How to get Maximum Number of Concurrent users for last few days?

Hi,
How I can get maximum number of concurrent users which were logged in to the system (ECC 5.0) I mean I want to check the hostory for last few weeks. Is there any way to get the same? I know that I can get Cumulative number of users in st03 under Expert mode but that is the number of users logged into the system during the day. Is there any place where SAP maintians the High Watermark of Number of concurrent users reached in the system?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Pravin

Sorry I really missed that I have posted a question here on sdn. I wanted to know this for planning the system hardware requirements. Activities like PM ( Performance Management ) happens once a year and during that activity we see heavy user loan on the system so if I have the exact stats of 1 or 2 years data I can size the system better next time. Fortunately last 2 years PM was very smooth for us. In that look for the improvement because each time we had little extra Harware. By doing the exact analysis we can save a Cost of ownership...
I was looking for R/3 users. I could see the number in st07 but I want to know the exact number at particular time.. I believe that st07 stores only for few days.
Thanks
Pravin

Safari has become very slow the last few days, only on a few programs - google, youtube, wikipedia. Also mail is slow to send and receive.

Safari and mail have become slow only the last few days. Mail is slow to send and receive, but e-mails do come through. Safari is very slow to load on only a few web sites - google, wikipedia, youtube. But fine on others.
OS X 10.6.2
Safari 4.0.3
Mail 4.2

Hi Andy...
safari, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
10.6.2 / 4.0.3...
Whether you are running Mac OS X 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 your system software is completely outdated.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Your Mac OS X needs to be at v10.6.8 / Safari should be 5.1.7
And make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Speed very slow for last 3 days or so.....121kbps ...

M speed is usually 1.5mb been down to about 300 the last few days and dipped now at 121 and just a measly 97 this morning....
done all the usual checks, and i noticed on a local internet forum last night that other is my area are suffering the same too with no explanation from BT
(my daling code is 01595)
phoned BT...he said there were no faults it must be my end, repeated all the checks including the microfilter, he then said there WAS a problem with outtage and it would be 8 days before my speed was returned to normal....when i questioned this he explained it was cos of a powercut somewhere in the UK for 4 hours?????eh?
he then went on to quiz me if i had selected 1 when i phoned to leave feedback, when i said i had he seemed quite aggitated, quized me more about selecting to leave feedback and told me this effected his performance.
he then told me not to phone BT again for the next 10 days as this would confuse people and it would be an extra week on top of the 8 days i would have to wait for my normal broadband speed.
i am obviously totally disatisfied...i just want to know why my speed is slow and when it will return to normal
anyone help.???
my dailing code is not on any of the service status pages

is this what you mean

i phoned BT again, spent 2 hours on the phone!!! we went through the usual checks etc, this time they
tested the line properly and confirmed they could see i had very slow speed, but couldn't tell me why?
they said they would reset the line and i should see an improvement in 24 to 48 hours and it should return to usual in 8 day?? i still dont understand.....
and its still as slow as 112kbps..as me and partner both rely on internet for our work and training its just painful waiting for this to be solved!!
i just want a clear explantion what is happening/why its happening and when will it be fixed?

No service in Cullompton for last few days

No service in Cullompton Devon for the last 5 days! Yet again!
On going problem sine May; EE don't seem to able to fix the issue!

Hi ,
As mentioned in the other thread we are aware of the fault and our engineers are working on it now. We will aim to have full service resumed as soon as possible.
I'm very sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks

Why can't I now clear History for last few days or weeks , as I used to ?

Unless I recall a few months ago incorrectly, I could choose different time periods for clearing History; now only a day or several hours. Is that new, or can i go back to the older technique?
Thank you, Paul G.

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''History'''
Delete the History items of days as you want. Check and tell if its working.

Comments Disabled for last few days

Are other people having this problem? And when will comments be restored?
Thanks for any help,
Jason

From some of the earlier posts, it seemed like the problems with the comments not working could be partly related to browsers.
I tried the different browsers that I got at home and had the following results:
Windows compatible desktop computer with Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 - Comment entry did not work
Windows compatible desktop computer with Safari 3.1.2 - Comment entry worked
MacBook with OS X 10.5.4 with Safari 3.1.2 - Comment entry worked
MacBook with OS X 10.5.4 with Firefox 2.0.0.14 - Comment entry worked
So check comments with different browsers.

I have firefox 3.6 installed in my laptop but for past few days i have been unable to start it, I uninstalled firefox once and reinstalled it but nothing positive haapened.

I am using windows 7. As I mentioned in the question that firefox has stopped working for last few days though chrome is working fine but as i prefer firefox so i need help. I tried all sort of permutation like uninstalling and reinstalling it and then installing the other versions but nothing worked.

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

ADSL connection very slow last few days

I have also been having the same issue, and have never had slow internet speeds before these last few days.
I've tried resetting the hub a few times but that has made no difference.
I have also tried the BT speed test website but get an error after a minute or so stating that the test could be run, but it does not give a reason. I have in the past used this service without issue.
Any thoughts welcome.

Hi ecm200,
The first thing I've noticed from your router stats is the connection time??
Did you just reset the router before you posted them, has the connection been dropping or do you turn the router off when your not using the Internet?
The last 2 points above will cause the speed to drop as the BT Server will see the dropping connection and reduce the speed to maintain a more stable connection.
The second thing I noticed was the Noise margin (15.8dB). This is slightly higher than normal (the best SNR Margin would be 6dB). This may be caused by the location of the router in your house. If you have the router connected to an extension socket, you should move the hub to the Master/Test socket and see what the speed is here.
Have a look at the following link for more info on this:
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13892/c/346
Obviously, you will need to be able to check the stats from the hub and moving a desktop PC may be troublesome so if you can either can connect wirelessly, or on a laptop with an Ethernet cable, you will be able to see the stats again.
If the speed is still poor, or the Noise Margin still as high as you have posted, you need to raise the fault with BT.
This is the link to email BT Tech Support and you have more chance of speaking to someone in the UK:

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and for the last few days, it has been itslow to load anything, especially web pages. I get the rainbow swirl when loading or reloading. I guess I am spoiled. Up until now it was lightening fast!

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages. I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it. I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or "failed".
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.

Now, when you check the status of Airport hardware it says "Not Associated".

I have tried using different OS 10.7, 10.8... further OS doesn't suit my MacBook, so currently I am on 10.6. I did reinstallation twice using 10.6 but the files were not restored.
Yes.. I am talking about internet wireless card.
I don't have back up files for files which i deleted and they are not in trash as well.... the reason I deleted files was from the image attached from OSXdaily.com
I have tried resetting the PRAM, NVRAM, SMC but to no use.
now what do I do.??

I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
Thanks
Zia

It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
Please help

Hi, I m using an iPhone 4 and my yahoo push email was working just fine but for the last few days I am experiencing some problem that is the emails are not getting pushed , I have to manually fetch the mails.

Will it get rectified and restored...if so after how long. What could be the reason for such outage kindly share, as I am facing real problem because of this...

The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!
