Need to monitor performance - best recommendation

We're going to be doing a dry-run of year-end processing and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on collecting some database performance data.
What should I be using etc...
I am running Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Solaris 9
Any input is appreciated.

You should change the format used for the snap_id column in the report. Open the source and change that - add some extra 999.
The same behaviour you can get on all large numbers which should be displayed in the report.
Here is a simple test:
SQL> column dummy format 999
SQL> select 99999 as dummy from dual;
DUMMY

Suggestions welcome...what all reports needed to monitor DB performance

Hi All,
Could you all please let me know what reports would you need to monitor a database. I am writing something that one could use to monitor database. not like statspack which would take snaps at regular intervals but a GUI where in you would click on a particular button a get the report at that instance. some reports like indexes that need rebuild. queries taking lot of time...users, their roles,undo stats, cache hits..
So do let me know what all reports u can think of and i will try and put them together.. doing it for my dissertation work.. so please please help with your valuable inputs..
regards,
Kailas

A good stuff is a program that shows when a event in v$system_event is out of range of normal condition operation(so you have to use some statistics functions, and store a continuos baseline), and what session is doing this injury.

Need help finding the best Mac for gf

hi I need help finding the best desktop. I am looking to buy MAC for gf.
she uses final cut program question is does the GB/RAM/STORAGE matter on performance?
She has a 2009 Apple computer I want to upgrade her to a new one
I Dont know much when it comes to specs. She edits tons of videos and pictures.
what's recommended for a video/photo editor that's good in performance ?

Pro consumer might go with iMac even.
Final Cut Pro latest benefits from dual AMD graphics.
Video is one animal, graphics a much different.
Great site full of performance, buying and configuration ideas:
MacPerformance Go to the main topics
I think you need to get clear on budgets. start with mid range and add all the options and can spend $4,000 or $7,000.
Go to the Mac Store and do some looking and Google for reviews of software, hardware of course.
Barefeats
Rumors Pro
Visit the forum for FCP-X would be a place to start.
Final Cut Pro X

Video Card Addition (need 3 monitors)

I am currently using a 2 X 2.8GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card and I am needing 3 monitors on this machine. (2 monitors is cutting it) What is the best upgrade to do this? Am I better off purchasing another 8800 card or would something like the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro card do the job?

What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and have
2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
(5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings. (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
(ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary.
(Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
Schema Master
Domain Naming Master
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
RID
PDC Emulator
Infrastructure Master
Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
I will be waiting for your valuable comments.
Regards,
Muhammad Daud

Here I want to know the best practice
and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
In case if
Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

FWSM interface monitoring and best practices documentation.

Hello everyone
I have a couple of questions regarding vlan interface monitoring and best practices specifically for this service module.
I couldn’t find a suggestion or guideline as for how to define a VLAN interface on a management station. The FWSM total throughput is 5.5gbs and the interfaces are mapped to vlans carried on trunks over 10gb etherchannels. Is there a common practice, or past experience, to set some physical parameters to logical interfaces? "show interface" command states BW as unknown.
Additionally, do any of you have a document addressing best practices for FWSM? I have this for other platforms and general recommendations based on newer ASA versions but nothing related to FWSM.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Guido

Hi,
If you are looking for some more command to check for the throughput through the module:-
show firewall module <number> traffic
Also , I think as this is End of life , you might have to check for some old documentation from Cisco on the best practices.

Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks?

Hi,
Please advice that currently we have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well.
Please advise that which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks. E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. Please advise us the full windows release version as we will upgrade windows as per your suggestion.
We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1

Please refer to the Installation Guide for Windows server requirements. Here is the link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html#wp1099303
Given that you want to stay with Windows Server, Server 2008 Standard Edition with service Pack 2 would be your best choice.
NOTE that your should not (and cannot) use Server 2008 R2. That version in only supported with LMS 4.0.1. LMS 3.2 will not work with Server 2008 R2.
With a 64-bit OS, you can increase your RAM - which is usually constraining system performance on systems with 32-bit OS. I recommend just putting in 16 MB. Why skimp on $100 RAM with $20,000 software?
Your other alternative is to divide the server roles across several machines. That is a pretty complex task so I'd do the OS and RAM upgrade first and see how that helps you out.
Re "Linux" LMS 3.2 (and 4.0/4.0.1) is only supported on Windows and Solaris operating systems. Plus if you're not a Uniux admin, the learning curve can be steep for your first dip in the water.

Best recommendation: polling frequency for imap/pop

I need some advice about the polling frequency recommendation for Applications that will use imap/pop connexion to servers. What should be the best recommendation about it?

For your best long-term interests, your best recommendation for applications is to use EWS and not these light clients. And keep in mind that these older versions of Exchange are not going to get support in the near future (in fact Exchange 2003 is
probably out of support already).
That being said, if the application is polling, it's up to them to determine how often in order for their application to be both responsive for end users and not cause extreme server issues. You can (of course) keep the latter from being an issue with
throttling.

I used YourKit on a project about a year ago. I've used a few other profilers and this one was the simplest to install, configure, and use in my opinion. I was doing basic CPU profiling of a WebLogic Portal application on my machine using YourKit within about a few hours of learning of the existence of YourKit. I used it to find performance bottlenecks and it did the job.

I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

lornamarieslade
Are you working with .mod standard or widescreen?
If .mod standard, less problematic. The file just might import without issue. Worst case would probably be changing the file extension from .mod to .mpg just prior to import.
Now .mod widescreen is another story that revolves around maintaining the 16:9 flag that scretches the video for display after encoding. Some have said that the 16:9 flag is lost in the transfer to computer; some say certain editors such as Premiere Elements just cannot read/recognize the flag. Whatever the case this is what you should consider in your Premiere Elements 7 Windows.
a. If you need to rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg, do so prior to import.
b. Import the .mod or .mpg counterpart into your Premiere Elements 7 project using the project preset NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen (NTSC or PAL depends on your location of interest). You will probably see that the video does not fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor (you will probably see standard 4:3 looking image rather than widescreen 16:9 looking image).
c. Right click the file in the Project media area, select Interpret Footage, and, in the Interpret Footage Dialog/Pixel Aspect Ratio section, dot the Conform To: and change the setting to
D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
or
D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
depending on your location of interest.
A while back there used to be a program called SD Copy that did the job of file name change and adding the 16:9 flag prior to import of the .mod widescreen into Premiere Elements. But, I have lost track of the SD Copy and suspect that is it no longer available. I have dealt with this issue many times at a forum that I formerly frequent. Most have reported back that this workaround worked for them. It is worth a try. I am looking forward to your results.
If you do opt to upgrade to Premiere Elements 11 Windows (please go tryout before purchase), I am eager to learn how your .mod widescreen is handled by version 11 in your computer environment.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...I just came across this download for SDCopy. It does not give the appearance of the original the link to which is broken. I have not downloaded and used the following since I do not have any .mod widescreen. So, no guarantees. Please let us know the outcome if you try it if Interpret Footage does not work for you.

What are the steps needs to be perform to define a data model

What are the steps needs to be perform to define a data model
a. Information Gathering
b. Hardware & Software
c. Structure the Information MDM
d. Transfer into a Physical Model BW data model
e. Explore use of existing model Business Content

Hi Siva,
 Very first activity is Proof of concept (POC), here we have to show How BW works for clients Reporting requirement during POC we as BW consultants need to creat some sample BW back end objects and also some reports based on business requirement. This is very crucial stage as Client Judge wethere BW would meet his demands. If every thing is fine then next step is Bidding.
After Bidding the contract then actual Project intiates. from here we follow ASAP methodology.

Project Preparation
Here Senior Consultant would go to Client place for Business Process Transistion and to know in what way the Architectue should be set up so here Basis People will come into picture.
Blue Print
Transistion could be understood by BRD (Business Requirement Documents) BRD states what is exact requirement and it is given by End users.
 By seeeing thr BRD's we as BW consultants must prepare APPlication Design Documents . The Application Design Documents states all the Technical aspects that needs to be performed as BW backend and also as well as Frontend.
Realization Phase
Here as BW consultants we must start confuguring as mentioned in ADD's by taking care of all performance aspects, once all the configuration are done we do Unit testing. unit testing is an activity where we check all the design process wether it running correct or not. After unit testing we move the design objects to Qulaity for Integration Testing.
Testing
 Here end user will check all the objects, reports on end to end basis. after integration testing is done then UAT ( User acceptance Testing) would come into picture where user check each process and sign off.
Go live
Here all the object will be moved to Production where end users and power users can start working on the system. intially for some days Development team would be taking care of all support activites there after it will be transitoned to support team.
Hope It helps you.
Assign Points if it usefull

Need more 2D performance with RX9800 Pro

Hello,
I need more 2d performance with this card, better vector work optimization and so on. I'm work with Illustrator CS2, and it's too "slow" when i am dragging, etc.
Is any way to incerase 2d performance ? Some unofficial drivers, or some "hack" ?
Configuration:
MSI K8T NEO 2
CPU Athlong 64 3000+
RX9800 PRO
2x512 Apacer 400Mhz CL2.5
Seagate 120GB S-ATA
PSU 500W chill

There isn't any optimization for that card to speak of with what you are doing.
I would think a Matrox card would be better suited, but I am also speculating. It is far better at 2d performance regarding raster/vector operations.
There might be a way to optimise the driver code, but I have no idea how.
You might want to look into communities related to the work your are doing. I do remember Adobe has a forum and tech docs, perhaps you might find what you are looking for there http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html

PowerMac 8600 Needs New Monitor

I have an 8600 that needs a monitor. Exactly what type of adapter do I need to hookup a monitor (crt) to it?
Thanks

The signals involved:
Red intensity and its ground
Green intensity and its ground
Blue intensity and its ground
Horizontal Sync -- indicates start and end of one row of dots across the screen
Vertical Sync -- Indicates start and end of one screenful of rows of dots
... can only be transposed from the typical
"VGA-style" three-row 15 pin Male (with pins) connector on the cable-end to the
Apple "two-row" 15 pin Female (with holes) connector on the Mac Display Card
... in one way that will work.
The poorly-documented "feature" that will trip you up is that the Macs of that era expect a code on pins 4, 7, and 10 that tells the Mac what kind of display is attached. If no signals are asserted, grounded, or cross-connected with wires or diodes on those pins, the default of "No display attached" gives no picture.
You need an adapter specific to the broad class of displays you intend to connect. There are over 17 different legitimate codes for Mac displays, but frankly, most of them are for obsolete displays. The most common still used are for VGA Display (640 by 480 and Super VGA 640 by 800) and Multiple-Sync display (640 by 480 and 832 by 624 and 1024 by 768 and possibly 1152 by 870) switchable on the fly. And it needs to be specific to older Macs and have the pins and holes on the correct sides. There are other adapters for a different problem that have the pins and holes reversed.
