ODS Settings and performance

Could any of the following ODS settings individually or in combination have an impact on performance?
BEx Reporting
Set quality status to 'OK' automatically
Activate ODS object data automatically
My ODS will have a maximum of 250,000 records and is only an InfoProvider to 4 queries and is not used for staging. Thanks

Hi Niten!
If you built (as you said) some query on your ODS, you need (as you already know) BEx reporting checkbox flagged.
Clearly this have some impact when you activate every request since the systems have to work with SIDs too (in order to have the reporting capabilities and to let OLAP processor work).
Anyway, in order to identify the relevance of this impact, this depends from many other factors (how much powerful is the system you have...); but if every single request (as you wrote) contains only a few records, don't worry !
Set... and Activate... flags: no performance impact because are a simple automation process...anyway, you have to activate your ODS!!!
Flag always the first one "Set..." (generally speacking), flag "Activate..." if you want to start automatically the activation and you don't use the process chain, other wise don't flag it and insert the specific process in a PC...
Hope now it's clearer...
Bye,
ROberto

I have PS CC. If I download PS CS3, to be able to use an older filter, will it mess up my CC settings and performance?

Hi Digitalartist,
It will not affect the performance but it might change the default to CS3 Photoshop.
You might check in bridge for the file associations whether the extensions like Jpegs, PSD etc have Photoshop CC selected.
Also check the default program for the images if you are directly opening images with Photoshop.
Thanks

New Performance Settings and Improvements in 2004s

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a document or website with all performance settings that are
new in BI 2004s (and that were not available in BW 3.5 or lower).
If this information is not grouped yet, I want to invite everyone to gather the 2004s specific performance information in this thread. The improvements that I'm aware of are:
Write-optimized DSO: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/de1c42128a5733e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
BI Accelerator http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/06/49c0417951d117e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Optimization hint for logical MultiProvider partitioning (native in BI 2004s) Note 911939
Of course there must be more.
Best regards,
Danië

You are partially rite and you mentioned the new settings which come along with the aforementioned settings
Heres my take on few others -
1)Tcode = RSODSO_SETTINGS
used for Parallel activation of ODS to improve performance
2)RSCUSTV25
Query- SQL Split
Data mart Query Split
3)se16-->RSADMIN
DB_STATISTICS = OFF
OSS note 938040 - as per SAP
As of Support Package 8, the parameter is no longer used. This means that BI triggers the creation of database statistics, regardless of this parameter. The database itself determines whether the statistics are to be created or changed.
Tool BRCONNECT to be used after loading of all cubes.
4)RSCUSTV8
Reporting Lock = X
If you set this parameter to X, database commits are executed during master data activation. This prevents an overflow of rollback segments. Because temporary inconsistent states can occur here, reporting is locked during this time.
If you currently load large quantities of data in which many values change, leading to problems with the rollback segments, you should set this parameter.
5)Parallel Processing of query
Se16-->RSADMIN
QUERY_MAX_WP_DIAG = 6
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=4695392&messageID=2935804

Here you get all the different independent areas which you can work to perk up the
performance related issues.

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.

Performence on ODS settings

Hi BW Guru's
i have some doubts
1 .what is relation b/w perfromence and ODS settings ?
2.what is Nav att and why wee use and where we use ?
i will assign points for good annswer#
                                          Thank u
                                           PSR

Hi PSR
To optimize performance of ODS
1.      Creating SIDs
The creation of SIDs takes a long time and can be avoided in the following cases by:
¡        Not setting the indicator for BEx Reporting if you are using the ODS object only as a data store. If you do set this indicator, SIDs are created for all new characteristic values.
¡        If you use line items (for example, document number or time stamp) as characteristics in the ODS object, in the characteristic maintenance, indicate these as Attribute Only.
SIDs are created in parallel if parallel activation is switched on (see last point). They are then created with the same number of parallel processes as created for the activation.
However, if you specify a server group or a special server in customizing, these specifications are not only valid for the activation, but also for the SID creation. The creation of SIDs runs on the application server on which the batch job also runs.
       2.      DB partitioning in active data tables (technical A table)
By partitioning by database level, you can delete data from the ODS object much more quickly. As a partitioning criterion, choose the characteristic by which you want to delete. For more information on partitioning database tables, see the database documentation (DBMS-CD). Partitioning is supported by the following databases: Oracle, DB2/390, Informix.
       3.      Indexing
Use selection criteria for queries for ODS objects. If the key fields are specified, the existing primary index is used. The more frequently accessed characteristic should appear on the left-hand side.
If you did not specify the key fields completely in the selection criteria (visible in the SQL trace), you improve the run time of the query by creating additional indexes. You can create these secondary indexes in the ODS object maintenance.
       4.      Activation of data in an ODS object
To improve system performance when activating data in the ODS object, you can make the following entries in Customizing under SAP Customizing Implementation Guide ® SAP NetWeaver ® Business Information Warehouse ® General BW Settings ® ODS Object Settings:
¡        the maximum number of parallel processes when activating data in the ODS object as when moving SIDs
¡        the minimum number of data records for each data package when activating data in the ODS object, meaning you define the size of the data packages that are activated
¡        the maximum wait time in seconds when activating data in the ODS object. This is the time when the main process (batch process) waits for the dialog process that is split before it classifies it as having failed.
¡        the server group that needs to be used when activating the data in ODS objects in parallel You have to create the server groups beforehand using the following path: Tools ® Administration ® Network ® RFC Destination, RFC ® RFC Groups. If you do not specify anything here, then the activation runs on the server on which the batch process was started for activation. If a server from the server group is not active, then the activation is cancelled.
       5.      Loading unique data records
If you only load unique data records (meaning data records with nonrecurring key combinations) into the ODS object, then the loading performance is improved when you set the indicator Unique Data Records in the ODS object maintenance. See Creating ODS Objects.
The records are then updated more quickly because the system no longer needs to check whether the record already exists. You do have to be sure that there duplicate records are definitely not being loaded, because this will lead to termination.
2.Navigational Atrributes behaves like characteristics in reports. with the help of this we can drill down in the reports. while this is not possible with the display attributes
Hope I had answer u r question
Thanks & Regards

Restoring to Factory Settings and Restore Backup on an iPod Touch 4G

I have seen many posts regarding restoring iPods to factory settings and then loading a backup. I have seen many posts about the "Other" storage space, too. But I haven't found any that address my specific issue. I'm mostly looking for some assurance that I won't lose all of my son's and daughter's hard work and the money we've spent on a couple games.
I have reviewed the Usage on my son's iPod via Settings < General < Usage. I added up the storage space of all the apps. It is 2.1 GB. This is what the "Apps" category shows is being used. The "Other" category shows it's using 2.3 GB. It is only an 8 GB iPod, so this "Other" is eating up a ton of space. He has no videos, only pictures he's taken (which isn't very many), apps (I keep those at a minimum), and music (which I also keep tight control over). How do I find out what this "Other" is, and how do I get rid of it? He doesn't have e-mail, and doesn't use the calendar, contacts, or notes. I've read posts which say I probably have corrupt files and have to perform a factory restore, which wipes everything out, then restore again from the latest backup, with no guarantee that the "Other" will go away. I've also read horror stories about the factory restore causing problems with the basic function of an iPod. I called Apple Support, and the young man I spoke to asked around (because he didn't know) and said that the data while using an app (games like My Horse and Angry Birds) is stored in the "Apps" category. How can I be sure of this? He has a game we've put a lot of time, energy, and some money into. I do not want this to be lost. I'm assuming that backing up from the lastest backup of the iPod will prevent this, but how can I be sure that the game information isn't part of the "Other"? If it is part of the "Other", and it doesn't get reloaded to the iPod from the backup restore, then it's lost. If this happens, I will be very upset. I'm frustrated and confused by all the conflicting information I've read. Does anyone know where the game data is stored? Does anyone know if the "Other" will be restored from the backup, and thus make the entire restore process pointless?
Please help!!

As you likely read already, the "other" category consists of those items not included in the enumerated categories. That is why it is called other. What is in it depends a lot upon what different app place it it.
2.1 GB seems large enough to it also contain corrupted files.
Usually restoring from backup reduces the other. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is necessary since the larger other may be included in the backup.

PhotoStream: Multiple Devices and Performance Issues

Had a bad night last night with PhotoStream. I have an iPhone 4S (AT&T), my wife has an iPhone 4 (VZW), we have an iPad 1 (Wi-Fi), Apple TV 2 (Ethernet), and a 2011 Mac Mini (Wi-Fi)... all in the same house that has a Time Capsule and is connected to AT&T DSL service, 3.0Mbps service (average speed test results are 2.65Mbps down, 315kbps up). Oh yeah, there's a micro-cell in there too but anytime there's trouble that gets shut off first so its irrelevant for this discussion.
So yesterday was Halloween and we both took alot of photos away from the house with the iPhones. Got home, started using the internet, noticed the performance was HORRIBLE. Speed test showed over 1,000 ms ping latency (I still can't believe I actually waited for it to finish the ping test) and nothing was getting through for the download / upload test. I have never (believe it or not) with AT&T DSL seen it get this bad. Its been bad before, don't get me wrong, but this was surprising even to me.
How did I come to the conclusion that PhotoStream was my issue you may ask? Well, its sort of a long story, but bear with me... The other day, we started having trouble with the Apple TV 2, which for the most part is pretty solid. My wife was streaming Netflix movies and it was stopping every 30 seconds. It was looking at this issue that had me first raise suspicions about PhotoStream. Just days before this problem started, I had enabled PhotoStream on the Apple TV 2. SO I did the first most logical thing anyone could do, I took a step back and disabled it. Problem solved. Thought nothing of it, yeah I was a little discouraged that I couldn't use it on the Apple TV 2, but not a big deal, my favorite part of PhotoStream is using it to get the photos into iPhoto without having to plug the iPhones in so I said to myself "I'll just keep putting the photos into Events and Albums until they work out the kinks on the AppleTV 2" thinking perhaps the Apple TV 2 needs to not update PhotoStream while videos are being played. They can fix that at some point, right? Sure they can.
Now, back to this other issue. My bandwidth last night was completely crapped out, and I was determined to prestige on Black Ops one last time so this had to change STAT! I mean, come on! I was at Level 47 and I was ready to GO! My internet connection just wasn't having it. I powered off the router, rebooted the modem, and powered on the rotuer again. Everything came up beautifully. I jumped into some Nuketown 24/7, 4 green bars next to my name and I was happy. After we lost Bravo, which on Nuketown takes about a minute and a half if both teams are fighting over it, I'm lagging like crazy and I have that little red bar that no one likes to see next to my name. Sure enough, speedtest results are all whacked out again.
So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what could this be? My wife was watching cable TV, my son was asleep... essentially the Xbox 360 was the only thing trying to use the internet... I thought... until I remembered our iPhones and the photos we had just taken and all the devices that would be simultaneously trying to update PhotoStream. Let's list them again, shall we?
iPhone 4S - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPhone 4 - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPad 1 - Download from Stream
Mac Mini - Download from Stream
So how can I prove this crazy theory of mine that the great and wonderful PhotoStream was choking my internet connection? Simple.
iPhone 4S - PhotoStream OFF
iPhone 4 - PhotoStream OFF
iPad 1 - PhotoStream OFF
Mac Mini - PhotoStream OFF
Speed test results immediately after doing this?
2.73Mbps down / .31Mbps up with 26ms ping time (used the Speedtest.NET app on the 4S).
Sadly, this means that for now, I cannot use PhotoStream, however I did manage to Prestige on Black Ops which made me happy, and the iPhone 4S can still be plugged into the Mac Mini to download my wonderful looking photos.
That's right, I didn't throw away the charger cables just yet and if you want to start talking about iTunes Wireless Synching with multiple devices in the same house, I can gladly take up some more of your time. Thats right, its OFF as well!

I just wanted to report that this is still an open and particularly nefarious bug. I've got a fairly idealized Apple household with 2 iPhone 4's, a 'new' iPad, a 13" Macbook Pro, Airport Express and our most recent addition this weekend... an Apple TV.
While I had no particular interest in enabling Photo Stream, I turned it on while messing with the screen saver settings and didn't think anything about it. As I began to play with my new toy I was immediately disappointed with all the long spinners and timeouts in Netflix. Later that day I noticed my computer and iPad were having similar connection issues. My first thought was 'oh, Comcast must be acting up, that's why my new Apple TV isn't working so well'.
Fast forward 3 days to today and our network issues were still occuring and I decided I needed to figure out what was going on. After mucking around in network settings for a couple hours I half-jokingly decided to disconnect the AppleTV on the whim that the issues started at the same time I hooked it up. Sure enough my network issues disappeared. I even went so far as to run continuous pings to various IP's outside my home network and watch the timeouts come & go as i plugged/unplugged my ATV. Now knowing the ATV was the problem I set out to figure out what in particular was causing it. As soon as I signed out of Photo Stream everything was working perfect again. Netflix on the ATV is quick & responsive, no more spinners or timeouts. My other devices aren't plagued with random disconnects, dns failures or slow downloads.
Long story short, something is bugged in AppleTV's Photo Stream support. Mine didn't appear to be downloading any new photos, it had stopped with 255 photos downloaded. Not sure if that was all I had in iCloud or maybe AppleTV can only pull down 255 max? Maybe 255 is the magic number where it hits the bug that causes this behavior? Either way, it appeared to be only affecting the outgoing internet connection, when I had a continous ping going to another machine on my internal LAN it didn't appear to get affected.
Hope this helps someone at Apple track down the bug. While someone technical can probably troubleshoot these issues I could see someone like my mom never putting the 2 + 2 together that her internet problems started around the time she enabled Photo Stream on her AppleTV and instead blaming it on 'the internet acting up again' and of course calling me months later to look into it for her.

I have multiple apple ids was backing up everything to iCloud from iPhone 5. I just bought iPhone 6 and perform a iCloud restore. I received a message that all files did not restore. How can I restore apps, files manually?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

IPhone G3 Battery and Performance Issues

I have a 16GB iPhone G3 (OS 3.1.2). It's only about 6 months old though it is the 4th iPhone G3 I've had since Sept '08. The others have been replaced by Apple for battery failure, modem failure and inability to stay 'connected' to a charging device even when physically still attached to the charger.
I have over 8GB of free space, Push is turned off, WiFI is turned off 99% of the time, and I don't have any major apps that might use up a lot of the battery or CPU cycles.
Ever since the 3.0 or 3.1 update:
* My battery performance is only about 1/3 of it's previous performance. I've charged it from two different Macs as well as the car charger but still get horrible horrible battery life. It has simply made the device undependable while I am away from a charger.
* My iPhone is regularly unresponsive. Sometimes for only 3 - 5 seconds, other times for up to 30 - 60 seconds. This happens whether or not the iPod is playing, whether or not Mail is downloading and even when nothing else at all is being used. This happens repeatedly throughout the day.
Many times all the input events are buffered so it tries to perform them all once when the phone comes out of its stupor. Other times nothing at all happens once it revives.
Several times a week I need to power it off just to get it to work again.
* A few times a week applications don't load or quit properly:
- Mail may load the header & footers but not the body of the app. None of the software controls work. Quitting the app and relaunching it does not resolve the problem - only a shutdown/restart does.
- The green 'Return to Call' bar will stick around after a call is over and can only be removed by placing another call, leaving the phone app, touching the green bar to return to the call and then ending the call.
- Maps loads the header & footer and a portion of the screen. None of the software controls work. Quitting the app and relaunching it sometimes resolves the problem but not always.
- After some calls end the entire screen appears 'disabled' and the 'Home' button doesn't work. This usually requires a restart to correct.
- The iPod will stop or stutter while some other process is running such as checking for mail or loading another app. What good is an iPod that can't play dependably while I use the device for other things?
- I drop so many calls that if 'calls' were 'passes' my iPhone could play for the NY Knicks. I suspect it's probably an AT&T coverage issue though I would hope the NYC metro area would have better coverage than this.
* Bluetooth just turns off all by itself. I have to go into the Settings and turn bluetooth back on. This happens with all three of the bluetooth headsets that I use.
~
The phone is acting like it occasionally has a 'race' condition that is eating up the CPU cycles. It is so often and so unpredictable that I cannot pinpoint what the cause is.
All this is very frustrating and tempting me to revert back to version 2 of the OS. I'm not happy at the thought of losing Copy & Paste but I certainly lose more time waiting for the device to decide to gets its act together than I would re-typing everything I copy & paste.
I've considered going back to the Apple store again for another replacement but I have little confidence that #5 will be my lucky iPhone. I'm not sure why the quality has been so 'un-apple like' but I'm 0 - 4 with iPhones even though I treat them with care. Since this dismal performance appears to coincide with either the 3.0 or 3.1 update I'm not convinced it's even a hardware problem this time.
As much as I depend on the phone & e-mail to run my business I can't rely on this iPhone at all.
James

I'd try to get a new one if you can. Hopefully it will come with 3.0 or older. Everything after 3.0 killed battery life.
With version 2.0, using edge + Wifi, I was able to get 2.5 to 3 days with light usage. When I upgraded to 3.0, I got the same 2.5 - 3 days with light usage. My phone definately lagged a lot more due to installing new apps. However, I found if I turned on either push notifications or location services, my battery would last at most 5 hours, even if i wasn't using my phone.
Just a month ago, we got 3G coverage in my town. I was hesitant to use it since battery life was already not stellar, but after testing it, I found I could use 3G and have push notifications on all the time and still get 2 - 3 days of battery. The only changes I made was I deleted about 1.5 gigabytes of old podcasts and I changed my mail settings from fetch manually to fetch off. I always noticed before my mail would try to fetch itself several times during the day even though it was set to fetch manual and it was wasting battery by doing this.
I should mention that 3.0 did not make my battery life worse than 2.0, but I've read 3.1 and newer really kill battery life. I still suggest 3.0 over 2.0 since you get push services. I also didn't have many dropped calles on 2.0 or 3.0. I do notice that voicemails are lagged on 3.0, sometimes by a few minutes, other times by a few hours
Hope this helps you.

How to do reconcilization of ODS data and CUBE data

Hi All,
How to do reconciliation of ODS data and CUBE data,I know how to do reconciliation of R/3 data and BW data.
Regards.

Hi,
create a multicube based on your ODS and cube, identify commen characteristics and perform the key figure selections; create then a query showing both information from the cube and ODS with perhaps some formula showing differences between key figures.
hope this helps...

There we have it, I think that that is all you need to know to perhaps give opinions and advice. Allow me to elaborate on why I am posting today after browsing this wonderful forum for the last two weeks. (...and by the way, my hat's off to some of you knowledgeable regulars for helping out a lot of newbies and folks in trouble!) Without further adieu:
Problem #1: POWER ISSUE
When, or if, I remove AC Power from my PC for whatever reason I run into a problem in which after reconnecting the AC Power and attempting to turn on the computer it goes into a 3-5 second startup loop in which the PC does not post, but rather cycles power to all of the components indefinitely. I notice the LEDs on my optical drives cycling repeatedly ad infinitum until I power off using the 4-second hold method, and then press the power button again. At this point the PC boots up fine, and boots up fine going forward from all restarts and shut downs. How strange? I've never, EVER, encountered something like this before.
Problem #2: PERFORMANCE ISSUE
This PC has a handful of serious performace issues.
3dMark03 scored horribly.
Prime95 runs ridiculously slow although there are no erros! It runs much more quickly on my work PC which is a PIII 866mhz with 384MB of PC133 RAM.
I receive, on no regular frequency, or while doing anything in particular, Explorer memory errors. Not BSOD's mind you, but "...blah blah blah referenced memory address xxxxx-xxxxx and could not be written". This causes Explorer to restart itself, blowing away the start menu, task bar, and any Explorer windows open. They reappear, of course, without incident.
The most off performance issue of all is that when opening an Explorer window for either of my IDE HDs, designated D and E drives, I find that when using the highlighting rectangle tool the Explorer window freezes or lags. I can double-click and open or move/copy files without incident, but if I attempt to highlight by this method this halt or lag occurs.
Also, since my update of the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.7, and then to 1.8 system startup times prior to Windows loading are HORRID. I have disabled just about everything, and yet the SATA BIOS loads for 5 seconds, and then I must wait 20 seconds for Windows itself to come to the login screen. No other BIOS related issues to report per se, but this is terrible for what should be a blazingly fast computer.
Now let's see.. what have I tried to do to repair the issues?
1) 2 BIOS flashes. First from 1.2->1.7, and then from 1.7->1.8. Ostensibly this was just "because". The power user need to have the latest! I noticed the incorrect CPU temperature being reported, however.. This led to me buying this massive ThermalTake HSF to replace my stocker. I also added more thermal goop than I ever have before, as well as a PCI slot fan before I became aware that it was a BIOS issue! GRRRR MSI.
2) I thought perhaps for the one issue that one of the hard drives was an issue, and even perhaps for power, but I replaced each with new drives and tested all 4 on another PC. NO problems. Also I should perhaps mention that my IDE drives are all hooked up using Antec Cobra cables. Expensive yes, but why the hell not, right? I've never seen a hang-off grounding wire for IDE before. Decided not to use them as I could think of a great place to screw them in, nor have other PC using them had trouble skipping the ground wire.
3) I unplugged every molex cable, the 4-pin CPU power, and the 20-pin ATX power and rerranged them all - as well as removed and then reinserted the RAM.
4) I tried changing my memory timings and power management settings, etc in BIOS. Nothing seem to impact the issue. I didn't fiddle with the voltages, but I should not need to running the RAM at SPD or lower settings and without overclocking the system at all!
5) Another issue that I had that seems to have vanished, come back, vanished, and then come back a "little bit" is my USB ports. When set to enable legacy devices in BIOS my USB items like my Logitech wireless keyboard would just cycle power and refuse to function. Also my UPS connected VIA USB seems to sometimes handshake with Windows and sometimes not. I've tried using all of the different ports, etc but the problem remains. I NEED 6 ports for my devices so it is all that I could do!
6) I have an Enermax 550w EG651P-VE(FMA) with 36 amps on each voltage rail on it's way, and it should arrive tomorrow. Despite all of the crap regarding power supplies that I see on this board I am not confident that it's the problem. That Antec PSU should be able to hold it's on with 20 amps on the +12v channel. C'mon now. I build a nearly identical system with the same power supply for a customer and he has no problems at all. He also has 3 HDs, same motherboard, etc.. the only difference is he has but one optical drive and a 2800+ rather than a 3200+. That power difference should be decimal nature in amps needed.
...oh and the sound card is in PCI slot 3, for those that remember the glory days of sound card IRQ issues that Creative was once notorious for... oh, and I disable the ethernet boot device, etc so my slow startups should not be related. My serial ATA drive is also on connection 1 of the VIA controller.. Promise can kiss my a**.
Soooo.. Show me what a n00b I am, oh great ones. I've built over 100 PCs since 1998 for myself, friends, families, and customers... and I've never seen an issue like this one! I'm no dummy, but please don't assume too much. Other pros on here know full well you can forget the most simple mundane detail in spite of experience! I want to solve this problem. I am on the verge of shelling out for a new motherboard and processor of the 939 pin variety.. and am now wary of MSI's long awaited socket 939 K8 Neo2 board despite it's awesome reviews. MSI has never really given me trouble before.. but I don't really want to spend money to the order of $200+ for that damned Gigabyte board. Gigabyte has always been good to me as well. Save my wallet! PLEASE!!!
Thanks so much everyone, I tried very hard not to leave out any details!

There we have it, I think that that is all you need to know to perhaps give opinions and advice. Allow me to elaborate on why I am posting today after browsing this wonderful forum for the last two weeks. (...and by the way, my hat's off to some of you knowledgeable regulars for helping out a lot of newbies and folks in trouble!) Without further adieu:
Problem #1: POWER ISSUE
When, or if, I remove AC Power from my PC for whatever reason I run into a problem in which after reconnecting the AC Power and attempting to turn on the computer it goes into a 3-5 second startup loop in which the PC does not post, but rather cycles power to all of the components indefinitely. I notice the LEDs on my optical drives cycling repeatedly ad infinitum until I power off using the 4-second hold method, and then press the power button again. At this point the PC boots up fine, and boots up fine going forward from all restarts and shut downs. How strange? I've never, EVER, encountered something like this before.
Problem #2: PERFORMANCE ISSUE
This PC has a handful of serious performace issues.
3dMark03 scored horribly.
Prime95 runs ridiculously slow although there are no erros! It runs much more quickly on my work PC which is a PIII 866mhz with 384MB of PC133 RAM.
I receive, on no regular frequency, or while doing anything in particular, Explorer memory errors. Not BSOD's mind you, but "...blah blah blah referenced memory address xxxxx-xxxxx and could not be written". This causes Explorer to restart itself, blowing away the start menu, task bar, and any Explorer windows open. They reappear, of course, without incident.
The most off performance issue of all is that when opening an Explorer window for either of my IDE HDs, designated D and E drives, I find that when using the highlighting rectangle tool the Explorer window freezes or lags. I can double-click and open or move/copy files without incident, but if I attempt to highlight by this method this halt or lag occurs.
Also, since my update of the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.7, and then to 1.8 system startup times prior to Windows loading are HORRID. I have disabled just about everything, and yet the SATA BIOS loads for 5 seconds, and then I must wait 20 seconds for Windows itself to come to the login screen. No other BIOS related issues to report per se, but this is terrible for what should be a blazingly fast computer.
Now let's see.. what have I tried to do to repair the issues?
1) 2 BIOS flashes. First from 1.2->1.7, and then from 1.7->1.8. Ostensibly this was just "because". The power user need to have the latest! I noticed the incorrect CPU temperature being reported, however.. This led to me buying this massive ThermalTake HSF to replace my stocker. I also added more thermal goop than I ever have before, as well as a PCI slot fan before I became aware that it was a BIOS issue! GRRRR MSI.
2) I thought perhaps for the one issue that one of the hard drives was an issue, and even perhaps for power, but I replaced each with new drives and tested all 4 on another PC. NO problems. Also I should perhaps mention that my IDE drives are all hooked up using Antec Cobra cables. Expensive yes, but why the hell not, right? I've never seen a hang-off grounding wire for IDE before. Decided not to use them as I could think of a great place to screw them in, nor have other PC using them had trouble skipping the ground wire.
3) I unplugged every molex cable, the 4-pin CPU power, and the 20-pin ATX power and rerranged them all - as well as removed and then reinserted the RAM.
4) I tried changing my memory timings and power management settings, etc in BIOS. Nothing seem to impact the issue. I didn't fiddle with the voltages, but I should not need to running the RAM at SPD or lower settings and without overclocking the system at all!

The startup problem might just be a screwy psu. Your antec *should* be able to power your stuff just fine, but maybe it is defective in some strange way.
What is your 3dmark03 score? If it is 3000-4000, (approx perf. level of ati 9600xt), then it is fine.
Check your memory using memtest86+, and try underclocking it to ddr333.
UNplug usb devices, and see if it speeds up boot. Also, I would not recommend bios 1.8 since people seem to have some troubles with it.
Also, try disabling agp fast writes, disabling spread spectrum, and maybe boosting ram voltage a tiny bit.
Try booting without your audigy plugged in, and try booting barebones (nothing but 1 hard drive with os) and see what happens.
I'm no expert, but you might get lucky trying these steps.

Business Intelligence and performance point problem

Hi Everyone,
Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and Performance Point content
list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
doesn't exist.
A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
clearest way to set this up.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

How can I parse GPO settings and get the GPOApplyOrder?

I have created a script that will search all GPO's in the domain and parse only those which have Drive Map settings and writes the information to a .csv file. I have tried to figure out a way to get the GPOApplyOrder to no avail. The closest
I have come to any sort of reasonable output is
"@{GPOSettingOrder=}", which is better than the nothing I had been getting. I think it would be really helpful if I could sort on the appy order so I could see the flow of the applied settings. Here is what I have.

Thanks to all in advance.

I am looking for the order in which the drive map settings are applied. Truly the GPOSettingOrder value. I guess was thinking that it was the order that the drives were mapped so that is what
I named the variable. In the middle of it all it made sense, now with your question, from the outside looking in, it doesn't. My apologies.
