Page file issue

hello team,
We have a weird issue running on one of the servers(w2k8 R2 ENt) where the page file is not getting saved on the reboot..i.e we set a value for page file 0f 200GB via GUI and the registry key also shows to be same..but on reboot of the server the value gets
chnaged to random numbers i.e sometime 25Gb or 45Gb and registry keys shows the same vaule as 200GB..
Anyone who faced such issue and any fix available for it.
Tried number of things:
Cleaned page file with option set to none..system rebooted..page file set to 200GB..on next reboot the value changes
Set it to automatic and then set the values back but on reboot the value chnages
Clean page file at shutdown
Sfc scan
tried setting page file via command line but to no go
saving the page file by another name pagefile1.sys/pagefile2.sys..
No options seem to be working...

Hi ManeeshB,
Could you refer the following KB to use PowerShell cmdlet to set the pagefile then monitor this issue again.

Please refer the following KB to confirm you have not use the “Clear virtual memory pagefile when system shuts down” Group Policy:

More information quote from Windows Internals.
What triggers the file to grow?
Page file grows as the system needs additional memory to satisfy the memory pressure load being placed on it by the software running on the system.
What triggers the file to shrink?
If the Paging file(s) have increased from the minimum as a result of memory load the system will shrink the paging file provided there is space for a sufficient number of free
pages still left after the shrinking for a sudden need of page file space.
The check to determine if the paging file can be reduced is performed when a process exits.
I’m glad to be of help to you!

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Index file increase with no corresponding increase in block numbers or Pag file size

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and/or can help explain why it is happening....
I have a BSO cube fronted by a Hyperion Planning app, in version 11.1.2.1.000
The cube is in it's infancy, but already contains 24M blocks, with a PAG file size of 12GB. We expect this to grow fairly rapidly over the next 12 months or so.
After performing a simple Agg of aggregating sparse dimensions, the Index file sits at 1.6GB.
When I then perform a dense restructure, the index file reduces to 0.6GB. The PAG file remains around 12GB (a minor reduction of 0.4GB occurs). The number of blocks remains exactly the same.
If I then run the Agg script again, the number of blocks again remains exactly the same, the PAG file increases by about 0.4GB, but the index file size leaps back to 1.6GB.
If I then immediately re-run the Agg script, the # blocks still remains the same, the PAG file increases marginally (less than 0.1GB) and the Index remains exactly the same at 1.6GB.
Subsequent passes of the Agg script have the same effect - a slight increase in the PAG file only.
Performing another dense restructure reverts the Index file to 0.6GB (exactly the same number of bytes as before).
I have tried running the Aggs using parallel calcs, and also as in series (ie single thread) and get exactly the same results.
I figured there must be some kind of fragmentation happening on the Index, but can't think of a way to prove it. At all stages of the above test, the Average Clustering Ratio remains at 1.00, but I believe this just relates to the data, rather than the Index.
After a bit of research, it seems older versions of Essbase used to suffer from this Index 'leakage', but that it was fixed way before 11.1.2.1.
I also found the following thread which indicates that the Index tags may be duplicated during a calc to allow a read of the data during the calc;
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1038502076/1038565646/index+file+size+grows+with+same+data+-
However, even if all the Index tags are duplicated, I would expect the maximum growth of the Index file to be 100%, right? But I am getting more than 160% growth (1.6GB / 0.6GB).
And what I haven't mentioned is that I am only aggregating a subset of the database, as my Agg script fixes on only certain members of my non-aggregating sparse dimensions (ie only 1 Scenario & Version)
The Index file growth in itself is not a problem. But the knock-on effect is that calc times increase - if I run back-to-back Aggs as above, the 2nd Agg calc takes 20% longer than the 1st. And with the expected growth of the model, this will likely get much worse.
Anyone have any explanation as to what is occurring, and how to prevent it...?
Happy to add any other details that might help with troubleshooting, but thought I'd see if I get any bites first.
The only other thing I think worth pointing out at this stage is that we have made the cube Direct I/O for performance reasons. I don't have much prior exposure to Direct I/O so don't know whether this could be contributing to the problem.
Thanks for reading.

I haven't tried Direct I/O for quite a while, but I never got it to work properly. Not exactly the same issue that you have, but it would spawn tons of .pag files in the past. You might try duplicating your cube, changing it to buffered I/O, and run the same processes and see if it does the same thing.

Mavericks won't accept 'change all' command to open ALL pages files with v 4.3 app

Hello again,
I upgraded my MacBook Air mid June 2013 build to Mavericks at my Apple store. The download was fast, under 30 min., and the installation went well, also fast at about 40 minutes. All apps are working fine. I spent much time before taking the plunge to learn the pros and cons of this upgrade, and the biggest issue for me was the ability to keep using the older versions of Pages and Numbers. The new, watered down versions cannot do what I need. I followed the instructions to select a Pages file in Finder, open the Info pane, and under 'Open with' selected the old version. Then, to apply this to ALL the files, I selected 'Change all...' and 'Continue'. But, it still lists the new version as default. So far, the only fix is to go through ALL my files and manually choose the old version for each. Very laborious. Am I missing something? It seems Mavericks will not accept to change them all for some reason.
Thank you, Cinilla

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"
- Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013
Icloud.com tested with Chrome, Opera, Safari, Iexplorer .. same problem
Try to reset "Documents and data" from Settings >>> "Could not reset Documents and Data ; there was a problem.."

Upgrading to the Lion & reinstall again from iWork, the Pages 4.1 worked, however, now every time I open a Page file it keeps opening all the page files

After upgrading to Lion the Pages didn't respond to it. So, I reinstalled the Pages 4.1 from iWork. It worked. However, eversince every time I try open a new or exsisting page file it opens all the pages files that I worked on it last several days or a week. Suddenly many page files on the desktop! Kind of confusing... Can someone help with this issue... Thanks

RoboHELP to PDF Page numbering issue

HI,
I am experiencing a problem related to page numbers in the pdf generated through the RoboHELP source files. Hereby I am giving some images of the initial pages of the PDF, in which I have clearly explained the issue. I have removed the content and images related to our project. Please let me know, how I can overcome this issue.
NOTE: The page numbering issue was not there earlier. I have imported two frame maker files. Then I was not able to generate a PDF. That particular FM file had a table. Read in the Adobe forum that some type of tables may affect the generation of PDF. Hence, I have deleted the FM files. Since then I am facing the page numbering issue.
Here are the images with my explanation of the issue:
The following is an image of the pdf. This is actually the fourth page of the pdf, but it is numbered as xiv.
The next pae is numbered as xv. Again the numbering reverted back to xiv as shown in the following iamge.
Immeditely after the TOC, the 1st page is numbered as 115.
Again every 1st page of a chapter is starting as page number 115
The 2nd page of every chapter is numbered as 126.
The 3rd page of every chapter is numbered as 125.
The fourth page again numbered as 126 followed by 125, which is continuing till end of the chapter.
Please let me know how this issue can be solved.

I am not sure what is causing this but can suggest a workaround. Instead of publishing direct to PDF, create a Word document only. That may have page numbering issues but there you should be able to correct them. Then publish your PDF from Word.

Can't open Pages files when a particular user has saved them

Can anyone help with this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2288596
We have one user whose Pages files nobody else can open, edit or copy when he saves them to our server. Somehow the files are not inheriting the correct permissions.

I got the same issue but with some new insight.
I got a MacPro with 10.5.8 server on it to serve 8 users on 10.5 and 10.6. The root sharepoint is nest within a folder on a separated volume from the OS. I made a pretty simple permissions structure at first, all users is member of a group, and I giving full access to that group thru ACL and set the heritance to everything.
When I copie a new file on the server from the finder, everything is OK. But when I created a new documents on the server by saving it from a another software (Like pages or Textedit). The new file doesnt inherite the ACL and everybody else beside the users who created that new files is read only.
According to my tests, the ACL appear to be propagate on new file only from finder manipulation.

Consumption of a lot of page file space with Solution Manager over windows

HI guys,
I have installed Solution Manager 4.0 SP10 over Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition. The server has 4 Gb of RAM and 10Gb of page file.
Before to start Solution Manager the memory used is 500Mb and the used page file is 1Gbytes, but when I start Solman, the memory used grow up to 3.8 Gbytes and the pagefile to 7Gbytes.
Is this behaviour normal?, should I need near to 8Gb to run SolMan in memory?
does someone experience or tips regarding this is issue?
Thanks in advance for your comments guys!!!!
Regards Carlos Pozo.

Hi Ragu,
All SAP guides talk about aprox. 10Gb in Win and aprox. 20Gb (max.) in Unix.
You are right (also....;-) ), but my question is regarding the consumption of this page file, for example, we have XI 3.0 installed in AIX (ABAP+JAVA like Solman), and we have 8 Gbytes of RAM installed, in scenario we have in average 1.5Gbytes of free memory and not swap space used, that means in average XI use 6,5 Gbytes of memory (including DB instance, oracle 9.2), with at least 15 users connected, in contrast Solman has only one user connected and only 6 dialog wp and use almost 10Gbytes (adding RAM and SWAP space).
Is normal that Solman 4.0 need so much memory to run?
Do you know some way to decrease the swap consumption?.....
I know, I know.......I'm asking almost for magic solutions......

Citrix Netscaler AppXpert with Sharepoint 2010 Page Edit Issue

Posting this as a questions and discussion point.
The issue is in using Citrix Netscaler with AppXpert with SharePoint 2010. I've seen this issue for two customers.
Configurations:
- Citrix Netscaler as the load Balancer
- Netscaler AppXpert for SharePoint deployed on Netscaler (using either AppXpert version 1.1 or 2.0)
- SharePoint 2010 Standard or Enterprise editions
Issue:
A SharePoint user with appropriate rights go to a SharePoint page. They choose Edit page, make changes and want to save changes. At this point all SharePoint ribbon options on the top are greyed out. End result, users are not able to make changes to their
site pages. Issue happens for everyone including Farm Admins.
Cases:
a. The users are able to edit and save SharePoint wiki pages if I point user's PC to the SharePoint web server WFE by changing their local host file.
b. On Citrix Netscaler, if I use the traditional load balancing i.e. without Citrix AppXpert, then the users are able to edit and save the pages. That is an option if the customer is using SharePoint 2010 Standard. That is not an option if a customer is
using InfoPath forms. InfoPath is a feature of SharePoint 2010 Enterprise edition. Citrix AppXpert for SharePoint is needed to make the InfoPath work. Else the users get session errors when they use InfoPath Web forms.
c. The issue happens on almost all combination of OS and browser. XP, vista, Win 7, Win8, Win8.1, IE8, 9, 10, 11 and other browsers like chrome etc as well.
Please share your ideas and suggestions.

Hi Faisal,
As I understand, the issue will be solved when end users directly connect to SharePoint WFE servers. Since the issue is related to third party products, I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for sufficient resource and assistance. For your convenience:

Should you need more assistance, let me know. Thanks for the understanding.

Pages files as pdf file is 3x times larger????

I have a pages file I created 333k when I print then select save pdf the file jumps to 1.2mb
why?
I have tried save as and still same result
I have recreated document new same result original is 333k pdf becomes 1.2mb

Robert,
I'm guessing it's a content or font issue. Here, with just text in a standard font, PDFs are always smaller, even at the Best setting.

Single page PDF issues! Please fix!!!

When sending or receiving a PDF single page file, my iPad changes the format to something other than a PDF. This make it very difficult to do business with non Mac/iOS users. I know that this is not a hardware issue, it is an operating system issue. I need this fixed in order to have a successful experience.

For all intents and purposes you are trying to do more with Acrobat than designed. Pitstop might do the trick as well as other plug-ins. But the obvious method is to import the scans into ID and do your page numbering there. If you want increased capability try the Adobe request/wish form:

What's the best practice to manage the page file?

We have one Hyper-v Server running windows 2012 R2 with 128 GB RAM and 2 drives (C and D). It setup Automatically manage page file size for all drives. What's the best practice to manage the page file?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

For Hyper-V systems, my general recommendation is to set the page file to 1-4 GB. This allows for a mini-dump should something happen. 99.99% of the time, Microsoft will be able to figure out the cause of the problem from the mini-dump. It does not make
sense on a Hyper-V system to set aside enough space to capture all the memory on the system because only a very small portion of that memory is used by the parent partition. Most of the memory is under control of the individual VMs.
Yes, I had one of the Hyper-V product group tell me that I should let Windows manage it. A couple of times I saw space on my system disk disappear because the algorithm decided it wanted all the space for the page file. Made it so I couldn't
patch my systems. Went back in and set the page file to 1-4 GB and have not had any issues since.
