Microsoft Excel slowing down and other problems when SAP BPC EPM Add-in is installed

Hello,
Our client is having some problems with Microsoft Excel (MS Office 2013) since the SAP BPC EPM Add-in was installed in their computers.
They are suffering from Microsoft Excel slowing down, even when not connected to SAP BPC (10.0 NW version).
For example, when opening two or more excel archives, not connected to SAP BPC, Microsoft Excel crashes and is restarted with errors.
Have you experienced something similar in other installations?
Thank you very much, and kind regards,

In relation to the previous post , we have to emphasize that we have installed in ours PC's:
MS Office 2010  14.0.7116.5000  32 bit,
EPM add-on version 10.0  SP20  (10.0.0.8993).
and our customer have installed in theirs PC's:
MS Office 2013 15.0.4675.1001 32-bit.
EPM add-on version 10.0 SP19 patch 1 .NET 3.5 compilation 936.
Thank you very much

  • Why does my footage Slow down and loose audio when imported to after effects cs6?

    Whenever I import video of any kind into after effects, it slows down and looses audio. It happens for every video. The weird thing is, it seems like it doesnt happen to anyone else on the internet. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I am about to cry. I cant do anything with this stupid software! If there is a solution please tell me. Its really annoying.
    extra info-
    On Mac
    mov. Files
    H.264 codec

    Slows down when? When you preview? Do you know how to preview?
    If you are pressing the space bar to preview the video then the behavior you are seeing is normal. AE will not playback in real time with autio unless you do a ram preview (look it up). You must learn to use the software.
    Start with the three videos on this page: Basic Workflow
    Or check out these resources: AE Basics

  • Is it possible to define one language for every imported text? And other problems when placing text.

    Problem is, that Indesign cc 2014 does not recognize language correctly. In my case it should always be slovenian (and documents like doc and docx are set to slovenian), but it set it as slovakian. I get many documents from different programs (Word, Libre Office, Open Office ...). And setting every one after placing it into document is time consuming. Word import was working great in InDesign 5.5. Now it just mixes local character formating. Also: importing docx takes too long, and when in document is some picture, it just freeze. So I must first open every doc/docx file and delete every picture/logo that is inside.
    Any suggestions?

    Check the language of your default Character Style. If it's set to Slovakian, change it to Slovenian with no documents open.

  • Start-up / shut-down (and other) problems with ZFS over iSCSI

    Hi,
    I've had a limited time in which to try some concepts on an evaluation x4500 server. This is unfortunately my last day, so by the time anyone can reply I will probably not be able to to further tests, but maybe someone will be able to reproduce the issues.
    I'm using the evaluation server to export some iSCSI targets, and I'm connecting to them from my laptop, which has a fresh installation of SXDE 01/08. I was able to attach to the targets with
    iscsiadm add static-config \
    iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:f4281081-c3fc-e448-c8f0-943d8861c9e8,192.168.15.62

    iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:371c6fe7-f0c8-e02c-c865-baef90fb71ce,192.168.15.62

    iscsiadm modify discovery -s enableThis made the appropriate entries appear in /dev/dsk so I could then set up a simple zpool and zfs filesystem with:
    zpool create -m none dPool c3t010000144FA70C1400002A0047C2BF73d0 \
    c3t010000144FA70C1400002A0047C2BF81d0 c3t010000144FA70C1400002A0047C2BF8Bd0
    zfs create -o mountpoint=/data -o sharenfs=on dPool/dataThe general concept I'm testing is having a ZFS-based server using an IP SAN as a growable source of storage, and making the data available to clients over NFS/CIFS or other services. In principle this solution should also allow failover to another server, since all the ZFS data and metadata is in the IP SAN, not on the server. Although not done in this example it should also be possible to run raidz across multiple iSCSI disk arrays. However, it's not been a bed of roses. I've had a lot of errors in dmesg like the following, which I think are causing zfs/zpool commands to stall at times:

Surely they should be talking the same language!
    The main problems however are with shutdown and start-up. On occasions, I suspect that the ordering of ZFS, iSCSI and network services gets a bit out of sync. On one occasion the laptop even refused to complete the shutdown because it was reporting a continuous stream of console messages like

    943d8861c9e8I also get these on start-up, where it looks like ZFS tries to load the zpool configuration before iSCSI has found the disks, and even worse, iSCSI is starting up before nwamd has time to do its network auto-magic, and complains that the devices are unavailable.
    If these problems sorted themselves out after everything came up, I wouldn't really mind some temporary complaints in the log file, but what I get after a reboot is a working zpool but an unmounted ZFS filesystem! Here is what I have today:

    Since zfs is supposed to take care of its own mounts rather than using vfstab, I can't use "mount /data" to force this to mount. The only workaround I've found is to export and import the zpool. Then I get the filesystem to reappear:
    bash-3.2# df -h /data
    Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
    dPool/data              29G   480M    29G     2%    /dataDoes anyone know if these are known issues with snv_79b, and is there a fix available or in the works?

    EasyE, Welcome to the discussion area!
    (a) Call Apple and get your iMac G5 fixed since it is in the repair extension group. Don't waste your time doing anything else.
    (b) This area is for discussing the iMac G4. Since you have an iMac G5 in the future you should post in the iMac G5 discussion area.

  • Slow Response and Other Problems

    In recent days I have been having several problems. Some times programs will not quit on force quit instead I get the spinning colored ball. If I try to reboot it may take a long time (10 minutes or more). Today the printer would say printing in progress but it would not print. Then I have noticed some of the icons in the dock appear as a blank square. After rebooting today, I was able to print.

    Check out the full list of repairing, maintenance, backing up, diagnosing a system and disk drive. There are also those "10 Step" programs to keeping a mac healthy, and always, "how to safely update your system" to avoid problems.
    It is almost always due to a pre-existing problem, unless there is some software that is now out of date that needs to be updated.
    You'll want a backup drive and a 2nd emergency boot disk. At the worst, you may need to do a full reinstall. And might want to erase + zero-all the drive in the process.
    At the least, run FSCK from Single User Mode on startup. If you have Applejack installed, use that. If you have not verified if the drive needs to be repaired (not permissions, though that too) do so (but never ever use an older version of Disk Utility from earlier than 10.4.3).

  • Horizontal lines, slow boot and other problems...

    Lately our iMac has developed a few issues. For starters there seems to be horizontal lines that appear randomly on the desktop, in programs like safari, firefox and just about any other programs. They seem to be completely random and actually seem to happen more under my user name than my wife's. I've also noticed that booting up takes a heck of alot more time than it used to. I can even boot up my aging PC faster than this. Also the overall performance seems sluggish. I've also noticed that the screen dims all the time. I could be watching a 3min movie on youtube and have the screen dim. We've never changed any settings and I can't see any reason behind this.
    I've verified and repaired file permissions, but don't know where else to go from there. I'm much more used to fixing PC's than dealing with a Mac. Speaking of which....
    Even though there are quite a few things I like about the iMac (we've had this one for about 2yrs now), I'm really beginning to doubt that they are worth the higher price tag. So far we've had both the mouse and keyboard just stop working (using a cheapo Logitech combo right now), can't stand that multiple users can't access the same pictures from iPhoto, and now these current problems. I guess my question is if this is normal for a Mac. I've always had problems with Windows, but they are easily fixed and never the hardware problems like I'm having with the Mac. We plan to get a notebook soon, but I'm wary of buying another mac.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    For starters there seems to be horizontal lines that appear randomly on the desktop, in programs like safari, firefox and just about any other programs.
    This is the sign of a lemon, so no, it is not normal of a Mac to do this. Run the hardware test that came with the Mac on its installer discs. If it detects nothing, point out the issue to an authorized service center.
    The chances of it happening to a Mac are less, but by no means is it nil. That's what the warranty is for, if you keep good care of your machine.

  • Excel slows down when network drive is mapped

    Since a couple of months we are experiencing strange behaviour of excel (2011) on Lion 10.7.5
    Excel versions from 14.3.1. to 14.3.4 all the same behaviour.
    Symptom 1)
    When I connect the Time Capsule drive , Excel slows down by factor 100 when entering text. Needs up to 2 seconds to react on a key stroke.
    When I disconnect the handle, excel works fast again.
    (repeatable, reproducible)
    Symptom 2)
    on the network drive, always at the same place, a file named ~abcde.xls... occurs (exact name forgotten, but it is a recent file name
    preceded with a tilde sign)
    deleting of the file does not affect speed
    the file reappears occasionally (TC backup is switched off!)
    Where is the ghost??? :-D
    maybe these symptoms are uncorrelated.
    Why the heck does Excel slow down when I open the network drive??
    Why does this happen on 10.7.5 and not on 10.6.8?
    Anyone any idea?
    thanks,
    Stefan

    Thanks. Away on holiday right now, but will do it as soon as I get back next week.
    Out of curiosity, the external drive works fine when connected directly via USB to the laptop. I took that to mean that the problem wasn't to do with the drive, but probably the network. Is it possible there could be a problem with the drive which only shows up when it's used as a network drive?

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    Hi
    Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
    Cheers. Don
    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.

    Hi All,
    I have windows 7 SP1 64 bit machine with 8 GB of RAM. and have office 365 pro plus installed on it. I use windows explorer preview pane a lot and suddenly it has stopped working. Whenever I click on any excel, power-point, word file with the preview pane
    enabled it gives me the error as below:
    for Excel: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.
    For Power point: there is not enough memory or system resources to start power point.
    However the file opens fine when I double click it. I have tried the following"
    1. Repaired, re-installed office 365 pro plus.
    2. Disabled, enabled and changed virtual memory page file size. It did not make any difference.
    3. Have verified folder and search options and they are fine for the preview pane.
    Is there anything we can do about it?

    Since we were unable to reproduce in my test machine, we were unable to determine the root cause of the problem.  This seems to be happening when Windows is trying instantiate the Office application for the preview in the Preview pane, if the repair
    Office still doesn't work, we might turn our mind onto Windows OS level.
    Here is my suggestion:
    1. Disable all of security programs or Anti-virus on that machine.
    2. Disable DEP.
    3. If you installed any video or graphic codec programs, please temporary to remove them to check the result.
    Feel free to post back.

  • Flash html5 - How can i make an internal movie clip slow down and stop when it get to a certain frame?

    I am creating an automotive braking system using flash and have a wheel turning. I want the wheel to slow down and stop after the brake pedal is pushed at a certain frame. I know I could do this with frame by frame animation but was hoping there was a short cut - javascript?? If not the slowing down portion then is there code for just making the internal movie clip (wheel turning) to stop when it gets to a frame.? Thanks

    you can use the ticker class to create a loop that you use to control the wheel's rotation or frame, TweenJS v0.6.0 API Documentation : Ticker

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • When downloading CS 5.5 from the direct link it eventually slows down and stops.  How am I supposed to download the file?

    I am trying to download CS 5.5 on to my new laptop since my old one died.  I am using the direct link found Download CS5.5 products.  It starts off fine but it slows down and eventually stops.  How am I supposed to download the entire file?  I am using Chrome on Windows 8.1 if it makes any difference.

    Adding to What Anand has mentioned, please make sure that any online active Defence system should be turned off ( For eg, Kaspersky, Norton or AVG ). Also, if you are behind a corporate network, please try a different network and check again.

  • How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

    Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013.  I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4.  I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May.  In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty.  Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear.  The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down.  I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem.  I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow.  If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed.  I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac.  I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again.  When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory.  I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64).  I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit.  I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory.  They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user.  If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive.  They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.
