InputErrors on Etherchannel despite low Utilization ???

Hi -
we are observing 0.01% and 0.12% InputErrors on an Etherchannel between a 6500 and a 4500 consisting of 4 (resp. 3) GigaBit Links. We discovered that the Packets were simply droped due to "Rx-No-Pkt-Buff" - We have a PRTG Graph showing a rather low utilization of 3% or less (5 min average) over the whole day or week. Customer experiences disconnect session in his SAP and Mainframe Aplications ...
Anybody any Idea how these errors could come into existance? The counters were cleared a few days ago to confirm this observation ...
The EtherChannel Load-Balancing is src-dst-ip (the default) - an the errors are distributed 15 - 30 % among the 4 ports.
Nothing Suspicious in the Logs - a few OutDiscards on some Ports/Channels to a range of servers.
Regards
Robert

Is nVidia Geforce GT640 good graphics card for PrE10 despite low memory bandwidth?

Can anybody confirm that the nVidia Geforce GT640 is a reasonable graphics card for Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10?
The person who assembled my Core i7 3770K desktop with 16Gb of RAM at 1600mHz installed the nVidia GT640 card with 2Gb of DDR3 memory. He said that this was a good (fairly low cost) card for video editing because it has 384 CUDA cores - very helpful in video editing. I am pretty ignorant about graphics cards, but like the low power usage, 65 watts, and reputed cool operating temperatures. I have since read that DDR5 memory would have been much faster because of greater memory bandwidth - say 80-90Gb per second compared with 28.5Gb per second for the DDR3 memory on the GT640 card. I was after economical power use. DDR5 cards use 110 watts upwards and run much hotter than DDR 3 cards, all other things being equal. The really fast cards require special power units and cooling.
Does anybody know whether limited memory bandwidth is important in video editing? Is speed much more critical in gaming than in video editing? Are other attributes such as 384 CUDA cores, nvenc syncing, dedicated encodment, 28nm Kepler architecture, 2Gb memory frame buffer, 1.3 billion transistors, plenty of texture units - more important than memory bandwidth in video editing? Does bandwidth limited by DDR3 memory affect quality of image?
I read that the GT640 would be much faster (producing better image quality?) than the HD4000 integrated Intel graphics of the Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor. Is this so?
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and all programs are installed on a 120Gb OCZ Agility 3 solid state drive. My data drive is a 1Tb Seagate SATA 3 at 7200 RPM. I have a beautiful 21 inch ASUS vs228n LED monitor and LG blu-ray burner.
I did lots of editing with PrE 3 with a Dell 3.06 gHz hyperthreading desktop and Win XP. The output and even the preview monitoring was clear and stable. I am still capturing standard definition mini dv tape by firewire from a 3MOS Panasonic handycam, but plan to upgrade to HD 3MOS with flash memory. I make the preview monitor really small - about 7cm wide - in PR10, because the quality of the preview picture is much poorer than the quality that I experienced with the Premiere Elements 3 program with Win XP. Is this just an indication of memory-saving in PrE 10 previews? I expect output to be much superior, although still mpeg2-DVD quality until I upgrade my camera. I have set rendering on maximum bitrate.
Anyway, despite these reservations with preview quality, the GT640 seems to be performing fine. Picture quality in Photoshop, online and elsewhere on my computer is excellent.
I updated the nVidia display driver only yesterday to version 306.23.
Nearly all graphics cards forums are about gaming. I hope to see more forums about graphics in editing here.
What do you think of the 2Gb nVidia GT640 for editing with PrE 10 and Photoshop Elements 10? What would you say about picture quality in the PrE 10 monitor versus quality of output? Was picture quality in the PrE 3 monitor sharper and more stable, as I imagine?

Sheltie,
Thank you for the kind words. We all work very hard to help others with video-editing. Some of us also show up on other Adobe forums, depending on the products that we use most often.
Besides helping out, I also find that I learn something new every day, even about programs that I have used for decades. Heck, I just learned something new about PrE vs PrPro (my main NLE program), when I went to try and help a user. I probably actually use PrE more to test my theories, or to replicate a user's problem, than I do to actually edit my videos. Still, when applicable, I do real work in the program.
With about a dozen "regulars" here, if one of us is not around, several more usually are. Personally, I do not understand how Steve Grisetti and John T. can dedicate so very much time here. Steve is a noted author of books on PrE, PSE, Sony DVD Architect, and others, plus helps run a video/photography Web site, Muvipix.com, that is very active, and has so very much to offer. John T. is always under the watchful eye of The JobJarQueen, and gets dragged, kicking and screaming, out into the yard, or up on his roof, so can be gone for a bit.
Neale usually beats us all, since he's in the UK, and normally answers all the questions, that come in too late for us to see. He is also a PrE power-user, so beats me hands down.
I travel a great deal, but no one ever misses me. Was supposed to do a trip to Sydney last Dec., but had to cancel. Have not gotten details on the reschedule of that trip, but it would have been my first jaunt south of the Equator. Gotta' make that happen.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Low utilization factor and cleaner always running.

Hello,
We are trying to create a database with 2.5M entries and avg key size of 34 bytes, avg value size of 55 bytes, which means around 225 MB of data.
We are using 5.0.55 and 4 cleaner threads.
Initially we had a MAX log file size of 128MB, node Max entries = 512 and minimum utilization factor = 75%. After the initial load we had around 1GB of data and noticed that the cleaner was constantly running (new files being created all the time).
We have two questions:
a) Why is the utilization factor so low (~20%)?
b) Why the cleaner is not able to detect that it will not be able to shrink the database further? We tried the same test with 4.0.92 and it stopped after a few cleans (the utilization factor was not much better).
We also tried with MAX log file size = 16MB and node Max entries = 128 (in separate tests) and the first one made the data go down to ~650 MB but the cleaner is still running all the time.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Diego

Hi Diego,
What you're JE cache size, compared to what DbCacheSize says it should be to hold all the internal nodes?

Keep or close low credit line cards

I have been rebounding from a BK in June of 2013 and I have opened 3 low credit line, higher interest rate and AF cards. Through on time payments and keeping a low utilization with my 3 Capital One cards, I now have limits of 1250.00 on my secured card, 2,300.00 on my Sony card and 1750.00 on my Quicksilver One card. My question is, should I pay off my sub prime cards and sockdrawer them then cancel them before the AF hits or just go ahead and pay them off and cancel them now? The combined limits between the 3 cards is 1,500.

Pay them off, SD them, and close before the AFs hit again. In regards to scoring, it's ideal to have zero balances on at least half of your CCs.

The Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide

Note: while this was at one time the correct guide, recent changes in policy have changed. There will be updated information coming soon. One of the most popular topics of discussion on the forum is the American Express 3X CLI. Here is a small guide I put together to alleviate some misconceptions based on personal experiences and discussions here and other boards. Please feel free to suggest modifications or enhancements. Please don't copy/paste the information to other boards. Linking here is fine.
What is the 3X CLI?
=========================================================== American Express is one of the most sought after credit cards in the market. They are also typically one of more generous companies with respect to credit limits outside of the credit unions. For folks who do not qualify for NFCU and other credit unions known to issue high credit limits despite low FICO scores and or moderate credit history, the best way to get high(er) CLs is to first get accepted into American Express and then apply for an increased credit limit upto 3 times the existing approved limit after a certain minimum number of days have passed (discussed in details below). This really comes in handy when the initial approved limit is on the lower side (example $2,000) due to internal American Express risk score models, mostly for folks starting out in their credit journey or with other risky credit/income factors. After completing the "60" day magic number of the account being open and in good standing, one can request an increased credit limit upto 3X the initial limit starting with the 61st day, meaning someone who got approved for $2,000 could request that the new credit limit be $2,000 x 3 = $6,000, someone who got approved for $3,000 initially could request the new credit limit be $3,000 x 3 = $9,000 and so on.  Why is the 3X CLI Important?
=========================================================== Credit Utilization is one of the most important components of the FICO score (30% per official wording from FICO).Given the same amount of spending, with higher available credit, utilization is lower and hence FICO scores are higher. But more importantly this is a gateway to getting approved for other prime cards/rewards cards like Visa Signature, MasterCard World, points, cashback etc offered by various lenders like Chase, Citi, BoA, US Bank etc who typically issue them if they see an existing high limit card. Higher limits from one lender attracts higher limits from others up until the overall available credit reaches a certain threshold. No other lender is known to have a 3X CLI policy and that too as early as the 61st day. One may be able to procure a CLI from other lenders but typically it is a hard inquiry or sometimes flat out denial because the account is considered too new. Amex is the only lender that offers this. More recently though GEMB issued credit cards are also known to get generous increases (sometimes even > 3X initial limits) via a Soft Pull. This policy is relatively new but widely reported to be successful across different boards.  Is the 3X CLI automatic or guaranteed?
=========================================================== Most definitely not. The components factored into a CLI approval or denial are not published but widely accepted to be similar to the FICO models. Amex also asks for income and rent during the CLI request process. Other factors remaining same, chances of a CLI approval are higher if the account has always been in good standing e.g lower utilization, low risk spending patterns, on time payments etc. The 3X CLI request has to be manually initiated by the account holder after becoming eligible.
Will there be a hard inquiry when requesting 3X CLI?
===========================================================
Fortunately not. American Express initiates soft pulls on Experian throughout the life of an open account with random frequency. During the first 60 days, it is not uncommon for Amex to have soft pulled at least 3-4 times. The CLI approval or denial will be based on the last soft pull before the CLI request and other factors like income/rent etc. A new hard pull or soft pull is not initiated when requesting the 3X CLI. If in doubt, get a copy of your Experian report and see when Amex issued a soft pull to gauge account statistics at that snapshot and request CLI accordingly. Post 186 explains how to get your experian report and check for soft pulls. If there are concerns that the overall utilization or Amex utilization was high during the last soft pull, it might be worth waiting a few more days and then applying for CLI after Amex has issued a new soft pull.
When does an acccount become eligible for CLI?
=========================================================== Amex does NOT increase an account's credit limit during the first 60 days after it has been OPENED, or for at least 6 months from the last credit limit increase. The key word here is OPENED aka the account creation date. There are a few ways to find out the exact date the account was opened. a) Call the number on the back of the card and simply ask the friendly customer service rep. There is nothing to be worried about here or get nervous. You are not asking for a CLI to the rep, but simply the day the account was opened. This can be done during card activation itself or any point later. Some friendly CSRs will also calculate and mention the first eligible date for CLI (61st day since account opening). If they are not aware of the first eligible date, simply ask for account opening/creation date and calculate it yourself. b) "Date Opened" field on your Equifax or TransUnion credit report. Both EQ and TU report the account opened day and month accurately (Equifax started doing this recently). 3rd party credit pullers may or maynot pull the date opened field accurately, the official credit reports are the only reliable source. It is important to note that the year field in "Date Opened" is affected by your American Express Member Since date, so may not reflect the year the card was originally opened. The only downside is one has to wait for the card to report to EQ and TU first, but Amex is usually very prompt to report.
c) Before the first statement has been cut, the account opened date is reflected under the Recent Charges field next to the "Since". Example in this pic, the account opened date is Jan 08. The "Since" field changes every statement period as it starts tracking the spending for that statement, so it is a good idea to get the account open date information using this method as early as possible. Existing Amex card members with an online profile are at an advantage to use this method because any new approved cards show in the profile before the card has been delivered physically, displaying several key account details like the account open date, first statement closing date, last 5 digits of card etc. First time Amex card members should try to setup the online profile as early as possible after physically receiving the card(s) to take advantage of this method as the first statement can sometimes close very soon after receiving the card(s).
Example calculation of 1st eligibility date taking the above screenshot as an example (Account opened : 01/08/2013). The account will complete 60 days on March 9, 2013 based on the following calculations:
Number of days by January 31 : 23
Number of days by February 28 : 28
Number of days by March 9 : 9
Total days open by March 9 : 60 In this example the first eligible date for CLI is March 10, provided there have been no other CLIs for any other accounts in the last 6 months, as the 60 days are completed by March 9th,  A better and easier way to calculate Amex milestones has been explained in Post 227. Using the time and date calculator, we see the same result that we got from the manual calculation above.
How to request the CLI?
=========================================================== a) Calling the number on the back of the card. The number is unique to each credit product and is automated. Usually the option to request a credit limit increase is option #4 or #5, or if you are comfortable a CSR can take the application and let you know approval/denial once they submit. If you are denied, they may not be able to give the specific reason and you have to wait for an email or a letter in the mail outlining the reasons. b) Logging into your account. Click on "Profile and Preferences -> More Options -> Manage Credit Limit" under Account Management.  It is also available by clicking "Manage My Account"(Toggled to "HIDE ACCOUNT OPTIONS" in the pic below) next to the "Outstanding Balance/Available Credit" on main page    In both cases you want to request the new credit limit itself (e.g $6,000 if initial limit is $2,000). Don't calculate the increase ($6.000 - $2,000 = $4,000) yourself and mention it.
What happens if you are denied CLI?
=========================================================== If you jumped the gun before the 60 days/6 months rule, the reason for denial is considered ineligibility. If that is the case you can reapply after the original and correct 60day/6month timeline. You do not have to wait an additional 90 days, so the clock doesn't get reset. If you were eligible and got denied due to other factors, then you are ineligible to reapply for another 90 days since the denial date. If you get the message after requesting CLI, that a decision will be mailed within 7-10 days, it most likely means that the CLI has been denied. There is an outside chance that the letter that comes from Amex may ask for a signed 4506T in order to give further consideration to the CLI request(details below) but in 99% of the cases it is a letter outlining the reasons for denial. It also provides the true FICO score from the bureau that was used in the decision making process. Most of the time it is Experian FICO, but Amex is known to use EQ and or TU in rare circumstances. Sometimes the reason(s) for denial is also sent via email immediately after the CLI request in addition to the letter in mail. Update 06/23/2013 : Lately there have been reports of approvals in emails within a 24 hr period after initially getting the 7-10 day message. The 7-10 day message indicates manual review and there has been a report of successful partial CLI after talking to CSR post 7-10 day message as well in Post 182  Can you request 3X CLI again after 6 months since last CLI?
=========================================================== Absolutely. There have been lots of success stories where people have gone from $2,000 to $6,000 to $18,000 because their income and credit profile supported the increase request. It is generally tougher to get the full 3X CLI after 6 months on the same account since the first CLI however. Even if a 3X CLI is requested, Amex may counter offer a partial increase which you can choose to accept or refuse. It is a good idea to not short change yourself and ask for a partial increase from the beginning because Amex system is smart enough to offer and approve a partial CLI if eligible. Amex may request documentation to support a CLI to a CL above $25K, including a request for a 4506T. Accounts are not suspended, nothing is mandatory. They may ask for documents, and if you don't present them, they may deny the CLI. More details below.  Additional Documentation/4506T for certain CLI Requests
=========================================================== For certain CLI requests, Amex sends a letter requesting a signed 4506T from the card holder. Amex can then obtain tax return transcripts from IRS in order to verify income. Here is a sample tax return transcript which shows what kind of information can be obtained via a signed 4506T. A tax return transcript has far more details than just income and hence is considered very intrusive by many. If Amex does not receive the signed 4506T within 30 days from the date on the letter, then no further consideration is given to the CLI request and a letter of denial is sent. No CLI can be requested for 90 days from the date in the denial letter. Sending back the signed 4506T also doesn't guarantee a CLI approval as Amex will also evaluate the usual credit factors via soft pulls on Experian in addition to income verification. Income to overall credit available across all accounts(amex and non-amex) is one of the key factors for Amex Internal Risk Score. Lower risk score improves chances of getting approved for the CLI. The following often (but not always) are potential reasons why Amex asks for 4506T for a CLI request.  New requested credit limit exceeds $25,000 for that particular account.New requested credit limit would make overall credit extended across all Amex revolving accounts exceed $34,500 (post 123)High internal risk score due to income on file to overall credit across amex and non-amex accounts ratio being too low.Unusual/large/manufactured/risky spending patterns. It is important to note that this whole process,although inconvenient/complicated/intrusive, is different from the dreaded Amex Financial Review. During an Amex FR, all accounts are suspended and sending back the signed 4506T is mandatory in order to be considered for lifting the suspension. For business accounts, even more documentation is required during an FR. Also an FR can happen at any time and not necessarily after requesting an increase in credit limit.    Some generic Amex CLI Guidelines
=========================================================== Requesting CLI > 3X current limit results in automatic denial. Letter in the mail indicates that credit limit cannot be greater than three times the current limit. So American Amex credit limits are capped at 200% increase. Update: Requesting CLI > 3X no longer results in automatic denial. If the account is eligible for CLI, then new limit is counter offered keeping the 200% cap in effect(meaning CLI counter offered will not exceed 3X current limit under any scenario)Canadian Amex are capped at 50% increase every 6 months (Post 45)Minimum 6 month since last CLI rule applies across ALL accounts held by an individual and includes both personal & business accounts for the same person. So if CLI was successful on a personal account, no CLI can be approved on all other personal and business accounts for the same person for a period of 6 more months. (Posts 5 and 6 of the AmEx 61 day CLI result: 7-10 day written response thread)Credit limits can be moved between accounts only after the completion of 13 statements cycles on both the donor account. Post 170 explains how to move limits between Amex cards. Additionally limits cannot be moved between personal and business cards as mentioned in Post 171 Moving credit limits doesn't reset the 6 month clock and is a backdoor to receiving CLI on same account twice within 6 months (Post 128)"6 months" timeline used in context of this guide actually is 180 days to be more precise (not 6 calendar months)

To me this looks like file 61 could be compacted out.
In a separate program, I try to clean/compact it.
               props.put("je.log.fileMax", "1000000");
               props.put("je.cleaner.minUtilization", "90");
               props.put("je.cleaner.minFileUtilization", "5");
               props.put("je.cleaner.minAge", "1");
               props.put("je.cleaner.readSize", "64000000");
               props.put("je.cleaner.lookAheadCacheSize", "64000");
               props.put("je.maxMemory", "64000000");
followed by open and do something like this
boolean anyCleaned = false;
while (bdbEnv.cleanLog() > 0) {
anyCleaned = true;
if (anyCleaned) {
CheckpointConfig force = new CheckpointConfig();
force.setForce(true);
bdbEnv.checkpoint(force);
cleanLog() does not indicate that anything can be cleaned.
If I force it with this property (bad practice), it does clean up and create 2 nicely compacted 30M files.
props.put("je.cleaner.forceCleanFiles", "0-1000");
I have the following questions
1) How can I get it to clean without forcing it? I am okay with extra resources to be used in cleaning it, because we have a set of files produced every hour that we never write to again, so once they are produced, I can spend some time on compacting/cleaning them for good. I can see that we are using 50% more space here, and that would be fine, but I did specify je.cleaner.minFileUtilization to be 5% so empty files should be removed.
2) I also thought that setting je.log.fileMax would create files that are no more than 10M, but I am getting files that are 33M for some reason. The BDBs were created using same set of parameters.
We are using 3.3.75 version. There is a newer version, but release notes do not make me think that this is going to be affected.
P.S. We actually have a support contract, but I thought I'd post here first. We use BDB quite a lot in our large scale distributed system.

Emile and I resolved this over email and I'd like to let everyone else know what happened, for the record and in case you run into it.
This is a case where there is only one JE log file that has low utilization and needs cleaning -- all other log files have high utilization. A separate program is run that calls Environment.cleanLog and checkpoint in order to force the cleaning to occur. It closes the environment immediately after performing the cleaning.
Here's what happened. File 61 is the file that needs cleaning.
1. When the environment is opened, the built-in log cleaner daemon thread starts. It determines that log cleaning is needed, so it selects file 61 and starts cleaning it.
2. Then the app calls cleanLog, which returns 0 because there are no files to be cleaned. File 61 is already being cleaned by the daemon thread.
3. The app very quickly finishes and closes the environment, which aborts any log cleaning that is in progress. The cleaning of file 61 in the daemon thread is aborted.
This is solved by disabling the cleaner daemon thread during the batch cleaning process. This is done by setting
je.env.runCleaner=false
in je.properties. You can also use EnviornmentConfig.ENV_RUN_CLEANER with EnvironmentConfig.setConfigParam.
We'll add a note to the documentation of the cleanLog method about this.
Emile, thanks for reporting this and working with me on it.

Fixing Payment History

Hello - Helping a friend with her credit. Her FICO score hovers around a 550. She unfortunately was late for six student loan payments in 2013/14 (appears to be 90 days late). Prior to this, she had little to no credit history. So what's there is "bad" aside from two years of on-time car payments (obtained w/ the help of a co-signer) I helped her obtain a secured credit card a few months ago. Low utilization on that (14%). No derogatory marks. On-time payments for that. Low average age of credit history (3 years). Only 1 or 2 credit inquiries on her report. What would be the best steps to take in bringing that score up? It appears that once/if the payment history from 2013/14 is resolved. Her score should see a significant jump. Loans are through DEPT ED/NAVI. Is it too soon to attempt a goodwill letter? Make any sense to obtain another secured credit card? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

She should have success with a goodwill letter, as long as she's continued making timely payments since. I GW'd my lender last fall, but had more recent late pymts so had to rehab the loan in order for the lender to remove the lates.

Best to pay off credit card all at once or slowly over time?

My urrent FICO score is ~730. I just received a bonus and I want to pay off my sole (CitiBank) credit card with a significant balance. Should I pay it off all at once or would it be better to pay it off slowly over an extended period?

It really doesn't matter. If they're going to balance chase you they're going to balance chase you. You're not doing yourself any favors by keeping your utilization higher for a longer period of time. Short term high utilization generally isn't an issue but prolonged high utilization can lead to adverse action. richmcnutt wrote:
My urrent FICO score is ~730.Keep in mind that there are 3 CRA's and many FICO models. For a given model you probably have 3 scores (aside from the ones that are CRA-specific). For a given CRA you have multiple FICO's. The score that matters is whatever score (and CRA) the creditor pulls for you. See also the Understanding FICO Scoring subforum and its stickies. CreditGuyInDixie wrote:
There are a number of other things you can do to improve your score (long term). For example, in the long game you need more than one credit card. FICO views a profile with only one card as "thin."This. Lower utilization is generally better as long as you don't have all 0 balances reporting. Fewer balances are generally better. That's why the recommendation to only allow one balance to report at 10% or less (or $2 according to CB) is suggested for those looking to eke out every possible point when applying for new credit.

DSL in the city, do we have dial up access numbers in upstate?

I have DSL in the city, do we have dial up access numbers in upstate?
Anyone know who to call for that number?
Thanks

An Air card that someone is talking about would have to be something along the lines of 3G or 4G USB adapters. These are of course, Wireless data plans that use the cell phone towers so you'd need to make sure that signal is good out where you are anyways to even get that. Other than that, it's slow as heck satellite or trying to convince Verizon to set up pole-mounted DSLAMs somewhere within 2 miles of you for DSL. ISDN could be an option though I don't think Verizon installs those too much any more, and they would only give 128k of bandwidth anyways, despite lower latency.

Set Up Costs - Semi Variable

Dear Experts,
We incur set up costs that are semi variable.
In other words for $1000 is incurred for every 500 units produced ( $2 per unit). Suppose a product is produced only 100 units in a month, that means $200 ( $2*100 units) is absorbed on the product and remaining $800( $1000-$200) will be unabsorbed.
How this unabsorbed $800 , should be treated during correspondind month end.
2. My set up costs includes Labour, Machine & Power . We have captured set up costs under a single activity type.
Say we incurred $200 in a month, how can we split labour , machine & Power. what is the solution to split set up costs and post to
corresponding Labour , Machine and power cost center.
Thanks
Sanjai

Hi
1. When you calculate actual activity price: It will be higher than Plan Price of 2$ because of lower utilization... Later on when you revaluate prod orders from CON2, there will be No Under abs of overhead
2. Usually, in your case, Set up cost is better represented by machine hrs than Labour hrs.. So, it is advisable to track Set Up cost as one single cost instead of Splitting up into three
You can create 6 Act types i.e. Set Up - Machine, Labor, Power and Other Machine, Labor, power... But that will only complicate the things

Aggregate Usage

Hi Guys,
I had created an aggregate couple of days back.
The roll up is happening every day. I can find also find when it was last used in the aggregate maintainence screen.
However usage is displaying -ve. That means the aggregates is not effectively used. How can I use this effectively so that it will display the usage +ve.
The aggregate and report granularity is exactly same then why the usage is not +ve.
Please let me know.
Regards

Hi,
Can you be more precise ?
On what cube have you created your agregate ? Standard (business content) or custom one ?
How the agrregate is built. What characteristics it contain ?
Did you use expert mode while creating it ? If yes - it's possible that it works very fast despite low valuation. Some of my aggregates that are low valuated works very fast (I used expert mode while creating it).
Regards, Leszek

If Discard Eligibilty is set, and if the congestion occurs, the FR cloud checks for DE bit set pkts and discards them. But, if it goes below the CIR, this should be informed to ISP, I guess...

Chase - Getting Approved with Old Charge Off

So back about 10 years ago, while in college, I had a credit card and checking account with Chase. I was irresponsible and let the card go unpaid, and it eventually was charged off and sold to a collection agency. Here I am, 10 years later, with a great credit record, Fico in the 750s, and about 10 current credit card accounts with very low utilization. In the past 12 months, I have been denied for two different Chase cards, the CSP and Ritz cards (about 5 months apart). When I was denied for the 2nd, I called and spoke with an agent who explained to me that there was an old charge off shown in their system for $3XX and that was the reason for the denial. I offered to pay the charge off and take care of it, but they said they could no longer accept payment as it was sold to a collection agency. The woman on the phone suggested I go into a branch and see if they could help me. I did, and they could not, all they did was get someone on the phone at Chase and they told me the same thing they did when I was denied. Basically they explained I have no options to make it right with Chase and gave me no options as to a way to rebuild my relationship with the bank. My question for you guys here at the forum is whether or not there is anything I can do to repaid this relationship so I can get some Chase cards. My first thought was to open a checking account to build some credibility. The other thought I had was to open a secured credit card, although that seems a bit absurd given that i have never been declined for any other card other than these 2 from Chase. I am more than willing to do it, but wasn't sure if that would be necessary. What would you guys recommend? My main goal is to be able to get a Southwest card (or 2) in about 6 months, and I am willing to do whatever it takes. Thanks in advance for your help!

My main goal is to be able to get a Southwest card (or 2) in about 6 months, and I am willing to do whatever it takes. Thanks in advance for your help! I just got off the horn with Chase EO today. Was trying a 2nd recon for a Hyatt card. The guy was really professional. He said I had a $500 slate charge off back in 2003 (which who knows what providian or family member did this to me, its buggin me) anyway, he said, we approved you for a $5k Chase IHG card. We want to see some repayment history with you first for a few months before we consider you for another card. He also said I might want a chase freedom or sapphire card some day (I had applied for the freedom in april and december of 2014). Even though I probably wont ever go for those cards, although they make a great combo. He assured me as long as I havent opened several new accounts recently I would definitely be approved if my score continues to go up. He also said that the 5 new accouts in 2 years thing is not always 100% and that he recon's people from time to time and approves them if their scores/history warrant that type of card. I also would like to add that chase is picky from person to person. Their cobranded cards are easier to get than their non's. I never had this CO thing mentioned to me before when I was denied the freedom. They said I had an unclosed checking account, and owed $75. I promptly paid that, and recon'd twice, still do dice. Also when I recon'd the IHG card the first time I was told way too many accounts, and not enough experience with a high limit card. Umm ok whatever, why can I go to ANY other bank and get a card then? Then called back the next day, instant approval for 5k IHG world mastercard. I will say, it probably wouldn't hurt to double app with them when you are ready. Some may disagree with this. But with chase theres always a chance of that 1 inquiry becoming two. And why not go for two different products that could improve your odds of getting one that the rep feels is more appropriate, or maybe even get the 2nd one approved later that same day! As long as your income supports the CSP (40k+/yr) then you should be fine? But others could chime in here regarding the underwriting. Maybe go for a cobranded 1st, then freedom 2nd, then csp 3rd.

Slow opening of files on DFS

I built a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 VM server, installed DFS and created a namespace. I then added a folder and moved data from a CIFS share that was near capacity to free up space. Everything I have mentioned so far was just to alevaite the fact that
the CIFS share was almost full. I built this server as a temp solution until I got the hardware in to build a new dedicated server for DFS/Storage. I have built the new Windows 2008 R2 SP1 physical server and also made it a namespace server.
The performance of this server is
Phenomenal. All the storage is local to the box as I am trying to consolidate all the shares around the network. I replicated the share from the temp server to the new server and removed the referral from the old server. I then copied
a few new shares over to the new server and added a folder for each (no replication for these). I then moved the home drives to DFS. Everything has been going well for a few weeks. Yesterday users started reporting slow opening of files,
specifically Excel and Word but I noticed PDFs opened slow also. This issue currently only affects Windows 7 users but only a handful. The nic, cpu and memory on the physical server have very low utilization. I have been unable to isolate
the exact issue but if I point the users to the
\\server\share, the files open VERY fast. I did notice that when I right-clicked on a mapped DFS drive, the DFS tab showed the status as Unreachable. I flushed the cache on the client and it went to OKay but file opening is still slow.
After some testing it appears to take almost exactly 50 seconds to open a file every time. I am going to be away from the office for a few days so I went ahead and changed all the DFS mapped drives to point to
\\server\share for now as I will not get it resolved before i leave. I also scoured the internet for resolutions and looked at all the related topics that were presented when I typed the title of this thread.
I installed DFSUTIL on a few of the Windows 7 computers experiencing the slowness and the referrals look good. Every test through DFSUTIL looks fine.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I found the self-inflicted issue. I have a dedicated DFS NameSpace server with 66TB of storage. The drive that has this attached storage has a folder I created call DFS where all the new DFS folders are pointed. At this point I should have
reviewed the drive permissions closer. The default permissions on the drive includes the local USERS group which has special permissions. The first few shares I moved over already had authenticated users - Modify so all was well. I then moved
the home folders over and relaized that the local users allowed everyone to view everyone elses home drive. In a kneejerk reaction I removed the USERS group from the root of the drive which no longer allowed users to access the
\\domain.com\namespace because the DFSRoots folder is also on the same drive. I guess that since they didnt have access they eventually defaulted back to
\\servername\namespace which caused the delay???
I added the permissions back under the namespace folder and only applied to that folder. Users can now access the namespace quickly. At this point I am not sure what the permissions should be for the root drive. So now my question is:
1. If I am doing to dedicate a drive to DFS, what should the root permissions be on the drive? The drive will contain a folder E:\DFS as a root folder for all the shares and another folder named E:\DFSRoots (created by DFS with the default drive
changed from C: to E:) which will obvioulsy hold the namespace.
2. If a user would lose permissions to the dfs namespace (as they did in my case) how were they eventually able to access the file after the 50 second delay?
Thanks

Charge cards' effect on FICO

I recently got my first charge cards and am a bit confused as to how they will affect my credit. I understand that only a few types of FICO scoring factor in charge card utilization. So does that mean I should pay off most of my bill right before my statement closes so that a small balance is reported?
Or should I charge up a lot on my first statement so that my "limit" will be that high utilization from the first month and every month after that have it be a small amount so that it's a low utilization?
Any advice on how to best affect my credit would be appreciated!

I've been tracking FICO scores quite a while. TU FICO 98 and FICO EQ 8 use charge card high balances v reported balance in utilization calculations. All FICO 4 (generation used for mortgages), EX FICO 8 and TU FICO 8 scores ignore charge card balances. EX 98 is part of the mortgage trifecta, GSE's never moved to FICO Risk Model v3 from Experian which was the FICO 04 model, and it may still count under that. Much like installment utilization affects EX 98, doesn't either EQ or TU 04 out of the trifecta. I will still never have my Zync with a balance for any application I care about, leave it zero, no problem with whether it counts or not . Simple is good.Now that we get all those different scores when buying FICO reports I would test it but my h/b won't drop for at least another 12 months. It won't affect EQ 8 scores until then and probably has a similar cutoff elsewhere.
