"Memory effect" when loading .xls file information using PropertyLoader

I have a TestStand 3.1 application, in which the sequence start off loading a number of configuration settings embedded in different .xls files using the PropertyLoader.
Unfortunately, Teststand sometimes loads the previously used .xls files (same name, located elsewhere), rather than those it were supposed to. In particular, if a .xls file is missing, Teststand will often (always?) load a previously used file with the same name, but located elsewhere. VERY inconvinient when testing ...!
Is there any way to remove this unfortunate "memory effect"?

Where are your sequence files located? If the .xls files are relative to them you might want to use a more fully specified relative path to the files (for example: bin\config\filename.xls) rather than just filename.xls. Then becareful to remove search directories (especially recursive ones) that you might have added to find these files. It's very easy to get into problems with recursive search directories or by adding too many search directories if you have lots of files with the same names, by instead using paths relative to the sequence file you can avoid the need to add search directories in many cases.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

  • Excessive memory consumption when loading Customers through Component Inter

    Hi All,
    I'm facing a big problem with the high memory consumption when loading Customers, Companies and Sites using the Component Interfaces delivered by the product (RD_CONSUMER_CI_API, RD_COMPANY_CI_API, RD_SITE_CI_API) within Application Engine programs. I'm loading about 7 million customers, an amount that is not so big in my opinion, but the memory consume is too high.
    We have 3 Batch Servers, each one running under Red Hat OS with 32 GB RAM memory plus 32 GB Swap memory in each server. We are running 2 Process by Server and with a day and half the servers crash with 100% of memory consumed (RAM and SWAP).
    There's a good pratice to use Component Interface in a heavy load process?
    There are parameters in the process scheduler configuration file that could help to reduce the memory consumption?
    There's a way to free the memory through PeopleCode or by running another process?
    Thanking you in advance.

    You may want to try and cut down on the input data to ascertain that the load might be a problem.
    You may try and use the GarbageCollector, but might not help in your case.
    To get an idea of the size allocated in buffer for the Rowset being used, you may want to check out the memory overhead ...
    Also, could check, which is the process that is consuming a lot of memory

  • Photoshop crashes when loading a file or image

    Using Photoshop cs3 on a PC with Windows 7 installed.
    Major Problem: Photoshop gives no response when opening an image of any sort or psd file which ends out with the options to either close the program or close and find a solution online which gives no solution whatsoever.
    PScs3 was working just fine when installed but after installing an NVIDIA plug-in did it start bearing some problems. When loading png files, a window normally appears telling me that Photoshop could not parse the file. After seeing this I went to uninstall the plug-in. The problem seemed to went away but shortly after was Photoshop crashing at random, and I do mean random. Starting Photoshop at first seems to nullify the chances of crashing but after either a short period of time or a long period of time will it crash when trying to open a file. Opening multiple files at once doesn't work either but when opening only one file into PScs3 will it cooperate until opening a second. I'm not sure if the plug-in is what caused the problem but I do know everything from there seems hectic. Every crash leads me opening PScs3 again with all of its settings reset from when I first exited normally.
    Plugin Used:
    Photoshop_Plugins_8.23.1101.1715
    Appications Type; 4,317 KB
    Company - InstallShield Softwere Corporation
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program?
    Unfortunetly yes I have attempted this and the problem still occurs towards cs3. This makes me fear that the entire program is glitched.
    Do you have any other plug-ins installed?
    I've checked and there are no other plug-ins attatched.
    This is my last option before seeing to reformat my computer. If there is any input about the topic, now is the time.

    Just a hunch: change your default printer to something else (a locally attached printer, not networked) or "PrintToPDF", then relaunch Photoshop and try again.
    It could also be a plugin (try disabling ALL third party plugins).
    And it could be a bad OS install, a virus, etc.  It may take a while to find.

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?
    Regards,
    Zdenek

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • BW - Using up memory when loading full files

    Each night we have a number of jobs which load our data into BW. Most of the loads as full data loads, and therefore the system should wipe out the data that was there previously. However it seems to be keeping the information in the database. Not duplicating the ifnormation but using up the memory. I think we may have had a program which used to delete this out. Anyone any idea what this would be?
    We are on old version 2.1C

    Wendy,
    It is more of a maintenance task. COuple of things you can do.
    1. If you load data to targets also loading them thru PSA, after the load you can delete the PSA, say 'xxx' days old data be deleted from PSA. This will improve performance.
    2. When loading a full load via a single info package to multiple targets at the same time, this load will create memeory bottle necks, you could avoid this by using a staging area, such as load to a DSO and from there load into further targets using individual info packages. Though  the data same amount of data is in the memeory it handles and performs better.
    3. Where possible try to use 'Delta' if youe extractor supports it.
    Hope this helps, award points if useful.

    Edited by: 907010 on Jan 10, 2012 2:24 AM

    but strangely it's trying to load each line of xml file into table instead of whole fileNothing strange, the data parameter specifies the file containing the data to load.
    If you use the XML filename here, the control file will try to interpret each line of the XML as being separate file paths.
    The traditional approach to this is to have the filename stored in another file, say filelist.txt and use, for example :
    echo "/u01/APPL/apps/apps_st/appl/xxtop/12.0.0/bin/file.xml" > filelist.txt
    sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl data=filelist.txt direct=true;

  • Insufficient memory error when loading a large Excel 2007 file

    My Tx shows approximately 110 M free memory.  I have the Documents To Go version 11 applications, as well as the 1.9 M spreadsheet on a 2Gb SD card.  when I try to load the file, I get an insufficient memory error, and the device does a soft reset when I touch OK.  I haven't tried moving the file to the device memory.  Would that help?  Is there anything else I can do to get the file to load?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    It means not enough dynamic memory, or the "RAM" portion of the memory. You have 110 MB of free program memory, which is where everything is stored, and is largely unrelated.
    You could try buying UDMH, (palmpowerups.com) an app that expands the dynamic memory area.
    A soft reset before opening the file may help too.
    webosnation.com is another option for help.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes when loading project file

    Hi guys, any help on this is much appreciated as I have a job due in 18 hours and I'm in big trouble if I can't fix this.
    I've been editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version) and when I tried to access the same file today it is giving me the error message:
    'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.'
    I had saved other version files and they all seem to be working properly so I know it's not my HD that is corrupt. In fact my suspicion is that it has something to do with a blur effect i'm using. The only problem is, I can't even access the file to delete the effect as the project file won't open.
    Information about my computer:
    I am using a Macbook Pro
    OS X version 10.9.4
    2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5
    Memory 16 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3
    Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

    Guys I solved my own problem - thought I'd share with you how in case anyone else is having this problem -
    I came across this thread
    Premiere Pro CC error message and crash
    which had the suggestion -
    "Do tou have after effects installed? If yes, please try to import the main sequence into it and then export it as premier pro project from file/export ootion and then try to open that in premiere pro."
    This didn't work for me too but I did try and import my existing project into a new project and copy all the files over. Works fine now.
    I don't know if I will have the same issue again tomorrow so I'm going to render out a super high res video before I close premiere just in case

  • 4.2.3/.4 Data load wizard - slow when loading large files

    Hi,
    I am using the data load wizard to load csv files into an existing table. It works fine with small files up to a few thousand rows. When loading 20k rows or more the loading process becomes very slow. The table has a single numeric column for primary key.
    The primary key is declared at "shared components" -> logic -> "data load tables" and is recognized as "pk(number)" with "case sensitve" set to "No".
    While loading data, these configuration leads to the execution of the following query for each row:
    select 1 from "KLAUS"."PD_IF_CSV_ROW" where upper("PK") = upper(:uk_1)
    which can be found in the v$sql view while loading.
    It makes the loading process slow, because of the upper function no index can be used.
    It seems that the setting of "case sensitive" is not evaluated.
    Dropping the numeric index for the primary key and using a function based index does not help.
    Explain plan shows an implicit "to_char" conversion:
    UPPER(TO_CHAR(PK)=UPPER(:UK_1)
    This is missing in the query but maybe it is necessary for the function based index to work.
    Please provide a solution or workaround for the data load wizard to work with large files in an acceptable amount of time.
    Best regards
    Klaus

    Nevertheless, a bulk loading process is what I really like to have as part of the wizard.
    If all of the CSV files are identical:
    use the Excel2Collection plugin ( - Process Type Plugin - EXCEL2COLLECTIONS )
    create a VIEW on the collection (makes it easier elsewhere)
    create a procedure (in a Package) to bulk process it.
    The most important thing is to have, somewhere in the Package (ie your code that is not part of APEX), information that clearly states which columns in the Collection map to which columns in the table, view, and the variables (APEX_APPLICATION.g_fxx()) used for Tabular Forms.

  • Problem specifying SQL Loader Log file destination using EM

    Good evening,
    I am following the example given in the 2 Day DBA document chapter 8 section 16.
    In step 5 of 7, EM does not allow me to specify the destination of the SQL Loader log file to be on a mapped network drive.
    The question: Does SQL Loader have a limitation that I am not aware of, that prevents placing the log file on a network share or am I getting this error because of something else I am inadvertently doing wrong ?
    Note: I have placed the DDL, load file data and steps I follow in EM at the bottom of this post to facilitate reproducing the problem *(drive Z is a mapped drive)*.

  • Digital Media Designer Issue when loading a file?

    Hi I'm experiencing an issue when I try to bring a media asset to my layout. After I loaded the file to the library I go to the Designer to create a presentation then I click on the icon "Media" beside Enterprise TV icon in order to add one of the assets from the library but it does not allow me to select the file. I could select the file from the icon Playlist.
    I wonder if this is not the correct porcess.
    I have to say that I just upgraded to 5.2 and I am not familiar to all the features and options.
    I attached a screen shot from that window.
    Thanks

    Hi Tomas,
    Yes it "works" that's what I did instead but doesn't seem to be the best practice because when I run the video in the display it show a little cut after it restarts. And also, i think it's better to use Media instead of Playlist when you want to publish images, because I noticed that the "effects" it has does not look nice at all and the images playlist looks much better and smooth when you add them as Media and assign a duration.
    Anything else to get this working properly, I have tested it at my local Cisco's office and it worked fine now I upgraded my DMS to 5.2 and I am facing this issue, therefore I wonder if it is a bug or might be an installation issue or smething else related with configuration.
    Thanks!

  • "Out of memory" message when rendering - MP4 files imported

    I imported MP4 files into FCP7 and I get an "out of memory" message when I try to render a sequence. I don't think it's the size of the file because I often work with much larger files without any problem. I even saved the MP4 to MOV files with QT and imported those, and still it gives me the  "out of memory" message. VERY ANNOYING.  There seems to be something in those original MP4 files that FCP doesn't like. Any idea how to get around this?

    Not to be rude or insult intelligence, but What format is the timeline in. Not the video files (It's great that you put them to PR422, but if your timeline's native format is something other than PR422, Final cut is going to try to render files in that format... )
    And Again please define "Huge"... How big of a hard drive are you using, and how much RAM space do you have? I checked your profile for any further information, but found none. these are key things to helping figure out your problem.
