P6 Professional R8.3 - (Overlapping/chaotic update progress bar)

Hey folks,
I've encountered another annoying thing/changes when updating progress, the progress bars that have been generated aren't consistent (presentation-wise) with the way it overlaps, as you can see from the the attached screenshots. http://s13.postimg.org/645vrepif/2_error.jpg  http://s22.postimg.org/7ywtt2241/3_error.jpg  http://s18.postimg.org/jx8ozaaa1/4_error.jpg
If anyone knows the cause / solution to this problem, please advise. Many thanks in advance.

What you are seeing is called “Retained logic”. It means that started activities are maintaining their relationship logic with their predecessors. In your schedule below you can see that the gap in your second structures activity is the same as the remaining work in the first activity, I assume the first is a predecessor of the second.
The second activty is still behaving as a FS relationship, it cant start until the first activity is completely done (not just started). Thus it gets pushed out.
You can fix this in a couple ways.
Change the link between the two activities from FS to SS and reschedule
Break the link between the two activites and reschedule
Change you scheduling “Mode” by hitting F9, Options, “When scheduling progressed activities use”, Progress Override.
I recommend the first option.

  • Firmware update progress bar appears and computer won't start up

    Hi,
    I am on OS X 10.6 (the latest developer build, whose build number I can't remember and can't look up because my computer won't start up) and this morning when I tried to start up my computer, it chimed, the apple appeared but then a grey progress bar (like the one that appears during a firmware update) appeared at the bottom of the screen along with the customary spinner. This progress bar didn't update and after 10-ish seconds, it disappeared and left just the spinner. I left the computer in this state for 4 hours and nothing happened. It still starts up in single user mode (but I can't seem to get Open Firmware mode to load) and it starts Windows XP on another partition of my main HD.
    When I start it in verbose mode, it says that my catalog B-tree has keys out of order and it is unable to repair them. Also, I get an error message from launchctl: "Bug: launchctl.c:2033 (23930):17: auditquickstart() == 0". Then later on it tells me to convert a few system plist files to launchd (all in the /etc/mach_init.d/ folder). The very last line says "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected".
    I would rather not re-install the system, but if I have to, I guess I will. I appreciate any light that anyone can shed on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Yes, they (the third-party utilities) both come on bootable DVD's. As I mentioned, since Snow Leopard was just released in its final version, the developers may be in the process of releasing updates.
    Your situation is likely to be a case where the data corruption issue already existed before installing Snow Leopard, and the installation process made the problem more apparent (because something critical was installed where it was affected by the data issue).
    It is a good idea to run +Repair Disk+ in Disk Utility on the startup volume before installing a major system update. Actually, I do it before any system-level update.
    You should also have a backup (at least of your personal data if not the entire volume), in case something bad happens during a major system upgrade. If you were using Time Machine, the easiest recovery would be to reformat the internal drive and use the Time Machine complete volume restore utility to restore the volume back to the date/time state just before you installed Snow Leopard. Then, after restarting from that restored volume to make sure everything is working, start up from the Snow Leopard installation disc, run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk+ (just to be sure), and run the upgrade to Snow Leopard again.
    If you have a backup of at least your personal data, you may want to reformat the internal drive, install Snow Leopard and bundled apps, install your third-party apps from their original sources, update everything that needs updating, and restore your personal data.
    If you don't have a backup, the best bet is to try either DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. DiskWarrior is very specialized into repairing this type of data problem. TechTool Pro has similar capability, but it is a more general tool with other features.

  • 10.6.8 update - progress bar not smooth anymore :s

    Basically, after updating to 10.6.8 on my Macbook Air when I move a file over my Local Network over Wifi the progress bar jerks in increments now and doesnt smoothly increase.  I hopw Im explaining it well but it moves then stops for a few seconds, moves then stops for a few seconds.  Its not consistently moving.  It is also say 20 secs slower over a 2.5gb file than my Mini is using the 10.6.7 OS. 
    Any ideas anyone?

    Looking into this a little more, it seems that this is not wifi related as it does the same thing moving files to and from my external drive via usb.
    Could this be due to the new TRIM system with SSD's on 10.6.8 and the way it accessing the drive when moving/copying?
    Noone else get this on the Macbook Air 13inch 2010 128GB SSD drive?
    Thanks

  • 10.7.5 update progress bar "upgrading iCal calendars"

    I completed the 10.7.5 update on my MacBook Pro (2011) about ten minutes ago. Since then, after opening iCal, the progress bar "upgrading iCal calendars" has been sitting here. I do have a lot of historical calendar data, going back to 2003. Has anyone else had this problem? Will it finish if I let it go, or are my calendars already corrupt?
    I'm worried because I've had bluetooth/external speaker audio issues, followed some directions, tried to boot into safe mode, and wasn't able to (left the machine for 3 hours, progress bar stuck at about 25%).
    thanks,
    Kim

    After an hour, I tried to quit iCalendar. It was "application not responding," so I force quit, and got back in. In the title bar, it said it was updating, for maybe 45 seconds. Now it's fine and my historical data (stored locally) is there.
    I upgraded another machine, and the Updating progress dialog box appeared for less than a minute and then was fine.
    There's probably something underlying that's wrong with my main machine. Guess I'd better get on with cleaning up.

  • Supress (Saves As) update progress bar

    I am using the SDK to perform a batch conversion of files from PDF to TIFF format -
    Everything is working great but......
    There is a progress bar that displays for each file as it is processed.
    Is there any way to turn off the display of the update bar ?
    Thanks.

    Okay , I have taken a look at the documentation on the Core API AVConversion et al and I have the following observations:
    1.       I now remember why I did not use AVConversion in the first place.
    2        The documentation is not altogether clear about how this particular feature works .
    3.       There are almost no examples of how to use this feature and how to get / set the various paramters and values associatexd with the Save As options.
    3.       Addtional help would be appreciated -
    4.       Is there any hope of asking for a tutorial  or a "how to" session on using the AVConversion method ?
    Thank You very much

  • Updating progress bar sent from sub vi

    Hi,
    I have been trying to update a progress bar, but have had no luck.  The progress bar is active when a sub vi is called.  It works fine in the sub vi, but I can't seem to create any kind of reference, output, or anything to get it to update in real time on the main vi.  Here is how the program is structured.  The main program calls a sub vi which reads user inputs.  These user inputs are them sent to an system exec.vi call.  While the system exec is runing, a while loop is executing, which is checking the size of the file that is being created.  The progress bar works fine in the sub vi, but when I wire it up to the main vi, it only shows the final completed status.  I tried creating a global variable, which updates in real time, but it still would not update on the main vi.  I am going crazy trying to figure this out, having spent 8 hours so far on it.  Please help.

    Yes, I appreciate that but I was hoping for something more elegant than the attached.
    Cheers

  • When I was updating my phone to iOS 5.1.1, the update progress bar just froze right at the beginning and I decided to switch off itunes after almost 2 hours of waiting and no movement. Now my phone's been wiped...

    and I've been forced to restore it back to factory settings cuz itunes did not show me a "restore from backup" option, progress bar still not moving.... it's been another hour....

    Well since nobody could really help with my situation, figured I'll write down what happened so it may help a few people in need. My restore freeze problem was solved by removing then reinstalling itunes again since I had an older version of itunes and was unable to update without doing so. The "restore from backup" option came back after the factory setting restore and for some reason the whole process only went smoothly when I tried doing it on another computer. Anyhow everything is back to normal now.

  • Update progress bar from repeater events

    I have a component that uses a repeater to download and set information on a collection of items from the internet.  This can take a while, so I tried to set up a panel with a progress bar to provide some feedback.
    Problem is, when the repeater is executing, it apparently doesn't yield time so the progress bar can update. (?!)
    The end result is that the progressbar doesn't show anything until the repeater is done, at which point it shows the last value the repeater loaded.
    So, is there a way to get around this?  Can the repeater be triggered with timer ticks, instead of blindly looping?
    Scouring the docs, but nothing is showing, yet.  At worst case, I guess I can bag the repeater and just fetch the items in a timer driven loop, rather than use the repeater mechanism.  Would be a drag, but I need the progress bar to update.
    Any thoughts appreciated.

    Changing to window made no difference.
    One solution is to show the document being built, now its hidden. Another would be to show the progress in a palette.
    I have never built a palette, is it possible to have a swf-file that triggers javascript?
    Is it possible to add buttons to the palette menu on the top right?
    But solving this would be the easiest...

  • Updating Progress Bar

    During the response to a mouse click I want to update a progress bar. I can not get the progress bar to update. If I attempt to update both a progress bar and a slider the slider updates but the progress bar does not.
    code fragment
         class SymMouse extends java.awt.event.MouseAdapter
              public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
                   Object object = event.getSource();
                   if (object == startButton)
                        startButton_mouseClicked(event);
         void startButton_mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
              // to do: code goes here.
              // Increment the current values
                   doCalculations(progressSlider);
         public void doCalculations(HorizontalSlider hs){
                   try {
                        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
                             Thread.sleep(1000);
                             hs.setValue(hs.getValue()+2);
                             progressBar1.updateProgress(progressBar1.getValue()+2);
                   catch(Exception e) { }

    In this code it is a custom class from Symantec (symantec.itools.awt.util.ProgressPar) but I get the exact same behavior using JProgressBar.

  • Progress bar do not show progress

    Hi there,
    I have created one dialog with button and progress bar. When I click on button, I have functionality which is getting called through which I make some changes in  currently open Indesign document like drawing some graphic frames, placing images on them. I want to update progress bar present on dialog when frames are getting drawn. But the dialog box freezes when the document changes taking place. How to update progress bar?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello vDeepak,
    it is not possible to have a progress bar working with dialogs. You can use palettes and windows but not dialogs. If you like to better understand how progress bars work, this is a very good resource:

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.
