Light speed rendering issue

Hi,
We are using SNC 7.01 which has all the application developed in Web Dynpro ABAP.
The problem which we are facing is when we open the SNC application the Menu is not rendered properly and in the status bar we get the warning "Error on page".
When I clicked on the error it displays the details of it stating
"Message: Object required
Line: 29
Char: 316
Code: 0
URI: https://TEST.com/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/lightspeed.js?A8847C94DAA2"
I checked the below node in SICF "sap/public/bc/ur" and it is active but there is no child node as "/nw7/js".
Thanks in advance.

Webdynpro ABAP and Light Speed Rendering Engine Performance reports

Hello,
We will be applying the NW EhP1 and ERP EhP4 in November this year.
I am very much excited about the new Lightspeed rendering technology that SAP has delivered with Webdynpro ABAP.
Has anybody installed this already and can you comment about the performance of Webdynpro ABAP AFTER activating this new rendeing engine?
regards,
Atul Kulkarni

We have implemented the EHP1 for NW 7.0 and ERP EHP4 back in May 2009. The performance of web dynpro applications is much better with the new rendering engine. The new name is living up to it's character of speed of light.
The usability of the application has increased with the new trade show plus theme. For example pink background for fields with errors. Access Keys and Hot Keys are very useful, specifically if you are migrating legacy applications from systems/languages which rely heavily on access keys.

About light speed in WD ABAP

Hi All,
Does anybody have an idea on light speed rendering in Webdynpro ABAP, if so give me the details.
Regards,
Anil kumar G

Lightspeed is the name of the fully rewritten HTML/JavaScript rendering for Web Dynpro that is shipped for WDA in NetWeaver 7.01. SAP has rewritten the rendering engine to improve performance, integrate AJAX, reduce memory consumption on the browser and network bandwidth. Lightspeed is also the prerequisite to most new UI elements and properties in 7.01 WDA. Here is a page from the online help with more details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/74/0beccf62a7425ab9e1b2077fa1bc6e/frameset.htm
Lightspeed is the default renderer as of NetWeaver 7.01 and should be the only thing that you use for HTML based output in WDA from that point forward.

Will URLS (Unified light speed) improves the current app. perf. as well ?

Hi,
We are using ABAP webdynpro application that encapsulates Interactive PDF as well. But it's performance is not good.
Normally it takes 30-50 seconds when user opens the workitem from UWL which further calls the webdynpro application and shows the pdf to user.
My question is if we go for EHP1 for NW that will give Unified Rendering Light Speed in Web Dynpro ABAP then will this technology helps to improve the current webdynpro application performance or only the new applications that will be built using this.
Please suggest me for this or tell me the other way to improve the performance of webdynpro application.
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
The new light speed rendering engine is the rendering framework to render the Webdynpro applications. Therefore there is nothing where by you specify that a particular application is developed using the Light speed rendering engine.
In other words to answer your question, EHP1 will improve the performance for all the applications whether developed on EHP1 or developed prior to EHP1.

RX9800PRO 128MB Rendering Issues

I recently purchased the MSI RX9800Pro 128MB card from newegg. On initial install of the catalyst 4.7 drivers everything was well. I am upgrading from a Geforce 4 Ti4600, so it's should be quite an upgrade, yet I have 2 issues. (i did a full uninstall of the NVIDIA drivers before installing the new card).
1. After about 30-45 minutes of playing a game, I get VERY wierd geometry errors. Like suddenly walls are protuding outside into nowhere, textures are streched beyond what they should be, etc. I have a screenshot of Starwars Galaxies if anyone needs an example. This is the issue i care about.
2. I don't really notice a speed increase, I don't have any benchmarking tools installed for before and after. This issue could just be my imagination though. (you always think new purchases are ganna be a magical change )
I'm running an Intel 2.4 Ghz, 1GB ram, on an Asus P4PE motherboard. i'm using the onboard sound and ethernet. I have a DVD-burner, floppy, and another DVD-ROM drive. 2 hard drives, 1 CPU fan, and 2 case fans, 2 fans are attached to the motherboard power, 1 fan is attached to PSU molex. It's in an Antec case, with the Antec SL350 PSU. (+5V/35A +12V/16A +3.3V/28A), output of 330 says the label. I'm running Windows XP SP1, on the latest ATI 4.7 drivers. Also i have the power connector from the card plugged into a dedicated molex out from the PSU. I hope that covers all the specs you'll need
So is this card defective or am i just demanding too much out of my PSU? Would disconnecting the DVD's/floppy/fans help to determine this?
Thanks for any help in advance, i love this card thus far and would hate to have to return it!

I definitly dont have the time or patience to reformat, nor should i have to, nor do i think it will help. I think it is related to heat issues, yet the card never gets hot as i think it could. I can still touch the heatsinks, granted it's very hot, but it won't burn me.
But the reason i think it's related to heat is because games will be fine for some time while i play them, then suddenly i'll start to see a patch of messed up pixels all throughout the screen, then the geometry rendering issues start to appear on new loads of levels/characters. I've even tried opening up the case and putting a external fan right on it, I still get the issues.
It's odd tho, nothing ever locks up, and 2d always works fine. Might I have a defective card? i have done endless searches and cannot find one other person who has this same issue.

Is that a webkit rendering issue in Safari 5.1?

I add my voice to rendering issues encountered in Safari 5.1, here they are:
1) Fonts look pixelated on some websites. Here's an example drawn from weebly.
The font used here is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, so I guess there must be a font rendering engine in weebly that allows non web safe fonts to be displayed properly. That works fine in Firefox 5 & 6, and until recently on Safari 5. Chrome 12 has exactly the same issue as Safari 5.1, so it could be a general rendering issue in webkit.
2) Videos on Vimeo show now a black rectangle instead of the video.
3) The "Insert image" feature in this forum takes forever to load, displaying a white rectangle during several seconds. Same issue with the Evernote clip bookmarklet.
Hope these issues will be fixed soon, any help is appreciated if something can be changed in Safari settings.
Note: resetting Safari (including cleaning cache) doesn't solve the described problems. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Quad 2.8 Ghz.

Thanks for helping diagnose this.
However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

MAC PRO (Early 2008) RAID CARD ISSUE - SYSTEM FREEZEHello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue) I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i m

Hello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)
I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i made a regular drive)
a while ago i had to replace the RAID card battery, so i did this, over a year later the same thing happened again, but as previous just left it and the system seemed fine for ages, until last night i was working in PHOTOSHOP and everything just froze and the screen kind of appeared GREEN, could not do a single thing. So restarted the mac, this time grey screen for ages and a message appeared, (macs version of blue screen) (see attached).
I restarted the machine and this time a flashing question mark folder!
could not do a thing.
so i found my copy of snow leopard and got the computer to run this and at least launch the DISK UTILITY and (Interestingly in the drop down menu RAID UTILITY was also in the menu) but it did not matter which utility i used the (RAID or DISK) neither could see any of drives, just the dvd drive.
so looked around on you tube and various forums and discovered if i take out the RAID CARD and re-plug the main lead from the RAID card back in to the LOGIC BOARD I would be reverting the MAC to a normal regular non-RAID computer.
After performing this HARDWARE task and inserting all three HDD, and running the DISK utility from the drop down menu via the SNOW LEOPARD disc.
(interestingly since the RAID card had been removed the RAID UTILITY from the drop down menu no longer appeared). running disk utility I can now only see the regular (spare) hdd and DVD Drive, but the two RAID HDD , again, still do not show up DISK UTILITY?
O.K. so i could chuck out the RAID card (AND RAID HDD) and just go with a regular set-up, and run a back restore from Time Machine on a NEW hdd purchased.
but what is wrong with the RAID, is the card at fault or are both HDD used for the RAID knackered? can i perform any tests, to see whats what?
thanks for your help in advanced.

hello people, the issue was in fact the GRAPHICS card nothing to do with the HDD or RAID system ( although this did cause issues with the RAID system it basically lost its way) below is my replay to another similar problem some one else had!
working in photoshop and then everything stopped working and the lot froze! only option was to force shutdown (via button).
and try to restart, hoping all was fine, this was not the case :-(
I had the added issue of the RAID card system, that i have, this was confused to say the lease and would not behave or work, causing the start up to hang.
so i thought the HDD must be bust and the root cause. ( but soon learnt it was not the cause )
...bought a new HDD removed the RAID card and replugged the cable from RAID card into LOGIC board, ( making the computer act like any normal non-RAID system). I managed to install the OSX, using the snow leopard disk way. once the mac was running, i started to notice the screen would flicker and started to see 'artefacts'. so i started to reveal my symptoms to the web and forums and soon discovered that my graphics card could be the issue all along?.
(nvidia geforce 8800gt 2x dvi).
I read up on that a fix, could be either A. reply the thermal paste, as the card could be over heating or B. stick the card in the oven trick.
Tried option A. first and nothing still issues, so last night took the plunge carried out option B. and ta da it worked! i even managed to run
from my new HDD my lasted install OS X, absolutely fine. I then thought, maybe i could repair my RAID so replugged all the HARDWARD back in and
carried out a disk repair and disk permissions on drives( took a small amount of time), via the SNOW LEOPARD disc - (Disk utilities) and this worked and now have my system working as it was just over 6 days ago.
what was the cost to get this? bought a new hdd so 40.00gbp and thermal paste and cleaner kit ( your still need to do this ) search video card trick on you tube.
and renew thermal paste, approx 15.00gbp, technically i don't need the new HDD, but it was all part of the trial and error way i went. ( i do have extra storage as a result!)"

Custom Cell Renderer issue in Custom JTable

I have CustomeTable extends JTable which renders different UI Components like (JTextField/ ComboBox /JButton/JCheckBox) in *"single column*" so i have overridden *getCellRenderer* and *getCellEditor methods.*
Now my Custom Table changes contextually by selecting different nodes in JTree similar to Windows Explorer
*The problem is Some times When i Click Button & then i click other Node which displays other UIComponents old components (Button is painted) instead of new COmponent(JTextfield or ...)*
*For each UI Renderer i have called its repaint() method still this issue is noticed not frequentlly but yes occasionally.*

Following are some of my Custom Text / Combo Renderer / Password / Button to display different UI Components @ Column 2 as per my above Code

               +Shouldnt i call repaint() on a specific Component for a Specific renderer ?+
My Code works perfectly 99 % of the times ..
But very rarely when i click My Button On my Custom Table say
When i click NODE A - which displays different UI in Right Split Info
Row 2 Column 2 - has Validate Button
Then i Click NODe B - Which displayes Contextual UI Components
Row 2 Column 2 should display TextBox (as expected)
but due to some rendering issue its Displaying same Validate Button
I have debugged and verified my logic to call renderer is perfect.
My rest of rows /columns displays appropriate UI Components except the
position of Button .
I think after my Button Editor is Invoked & i perform some business logic Button renderer is not getting invoked ???

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Ver. 10.1.7 rendering issues

Hello
I have rendering issues with Acrobat X Pro Ver 10.1.7.
When I zoom in to 100% and use the hand tool to move the image around, it moves about 1 inch then it freezes for 3-4 seconds, then I can move it again. This happens at all zoom %, but it gets worse as I zoom in further.
This gets even worse if I add text callouts and text boxes.
Windows reports the size of the .pdf document at about 700 Kilobytes.
I played with the Preferences - 3D & Multimedia - Rendeiring settings, etc. to no avail.
I have 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise on a DELL Precision M4500-I 1.6GHZ CORE I7 QUAD CORE laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1800M with 1 GB of RAM. I also played with the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to no avail.
This gets very anoying, I need to get work done on these .pdf files and this issue slows me down, and irritates the hell out of me.
I thought my laptop is underpowered, but at this point I tend to believe it is an Acrobat issue.
Please, any input appreciated.
Thanks

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -

Murtaza

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

ITunes 7 Rendering Issues

Ahoy hoy,
I became entangled in this problem upon first running iTunes;
Running it for the first few minutes, all is fine, tick-tock, no problems so far.
Then...
If one is inclined to switch applications, to say Firefox etc., hide iTunes, and then switch back to iTunes upon revealing it from that wonderful hiding place that is apple+h, it comes out all DICOMBOGULATED... of which a preview can be seen:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/duffin-tim/243757719/
It renders the interface all like, nineteen-eightees-Commador64-loading-a-game-up-like (I can post more previews of the glitch, some of them look pretty cool); what is the meaning of this?, am I alone in this problem? Coming to mind is a VRAM issue, but I am not one to speculate on such topics as it's not my professional area.

I have seen some wierd GUI rendering issues as well, notably, this one:
http://www.n715dp.com/links/itunes7gui.jpg
I can replicate this happening by closing the window (leaving the application running) and then opening it up again. The only way to make it go away is to click on the iTunes Store source and then back on my library again.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

Can anyone put some light on this issue.

When transferring PO idocs from R/3 to the middleware, some idocs doesn't reach the destination due to one buyers address segment not getting populated.
Since this segment contains the address where it needs to to sent is missing, the idocs does not reach the concerned place.
But when the output is repeated, this segment gets filled up and idocs correctly reach the destination
In the program this segment is populated on the following condition.
The address number from the table T001W should match with the address number from the table ADRC..
if sy-sucrc eq 0, the segment gets populated else it does not.
But when the output is repeated in the PO, the sy-sucrc becomes zero again.
I don't understand the connection between when the output is repeated and the above condition.
How the above condition is getting successful when the output is repeated..
Can anyone put some light on this issue.

I have one customized field 'ZCOORNAME' in the DS 2LIS_05_Q0NOTIF. I have changed this field in Tcode- QM02 and checked the changes in TCODE - LBWQ (Extraction Queue) and I got the Changed entry but now when i am trigerring the V3 Job, these changes are not getting populated in RSA7 (Delta Queue).
For standard field changes, it is capturing delta properly, the problem is with only customized fileds..Can anyone put some light on this issue ....
Please try activating the datasopurce again and try it.
Can you pls le me know when will be the Customer Exit(CMOD) is going to hit ? Before the Delta Queue or After the Delta Queue or is it before the Extraction Queue / After the Extraction Queue ???
he customer exit is hit before the entries are populated in extraction queue. Actually, when the transaction is done, the changes are written to database table and at the same time into the extraction queue. Just before going to extraction queue, the custom fields get populated in customer exit.

InDesign CS4 - Serious Screen Rendering Issue

I just migrated from the CS2 Suite to CS4 Suite (I uninstalled CS2 Suite first before installing CS4 Suite) on my Windows XP SP3 system.
The first thing I noticed was that InDesign CS4 (ID) had trouble rendering its screens properly when doing common functions. When the issue occurs, only "parts" of the ID app screen will display (see attached figure), and the CPU usage (as shown in Task Manager) goes to 100% usage. At this point, my system grinds to a halt, and I don't know where I am in the ID application because the screen is not fully "painted". All I can do then is shut down ID using the "End Task" option of the Windows Task Manager. As soon as ID closes, my CPU usage immediately goes back to normal (5-10% range).
So far, I've noticed this rendering issue when:
- I minimize the app to the system tray, then go to maximize it. This happens with or without an ID file open.
- I am closing/exiting a file
- any time a lot of screen repainting needs to occur when moving "in" and "out" of ID
This issue may not happen at every instance in the above circumstances, but often enough (90% of the time) to make ID virtually unusable to me. Sometimes, I am able to "jog" ID back to its senses (i.e., a proper repainting of the screen) by navigating through the ID menus. This works only sporadically, however, and the results usually do not last long.
This issue does not show up on any other of my CS4 apps (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.), nor on any of my Windows Office 2003 apps. My other colleagues in my department have not seen this issue with their CS4 ID, and some of them are running nearly identical systems as mine (everything but the Dell monitor).
What I've tried so far without any help:
- used Adobe Updater for the latest CS4 updates (I am running ver. 6.0.2 of ID)
- ran Windows Update and installed all the latest updates beyond SP3
- deleted files on my hard drive to free up space (I have 20% free)
- defragged my hard drive
- updated my display driver
- tried various screen resolutions and refresh rates of my display
Specs of my machine:
Dell Optiplex GX620
Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz CPU
80 GB Hard drive
4 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3
Dell 1907ftp LCD monitor
IE ver. 6.0.2900
McAfee 3.6.0.608 virus checking
Can anyone help?

One thing that is missing from your list of system components is the video card used on your system. And that may be the source of your problems. In general, though, we are not aware of any video problems particular to InDesign 6 as opposed to InDesign 4 which you previously had installed.
Many low-end computers from Dell and others take the low cost route by integrating a graphics display chip, typically from Intel, on the motherboard which does not have its own dedicated graphics memory. It shares memory with Windows. This has several ramifications (pun not really intended, sorry!). The first is that using main memory as video memory means that you have very slow video memory, very much slower than the memory on dedicated graphics cards. The second is that access to that memory competes with disk operations, CPU operations, and virtually everything and anything going on with your system. If in fact your system does have one of these integrated graphics chips in lieu of a real graphics card, there might not be much you can do assuming you have the latest video driver (you said you checked that) unless your Dell OptiPlex allows you to disable the motherboard integrated graphics chip and install a real video card. (To be completely fair, the integrated graphics display chips are perfectly fine for systems that are not running graphically intensive applications - Outlook, Word, and a web browser instance or two work quite well with those configurations.)
Other things that I would check would be disk space as well as fragmentation. An 80GB disk is not that big these days and if most or much of the remaining free disk space is highly fragmented (as it might be after uninstalling CS2, installing CS4, and perhaps doing a whole bunch of Windows updates including SP3), disk operations, including page file operations, might be excrutiatingly slow.

UI rendering issue in Skin editor (11.1.2) on Mac

Hi,
I just tried to run the stand alone skin editor (11.1.2) on Mac OS X and noticed some UI rendering issue - All the icon and menu are hidden unless I move the mouse cursor over them. (sometimes they don't even show up if I do so) And every time when I launch the program, I see lots of null pointer exception from "com.apple.laf.AquaMenuPainter.paintMenuBarBackground(AquaMenuPainter.java:140)"
It looks like a platform specific issue, since the Oracle claims Mac is also certified. Is there any work around for that?
Mac OS X: 10.6.7
JVM: 1.6.0_24
JDev: 11.1.1.5 (may be not relevant here)
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,
I just downloaded standalone SkinEditor 11.1.2.1 and had the same problem as you.
I managed to get round it thankfully.
As you mentioned, the menu items become visible sometimes when moving the mouse over them. I managed to find the Preferences menu item and opened it. In the Environment section I changed the Look and Feel from Oracle to Mac OS X. When I restarted the editor came up with no errors.
I don't think the Mac OS X look and feel is as nice though so I did some more digging.
I found a file called jdev-Darwin.conf in jdev/bin that contains Mac specific configuration for JDeveloper. In here I noticed the following line:
AddVMOption -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=trueAs the error we were getting was to do with menus I copied the line into skineditor.conf and hey presto it works for the Oracle look and feel. The app menus are on the Apple menu bar rather than the Java app window but I can live with that.
Cheers,
Kevin
