Oracle MA is extremely slow!
I needed to create a connection to our HR Oracle database yesterday, so I installed the 11G client with Administrator profile on my 2008 R2 box. The database team gave me a tsnames.ora file to put in the Admin folder, so I did. I then gave the
Sync Service account full control over the Oracle root folder and rebooted the server. I then created a new Oracle MA at which time the machine just froze on me after I filled out the Connect to Database screen in the wizard and hit next. I ended
up leaving it running and returned this morning to find that it had successfully made a connection. I finished the wizard, created the run profiles and then ran the Stage Only run profile. It's been 2 hours now, and nothing is reporting back in
the console. No errors, no projects, and the MA has not errored out. I'm lost.
I have two environments, so just for kicks I went to the second ILM server, installed the Oracle client as before and now again I'm stuck on the Connect to Database screen in the create wizard. It's been 20 minutes and the MA still has not connected
to the database. I have successfully ran a SQL command from the dos prompt and made a connection to the database extremely fast.
Is there anything I'm overlooking in regards to setting up this MA? Any tips on making it run fast like it should?
My Oracle DBA was able to see the query coming from the MA once it started to hit the database. He said the query wasn't calling anything, so it just sat there for hours. Unfortunately the DBA was not around to look at the query once information
did start to populate, so hopefully he can today. Here is the query that he saw coming from the MA.

SetTableLocation EXTREMELY SLOW IN ORACLE
<p>
Hi I am using the code below to change my database provider at runtime. <br />
Unfortunately this line <code>ReportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation</code> is extremely slow trying to change table location in Oracle. It takes 2 or more seconds per table so it is unacceptable for us.
Please I need a solution as soon as possible.<br />
It is weird, becaus with SqlServer it works fine! so I don't understand what's the problem with CrystalReports and Oracle.<br />
Ther is anyone who have a solution?<br />
We are using: CrystalReports 12, Oracle 10, 11.<br />
Thank you very much.

</code>I have a very similar issue using Crystal XI, and now more recently XI R2 updated through SP6.
My database connections for the report utilize ODBC, which is how our application talks to the database, and provides a connection to crystal.
Oracle version is 10g R2, patched on client with 10.3.
I have a common databaes, in which I have views on many tables. The views depict a collection, and when the report is to run on a different collection I need to change the views on all of the tables (including those in subreports), as well as provide the credentials for connection.
I'm using VStudio2008 C++ with PutLocation( )
First using GetLocation() to find the initial location, then PutLocation to change it
using
IDatabaseTablePtr table;
try {
strcpy(tableLocation, table->GetLocation());
// make my changes to the table's location (the view)
table->PutLocation(tableLocation);
catch (_com_error& e) {
// if problems, handle and display errors.
HandleError(NULL, e);
I can have upwards of 20 tables/views in a report, and this can take 1/2 to a full minute to accomplish.
In addition, I optionally provide a user the ability to add criteria and sorting to the report; and perform a table/column collection to show them to the user for seleciton. This same process is used on all views (including those in subreports), so proper data lists can be provided from the correct views.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Oracle ODBC and DAO extremely slow
Hi
I'm using Microsoft DAO 3.6 with an Oracle ODBC connection (version 9.2) in an VB6 application.
Opening an updateable dynaset is extremely slow, I have measured the performance with Oracle ODBC, Microsoft Oracle ODBC and Microsoft SQL-Server ODBC as follows:
Oracle ODBC: 1952 ms
MS Oracle ODBC: 360 ms
MS SQL-Server ODBC: 40 ms (connection to a MS SQL-Server)
If I use the SQLpassthrough option the result is about 10 ms in all 3 cases, but the dynaset is readonly !
The testing program is as follows:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function timeGetTime Lib "winmm.dll" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim wsdata As DAO.Workspace
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim dbconn As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim start As Long
dbconn = "ODBC;DSN=AdhocitORA;UID=adhocit;PWD=adhocit;"
Set wsdata = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set db = wsdata.OpenDatabase("", False, False, dbconn)
start = timeGetTime
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from Afdeling", dbOpenDynaset)
rs.MoveLast
rs.MoveFirst
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
MsgBox "Time " & timeGetTime - start
End Sub
Is there any setting in the Oracle ODBC, that need to be adjusted ??
ErlingWhy are you doing a moveLast followed by a moveFirst? That's going to force Oracle to retrieve all the records in the recordset. If there are a lot of records, you'll probably see a benefit if you increase the prefetch in the Oracle ODBC DSN configuration.

I am new to the forum, I hope this is the good topic to post my problem.
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, and it is getting slower and slower. The performance was bad with Mavericks as well, but now, with Yosemite installed, it is much more worse. I have never reinstalled my system (only upgraded the osx), so it is an almost 3 years old setup. In that time I have installed a lot of applications, and also deleted a lot. About a year ago I upgraded the RAM, but didn't help too much. Now with Yosemite my startup time is more than 5 minutes, and sometimes the startup freezes (and I have to push the power button long to retry). Safari with 5-10 tabs is extreme slow, and lagging when I switch tabs or open new ones. To launch a new app, for example skype, i have to wait 1-2 minutes. Everything is slow. Sometimes my finder crashes, and works only if I restart the macbook. Another example: if I open the downloads folder in Finder, I have the spinning loading icon for about 20-30 seconds, and just after this time can I see the content of the folder.
My console is full of errors, I get new records in every single seconds. I repaired the disk permissions, deleted safari cache, history, etc. but nothing helped.
Many people here attached an "etrecheck" record for their threads, I downloaded the app, and made one scan, you can see my results here, I hope someone with more technical skills can help me!
Thank you in advance!

Dec 11, 2014, 12:04:08 PM Self test - passed1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Anyone can asset me please. My mini Mac is a 2.3 GHZ i5 Core. 8 GB Ram 13333 MHz with OS 10.7.5.
Pretty much since day one this computer is very..extremely slow to respond to any command. Opening documents or programs the system spin for ever.
Any idea what could be causing this??? I was told that to many pictures slow down the system, I have only 700 pic on file1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Macbook Pro 2011 extremely slow wondering if hard drive failure
Hello, I want to start off by saying I'm not a huge computer guru, so that is why I'm coming here first. My Macbook Pro worked very well for a year, and then it has slowed down drastically. I've always been a windows user so mac is kind of foreign to me, but I'm trying to learn.
Some problems I've encountered are 1. Extremely slow running whether internet related, or just an application. I have checked the activity monitor and nothing is hogging up my memory. 2. Spinning wait cursor (rainbow circle) when I try to do ANYTHING. It takes minutes to start computer once it makes it to home screen. The circle just spins for a few minutes. Even just web surfing it's there. 3. Battery drains from 100% to less than 20% in 30 minutes, which again is annoying. 4. When battery drains the fan turns on and seems to drain battery even faster. 5. I get a lot of random errors forcing shut down of programs. I have ignored this problem for two years by not using my laptop or using it very minimally, but I am going to be needing a laptop again for school and not just my iPad and phone so I was planning on taking my macbook to genius bar, but wanted to check here first since Apple is an hour away. Plus I want to be able to use the piece of equipment that I spent a decent chunk of change on. I used time machine to back up everything today. I know its not a space issue as I have 300+ free GB on hard drive. I have tried to read through similar posts, but its overwhelming so I came here to post my own question.
I ran disc utility and there were some errors, which were able to be corrected after a couple tries. Computer still slow though when trying to do anything and running rainbow circle.
In recovery mode I reinstalled OSX
I was finally able to install updates after completing the above that were not able to be installed before.
I ran etre check, this is the report that came up:

Basically I'm wondering if anything sticks out in this report. I was thinking it could be a possible hard drive failure. I know my computer has been dropped on the floor at least a few times. Thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your patience.Eab, I feel your pain! I am replying simply to share my similar ongoing experience with my early 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro, running Mavericks with seeming ample hard drive space, [applications requiring less than 100GB, about 200GB data (total drive space of 500GB)] & 4GB RAM. (Disclaimer: I am not a wise or computer-savvy mac guru - simply a fellow traveler who has had a very similar set of problems - apps taking forever to load, rapid battery depletion & super overheated MacBook. While I am a Genius Bar groupie, getting to the Apple store is, for me, akin to an antarctic polar expedition (i.e. problematic). Having spent endless hours struggling with a similar issue, I offer you a synopsis of my struggle/experience.
STEPS TO DATE:
1.Installed several memory utility programs (Daisy Disk & MacCleanse) system
maintenance program to regularly and thoroughly empty application caches (Adobe apps & internet browsers being tremendous hogs), identify and remove language elements and other redundant space hogs, etc. Result: Small, but real improvement when I forced myself to perform a "scan and delete" session every second major computer run (typically about 6-8 hours in length). However, this did nothing to help the problems regularly detected when I run the Disk Utility which almost invariably demonstrates disk permissions that need to be repaired and, with increasing frequency, has demonstrated actual disk errors that require restarting and walking through a disk repair protocol. I did bring it to the Genius Bar where they kindly reinstalled Mavericks which they could do in about an hour versus the several hours that doing this at home requires. This did identify that my RAM was, on fact, a limitation on the speed at which I could run certain apps.
2. My next move was to install an additional 4GB of RAM. I bought the new RAM on eBay for about $90 because, with 3 kids equipped with MacBooks & iPhones, I simply couldn't afford the official Apple RAM. I even installed it myself, with the help of a YouTube video. Result: Giant improvement in speed (starting up or switching apps. If I had realized how simple it turned out to be, I would have done it well over a year ago. Some minor improvement in the overheating problem, but persistent problems with disk permissions continually requiring repair and periodic disk repairs (using Disk Utility) required.
PLANNED FINAL INTERVENTION:
3. I am purchasing and installing a solid state drive (ssd) and simply chucking the original hard drive, after considerable discussion with my savvier mac friends. It has become clear to me that, sadly, every hard drive has a finite life affected by a variety of factors. I am, in fact, hard on my equipment - running multiple graphic apps simultaneously, transferring massive GBs of data between my laptop, time capsule and an array of hard drives. I will let you know how it goes, but can share that the decision to get a solid state drive followed many conversations with multiple Mac guru-types (in the hope of saving you similar painful tribulations). The cost varies according to the size of the drive, but $400-$500 would buy a reasonable starting size. I am waiting for Black Friday sales, myself. Amazon (where I will likely purchase the ssd) is already offering a number of pre-Black Friday deals. While I don't really feel like putting out that amount of cash, I reassure myself that a new drive will almost certainly solve the disk errors (with a solid state one offering more durability) & will help me prolong the life of my MacBook Pro by a couple of years hopefully. It beats buying a new Apple MacBook only three and a half years after investing close to $3k for this one!
I am certain that more experienced forum users could point you to software that could help defragment your drive or may be able to offer other solutions. I've simply had enough of struggling with burning thighs and head-banging behavior triggered by slow performance. I hope this is helpful to you in some small way. The war is not yet over, but I'm feeling good about the battle plan! -
Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists
My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet. Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
Any advice is appreciated!
My Specs:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
Memory: 4 GBMelophage,
I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

Why is my MacBook Pro extremely slow
Hi.
My MacBook Pro has recently began to run extremely slow. I have tried several clean up guides from you tube, but so far nothing has helped.
My battery is completely dead, so I only run with the charger connected.
I have done the etreecheck and here are the results:

Hope someone will be able to help and guide me through a clean up.nothing seems out of order, apart from the useless Norton Internet Security.
though, since you don't have lots of RAM, consider rebooting the Mac everyso often ( "Time since boot: 7 days 3:2:21").
" Battery Health: Replace Now": indeed, the battery is dead
Did it start getting slow since Yosemite upgrade? (the new OS does tend to slow things down) -

If you have never done a clean install consider doing one. Backup, clone, setup a USB installer and wipe the system. Or wait for the new internal 500GB drive (so you are back to using about 50%) to do a clean install and run Setup Assistant. You would be surprised how even just that can feel and run.
RAM is pretty much a given so when you do, look at putting a 500GB SSD in there as well. -
Changing database location per Table at runtime is extremely slow in viewer
We are using the Crystal Reports 2008sp2 Viewer in windows forms .NET
application to display various reports based on a Pervasive database. The
C# code dynamically changes the database table locations at run time. The
location needs to be set for each table since the location may be different
for each table in the report.
We have tried to methods to change the location.
1) Set the Table.Location property in the ReportDocument.Database.Tables
collection.
foreach (Table table in rd.Database.Tables)
Table.Location = "New Path";
2) Set the TableLogOnInfo properties.
TableLogOnInfo logonInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = dataPath;
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.LogonProperties[0] = new NameValuePair2("Data
File", dataPath);
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.LogonProperties[0] = new NameValuePair2("Data
File Search Path", path);
table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo);
Both of these methods work, but have extremely slow performance. Both
methods take between 2 and 3 seconds to execute per table. Since many of
our reports have 20 - 30 table references ( sometimes more ), this can add
an additional 1-2 minutes to the display of a report.
It seems that the Crystal viewer object is doing some sort of verification
every time the database location is changed. We have noted that as the
location is changed, the database is being accessed by the viewer. Please
advise as to how to stop this behavior. Is there a way to set the location
without the viewer verifying the change?
This problem is turning reports that run in the 2008 Report Designer in 3 seconds into reports that take
many minutes to run. We will hear nothing but screaming from our 300 customers.
Thanks for any help.
Bill SmithHello,
I have a very similar issue but with Crystal XI and XI R2.
I'm using Oracle 10g, and changing a couple of properties using the following sequence for each table to change the login information and the table's current view (each view is a portion of the overall table):
IDatabaseTablePtr table = tables->GetItem(tableN);
table->SetLogOnInfo(TheApp.GetDataSource(), TheApp.GetDatabase(), userID, pwd);
char tableLocation[201];
char tempTable[201], newTable[201];
strcpy(tableLocation, table->GetLocation());
// make new table name, put into newTable
table->PutLocation(newTable);
if (!table->TestConnectivity())
ShowCrystalRE_Error(job);
Stepping through in my debugger, the SetLogOnInfo seems very quick, it's the PutLocation( ) that seems to be taking alot of time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is extremely fast on SQL Server, only noticeably slow on Oracle. -

zooming effect is extremely slow in IE7 and IE8 (FF, Safari, Chrome do it fast!)
thanks,
BranislavI believe you can blame IE's incredibly slow JavaScript engine for this. That's my experience. There's not much the Mapviewer developers can do about that really.
I had hoped, that IE8 had improved on that, but there hasn't really been any visible differences.

Oracle Database suddenly very slow!
Hello,
After running our Oracle 10g instance on Red Hat Enterprise for more than two years without an itch it suddenly became extremely slow. A simple query that would take a few seconds now takes an hour to complete! It is not the network since the same happens from a local console.
I checked the log files on bdump and cdump but couldn't see anything wrong.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance.hi,
do you perform the following
execute dbms_stats.gather_system_stats ('Start');
let the system do some typical work
execute dbms_stats.gather_system_stats ('Stop');
try running this and see what happens.
could you also post back some
vmstat 10 13
under typical work load and also some
sar figures

Webfolder access to XML stored in database is extremly slow (XP)
Hello,
I made a webfolder to access my XML-documents stored in the database over explorer. My OS is XP. But the access is extremly slow. When I access the documents from a Windows2000 computer the access is fast. Has anybody an idea what could be the reason for this??
Any help appreciated.
AnnaNone of them go throug the proxy server. Oracle suggests to install some XP-Patches what I have done. Now the webfolder access is normal. It is an XP ServicePack1 - problem.
Thanks.

General feedback about Nokia's philosophy
I haven't found any e-mailadress for feedback from normal costumers. However, I guess it's always interesting to know the reason when a costumer decides not to buy new Nokia devices any more. I also like to publish my feedback in public so others can
