Labview exe slow to start over network

I am executing a Labview exe built in version 7.1.1 by running it from a local server in our plant. It takes approx. 50 seconds to display it's front panel. If I run it from my local drive it comes up in a few seconds. To copy the exe from the netwark drive is also quite fast, only a few seconds. I have seen this behavior many times with Labview exe's running from a network drive. Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is a solution to this slow startup issue?
Thanks,

It's good to know it's not just me that has this problem, and I can run locally since we are doing CRC check on the exe before using it. I would still like an explaination for why this is the case with Labview exe's (or maybe any exe)?
Thanks,
Howard

Error in LabView.exe after each start

I installed LabView 7.0 in an older computer (Pentium III, 500 MHz, 512M RAM, Windows 2k sp4) along with GPIB and E-series PCI cards. Each time I open LabView it crashes and says "LabView.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. An error log is being generated." The error log is attached, but means nothing to me. It crashes with regularity within 30 sec of opening LabView but I seem to be able to run .vi's during that time. I've tried:
1) Reinstalling
2) updating video card driver and ActiveX
3) installing on a different drive
none of these help.
Any help you may have would be appreciated.

Hello,
The file you attached is a LabVIEW.ini file, where the configuration settings are stored. Please find the error log file, and this should give you a better idea what might have caused the error.
There are two types of log files. There are those created by LabVIEW and those created by Windows.
The log file created after internal LabVIEW errors is called LabVIEW_Failure_Log.txt and it is stored in your temporary LabVIEW directory. By default, this directory is located at C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Local Settings\Temp (Windows 2000).
NOTE: By default, the Local Settings folder is a hidden folder. In order to view hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer, select Tools » Folder Options » View. In the Advanced Settings field, select Show
hidden files and folders.
If you have modified the location of you temporary directory, the log file will be located there. To view or change LabVIEW's temporary directory path, go to Tools » Options » Paths » Temporary Directory. For more information on the error information contained in the LabVIEW_Failure_Log.txt file, visit the LabVIEW Internal Error Support Page linked below.
If you receive an error message saying that LabVIEW has generated errors and will be closed by Windows, there will be a different log file created. This is a log file created by Windows, and by default it is a Dr. Watson's error log file. These log files are saved as .log file under ...\WINNT folder for NT based systems, and as .wlg under ...\Windows\Drwatson folder for Windows 9.x systems.
If you open just LabVIEW, without trying to open a VI, will you still receive the crash? If so, can you create a new simple VI similar to the VIs that crash LabVIEW and run it? Do you call any hardware driver or o
ther dlls with the VIs that cause LabVIEW to crash?

Labview runtime - slow pc start up

I have LabView 2012 installed and i am using this from a third party developer to run another .exe program.
We use the program to predict scaling tendency of water....generates graphs and dosing calculations etc for our products.
The program does not call on any .net framework
The 3rd party program is stand alone and does not call on any other.
The problem i have is that i am getting a delayed pc start up of ~20 mins, howevwer, i can bypass this if i switch OFF the wifi key before the windows logo starts. If i switch off the wifi the pc starts up within a few minutes.
If i uninstall NI runtime the problem goes away and computer starts up fine. Which is why i think it is Labview related? Is Labview trying to make some kind of connection at pc start up ?

Hi Max,
That is very strange, I'd like to find out exactly what processes are slowing down your start-up so much, for this I think we'll need to go back to the Windows Event Viewer. Could you please try the following steps and let me know what you find?
- Open Event Viewer (Control Panel -> Admin. Tools -> Event Viewier)
- Expand Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Diagnostics / Performance -> Operational.
- Here you should see a log of recorded Windows events. Please sort by "Task Category" to look at "Boot Performance Monitoring".
- All of the events are dated, so look for ones that occurred only when your start-up was slow.
- You should be looking for errors/criticals, but it might be worth checking some warnings too.
- When you select an event, you will see some information below. Look for events with a long 'total time' - as you said start up was taking anywhere up to 20 mins (!!) you should see at least some events with VERY long durations.
Please could you record any that you feel seem unreasonably long (generally, any one event that takes longer than around 10 seconds should be worth noting).
Please let me know if you find anything abnormal.

Acrobat 9 Pro very slow open files over network in Windows 7

I have installed Acrobat 9 pro on my new PC. It's running Window 7 64bit. I use it for pre-press of high-resolution files for printing. Sometimes the file sizes run into the 100s of MB.The new PC has reasonably high specs, with 6Gb of RAM and a 2.8Ghz Quad core i7 CPU and gigabit networking.
Opening them when on the local hard disk is reasonably fast. For example a multi-page 400Mb file starts drawing the first page withing 3 seconds. But opening the same file when it's on the server of our gigibit network generates a very long pause. The application locks up and dispays a "not responding" message for 2-3 minutes. The bigger the file, the longer the pause. It doesn't completely crash -- eventually it starts to draw the pages and I can work as normal.
I used to have Acrobat 9 pro on my old XP PC which was a cheap low-end machine when bought 3 years ago. (has on-board shared RAM graphics card and only 1Gb of RAM). But what grieves me the most, is this slow old machine will open the same 400Mb file off the server so much faster than my expensive new machine. There is no lock up and it begins drawing the first page after only approx 5 seconds.
The problem doesn't seem to be simply related to slow network speed. I can copy the entire 400Mb file from the server to my hard disk in only 12 seconds. The old PC is actually slightly slower copying to/from the network. If the application was for some reason copying the entire file into memory or to a local cache, this should still only generate an extra 12 second delay -- not 3 whole minutes.
Adobe Reader 9 doesn't have the problem. I can open the 400Mb file off the network on either my new or old machine within seconds.
Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't have the problem on an old G5 mac either. It's somewhat slower than my old PC but will begin drawing the first page after a few seconds,
So what exactly is Acrobat doing for those 2-3 minutes?
I have already tried:
1. changing network ports/cables.
2. disabling anti-virus software
3. disabling "remote differential compression"
4. Patching Acrobat 9 to 9.2
5. Files located on Windows servers and Mac Xserves.
Not improvements from any of these.

I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.

Quickbooks slow to open over network

Quickbooks is Database Server Manager is Running R6.5554 each of the end computers is fully patched (not sure version don't have it in front of me). I was thinking that too but I am getting the same issue when I try and run it from a client computer (not touched in server upgrade) to another client computer.

I have a customer that I updated from Server 2003 R2 to Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Now they are complaining though that the quickbooks is very slow to open and I have confirmed it takes about 60 seconds from the login screen of quickbooks to having the file open.My first thought was the HDD was failing so I replaced the entire OS drive with a new SSD. Same issue.Then I thought maybe it was the server's fault so i copied the file to a end users computer and the login process was almost instant.So to take the test farther I then told that computer to host the QB file and connected another computer to the computer hosting the file (straight though no switch just direct connection) and the computer hosting the file was working great. The laptop I was trying to open over the test network was same as loading from the server 60 seconds+...

Controller and Touch Panel having slow communication over network

I'm using a cFP-2100 and a Touch Panel CE 4.2 Device, and they're communicating over my company's network via an ethernet switch. The controller and touch panel are in constant communication, since the touch panel reflects the current status of the VI using network-published shared variables. However, when I make a selection on the touch panel, it can take a LONG time to register at the controller. Is there any way I can speed this up? Does anyone know what might be causing the long lag times?
Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,
How long are we talking here? What sort of traffic do you have on your work network? If you connect the two of these to a switch on an isolated connection do you still see a significant amount of lag time between updates.

RAW files slow to open over network

Hi I have a 20inch iMac with 2Ghz RAM which i use to edit RAW photo's from the companies server. For some reason when i open or preview the files it seems to take an age. I have done a bit of searching on the net and found a few helpful sites which got me to look at the preferences but unfortunately most of it i had already tried and the rest didnt make any difference. Once in Photoshop everything seems to be fine and working at normal speed. This to me points to a problem with the network but there are other Macs that dont have this problem. Can someone please help i am running out of ideas.

Do you have other network related file performance issues or is it just limited to raw?
We run a sizable academic network with a couple of thousand users and problems like this almost inevitably turn out to be permission based. Do you have an internal network support person that can watch your process from the server end?

Quicktime slow over network (Vista Enterprise x64)

Quicklime is ridiculously slow on vista over a network.
I conducted several tests, opening an image sequence took 5 seconds on XP and 55 seconds on Vista. Other tests with other programs had no issues ie photoshop, after effects, etc.
Does anyone have a solution?

Anyone have any idea?

After Effects CC (OSX MAVERICKS) Slow Over Network

Greetings
We just upgraded everyone at our small TV studio to CC.
We are opening an old AE CS6 project in CC, so it converts the project to CC and we resave it.
We are having a HUGE issue where the entire AE program becomes laggy to any user input. (click a layer, it takes 3-4 seconds to be selected. Type characters, 3-4 seconds to update, Click a menu, it takes 3-4 seconds to open, etc etc) Any user input takes a very long time to actually work in the program, so it is unusable.
Here is what I figured out so far:
-I still have CS6 installed on the mac and when I open the project in CS6 it works beautifully.
-When I open the project in CC but do not connect to the network (and therefore have missing footage), everything also works perfect as far as user interaction.
-Once I relink my footage, AE CC becomes laggy and unusable.
So it seems by that evidence that something has changed from CS6 to CC, and for whatever reason CC is slow to look over the network for the footage and each user interaction causes the large wait in program response. Moving footage locally to the computer fixes the problem, but we cannot work that way as we have TB's of footage on the network that is shared.
We have not encountered anything like this in Premiere CC, or Audition, seems limited to AECC.
AE has the latest CC updates downloaded/applied.
Thanks!!!

I am not an expert in networking, we just have the most basic of networks, our dept has 6 Mac pros , with one designated for network rendering / storing common footage. We just connect through finder to the render Mac so nothing third party going on.
It's something different with cc vs. Cs6 and it has happened on all of our machines. Back in cs6 still works smoothly.
My thought was maybe cc checks all footage differently on every action and since we are pulling so much from the network it was slow. The main comp has maybe 40 layers, with other precomps in it.
Last resort is to format and reinstall osx and all our software but it's a guess and one that would involve a weekend of unpaid work on my part ugh.

Impdp over network: sometimes slow

Hello,
I've just made an experience, that impdp over network is sometimes slow and sometimes fast:
My configuration:
I have a "source" database (lets say A), with version 11.2.0.1, and two "destination" databases B (11.2.0.1) and C (11.2.0.3).
The data size is about 100 GB. Import from A into B needes about 4.5 hours, and import from A into C takes about 1.5 hours.
The data which is moved are identical. I've also checked the wait states, and we have found out, that database B makes a lot of log switches
during import, which is the reason, why database B is such slow. On database C there are almost no log switches.
B has log switches frequency about one in 2 seconds. C has aprox. 6 log switches in the first 30 minutes (during DATA load).
That database B has logswitches, and C not let me think about Direct Load versus External Table Load, which is described in the documentation.
But this seems different when using network_link: the trace of the DW process does not support this information (but should, as described in 552424.1).
I think, there are some bugs/features fixed/changed between 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.3 regarding load strategy over network_link.
There might be also a chance, that a initial parameter is different between B and C causing to different behavior, but
Does anyone have a similar observation? Does anyone know about this "change"?
Additionals:
The users have all the same grants, the data are exact equal (by FLASHBACK_TIME), remap_schema and remap_tablespace are used at both.
Ulrich

Hello,
Database A is in archive mode, B and C not.
The problem is in the data transfer, not at index generation.
For C, the data transfer is 30 min, Index generation is about 1h.
For B, the data transfer is about 200 min, Index generation in about 1h.
I have one new information: We have switched back after this to dumpfile transfer, and interesting: With dumpfile, the import is done with Direct Path.

I have Labview 5.0 and I can't run a program it gives me a runrime error C++ relating to the Labview exe file. Do you know where to start to fix this?

I've had this version for quite a long time and haven't had any problems with it. When I start Labview normally it seems to work fine I can look at individual Vi's and such but when I go to start a Vi program or even the tutorial it gives me a "Runtime error message C++
C:\Program File\National Instruments\LabView\LabView.exe abnmormal program termination." I'm not sure if it is a computer problem DAQ card (PCI 6023E) problem or a software glich. If you have any ideas of where to start tracking this down please let me know ASAP. It is a work stoppage situation.
Thanks for your consideration

Playing footage over network - slow down after a while

Hi everybody, I have ProRes422 footage I work with stored on network. We bought a 12TB NAS and I found, that when I play the edited movie from timeline, it freezes after a while (2-5 minutes) - it seems to me there is some kind of network overload so that the data cannot be transferred fast enough to continue playback. I thought it is problem of the NAS, but I tried to read the footage from external HDD over network and the problem is the same. Would any of you have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks

For users like you who insist on ignoring the warnings and still want to buy cheap, I offer this alternative:
Buy Local Attached Storage, RAID 5, for each work station, a gigabit Ethernet switch, and CAT6 Ethernet cabling.
These days, you can buy 8TB of RAID 5 storage, including the RAID card, for less than $4,000US. The Ethernet6 switch is about $50US and the cabling is cheap.
Buy twice the storage as you think you need, then make file copies via the gigabit Ethernet network of all files on the storage on each computer onto the storage on the other computer. Now, you are maintaining a continuous back up of all data, which is a bonus benefit.
The real benefit, though, is speed. Modern RAID 5 storage systems achieve throughput in excess of 600 MB/sec, far more than 23 MB/sec.
Your investment in new equipment will be far less than buying a SAN.

Finder is very slow, particularly when using network drive

I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air, OSX 10.9.4, and Finder is extremely slow, particularly when I am navigating my Time Capsule. First, a little history.
I have tried the fixes listed in these three threads:
(1) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3358265?searchText=finder%20slow
(2) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1324280?searchText=Finder%20is%20slow
(3) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495797?start=30&tstart=0
Second, my Time Capsule is new. I bought it to replace a WD MyBook that used to work really well, and then something changed. Unfortunately, I assumed that it was some problem on WD's side, so after a year or two of waiting to see if either WD or Apple issued an update to fix it, I assumed it was some kind of file system incompatibility (or other interoperability problem) that wasn't likely to go away, and just sprung for the Time Capsule. However, after getting all the files on the Time Capsule, the problem remains. So here's a rundown of what I experience:
When I navigate the directories on my Time Capsule, if I haven't been in a particular folder, it takes a very long time to load the contents. On average, it will be 30 seconds, but it is not uncommon for it to be over a minute. This can happen even if a folder is empty or has just a few files in it. In addition, adding a subfolder and trying to rename it takes a very long time. After renaming a new folder, it can then take another full minute or more for the folder to actually show the newly assigned name and bounce into line in alphabetical order.
Here are some other observations. First, my connection is very fast, as I'm directly connected to the Time Capsule (albeit via wireless). Second, there is clearly something extra going on in Finder that is contributing to this issue, because I navigated to different directories using Terminal and did an "ls" command, and as you would expect, the list fired out virtually instantaneously. Yet, right after that, if I clicked on that same folder with Finder, it would take a minute or more to display the same file names.
Could it be that the Finder is doing other things at the same time as it is giving me a list of what is in the directory? For example, could the Finder be loading ALL metadata for each of the files into some database or index being built on the fly every time I pop into a new folder, even if I'm not using a view mode where I am asking to see those other bits of metadata? If so, that might make sense as I generally am using the network drive to navigate directories of my photographs, and they have a lot more categories of metadata associated with them than do Word docs and PDFs (e.g., date of picture, time of picture, aperture, shutter speed, exposure, etc.). Or, perhaps is Finder trying to load previews of ALL of the files whenever a directory request is made, so that bouncing through the previews takes less time? I sort of doubt that, because even after a directory listing finally comes up, it seems to churn a bit on each photo before the preview comes up, which I take as an indication that it's creating each preview only after a request is made for that particular file. Either way, I will say that in old WinXP and even in the newer Windows 7, if you want to view files in a Detailed setting where you can see other metadata (called "Attributes"), it definitely prioritizes giving you a directory listing, and then continues filling in the various selected Attributes one-by-one after that. Thus, if you want to sort by the date a photograph was taken (as opposed to its modified or created date, which seem to be default attributes that load as quickly (or nearly as quickly) as the filename), or by the photo's dimensions, it might take a few minutes to load in those attributes for a folder of a couple thousand pictures. But, critically, if you are not planning on using those attributes, but rather, merely want to see how many files you have in that folder, or select them all and load them into a photo viewer, you won't have to wait for the file system to load the file attributes before you get a listing of the folder's contents. It seems to me like the Finder, however, might actually be forcing you to wait until it has loaded all of those attributes.
Does the foregoing sound like a plausible explanation of the problem to those out there with knowledge of how Finder actually works? And if so, does that bring to mind any potential settings that could be turned off or any other work-arounds (since those I've tried have not fixed the issue)?
If anyone has other ideas, I am all ears. I am pretty annoyed that I sunk time into switching over to a Time Capsule on the assumption that Apple couldn't have had a bug this bad, only to find out that I was wrong. The biggest irony is that my old WinXP computer used to rip through the folder structures with ease on the MyBook, but my fully updated Air is practically crippled by the same task.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Uninstalling Leopard to start over

Does anyone know how to safely remove Leopard? It's been giving me internet issues and I would like to uninstall it and start over...
Not sure how to restore to Tiger and reinstall Leopard.
Thanks

Allan,
Great of you to offer some help...I posted some things in the Internet and Networking thread, but have not been able to resolve the problem.
So, i'm running an up to date G5, firmware is most recent, plenty of ram and plenty of memory. I put Tiger on the machine a few days ago and everything went smoothly. (thankfully)
After everything power cycled and I started exploring, I noticed the internet was extremely slow. (56k modem slow) So after a little bit of searching and a call to tech support...I was told that I needed to update the firmware in my Linksys WRT54GS and disable the speedbooster in it...So I updated the firmware and found that i'm unable to disable the speedbooster. That was suppose to correct the problem. However, i'm still getting very low data in and out. (activity monitor)
Looking through the posts, i've seen some discussions that were similar to my problem and people mentioned that network preferences sometimes don't carry over well to Leopard and a host of other "here's what to do" type stuff.
None of which has improved my internet speeds. So, I thought I would try to reinstalling Leopard using the "erase" method this time. But I just wanted to make sure I did it properly as to avoid any subsequent problems.
