Irregular resource usage

(following a different topic, where there does not seem to be a solution...)
I would like to have one project with all my others projects as tasks, but not sub projects.
There I assign resources to tasks (really other projects) and then for each project each resource is available according to this master project.
Can I manually split assignments of resources to tasks, so that for example a certain resource works 30% on one task from January 1 to March 31 - and 70% on a different task. Then from April 1 he will stop working on the first task and work 100% on the second
task.
I know this can be done manually by using sub tasks, but is it possible to do directly?
I am using MS Project 2013, (service pack 1), not server.

Hi Valgardur,
Have you consider using the resource usage view? This will allow you doing what you want on a single task, without having to split it into various sub-tasks. This view shows on the left part all tasks per resources with assignment fields and on the right
part a "Excel-like" timephased grid you can enter work in.
In the "view" tab of the ribbon, you can set the timescale to "week" or "month" then type directly in the grid a certain number of hours of planned work per resources per time period. Splitting your window to display the resource
graph in the bottom part is also very useful.
Below a screenshot (unfortunately in french):
Hope this helps.

Project Online - offline project plan prompts for date range to be entered when accessing Resource Usage view

When I save a project plan to my local computer from Project Online and open it up in an offline mode and access Resource Usage view I get prompted with Date Range dialog boxes with the first one saying "Show resources/assignments that start or finish
after:" and the second one with "And before:".
I don't have any filters that are setup in Project Online that are not available in offline mode to trigger these prompts.
Please let me know what could be causing the date range prompts. Thanks.

Hi,
You probably retrieve an enterprise filter into your local file. Just open the organizer from MS Project, go to the filter tab (be sure to have your project selected in the drop down menu at the top left of right of the organizer) and delete the date range
filter.
Hope this helps,

'Resource Usage' field in Planner workbench

Hi,
Currently the 'Resource Usage' field in Planner Workbench > Item > Routing Operation > Resources doesn't not display decimal places.
What do I need to change in profile option or preference or anywhere else so that atleast 1 place after decimal is display. In the database column this field has data with decimal places.
Thanks

Hi Geert,
Thanks for the advice.
I put '1' decimal place in Capacity Plan but it didn't work. Then I entered same value in all decimal places in all tab in Preferences, then it worked.
Thanks

Issue with Resource Usage

When I open up the project plan I see the following in the Resource Usage view for John (resource):
The level of effort for the task is 8 hrs for that day. However I am seeing a discrepancy where the total effort for that day appears as 9.6 hrs. I don't know where the additional 1.6 hrs is coming from.
The issue is the same for the other resources in the project.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bomasamudram,
And you'll only see this check box for Summary Resource Assignemtns if you choose the account each time you start project pro...

Capturing session level resource usage in RAC environment

I have used Tom Kyte's runstats.sql to capture resource usage by a session in a single instance environment. http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/runstats.html
The procedures in the package take before and after snapshot from v$mystat. My question is how does in change in RAC enviornment with more than one instance?
There is an equivalent table gv$mystat which has an additional column inst_id. I will appreciate if somebody can provide me some insight.

I wish everyone would stop using V$ objects where GV$ objects exist. Everything you write using V$ is a minimal or no value when run on a RAC cluster. However everything written using GV$ will always run on a stand-alone database.
Just convert the code and you should be fine.
At the University of Washington I never even teach about V$ dynamic performance views beyond the concept that they are a legacy of the time before RAC. There are about 107 V$s that have no global equivalent but they mostly related to instance recovery (RMAN).

Specified load buffer resource usage is above currently available value

Hello,
I am trying to load data into my ASO database. The .mxl and the rules file
have worked fine on the development machine but now on another PC I get this
error while executing the .mxl
Initialize load_buffer with buffer_id 3
Execution Message:
Specified load buffer resource usage [1] is above currently available valu [0]
The outline verifies fine and there is no other data in this ASO database.
Does this error mean I have to increase the available resources (how?).
Thanks

Hi,
There has to be something wrong with your import statement, also I am not sure why you are spooling the same file as writing the import errors as this will overwrite the file.
Here is an example of a script I just ran and it ran through without any problems.
spool on to 'C:\Out1.txt';
login admin password on localhost;
alter database 'ASObasic'.'basic' destroy load_buffer with buffer_id 2;
alter database 'ASObasic'.'basic' initialize load_buffer with buffer_id 2;
import database 'ASObasic'.'basic' data connect as 'admin' identified by 'password' using server rules_file 'DATA' to load_buffer with buffer_id 2 on error write to 'C:\Out.out';
import database 'ASObasic'.'basic' data from load_buffer with buffer_id 2 override values;
logout;
I would open a maxl window and try pasting in line by line as well.
Cheers

Clear resource usage counter on ACE module

Hi
Does anybody know how to clear the resource usage counter on an ACE module?
We use an ACE20-MOD-K2 with version A2(3.5).

Or is it a bug eventually?
Thanks
Patrik

Hi Patrik,
What could one of the issue here is, if this box is in production and is being used, as soon as you clear the coutners, the new traffic is still flowing in, so ace will populate the new stats. if you take this box out of production then you should be able to see all the traffic gone.
Also to reinforce my previous argument, if you happen to see the stats second time, they are reduced , which will only point that the system is actively receiving and before you do a second show resource, it would have received some traffic and it will also take into account the existing traffic flow across the box.
Most likely not a Bug.

Abijith

Can't see content of Text Column cells in Resource Usage View

I am having an issue adding a custom pre-defined & pre-populated text column field to resource usage view ( in a pooled resource situation) in microsoft project 2013. It doesn't see how the Text column has been renamed or the content of those column's

Unable to update wip resource usage rate using wip_txn_interface

Hello All,
I am unable to update wip resource usage rate using wip_txn_interface.
The rows were processed in the interface table and Cost Manager also completed normal, but the rows were not updated.

System resource usage profile

Our Forte OLTP application runs on HP-UX 10.20. A transaction uses
resources through the Forte partition and the Oracle database.
Is there a way to apportion CPU time, Memory, IO bytes, etc to a
single transaction? Ideally we would indicate the start and the end of a
transaction and then collect resource usage statistics. As a Forte
partition is a UNIX process which accumulates the CPU times of all
transactions processed I see no easy way to break down the CPU usage per
transaction. We need to do capacity planning and assigning system
resources to transactions is imperative in order to know when the server
will become saturated. Any ideas?
Thanks

Question on "show resource usage"

Hi,
Hope you are doing great!
the "show resource usage" indicate the resource usage of the security appliance or for each context.
I am wondering the below output:

does it mean the FWSM is generating 1573 syslogs/second currently? and it used to generate 65155 syslog/second?
I don't believe the FWSM can generate 65155 syslogs per second....
does it mean anything else?
Thanks!

Hello,
The command can be use on single and multiple mode:
Example:
show resource usage context admin
Check this links for more information about this command:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/command/reference/s4.html#wp1527546
Not sure if the syslogs are per second or what is interval, but yes, those are the amount of logs being generated.

MARS Reporting: Resource Usage

Hello,
I have added 20+ devices to MARS successfully. However, when I view the Resource usage report (i.e. CPU, Memory etc) I only see 10 devices and in some case only couple. Why doesn't the report list all the devices.
Secondly, is it possible to view the bandwidth in bits per sec and can the report be extracted in form of a table with relevant values against specific time intervals.
Thanks.

MARS does not discover L2 devices automatically as it does with L3 devices. Ensure all the devices are reachable or not. And also check the configuration and the logs.

ACE - Clear Resource Usage Counters

Hi everyone. I've tried clearing my resource usage counters several time by using both commands:
clear stats resource-usage
clear stats all
Neither work. The resource usage counters remain the same. Is there a workaround to this issue? I would really like to see the counters over a specific period as opposed to since last reboot.

Hi Tim
The clear stats resource-usage cmd only clear the stat for Peak and Denied counter.
I tested with A3(2.2) as below and it worked ok.

Minimizing PCI resource usage

Hi,
I'm using 2 cards for a specific application.
By changing the voltage on the analog outputs (I use both analog outputs) of a pci-6251 I move a scanning mirror to a desired position. After I find the desired position I just leave the voltage output as it is. At this point I use a second card to count photons (not a NI card).
My problem is that the second card doesn't run properly when the pci-6251 is supplying voltage simultaneously. When I turn off the program that controls the voltage output on the pci-6251 the second card works fine. I realized that both cards compete for the computers resource usage. When I don't use the pci-6251 I can have as many as 2M counts/sec on the other card and when I do use the pci-6251 I can only have ~ 80k counts/sec.
I don't understand why the pci-6251 uses so much of the computers resources just to keep a constant voltage output. Is there a why to solve this problem so the 2 cards work in harmony with each other?
Thanks for the help,
Eyal

Hi Eyal,
Are voltage values being constantly written to the analog output when the mirror is in the correct position? This analog output voltage will remain constant until it is changed so one thing that may reduce the use of resources is to write the final voltage values to the PCI-6251 and then close all references to it. This article gives a bit more information about this. Hopefully this will allow your other card to run as quickly as possible. Let me know if this helps.
