Memory pages per sec is too high
Hi, I see the value 5000 in monitor "Memory Pages Per Second" in the tab "Threshold Comparison>Specify Threshold value to compare". Is this value in MB or pages/sec that system writes/reads.
Please make me understand.
-Satya
I don't think 5000 is a value in MB.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/01/29/an-overview-of-troubleshooting-memory-issues-part-two.aspx
Please check the underlined part below -
Pages/sec is the rate at which pages are read from or written to disk to resolve
hard page faults. This counter is a primary indicator of the kinds of faults
that cause system-wide delays. It is the sum of Memory \ Pages Input/sec and
Memory \ Pages Output/sec. It is counted in numbers of pages, so it can be
compared to other counts of pages, such as Memory \ Page Faults/sec, without
conversion. It includes pages retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system
cache (usually requested by applications) non-cached mapped memory files.

SCOM 2012 Memory Pages Per Second is too High
Hi
With the latest update from Scom Windows Server Operation System Monitoring
now we have this alert many times only on Server with a lot of Memory.
For Example we have 3 Hyper-V Cluster Server with 144 GB Ram. Used Memory is almost 40 GB. But we receive daily 2 ore 3 time this message. And it will be closed after some minutes again.
Exact the same with the Backup Server with 32 GB Ram. Uses Memory is 16 GB Ram
All other Server show never an Error like this. And before this Update come. We see never a problem.
Any Idea
Kind regrads

RoendiHi
Now I see the Problem. We have installed DPM 2012 at the same Time and i think this is a Problem with the DPM Agent. The alerts are always on the same time.
So I think is not a problem from monitoring.
Thank you for your assistance
Kind regards

OfficeJet 4500 g510n-z starts off the top of the page about an inch too high of where it should
It starts printing about an inch before the paper starts ... Thanks!
If you print a test page, is it the same way? If not, then it would be something in the software/driver settings.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
Based on the description, we can try to download Server Performance Advisor (SPA) to help further analyze the performance of the server. SPA can generate comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze
issues and develop corrective actions.
Regarding this tool, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Reader 11 pdf page numbers printing too high
After I upgraded to Adobe Reader 11, I have started having issues with page numbers on my pdf forms printing too high on the page. Instead of printing at the bottom of the page, they jump up to wherever the text on the page stops. For instance, if the text stops half way down the page, the page number prints one line beneath that text, so it's in the middle of the page instead of the bottom corner. The file looks fine on the screen, and if I print it in Reader 10 on another computer, it prints at the bottom of the page where it belongs. I've compared settings between my computer, and the computer where the file prints correctly, and I can't find any settings that are different. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, suggestions for a solution?
looking again, it prints badly in Chrome, Safari, pdf, preview but NOT Firefox.
And, I was wrong about Gmail. it prints wrong from gmail, too. -
Too High Wakeups-from-idle per second
I am using Arch for the past few months and I have been noticing that the battery is draining much quicker than it used to be in windows.
I used powertop and found out that the "Wakeups-from-idle per second" is way too high. It is ~300 per second on average and once i even saw numbers like 8000 !!
The link http://www.linuxpowertop.org/powertop.php quotes it is possible to get 3 wakeups running a full GNOME desktop. It says that 193 is lot more than 3.
But in my case the numbers are way too high than expected. I run Arch with XFCE4.
Can somebody explain why am I seeing such high numbers and is this the reason for my battery draining ?nachiappan wrote:Can somebody explain why am I seeing such high numbers and is this the reason for my battery draining ?
Powertop shows what is causing the wakeups. If it is the kernel, trying a different frequency governor might help.
More than likely tweaking a few different settings together will get you more battery life, the wakeups alone won't be doing all the battery draining.
There's lots of helpful hints on power saving here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/La … ttery_life
edit: seems your cpu isn't being monitored correctly. 3000% seems so wrong.
What kernel and cpu are you using?

Activity Monitor shows virtual memory usage is way too high
35 Gb of virtual memory for Safari, Mail, iTunes, Activity Monitor and all running processes!
Why these numbers are so high compared to Tiger? Can someone please explain? Is it a bug or something or is it the new way introduced with Leopard?
RAM and CPU usage looks fine though but this VM usage seems too high to me. I will run out of disk space after a couple of days of runtime. And the Adobe Creative Suite is not even running. Jeez...
Message was edited by: flec65Thanks for the hint Niel.
The /private/var/vm folder is actually only 64 Mb. I can calm myself now...
(via Go menu in the Finder, select Go to Folder and type /private/var/vm to access it)
But why is Activity Monitor behaving like this in Leopard? -
My Notebook's Physical Memory too High!!
Hello, After almost 6 months I noticed that my notebook's spped is getting too much slow so I decided to do Recovery in order to get back its orginal speed. When I was done wtih Recovery, I found that at the very start (After Welcome Screen) it gets too slow and It shocked me that I have just done Recovery and what has happened. On experiencing it, I opened a Task Manager and found that in Performance Section that my PHYSICAL MEMORY IS fluctuating between 80-85% and sometimes 90-93% which is a way too high. What do I need to do?
, Hello and thanks for posting back. The reson the memory shoots up when you install some programs is due to the fact that they run in the background and with the newer office programs and so on they are constantly checking for updates and are linked to the internet for licence reason. The only way to fix this is to add more memory or look into memory management in windows. About Memory Management Now one thing you may want to check is the system itself. Here is a link to the system BIOS diagnostics you can run to check the state of your hardware and memory. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Please let me know what you find out. Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

Printing 2 pages per sheet reduces size too much
Hi,
I'm printing a document using Reader 8.1.0.
I print 2 pages per sheet, side-by-side. A4 documents should be reduced to A5, that is reduction to 71%.
But the final result is reduced by more than that: 64%.
I tried on 2 different printers with the same result.
Is there a way to get 2 A5 pages? Is this linked anyway to the printers or to an option in Reader?
Thanks
OscarHi donmellado
Welcome to the forum.
Just go:
+Menu > File > Print > Layout > Pages per sheet: 2+
Don't rotate the sheet or specify a reduction size, this is not necessary, the Mac will work it all out for you.

Rollback per transaction too high
Hi, I am investigating performance problems on our database which is used by a third party application.
Using the stats' pack I have established that the
Rollback per transaction % is very high (between 60-70%).
I am on version 8.17 or Oracle, the application is written in powerbuilder. And it users lots of sessions per user.
A typical user users 5-7 sessions .
How can i find what is causing all this rollback?
could it be related to all these sessions ?Hi,
The Rollback Per Transaction statistic will report on all statements that were rolled back, regardless of whether there is anything to rollback or not.

Select Query failing on a table that has per sec heavy insertions.
Hi
Problem statement
1- We are using 11g as an database.
2- We have a table that is partitioned on the date as range partition.
3- The insertion of data is very high.i.e. several hundreds records per sec. in the current partitioned.
4- The data is continuously going in the current partitioned as and when buffer is full or per sec timer expires.
5-- We have to make also select query on the same table and on the current partitioned say for the latest 500 records.
6- Effecient indexes are also created on the table.
Solutions Tried.
1- After analyzing by tkprof it is observed that select and execute is working fine but fetch is taking too much time to show the out put. Say it takes 1 hour.
2- Using the 11g sql advisior and SPM several baseline is created but the success rate of them is observed also too low.
please suggest any solution to this issue
1- i.e. Redisgn of table.
2- Any better way to quey to fix the fetch issue.
3- Any oracle seetings or parameter changes to fix the fetch issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hallo,
message
nunew33, "Mpeg not valid error message" #4, 31 Jan 2006 3:29 pm describes a certain error message. The user had problems with an imported MPEG movie.
Now I receive the same message, but the MPEG that is causing the problem is created by Encore DVD itself!?
I am working with the german version, but here is a rough translation of the message:
"PGC 'Weitere Bilder' has an error at 00:36:42:07.
The data rate of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. - PGC Info: Name = Weitere Bilder, Ref = SApgc, Time = 00:36:42:07"
My test project has two menus and a slide show with approx. 25 slides and blending as transition. The menus are ok, I verified that before.
First I thought it was a problem with the audio I use in the slide show. Because I am still in the state of learning how to use the application, I use some test data. The audio tracks are MP3s. I learned already that it is better to convert the MP3s to WAV files with certain properties.
I did that, but still the DVD generation was not successful.
Then I deleted all slides from the slide show but the first. Now the generation worked!? As far as a single slide (an image file) can not have a bitrate per second, and there was no sound any more, and as far as the error message appears AFTER the slide shows are generated, while Encore DVD is importing video and audio just before the burning process, I think that the MPEG that is showing the slide show is the problem.
But this MPEG is created by Encore DVD itself. Can Encore DVD create Data that is not compliant to the DVD specs?
The last two days I had to find out the cause for a "general error". Eventually I found out that image names must not be too long. Now there is something else, and I still have to just waste time for finding solutions for apparent bugs in Encore DVD. Why doesn't the project check find and tell me such problems? Problem is that the errors appear at the end of the generation process, so I always have to wait for - in my case - approx. 30 minutes.
If the project check would have told me before that there are files with file names that are too long, I wouldn't have had to search or this for two days.
Now I get this PGC error (what is PGC by the way?), and still have no clue, cause again the project check didn't mention anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Christian KirchhoffHallo,
thanks, Ruud and Jeff, for your comments.
The images are all scans of ancient paintings. And they are all rather dark. They are not "optimized", meaning they are JPGs right now (RGB), and they are bigger then the resolution for PAL 3:4 would require. I just found out that if I choose "None" as scaling, there is no error, and the generation of the DVD is much, much faster.
A DVD with a slide show containing two slides and a 4 second transition takes about 3 minutes to generate when the scaling is set to something other than "None". Without scaling it takes approx. 14 seconds. The resulting movies size is the same (5,35 MB).
I wonder why the time differs so much. Obviously the images have to be scaled to the target size. But it seems that the images are not scaled only once, that those scaled versions of the source images are cached, and those cached versions are used to generate then blend effect, but for every frame the source images seem to be scaled again.
So I presume that the scaling - unfortunately - has an effect on the resulting movie, too, and thus influences the success of the process of DVD generation.
basic situation:
good image > 4 secs blend > bad image => error
variations:
other blend times don't cause an error:
good image > 2 secs blend > bad image => success
good image > 8 secs blend > bad image => success
other transitions cause an error, too:
good image > 4 secs fade to black > bad image => error
good image > 4 secs page turn > bad image => error
changing the image order prevents the error:
bad image > 4 secs blend > good image => success
changing the format of the bad image to TIFF doesn't prevent the error.
changing colors/brightness of the bad image: a drastic change prevents the error. I adjusted the histogram and made everything much lighter.
Just a gamma correction with values between 1.2 and 2.0 didn't help.
changing the image size prevents the error. I decreased the size. The resulting image was still bigger than the monitor area, thus it still had to be scaled a bit by Encore DVD, but with this smaller version the error didn't occur. The original image is approx. 2000 px x 1400 px. Decreasing the size by 50% helped. Less scaling (I tried 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%, too) didn't help.
using a slightly blurred version (gaussian blur, 2 px, in Photoshop CS) of the bad image prevents the error.
My guess is that the error depends on rather subtle image properties. The blur doesn't change the images average brightness, the balance of colors or the size of the image, but still the error was gone afterwards.
The problem is that I will work with slide shows that contain more images than two. It would be too time consuming to try to generate the DVD over and over again, look at which slide an error occurs, change that slide, and then generate again. Even the testing I am doing right now already "ate" a couple of days of my working time.
Only thing I can do is to use a two image slide show and test image couple after image couple. If n is the number of images, I will spend (n - 1) times 3 minutes (which is the average time to create a two slides slide how with a blend). But of course I will try to prepare the images and make them as big as the monitor resolution, so Encore DVD doesn't have to scale the images any more. That'll make the whole generation process much shorter.
If I use JPGs or TIFFs, the pixel aspect ratio is not preserved when the image is imported. I scaled one of the images in Photoshop, using a modified menu file that was installed with Encore DVD, because it already has the correct size for PAL, the pixel aspect ratio and the guides for the save areas. I saved the image as TIFF and as PSD and imported both into Encore DVD. The TIFF is rendered with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio and NOT with the D1/DV PAL aspect ration that is stored in the TIFF. Thus the image gets narrowed and isn't displayed the way I wanted it any more. Only the PSD looks correct. But I think I saw this already in another thread...
I cannot really understand why the MPEG encoding engine would produce bit rates that are illegal and that are not accepted afterwards, when Encore DVD is putting together all the stuff. Why is the MPEG encoding engine itself not throwing an error during the encoding process? This would save the developer so much time. Instead they have to wait until the end, thinking everything went right, and find out then that there was a problem.
Still, if sometime somebody finds out more about the whole matter I would be glad about further explanations.
Best regards,

All I did was click on the Performance 3D in the settings of Clock Frequencies of my FX5600 128MB. I then clicked on Auto detect and it changed my settings all by itself. I did not manually move any of the sliders.
My Core Clock Frequency for 2D is now 270MHz and 3D is 372MHz.
So far, America's Army plays way better and I was even able to bump up many of the games settings too.
Are these settings too high?

Even if it is warm to the touch, that does not mean it's harmless. If it's warmer than the component manufacturer specs indicate, it shortens the life. As to the rate in which heat above a certain range actually shortens the life is better left to an electronics engineer or a spec sheet.
Do not overclock in 2d mode it's not necessary.
Probably not an issue if you have good cooling in your case and the ambient room temp is respectable.
If you want to overclock, let the 3d detect set it initially and then take the overall speed and reduce it by 5% or so. You may not notice failure right away if your eye is not trained to see the problems. So it's best to be conservative if you are not an experienced overclocker.

Why is Pages so unstable? Too many photos
I'm doing a 75 page book with up to 15 images on a page per client requirement. After about 7 pages the app crashes. Bought a new Mac Pro with 5.5 ram and ample hd space with fresh installs and still crashes. What is going on. Tried with more fresh installs on other new drives with the absolutely virgin Leopard that has been fully upgraded...more crashes.
I have similar problems. Pages crashes frequently with a large project (90 pages with about 500 photos). This occurs on my PowerMac G5 (4.5GB ram) and also on a MacPro at the local Apple store. This is really disappointing -- I have many hours of work about to be lost. The crashes are random, with the crash report indicating a memory/kernel protection problem. This is clearly a serious bug, and Apple needs to fix it. Based on my experience, its not a user problem or corrupt file.
BTW, you can look at the contents of your pages project with the Finder "Show Package Contents" option (control or right click on the pages document). In my case it contains image files (jpg) that originated in Aperture as previews, I believe. It also contains an XML file with the guts of the document and finally some other files. The point is that Pages (and Keynote too) have a fairly simply file structure under the hood.
There was some mention about corrupt photos. I don't think this is the case. However, I often get messages from Pages complaining that an image I attempted to drop from Aperture to Pages is corrupt. It is clearly not corrupt -- this message must be due to some other error that caused a failure. I have seen this enough to know that I don't have corrupt images -- and doubt that other users have corrupt images.
It is noteworthy that my 90 page document consumes 3GB real memory and even more virtual. This is absurd for a document whose file is only 100 MB. This points to some naive programming and quality testing. Apple needs to test this software on real documents, not just toy problems designed by programmers for programmers. -
ORA-25307: Enqueue rate too high, flow control enabled
I am stuck. I have my stream setup and they were previously working on two of my dev environments well. Now when I get the streams setup the CAPTURE process has a state of "CAPTURING CHANGES" for like 10 seconds and then changes to state "PAUSED FOR FLOW CONTROL". I believe this is happening because the PROPAGATION process is showing an error of "ORA-25307: Enqueue rate too high, flow control enabled".
I don't know what to tweak to get rid of this error message. The two environments are dev databases and there is minimal activity on them so i don't think it's a case of the APPLY process is lagging behind the PROPAGATION process. Has anyone run into this issue?? I've verified my db link works, my stream admin user has dba access. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, daveAs rule of thumb, you don't need to set GLOBAL_NAME=TRUE as long as your are 100% GLOBAL_NAME compliant.
So, setting GLOBAL_NAME=TRUE will not have any effect if your dblink is not global_name compliant
and if your installation is global_name compliant, you don't need to set GLOBAL_NAME=TRUE.
The first thing when you diagnose is to get the exact facts.
Please run this queries both on source and target so that to see what are in the queues and where.
Run it multiple time to see if figures evolves.
- If they are fixed, then your Streams is stuck in its last stage. As a cheap and good starting point, just stop/start the capture, propagation and target apply process. Check also the alert.log on both site. when you have a propagation problem, they do contains information's. If you have re-bounced everything and no improvement then the real diagnose work must start here but then we know that the message is wrong and the problems is elsewhere.
- if they are not fixed then your apply really lag behind for what ever good reason, but this is usually easy to find.
