Is there a recommended maximum number of jobs QMaster can handle?

In our setup we need to render some 4,000 - 8,000 short video segments (only a few seconds each). Right now we are submitting them all one after the other via the command line to a cluster (QAdministrator has been set to allow 10,000 batches in the queue).
Has anyone experienced problems with queues this large? When rendering, QMaster randomly dies - mostly at around 1,000 batches. The batches remain in the spool but I need to reinstall the QMaster Service Node package to get everything off and running again.
I don't like the idea of having to babysit the queue and I submitting the next one after the previous one negates the whole idea of using clusters.
I've thought about adding more equipment to clear out the queue faster, but I don;t want to recommend this route if it doesn't work as that would be a huge expense wasted.
It's almost as if QMaster has a memory leak but that's just a guess.
Any thoughts or wisdom would be welcome.

I would imagine most people submitting such a large number of jobs are using something more robust like Qube:

Qmaster is very buggy and would need a complete rewrite before it could be qualified for use in such an environment.

  • Is there any recommended maximum number of deployed application to a single user/computer?

    Hi!
    As the title says, i wonder if there is any recommended maximum number of deployed application to a single user/computer?
    I have about 60-70 applications in my environment, how would the performance be affected if I would make these available for all computers or users to install? I guess its only the client that would be affected right?
    How intense is the process that checks if applications is installed, applicable etc..
    Thanks!
    //Samus

    There will be n/w  Performance impact, consider if all the applications are being downloaded on the machines for install by users since its Available install ,consider few users are initiating the install from application catalog for few application
    then it will impact the n/w performance, various things are also into considered.

  • Maximum number of volumes "dbmsrv" can handle

    We plan to reorganize our production EPR system. Our SAN has 176 disks. To be able to distribute the load evenly across all the physical disks I want to create as much volumes for the database.
    I know from the past that "dbmsrv" wasn't able to handle so much volumes. It crashed because the answer packet was too big. One could add volumes but neither DBStudio nor DBMGui was able to show all the devices.
    Is this problem still present in 7.7.7.06?

  • Is there a limit or maximum number of pages that can be in one document?

    Is ther a maximum number of pages that can be created in one document?

    There is a maximum number of pages that can be safely created, what exactly that is is not defined, but when you get into hundreds of pages with lots of graphics, that starts getting hairy.
    It would be safer to break up your document into smaller parts and only assemble them at the end.

  • Is there a maximum number of pics that can be transferred to a 64 gb ipad?

    i got a 64 gb ipad and when i tried to transfer a folder contains more than 50000 pictures to it, only about 4000 of them were transferred. i wondered if there is a maximum number of pictures that can be transferred to my ipad? or did i do that wrong? is there a way to do this? thanks in advance.

    You need to transfer all folders in one go - selecting one and syncing it, and then de-selecting that one and selecting a different one will just replace the first folder with the second folder on the iPad. To sync multiple folders they all need to be sub-folders off a parent folder, in which case they will appear as separate albums on the iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236).
    As to how get around the limit I don't know, or whether its possible. I've also heard about the 256MB limit, but I don't how many photos that equates to - or whether it's at a folder or library level.

  • Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
    I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues
    I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
    If you want those should be fine in one library
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
    Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    I'm not sure but I do not think so

    I don't think there is any limit on number of jobs that can be submitted to Oracle. However, there is a limit on the number of processes that would execute those jobs (governed by JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES).

  • [Project Server 2010] Maximum Number of Job processor Threads in the queue settings

    Hello,
    I have a farm with SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 installed. The farm contains:
    2 web front end servers
    3 application servers
    Each servers has 4 processors
    The SQL databases are installed on our database servers.
    The Microsoft Project Server Queue Service 2010 is started on the 2 web front end servers and on 1 applicative server.
    We have two instances of PWA are installed on this farm.
    I have calculated that the number of availabe processors we could have on this farm is : 4 processors X 3 application servers (the ones where the project queue is started) = 12. Is that correct? I'm not sure of the definition of the applicaton
    server that is used in
    this article )
    If I set the Maximum Number of Job Processor Threads (in the queue setting) to 2 per queue and per instance. We could have 2 Job processor X 3 application servers X 2 pwa instance = 12 threads to operate at the same time, is it correct?
    If yes, do you think this is a too high number of threads?
    Thanks for your help
    Aline

    Hi Aline,
    These settings are for fine tuning the servers, and are only one of many performance parameters.  If you notice the response from the server is slow, regarding Queues, then I would think about amending these upwards, but also with a careful eye on processor
    utilisation.  If you up the thread count and the system isn't any more performant, then I would look elsewhere for perf improvements.  Before you do anything of course, baseline the performance of the system.

  • MSEG - Recommended maximum number of records?

    Hi all,
    This is probably an oldie but a goodie.... does anyone know if SAP has a recommended maximum number of entries for table MSEG?
    I've got around 43 million entries and have terrible performance on MB51 reports and custom reports hitting this table.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi,
    > This is probably an oldie but a goodie....
    yes, well known in support...
    > does anyone know if SAP has a recommended maximum number of entries for table MSEG?
    > I've got around 43 million entries and have terrible performance
    generally speaking no, at least i'm not aware of such a maximum. The biggest MSEG i have seen has 17 times
    more entries (760 million).
    >on MB51 reports and custom reports hitting this table.
    You are probably talking about MKPF / MSEG Joins. In some cases index design, and sql statement changes can
    help to reduce the i/O (depends on many things). A general advice is: ARCHIVING.
    Kind regards,

    Hello,
    Questions:

    What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed by sqlplus?
    I cannot find anything on this in my search. I checked the limits page:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/apa.htm#sthref3658
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/apa.htm#i635278
    It does not specify any column limits; however, I'm thinking it is tied to LINESIZE which is system dependent.
    Please confirm if true.
    Thanks!

    "sqlplus does not have a limit on the number of columns it displays."
    They created a table with more than 256 columns with data and had no problem retrieving the data.

  • TS1503 what is the maximum number of pictures I can store and keep on my iPhone 3G?

    What is the maximum number of pictures I can store (and keep indefinitely) on my iPhone 3GS (8GB)?

    It is a balancing act between your photos and everything else you have on the device (apps, mail, messages, etc.), so there is no specific "number" we can give you. Just keep track of your available memory, and make sure you back up your photos regularly so if you reach the maximum memory capacity, you can delete the oldest ones without worrying that they are not saved somewhere else:
