Memory consumption for an ASO app with a very large outline

Solaris 10 running Essbase 9.3.1.3.08 64-bit
We have an app with a very large outline (3Gb). When we do a dimension restructure, it takes about 30 minutes which I suppose is reasonable. However, it takes up about 13Gb RAM to do this and doesn't release the memory when finished unless we restart the app.
Is this normal? It seems an incredible amount of RAM to use, even for such a large outline and it doesn't release it when done.
The box has 32Gb RAM.

I think it was version 9.3.1.3 that outline compaction started working. The first thing I would try is to compact the outline. The MaxL statement for it is Alter database xxxx.yyyy compact outline;
ASO Outlines tend to grow with every change, do you really have that many members and attributes that would make that big an outline. If it keeps growing at some point it will corrupt

How to find out memory consumption for table in HANA without load it into memory

Hi,
To determine the memory consumption for a table in HANA, you can query table M_CS_TABLES, however, it requires load table into memory first, I just wonder if there has another table store memory consumption information for all HANA tables regardless it load into memory or not. Below is screenshot for one of table in my system, since that table is partially loaded into memory, "Total Memory Consumption (KB):" tell me the memory consumption of the portion load into memory, what I am looking for is something like "Estimated Maximun Memory Consumption (KB)" which provides me total memory consumption for that table including portion doesn't load into memory, of course I can use this Esitmated information, but consider I have close to thousand tables in my HANA system already, it's not pratical to check tables one by one.
Thanks,
Xiaogang.

Hi Xiaogang,
Estimated Memory Size that you see in the Table Run time Information - same is available in M_CS_TABLES also
If you don't get the size of any Table in M_CS_TABLES View, then the same will also not be available in Runtime information of the Table
Even if tables are not loaded into memory, you can get the Estimated Size, just try running the query with filter LOADED = 'NO'

Vivek

Huge Memory Consumption for Transparent Stage

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
Thanks

I can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites.

Is it safe to update iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.5.1 or should I just wait for new Photos app with OS X Yosemite ?

iPhoto has always been slow and less than reliable to use. Have never updated it because of concerns with updates. Will current pics in iPhoto get transferred to new Photos app with OS X Yosemite somehow or will I be stuck using both apps?

I do experience slowness/unresponsiveness and freezing in iPhoto,
Two points:
1. These sound like a damaged Library file and you might try repairing it.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
and from reading numerous posts, I am quite certain that many users have had similar experiences.
The problem with this is that the folks who don't have any problems never post, so you're working from a skewed sample.

ASO Cube with attributes very slow in retrieval

Hi,
I have a ASO Cube with 5 base dimensions and 8-9 attributes on the entity dimension. I have only 5-6 measures, which do the averages and counts based on the 40 day period. Howere, the data is loaded at the 15 minute increment
Entity
Date - (date-time, lowest level being date)
TIme - ( 15 minute time for the full 24 hour period, has a attribute assocuated with oit)
LocationType
Measures.
The sample formula is
IIF(Islevel([Locations].CurrentMember,0), Avg(CrossJoin({[Measure].[Sale]},{[DateDim].CurrentMember.lag(40):[DateDim].CurrentMember})),Missing)
Is there a way, i can have this calculated as a part of the script? DO you suggest i create a BSO, to do these calculations and pass on the result.
In OBIEE, the report is to display the followung based on the date input.
Entity Gen7, Entity Gen 6..... Entity Gen 2, Attr1, Attr2, Attr3, Attr4, Attr5, Attr6, Attr7, Measures

2 things I would look at
1st - I don't know how much performance you would get out of this, but I'm not clear why you are using a crossjoin in your MDX, it seems unnecessary and may cause more overhead. The following should work, you could also try using IsLeaf instead and see if that is any faster
IIF(Isleaf([Locations].CurrentMember),
Avg({[DateDim].CurrentMember.lag(40):[DateDim].CurrentMember},
[Measure].[Sale], INCLUDEEMPTY)
2nd - your problem mostly revolves around the fact that you are running a 40 member sum/avg for every member you are querying. It also sounds like the average is at the Day level, which is not level 0. So for all forty days, ASO also has to calc the results of each of those days. Remember that aggregations only get you so far, you should really think of everything in ASO as dynamic and that is why you can see what you have set up is not going to work that well, it is too calc intensive.
I don't know how practical this is, but to get this to work fast you would probably need to break out the 15 minute increments below the day level to another dimension so the day level becomes a stored level zero member. The 15 minute increment dimension should also be stored. If at all possible you would want to have an alternate stored hierarchy with the 40 days you want to base the average on. Enable alternate hierarchies in your aggregations, then change your MDX calc to be based on the parent of the 40 day hierarchy divided by 40. That would be fast.
I suppose you could opt to not break out the 15 minute increments and just have the shared hierarchy made up of the 15 minute increments that are below the 40 days. That would still give you a good stored subtotal that with some query hints you could get optimized.

OneDrive for Business iPad App with on-premise SharePoint 2013

I don't know if this has more to do with OneDrive for Business or SharePoint 2013 itself.
Basically we are trying to log into OneDrive for Business on the iPad app but it says "Sorry, this app doesn't support this type of authentication"
We are using Claims Based Authentication with our On-premise SharePoint 2013 environment, which according to this table is a supported method: h**p://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/use-the-onedrive-for-business-app-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-HA104005688.aspx#_Supported__authentication
We have tried different combinations of the username and url. Windows username, DOMAIN\username, email address, username@domain, etc. nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

according to office blog, it does support SharePoint on prem with following authentication(NTLM & FBA)
Introducing OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2
Q. Does this announcement apply to customers who have deployed SharePoint 2013 on-premises?
A. Yes. The OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2 app does support some SharePoint on-premises configurations (NTLM & FBA). We are committed to providing customers access to their OneDrive for Business in SharePoint 2013 on-premises. We also recently introduced
new capabilities in SharePoint 2013 SP1 to more seamlessly connect on-premises investments to OneDrive for Business in Office 365. More information to be shared at SharePoint Conference 2014 (March 3-6 in Las, Vegas); we will link to the relevant information

Looking for ebook reader app with good annotation features

I'm looking for an ebook reader app to use on my iPhone and iPad that will allow me to do this:
1. In a book, Highlight a selection of text, and make that a note or annotation
2. Be able to see all my annotations/notes for a book in one place
3. And here's the one I can't seem to find: Be able to generate a file with JUST my annotations in it so that I can save it off or email it or dropbox it or something like that.
Does anyone know of such an app?

I HAVE THE PERFECT APP!!!
I had been looking for an app that did the same things you requested. And somebody finally created it.
Its called Readmill
www.readmill.com
You can export all of your notes/highlights as an email.
It also syncs your ebook library with Dropbox
Here is the interview that Robert Scoble did with the makers of the app.

Best CS5 memory settings for MBP dual core with 8GB RAM?

The Adobe page on this suggests doing some tests (groan). But why, when there's a forum chock full of folks who've already done some..?
So, what settings have you found to work best?
Any other tweaks?
BTW I also have CS4 running in Boot Camp. if anyone can recommend the settings there I'd much appreciate it.
Cheers!

> But why, when there's a forum chock full of folks who've already done some..?
Because every composition has different requirements, every computer system is different, and every person is willing to make different trade-offs. There is no way to give a general recommendation if some people are working on web videos with hundreds of small motion graphics layers and other people are working on IMAX movies with only a few layers.
This page is the closest that you're going to get to a general recommendation:

Looking for a music player with a very specific feature

I've been looking for this ever since I completely left windows behind, and six months later, it's killing me that I haven't found the right music player.
Obviously, I used to use foobar2000. The greatest thing about it for was the 'facets' extension which added customizable filter panels. The MOST GREATEST THING about it was that you could combine directory and tag sorting, which means I could sort my REDICULOUSLY HUGE music library by Folder/Folder/Album, which corresponded to Genre/Artist/Album. For various finicky little reasons, sorting it by folder was much more effective than by tags.
Does anyone know any media player which allows this?

Hi, I was a foobar2000 user too. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't find a good replacement, but i've found one. It's quodlibet. Unfortunately right now it's not possible to do Folder/Folder/Album in the panels, but QL has a 'filesystem view' for this. Other than that it can do the good stuff:
- freeform tagging
- freeform filtering
It means that you can set whatever tag you want to and then put it in the panels, song list or search bar. It has conditional tags too. For me it was Genre/Style/<albumartist|<albumartist>|<artist>>/Album, but I do not use the panels anymore. I do not have to see my library everytime I play some music. These days I'm using the Album List with the search bar and doing stuff like &(style=goa,#(playcount<1),#(discogs_votes>=50),#(year <= 1998)) makes my day. Replaygain with auto-select between 'track' and 'album' based on current view and play order is a neat feature too. ;-)

Discount for students in country with a very weak currency

I have an online design learning institution at www.graphicdesignacademy.co.za in South Africa.
Our currency is 12 times weaker than the dollar. Is there anyway we can get a discount for my students to get photoshop and Illustrator software to work on.
As non earners they cannot afford the software. At least they are then trained with Adobe and will use product in the future when they start to work.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

File corruption with a very large .ai file

A little background first:
I am a graphic designer/cartographer with 15+ years of experience. I started making maps in Illustrator with version 6 and have upgraded to every version since.
My machines:
2x Mac Pro 8-core 3.0GHz, 16GB RAM, 10.5.7
Mac Pro quad-core 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 10.5.7
MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.7
Illustrator specs:
All machines have CS4 installed as well as Illustrator 10.
The 8-core MPs have the MAPublisher Plug-ins installed
The 4-core and MacBook Pro (MBP) does not have the MAPublisher Plug-ins
The problem I am having can be replicated on each of the machines. The MBP can't handle the file due to RAM. Since this occurs on machines that has MAPublisher installed and a machine that does not, I think we can rule out a plug-in issue.
File specs:
The original file: version 10, file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 36.4 MB. There are no raster effects or embedded/placed images. This is strictly a vector file. Artboard Dimensions: 85.288 in x 81.042 in
The original file, converted with CS4, and then saved as a CS4 file: file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 97.9 MB.
Brief Description of the problem:
I have tried to convert this file into every version of CS and it has failed every time. With each version, it has resulted in an unusable file for different reasons. CS-CS3, the file was completely unusable because of the opening/saving time. It could take as long as 3 hours to save the file. With CS4, this has been rectified and I once again tried to convert it. Upon re-opening of the 'converted' CS4 native file, the file is 'corrupted'.
The file corruption is not your regular "This file can't be opened because of: X" corruption. The file opens after a save/close just fine. It is just that parts of the file gets destroyed. To save space in this post, I have created a webpage that illustrates the problem that I am having:
http://newatlas.com/ai_problem/
I have tried everything possible to make the file smaller and it is as slimmed down as I can make it. (Using symbols, styles, etc.) I have also tried to eliminate this as a font problem by replacing every font with an Adobe supplied font, cleared caches, etc. This does not work, so I think we can rule out a font issue. I have also reduced this file to contain no pattern fills, no gradients, and just used simple fills and strokes. All to no avail. I have also tried piecing the file back together into a new document by copying/pasting a layer at a time. Saving, closing and re-opening after each paste cycle. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then it will manifest the problem. The only thing I haven't done is to convert all of the type to outlines. This would not solve my problem since this is a map that I continually work on year after year. I also can't remove objects or cut the overall area of the map because this file is used to produce an atlas book, a wall map and custom boundary wall maps. You can view the entire file at:
http://okc.cocpub.com
If I do not convert the legacy text, the file saves/closes/re-opens just fine. It just takes a very long time. So this leads me to think that the cause of the problem is the number of editable type objects that this file has. Ever since Adobe changed the Type Engine, I haven't been able to use this file in current versions of Illustrator.
If I could get this file to open, uncorrupted, I could finally get rid of Illustrator 10. Illustrator 10 does not have any problem with this file (and is still faster than CS4 in everything except selecting a lot of objects.)
I am posting this on the forums for any other opinions/ideas from the 'Illustrator Gurus' as a first step. I want to get in contact with someone at Adobe to see if we can address this problem and possibly get it fixed with CS5. I know that this is a user-to-user forum, but I'm not sure who, where and how to contact Adobe for this issue. Maybe someone on these forums can help with that as well.
Thank you for your patience for getting this far in my long post and I would really appreciate any response.
Dave

Thanks Wade for responding,
Did you try trashing your Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder in your User's Preferences?
Yes, I've tried deleting prefs. Basically I've tried to rule out any problems with Illustrator as a whole. This issue has also occured on a clean install of OS X and Illustrator on a new User Account with the opening of this file being the first task that Illustrator has. There is no problem with Illustrator per se, but I think it is more of a limitation in Illustrator based on the number of type objects.
You could also try saving it out of 10 as a pdf or as postscript and distilling it then open that in ai or place it id a blank AI document.
Did you try to place instead of opening it?
I haven't tried any of these since the resulting file would be utterly unusable. Basically this would create a 'flat' file with 'broken' strings of text (type on a path especially) and type being uneditable. (Now that I think about it, CS4 does a much better job of opening pdfs without breaking type.) I still think this approach is not really a prudent course of action since, as of now, I can continue to maintain this map in Illy 10.
In my experimentation, the results are as follows:
1. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file you would expect. Every object is where it is supposed to be. Downfall of this method: I absolutely need the type to be editable, especially the 'Street Type' since this type is actually used to create map indexes.
2. Opening the file with updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file that exhibits the exact behavior that has been posted in the thread-starter. This method results in the 'Bruce Gray' type being the duplicated item.
3. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, then splitting the file into layer groups and saving as separate files. Then opening the resulting CS4 files, updating the legacy type, copy & pasting (with layer structure) into a new document results in a usable file up to a point. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then the problem manifests. I have thought that it might be a "bad" object on one of the layers but I have ruled that out by: a.) All of the resulting sub-files (files that are portions of the larger) exhibit no problems at all. Usually our PS printers find issues that Illy does not and there is no problem in RIPing the sub-files. b.) If I change the paste order, meaning copying & pasting from the top-most layers to the bottom-most layers, vice-versa, and a completely random paste order, different objects (other than the 'Bruce Gray' type) will be duplicated. I've had one of my park screens, a zip code type object and a school district boundary be the duplicated object.
All of these experiments has lead me to believe that the Illustrator Type Engine is the main facilitor. I just don't think it can handle that many individual point type objects. I know CS4 can handle the number of objects, based on the fact that a legacy type (non-updated) file works.
I am almost entirely sure that Illustrator is working exactly as it is supposed to and that the vast majority of Illy users will never run into this issue. This file is by far the largest file that I work on. I would just like to be able to use an Intel native version of CS to continue maintaining this map.
On a side note: About three years ago, I tried working with this file in Freehand MX. Freehand initially would open the Illy file without a problem. I could work on it but when I would save it as a Freehand file, close it and re-open it, I would get your standard File Corruption. It would partially open, give me a corruption dialog, and open the file as a blank document. I alwa ys knew there was a reason to use Illustrator over Freehand for making maps.

Rebuild iTunes with Just VERY LARGE iTunes Music Folder

Hello,
As much as I tried to back every bit of my iTunes database up regularly, I failed to assure the quality of these files. Well, I had a family member accidentally delete the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files (yup, my mistake to allow them access to my Mac in the first place). It is only now that I realize the most recent backup copy of these files are corrupted. The really good news here is that I have multiple intact copies of my entire iTunes Music Folder. My goal is to recreate my iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files to accommodate it.
Now, here is the kicker. My database is 38000 songs and 190 GB large! I certainly know how to add songs iTunes, but it seems as though it chokes with large projects like this and misses random parts of the tag information. So, what is the best way to get me out of this hole, with the least amount of trouble and most efficient restorative actions? While I wait for an answer, I am also researching various other options and digging deep into the root to rescue deleted files.
If we learn from our mistakes, then I obtained my PhD years ago,
Dr. Z.

Dr. Z,
My iTunes library is about the same size. I am experiencing a little different problem though. At times when I start iTunes up I get a message stating that my library is corrupt and it then tries to restore it from the xml file. It finishes, but doesn't get every song. I then have to select all song and clear them while keeping the files intact on the hard drive. I then have to add my iTunes music folder and all its contents using the iTunes "Add to Library" function. I gets all the songs, but of course now all the dates, when the songs were added to the library, have the current day's date. I have to repeat this whole scenario about three times a week. Grrrrr...
It seems like iTunes isn't capable of handling large amounts of songs. I'm sure it shoud be able to, but it sure isn't at the moment.
As to your problem, what if you try adding your songs a chunck at a time instead of all at once? Maybe that will keep your data intact. Just a thought. Might work. I've seen stranger things work.

Help with a Very Large File, on a Large VDisk, On a Bad Sector

I recently took over as the Sys Admin for a small office. I found recently that the scheduled backups for on of our shared disks was failing and we had no other backups of this data. What I found was NTBackup was failing when it accessed a couple
of files on this share.
I would like to run CHKDSK on this Virtual Disk but prefer to have at least one good backup 1st. I tried excluding the files in question in the BKS file but it still references them in the log file and still fails.
Regardless of how I end up getting my backup, this is the question I have:
Is there a way to scan and recover these files w/o running CHKDSK on the entire volume?
System is Windows Server 2003 (Soon to be upgraded!). The VDisk is a 12 TB volume and the files in question are over 250GB each. This volume has many large files in the GB range.
When it is working a backup takes close to 3-days...I suspect a CHKDSK will be similar.
Any Help is Appreciated,
WKCook
Keith

Hi Keith,
What type of files cannot be backed up? If they are system files, you could run
sfc /scannow on the server to repair the Windows corrupted system files.
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
