts.
Much depends on how you retrieve, and how volatile the list is. Certainly if you are a read-mostly situation and cannot use an iterator then a LinkedList won't suit.

Query Performance Is "Aggregates" the way out for me?
/people/vikash.agrawal/blog/2006/04/17/query-performance-150-is-aggregates-the-way-out-for-me
° the OLAP cache is architected to store query result sets and to give all users access to those result sets.
If a user executes a query, the result set for that querys request can be stored in the OLAP cache; if that same query (or a derivative) is then executed by another user, the subsequent query request can be filled by accessing the result set already stored in the OLAP cache.
In this way, a query request filled from the OLAP cache is significantly faster than queries that receive their result set from database access
° The indexes that are created in the fact table for each dimension allow you to easily find and select the data
see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6473e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
° when you load data into the InfoCube, each request has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the packet dimension.
This (besides giving the possibility to manage/delete single request) increases the volume of data, and reduces performance in reporting, as the system has to aggregate with the request ID every time you execute a query. Using compressing, you can eliminate these disadvantages, and bring data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).
This function is critical, as the compressed data can no longer be deleted from the InfoCube using its request IDs and, logically, you must be absolutely certain that the data loaded into the InfoCube is correct.
see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/content.htm
° by using partitioning you can split up the whole dataset for an InfoCube into several, smaller, physically independent and redundancy-free units. Thanks to this separation, performance is increased when reporting, or also when deleting data from the InfoCube.
see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/33/dc2038aa3bcd23e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm

Query Performance with Exception aggregation

Hello,
My Query Keyfigures has exception aggregation on order line level as per requirement.
Currently cube holds 5M of records, when we run query its running more than 30min.
We cont remove exception aggregation.
Cube is alredy modeled correctly and we dont want to use the cache.
Does anybody can please advice if there is any other better approach to improve query performance with exception agg?
Thanks

Hi,
We have the same problem and raised an OSS ticket. They replied us with the note 1257455 which offers all ways of improving performance in such cases. I guess there s nothing else to do, but to precalculate this exception aggregated formula in data model via transformations or ABAP.
By the way, cache can not help you in this case since exc. agg. is calculated after cache retrieval.
Hope this helps,
Sunil

The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Performance, minimum bandwidth, thumbnail previews for PDF and InDesign Files with web content viewer

Hi,
We are considering using DPS with a web content viewer for large PDFs and/or InDesign files. The client using a web viewer might have very limited bandwidth (some as low as 256Kbps). We ask:
1 - How well does the web viewer perform with very large PDFs and InDesign files (500 MB+) with limited bandwidth? Does the file stream in chunks and the PDF shows as soon as the first page or two are available, with the rest loading in the background, or does the entire file come down in one part and then shown?
2 - Can PDF and InDesign files support thumbnail previews? For example, one image per PDF page and user can scroll forward and back.
Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The way the web viewer works is that it converts the PDF/InDesign files to PNGs along with additional HTML assets. Assets are downloaded as they’re ready for a given page (e.g. first, page 1 is filled with its assets as they become available, then page 2, etc), so a reader wouldn’t need to wait for the entire article to load. The next few pages are also loaded in the background, so the reader wouldn’t be likely to notice lag as they flipped through pages to the next page after reading the current one. So the lag will depend on the size of an individual page.
For your question around thumbnails, the web viewer does not load a preview image so the reader would need to wait for the assets I described above to load.
Hope this helps...

How to improve Oracle Veridata Compair pair performance with tables that have big (30-40MB)CLOB/BLOB fileds ?

How to improve Oracle Veridata Compair pair performance with tables that have big (30-40MB)CLOB/BLOB fileds ?

Can you use insert .. returning .. so you do not have to select the empty_clob back out.
[I have a similar problem but I do not know the primary key to select on, I am really looking for an atomic insert and fill clob mechanism, somone said you can create a clob fill it and use that in the insert, but I have not seen an example yet.]
