Performance issue using Universe with SNC connection

I had a dynamic dashboard using Live office > Webi report > Universe > Bex query which was working fine but we recently implemented SNC between Business Objects and SAP BW due to which the universe connection has been changed to use sign on connection. After changing the connection in the universe I am see a performance degradation refreshing the connections in xelsius dashboard. Earlier the connection refresh time was 6 sec now the refresh time is around 30 secs, Intersting thing is I have tryed refreshing the webi report the refresh time of the webi report did not change which is still less than 6 secs and I have also tryed refeshing the Live Office component directly in the design/spreedsheet mode of the xcelsius even here the refresh time remain same less than 6 secs.
The connection refresh time is bad only when I am in preview mode or if I deploy the swf to the business object server.
Xcelsius Version: 2008 (5.3)
BO Version: 3.1 sp2 fixpack 2.8
Thanks

Help with Video Performance Issues using Flash

Asking on behalf of a customer who has been unable to get any answers so far - are you able to help?
Background:
We have a port of our Game Development Kit which allows us to recompile all our games using Crossbridge (http://adobe-flash.github.io/crossbridge/) into SWF without any code modifications.
Overview:
Our framework is using OpenGL for rendering and we have successfully ported it along with the audio and video to run in Flash.
We are experiencing performance issues using Video. We cannot use image sequence as some of the video animations are too long and would increase the download to an unacceptable size. Assets vary between 256x256 - 1024x1024 videos.

Here's the rest of the story. Let me know if you can see any resolution, and I will connect him to the forums. Thank you.
Current Video Solution:
We create an instance of NetConnection, NetStream, and Video according to most samples out there, and invoke draw to rasterize the Video DisplayObject into a BitmapData instance.
The BitmapData instance has a fixed color component layout which is not compatible with Stage3D texture and is therefore has to be reformatted before uploaded to Stage3D Texture (See Code Listing below).
Our Problems:
Performance issues with RGBA conversion (either using copyChannel or manually reformatting is not fast enough) natively in as3; this required for stage3d texture.Copying each channel individual using bitmapdata.Copychannel seems faster, but not significantly faster.
Cannot detect when video frame has been updated, therefore we may copy pixels that are not needed in enterframe (processpixel).
Looping video, our current solution uses the NET_STATUS event Buffer empty; Is there a better way to loop videos than checking buffer and seeking to 0.
Stepping video, loading FLV or MP4 side by side assets from HTTP or embedded does not support stepping? Is there another way?
ActionScript Code Listing:
video_nc = new NetConnection();
video_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , onConnect);
video_nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR , trace);
video_nc.connect(null);
// OnConnect Event:
this.ns = new NetStream(e.target as NetConnection);
eventclient = new Object();
eventclient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
this.ns.client = eventclient;
ns.play(flvfile);
ns.pause();
//onMetaData event:
this.width = infoObject.width;
this.height = infoObject.height;
this.textureWidth = NextPowerOfTwo(this.width);
this.textureHeight = NextPowerOfTwo(this.height);
cliprect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width ,this.height);
cliprect.x = 0;
cliprect.y = 0;
cliprect.width = this.textureWidth;
cliprect.height = this.textureHeight;
totalFrames = infoObject.duration * infoObject.fps;
this.hasAlpha = true;
if(infoObject.videocodecid == 5)
this.hasAlpha = true;
this.bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, hasAlpha, 0xff000000);
this.video = new Video(this.width, this.height);
this.video.attachNetStream(ns);
this.video.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processPixels);
// processPixel method:
BitmapData.draw(video);
GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
var fmt:uint = GLAPI.GL_ARGB;
// converting pixels using copychannel or loop through pixels
GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
GLAPI.instance.glTexImage2D(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, fmt, this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, 0,fmt, GLAPI.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, convBitmapData.getPixels(cliprect));

Performance issue in correlation with hidden objects in reports

Hello,
is there a known performance issue in correlation with hidden objects in reports using conditional suppressions? (HFM version 11.1.2.1)
Using comprehensive reports, we have huge performance differences between the same reports with and without hidden objects. Furthermore we suspect that some trouble with our reporting server environment base on using these reports through enduser.
Every advice would be welcome!
Regards,
bsc

If you said that working with EVDRE for each separate sheet is fin ethat's means the main problem it is related to your VB custom macro interdependecy.
I suggest to add a log (to write into a text file)for you Macro and you will se that actually that minute is staying to perform operations from custom Macro.

Using START WITH and CONNECT BY PRIOR in a report

Hi - I am using Oracle 9i and reports 10g. Does anyone know of a reason why running my sql in TOAD will produce the correct results, but the report is dropping records? I am using start with and connect by prior to build a hierarchy of linked records. The report is dropping the "child records" and only returning records from the route level.
Thanks you for your help.

SQL Performance issue: Using user defined function with group by

Hi Everyone,
im new here and I really could need some help on a weird performance issue. I hope this is the right topic for SQL performance issues.
Well ok, i create a function for converting a date from timezone GMT to a specified timzeone.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION I3S_REP_1.fnc_user_rep_date_to_local (date_in IN date, tz_name_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN date
IS
tz_name VARCHAR2(100);
date_out date;
BEGIN
SELECT
to_date(to_char(cast(from_tz(cast( date_in AS TIMESTAMP),'GMT')AT
TIME ZONE (tz_name_in) AS DATE),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
INTO date_out
FROM dual;
RETURN date_out;
END fnc_user_rep_date_to_local;The following statement is just an example, the real statement is much more complex. So I select some date values from a table and aggregate a little.
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stampThis statement selects ~70000 rows and needs ~ 70ms
If i use the function it selects the same number of rows ;-) and takes ~ 4 sec ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin'),
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin')I understand that the DB has to execute the function for each row.
But if I execute the following statement, it takes only ~90ms ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_gmt(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin','ny21654'),
noi
from
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stamp
)The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!
Usually i would say, that I use the third statement and the world is in order. BUT I'm working on a BI project with a tool called Business Objects and it generates SQL, so my hands are bound and I can't make this tool to generate the SQL as a subselect.
My questions are:
Why is the second statement sooo much slower than the third?
and
Howcan I force the optimizer to do whatever he is doing to make the third statement so fast?
I would really appreciate some help on this really weird issue.
Thanks in advance,
Andi

Hi,
The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!Not exactly. Plans are the same - true. They uses slightly different approach to call function. See:
drop table t cascade constraints purge;
create table t as select mod(rownum,10) id, cast('x' as char(500)) pad from dual connect by level <= 10000;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 't');
create or replace function test_fnc(p_int number) return number is
begin
    return trunc(p_int);
end;
explain plan for select id from t group by id;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from t group by test_fnc(id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from (select id from t group by id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));Output:

Performance issue using webelements and crystal

We have 2 reports named, u201CDAMAGE_REPORTSu201D AND u201CTDI_CHARTu201D
DAMAGE_REPORTS
There are 13 dynamic or static Prompts created using Webelements .After clicking on submit button(using
webelement) by selecting the prompt values, TDI_CHART report will get opened below the u201CDAMAGE_REPORTSu201D report.
TDI_CHART
TDI_CHART created using free-hand SQL which contains 2 commands
        1. Command-SQL is created based on two categories.
              Trend -Trend By Month ,Trend By Quarter,Trend By Week
               Non-Trend- Current Month ,Current Year to Date,Last Year to Date,Current Quarter,Last
                             Quarter,Current Week,Last Week,Last Month,Last Year Total
             Charts,Cross-tabs and table information is coming from this Query
       2.Image count-contains number of images information based on the prompt selection and it acts as a
              URL(opendocument) in the report to open TDI_THUMBNAIL report to display the thumbnail images.
Report information
TDI_CHART Report contains 8 charts,4 cross-tabs, summary information showing in table format(Detail
       section) and2 open document links(1.For image count 2.Export to excel(which shows the detail information
        of summary table)
Description
If the selection is Non-Trend Value from the Time period parameter , corresponding Chart will be shown along   with table information.(Table information is only required for Non-Trend Values).
If the Selection is Trend Value from the Time period parameter,the corresponding cross tab and chart will be shown and others will get suppressed.
Problem Area
After the prompt selection from u201CDamage_Reportsu201D, TDI_CHART report is taking around 1min 30 sec to show the chart and table or cross-tab.
In Database when we execute the above queries, it comes in 12 secs but whereas in reports it takes 1min 30 sec,can you guide us some steps to bring down this time?

hello Mufiza,
copy the url created at the step "After the prompt selection from u201CDamage_Reports".
paste this url into a new browser window and press enter.
what is the time to return this report?...this time should also be 1.5 minutes.
it sounds like you are using 2 commands in the same report. this will often cause performance issues, just like linking two stored procedures together or linking two disparate datasources together.
this would not be an issue related to webelements but related to the design of your target report.

Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

I am having issues using an apple external monitor connected to my macbook with bootcamp - in particular, if i connect the monitor to the computer when the computer is already on, it won't work. Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
Anybody experienced the same and can help?
Thx

just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

How to get around a performance issue when dealing with a lot of data

Hello All,
This is an academic question really, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my issue, but I have some options. I was wondering if anyone would like to throw in their two cents on what they would do.
I have a report, the users want to see all agreements and all conditions related to the updating of rebates and the affected invoices. From a technical perspective ENT6038-KONV-KONP-KONA-KNA1. THese are the tables I have to hit. The problem is that when they retroactively update rebate conditions they can hit thousands of invoices, which blossoms out to thousands of conditions...you see the problem. I simply have too much data to grab, it times out.
I've tried everything around the code. If you have a better way to get price conditions and agreement numbers off of thousands of invoices, please let me know what that is.
I have a couple of options.
1) Use shared memory to preload the data for the report. This would work, but I'm not going to know what data is needed to be loaded until report run time. They put in a date. I simply can't preload everything. I don't like this option much.
2) Write a function module to do this work. When the user clicks on the button to get this particular data, it will launch the FM in background and e-mail them the results. As you know, the background job won't time out. So far this is my favored option.
Any other ideas?
Oh...nope, BI is not an option, we don't have it. I know, I'm not happy about it. We do have a data warehouse, but the prospect of working with that group makes me whince.

My two cents - firstly totally agree with Derick that its probably a good idea to go back to the business and justify their requirement in regards to reporting and "whether any user can meaningfully process all those results in an aggregate". But having dealt with customers across industries over a long period of time, it would probably be bit fanciful to expect them to change their requirements too much as in my experience neither do they understand (too much) technology nor they want to hear about technical limitations for a system etc. They want what they want if possible yesterday!
So, about dealing with performance issues within ABAP, I'm sure you must be already using efficient programming techniques like using Hash internal tables with Unique Keys, accessing rows of the table using Field-Symbols and all that but what I was going to suggest to you is probably look at using [Extracts|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db9ed135c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]. I've had to deal with this couple of times in the past when dealing with massive amount of data and I found it to be very efficient in regards to performance. A good point to remember when using Extracts that, I quote from SAP Help, "The size of an extract dataset is, in principle, unlimited. Extracts larger than 500KB are stored in operating system files. The practical size of an extract is up to 2GB, as long as there is enough space in the filesystem."
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.

Performance issues using JavaFX on different notebooks

Hello,
unfortunately i feel forced to ask a question about performance issues. As far as i understood, most of the problems with JavaFX 2.0 that are discussed here or somewhere else seem to have there roots in a huge count of nodes and/or some kind of animations. In opposition to this I'm writing a business application for the desktop with JavaFX as a Swing-replacement. There are no permanent animations at all and the scene has all in all 200 nodes(measured it with ScenicView) yet. I use no WebView-Nodes.
The application runs very well on my development computer with 16 GB of RAM, a Intel Corei7 2600K processor and a mid-class AMD grafics device. Also, there are no performance issues on a Core i3 Notebook. As soon as i start the application on my Thinkpad X220 with Core i7-2620M CPU, 8 GB RAM and Intel HD graphics it get's almost unusable. For example, there is a diagramm(see attached screenshot), which is situated in a scrollpane. As soon as i try to pan it, the panning extremely slow(i'd say 2-4 fps). Another example is that hovering buttons is not very responsive. Moving the mouse over a button causes the hover effect 0.3-0.5 seconds after it entered the button. Fading transitions that i use at some places are not smooth as well.
I made sure that the app is running using a hardware renderer on each computer. Also, i tried to force a fallback to the software renderer using the "-Dprism.order=j2d" switch but it only performed worse.
So my first question is: Are there known issues with mobile processors/graphic devices of the mentioned type?

I just tested it with Java 8 ea build 61 and beside the fact that a small amount of css didn't work anymore, it runs very well with this version of Java(/FX). Damn...i hope that some of this performance fixes will be backported to some Java 7 update.

Performance issues using multiple CC design programs?

Hey! I'm Gwidz, and I'm having some performance issues with my adobe programs. I primarily use Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator for design work. I find that when I have any two of them open, I experience delays in clicking and dragging using my pen tablet, and laggy zooming in/scrolling. This issue disappears when I only have one program open.
I just bought this laptop to use these programs. Here's the specs:
Operating system: Windows 8 64 bit
Processor: 4th gen intel i7 4700HQ
Ram: 16gb DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M 3GB GDDR5
Cost me 2000 bucks on amazon, and I'm pretty disappointed in how things are going right now. I definitely don't think it could be a hardware issue, could it?
I'm using an SSD as my scratch disc, and using the 64 bit versions of all programs that have it. Nothing else running in the background except these programs, and yet still I experience poor performance.
Admitedly, I'm new to windows 8, and I'm learning everything that I can about it in hopes of resolving this issue.
If anyone has any advice, any and all is greatly aprpeciated!

I'm seeing this exact same choppiness and VERY slow response times with the same low use of CPU and memory... WITH JUST ONE APP OPEN! Illustrator.
Macbook Retina Pro, 15 inch.
I've tried with the GPU forced off, and forced on, and on autoswitching.
I've tried clean reinstalls. And reboots. Etc.
This is not hardware related. It's something utterly flawed with the way Illustrator (and InDesign) draw do things. They are just grotesquely inefficient.
The fact that the program/app makes no effort to use more CPU/GPU to speed up responsiveness to the user input is the real indicator of how poorly optimised this code is.
After Effects is better. But it's adaptive degradation STUTTERS grotesquely, and it's actually better to try to turn that off. Although I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to turn that off at the moment.. forgotten where I previously found that switch.
Photoshop is also better.
I'm also talking about small files. Nothing in them. Just start drawing... Stutters... atrocious frame rates for the update of the screen and very poor response rates to input.
This is 64 bit optimised? I don't think so.

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Using Flash with Facebook Connect

I was wondering if anyone has any information or resources on using Flash AS3 with facebook connect. What I'm particularly looking for is how to do facebook authentication within the flash interface (so the user doesn't need to exit to the facebook website to connect) and also if there are any ways to make facebook calls from within flash once you have authenticated (rather than loading xml generated in PHP as I am currently doing).
Any information or resources would be appreciated.

The dial in process would be exactly the same as if you were dialing into the bridge as a participant. Most of the time it needs the following steps.
Phone number:           800-555-5555
Delay:                        3000 ms
DTMF: (passcode)     123456#
Delay:                        3000ms
DTMF:                      1 or # (for a roll call or to join the bridge)
However if the provider is not using a SIP compliant bridge, the Universal Voice tool will fail upon attempting to dial out.
Also, for the hosted environment, the phone bridge must have a toll-free number.

Performance issue using WDPortalUtils.getService

Hi,
I have an application with multiple componnets inside a main component.
If i perform ADD using ADD component it is not getting refreshing in the front end but it is getting refreshing in the back end.
But if i refresh the application data is getting refreshed in the front end too
I am refreshing my application for every operation with the given code
Willl it give any performance issue

Using Password with DSNless connection to Access DB

Has anyone actually used a password to connect to a local Access database? I keep getting the "Not a valid password" error.
I have created an application for distribution and do not want to allow the users to change my database, so I put a password on it. Because the users can create new databases with the program, I would like to use a DSNless connection to allow the user to change the databases easily.
I have successfully worked with the database through a DSN connection with the password, and with the DSNless connection without a password, but am unable to get in with a DSNless connection and a password.
I have read as many postings and topics using the main key words as I can find in the APIs, forums, tutorials, bug databases, etc., but this topic is not addressed.
I have tried as many permutations on the advice I did find, and nothing works so far. Here are a few of the tries I made:
String theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\\demo\demo.mdb;Password=\"demo\"";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl)
String userid = "";
String password = "demo"
String theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\demo\demo.mdb;"
con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl,userid,password);What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate any help I can get.

I'm sorry, I should have posted my entire code. As you can see, I have included the Class.forName method. The password that I set on was on the database; I did not create any users. The question about copying a database vs. creating a new one is moot here, because this database was created independently from any others. (However, you are correct in that I am actually copying a "Master" version of the database, not actually creating a totally new one.)
Here is my code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import sun.jdbc.odbc.*;
public class testPassword {
private String theurl;
private String user = "";
private String password = "";
private Connection con;
private Statement stmt;
public testPassword() {
    try {
      Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" +
            "DBQ=c:\\demo\\demo.mdb;Password=\"demo\"";
      boolean found = false;
      con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl);
      try {
     stmt = con.createStatement();
     String pword = "";
        String query = "SELECT password FROM SysInfo";   // system Info
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        while (rs.next()) {
          pword = rs.getString("password");
        rs.close();
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
        System.out.println("Inner Password: " + pword);
        System.exit(0);
      } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Inner failed " + e.toString());
          System.out.println("Outer Password: " + password);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Outer failed " + ex.toString());
        System.out.println("URL: " + theurl);
public static void main(String [] args) {
     testPassword app = new testPassword();
}BTW, for those replies that I keep seeing all over the forum that say that you MUST create a DSN, that is NOT correct. Please do a search on "dsnless" or "dsn-less" and you will see that it is totally feasible.

Using StartTLS with IMAP connection to Exchange is giving me different certificates for machines different to the IMAP server, security exception each time

I'm using Thunderbird with my work email account, which is using Exchange, this is not officially supported but access is allowed via IMAP.
The problem is when I'm using StartTLS or SSL I'm getting multiple different self signed certificates being returned, seeming depending on which specific backend server is handling the request, each time it causes the Confirm Security Exception dialog to be displayed. If I confirm the exception I get the dialog being displayed again until eventually I get a certificate that seems to match the first certificate I confirmed, at which point I can download or send my pending mail.
Thus is seems that there is only one certificate being stored as an exception for each server connection. Is there some way round this?
Thanks.

What is the reason for the exception prompt in the first place?
