Performing E2ETrace Analysis unuseable in Citrix-Server-Environment?

Hallo,
Since SAP CLient Plug-In 1.11 for E2E Trace Analysis, we get the error "ERROR: Found running application instance(s): please close the open application instance" if IE8 sessions are startet before launching the plugin.
so, executing the E2E -Trace analysis on CITRIX-Server with the Plugin seems to be unusable, because a lot of user might logged into CITRIX Server and performing IE8-Sessions?
are there any suggestions?
Thank you very much
With kind regards
W.Grumptmann

Dear Guilherme Balbinot,
Thank you for your answer.
yes, i read this note and i used the latest plugin attached to this note.
They wrote: "Terminal services environments such as WTS and Citrix are not explicitly tested".
You have to stop existing IE-Sessions. also in Citrix-environment.
so you can not use it in Citrix Environment where a lot of user are performing IE-Sessions.
With kind regards.

Required info on SQL Server Performance Issue Analysis and Troubleshoot way

Dear All,
I am going to prepare the simple documentation steps on SQL Server Performance Issue Analysis and troubleshoot method. I am struggling to make this documentation since we have different checklist (like network latency,disk latency, memory/processor pressure,SQL
query tuning etc) to validate once application performance issue reported from the customer.So, I am looking for the experts document or link sharing .
Your input will help for document preparation in better way.
Thanks in advance.

Intermittend DNS resolution, timeserver, group policy updates errors in client logs in Win 2012 R2 single server environement

We recently switched hardware and server software Win SBS 2008 to 2012R2 for a small network roughly 40 clients (Win7 Pro / Win 8.1 Pro) about 16 running concurrently at a given time and one network printer with the printer queue residing on the DC as well.
I read that a single server environment might not be ideal in particular no fail-over but that is an accepted risk in this particular network here.
Errors:
Error 1043: Timeout during name resolution request
Error 1129: Group policy updates could not be processed due to DC not available
Error 5719: Could not establish secure connection to DC, DC not available
Occasionally but disappears after a while
Error 134: As a result of a DNS resolution timeout could not reach time server
Symptoms
On Win 7 Clients
Network shares added through Group Policy will not show sometimes
Network shares disconnect (red X) and when accessed return access authorization error after one or two clicks on the share finally grant access again
When the issue with accessing network shares occurs, it usually also affects Internet access meaning a 'server not responding' error appears in the browser windows when trying to open just any web page
nslookup during the incident returns cannot resolve error
ipconfig on client shows correct default router (VDSL Router) and DHCP / DNS Domain Controller
Also, the Win system log shows the above errors during these incidents, however, the nuimber of incidents vary from 20-30
On Win 8.1 Clients
Same as above with the slight variation for network shares apparently due to Server 2012 and Win 8.1 clients managing drive shares differently. However, network share refresh does not work with this clients. In most cases only a gpupdate /force returns
drive shares but usually only for the active session. After logoff / logon the shares are gone again.
The issue does appear to be load related since it occurs even if there are only one or two workstations active.
Server Configuration
Dell R320 PowerEdge 16GB / 4TB 7200RPM RAID10 / GBitEthernet
Zyxel 1910-48 Port Switch
VDSL 50Mbps Down / 20Mbps Up
Since the DC is the only local DNS and there are no plans to add another one or move DNS to another server, the DNS server is configured with this own address as preferred DNS with three DNS forwarders 1) VDSL Router 2) ISP DNS1 3) ISP DNS2
Currently only one Network card is active for problem determination reasons.
There appears to be no consensus concerning IPV6 enabled or disabled, I tried both with no apparent effect
I have set all network cards server and client to Full Duplex and the same speed, also disabled Offload functions within the adapter settings. Some but no consistent improvements.
Best Practice Analyzer Results
DNS server scavening not enabled
Root hint server XYZ must respond to NS queries for the root zone
More than one forwarding server should be configured (although 3 are configured)
NIC1 should be configured to use both a preferred and alternate DNS (there is only one DNS in this network)
I have found some instructions to apply changes to the clients through a host file but I would rather like to understand whether this DNS response time issue can be resolved on the server for example timing setting perhaps. Currently the DNS forwarders are
set to 3 second.
Since a few people have reported issues with DNS but most are working with multi DNS, DC environment I could not really apply any suggestions made there. perhaps there is anyone like me who is running a single server who has overcome or experience the same
issues. Any help would be appreciated

Hello Milos thx for your reply.. my comments below
1. What does it "switched"? You may mean migration or new installation. We do not know...
>> Switched is probably the incorrect term, replaced would be the appropriate wording. Before, there was a HP Proliant Server with SBS 2008 with distinct domain and now there is a Dell Server with MS 2012 R2 with a distinct domain. Client were
removed from one (SBS) domain and added to the new Server 2012 domain. Other components did not change for example same Network Switch or VDSL Router, Workstations and Printer
2. Two DCs are better alternative. Or backup very frequently. There are two groups of administrators. Those who have lost DC and those who will experience this disaster in near future.
>> Correct, and I am aware of that
3. NIC settings in W 7 and W 8.1, namely DNS points to DC (...and NOTHING else. No public IP or that of router DNS.))
>> Correct, this is how it's currently implemented. Clients point to DC for DHCP and DNS and Default Router, no public IP or DNS. The only references to ISP DNS exist on the VDSL Router itself as provided through ISP when establishing VDSL
Link and the list of Forwarders in the DNS Server configuration. However, I have just recently added the ISPs DNS as forwarders for test purposes and will probably learn tomorrow morning whether this had any effect for better or worse.
4. Do nslookup to RR on clients. RR branch is saying client basic info on LDAP parameters of AD.
>> Will post as soon as available
5. I do not use forwarders and the system works
>> Ok, does this mean it works for you in a similar or the same infrastructure setup or are you saying it is not required at all and I can remove any forwarder in a scenario like mine? If not required can you explain a bit more why it is not
required apart from that it does work for you that way?
6. DHCP should sit on DC (DHCP on router is disabled)
>> Correct, no other device is configured to provide DHCP service other than DC and DHCP is currently running on DC
7. NIC settings in DC points to itself (loopback address 127.0.0.1)
>> Are you sure this is still correct and does apply to Server 2012? I am reading articles stating that it should be the servers own IP but local loop or should this be added as alternate DNS in addition to the servers own IP?
8. Use IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS whenever you change DNS settings.
>> OK, that was not done every time I changed some settings but I can do that next week. Reboot alone would not suffice, correct?
9. Test your system with dcdiag.
>> See result below
10. Share your findings.

Milos

Serious performance issue with LV 7.1 Development Environment

I'm posting this issue to the forums prior to submitting a bug report to ensure that the problems I'm having are reproducible. To reproduce this bug, you're going to have to be an advanced user with a large project (hundreds to thousands of VIs) as the performance problem is related to the number of VIs loaded.
The issue is the increasingly poor performance of the LabVIEW 7.1 Development Environment as the number of VIs in memory increases. The actions affected include switching between front panel and diagram, saving a VI, copy and paste, clicking a menu, and the mysterious time spent (compiling? editing the runtime menu? changing the toolbar state?) between pressing the run button and when the code actually starts executing. Scrolling and, interestingly, copying via a control-drag are not affected. Running time of entirely on-diagram code does not seem to be affected.
These problems are quite severe and significantly decrease my productivity as a programmer. Since they are development environment UI issues, it's been difficult for me to find a good example VI; the best I can do is the attached "LV Speed Test.vi". It doesn't test the issues that affect me most, but it seems to suffer from the same problem.
This simple VI just shows and hides the menu bar 100 times in a tight for loop. When it is the only VI loaded, it executes in about 350 msec on my machine. (2.4 GHz P-IV/640 MB RAM/Win2k). However, when I load a single project-encompassing VI (let's call it the "giant") that references a total of about 900 user and VI-lib subVIs, the test routine takes almost a minute and half to run...about 240 times slower! I've tried this on my laptop with similar results.
The problem appears to be related to the *number* of VIs loaded and not the memory utilization. For example, if I close the "giant", and create a new VI ("memhog") that does nothing but initialize a length 20,000,000 array of doubles and stores it in an uninitialized shift register, LabView's overall memory usage (as shown in the task manager) jumps enormously, but LV Speed Test executes in about 450 msec...only slightly slower than with a fresh copy of Labview.
The problem seems to be related to excessive context switching. The Windows task manager shows over a thirteen hundred page faults occur when "LV Speed Test" is run with the "giant" in the background, versus zero or none when run by itself or when "memhog" has used up 160+MB of space.
The problem only seems to affect the frontmost window. (Unfortunately, that's where we LV programmers spend all of our time!) If you start "LV Speed Test" and then put "giant" in the foreground "LV Speed Test" runs much faster. In fact, if you use the VI server to put the "giant" VI in the foreground programmatically at the start of "LV Speed Test", execution time drops back to 450 msec, and there are no page faults!
These results show the issue is not related to video drivers or the Windows virtual memory system. My suspicion is that there is a faulty routine in LV 7.1 that is traversing the entire VI hierarchy every time certain events are thrown in the foreground window. It could be due to a problem with the Windows event tracking system, but this seems less likely.
I have been programming LV for about 7 years and switched from LV 6.1 to 7.1 about four months ago. I know NI engineers have put thousands of hours developing and testing LV 7.1, but honestly I find myself wishing I had never upgraded from using LV 6.1. (To whomever thought "hide trailing zeros" should be the default for floating point controls...what were you thinking?!)
I know each new version of LabView causes old-timers like me to grouse that things were better back in the days when we etched our block diagrams on stone tablets, etc., and honestly I'm not going to go back. I am committed to LabView 7.1. I just wish it were not so slow on my big projects!

Hi,
I can confirm this behavior. Setting the execution system to "user
interface" helps a bit, but there is still a big difference.
I get a feeling it has something to do with window messages, perhaps
WM_PAINT or something, that is handled differently if a VI is not
frontmost... But what do I know...
Don't know if it should be called a bug, but it sure is something that could
be optimized.
Regards,
Wiebe.

When we go for shared Server environment?

When we go for shared Server environment from Dedicated server mode?
When we have to choose thi shared Server mode?
Which is the optimized way?

> When we go for shared Server environment from Dedicated server mode?
You do not. It is not one or the other - it is using both correctly. You want shared server sessions to service applications (any, from web/app servers to flat clients) that are OLTP in nature. They fire off short-and-sweet SQLs that takes a second or three to execute.
A shared server pool of a few processes can service a very large number of clients.
You want to use dedicated servers to service OLAP type clients. They fire off complex SQLs that can tie up the server processes for several minutes at a time.
And that in a nutshell is how to apply the two. It is not Shared Servers versus Dedicated Server. It is about using The Right Tool For The Job. Nothing more and nothing less.
As for Windows, I will not really bother quickly with shared server connections. On Windows both shared and dedicated servers runs as threads in the main Oracle executable process image.
There is thus very little resource saving by reducing the number of threads as the footprint of a thread is tiny in comparison to a brand new process. The amount of resources saved by a reducing the number of dedicated server threads is not significant. If anything, Oracle on Windows has shown to scale better than Oracle on Linux in this regard. (refer to [url http://www.perftuning.com/pdf/Comparison_Oracle_Windows_Linux.pdf]A Comparison of Oracle Database 10gR2 Real Application Cluster Performance on Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition x64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86_64 from the Performance Tuning Corporation).
And this is exactly the opposite of how Oracle behaves on Unix. Each server process is a physical kernel process. This means that a servicing a 1000 concurrent sessions with a 1000 dedicated server processes, each consuming memory and resources, are expensive. Conversely, supporting a 1000 concurrent sessions with a 100 shared server processes is (almost) 90% cheaper.
This makes Shared Server a desirable option to use to scale OLTP sessions on Unix-based systems (or any platform where Oracle does not use multi-threading but multi-processing).
PS. As the Linux kernel support Posix threads (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_POSIX_Thread_Library), it begs the question as to when Oracle is going to support multi-threading on Linux instead of multi-processing.. or at least give us the option to choose.

GPs in multiple server environment

Hi,
Does anyone have experience using GP in a multiple WAS server environment. Our scenario is one in which different servers have different user groups and are located in different regions. We want to have a GP be able to transfer a process to another user group on another server and have the process flow continue there.
Is there something available "out of the box" or is it necessary to develop custom code (in all likelihood based on web-services)?
Thanks.
Dick

Hi Dick,
This is an interesting problem that you have.
There is no out of the box solution for this, but you may be able to architect this in a way that it would not require any custom code.
If you created a GP process for every region, which in all make up the logical super GP process, you can transfer process state and perform instantiation from one to the other.
For instance:
Process 1 (Region US, Server 1) upon completion starts Process 2 (Region EMEA, Server 2). The last step (Action) of Process 1 would be a Web Service Callable object which starts Process 2 and passes any PK's for state information.
If you are using CAF Entities for persistence, I recommend that you keep these all on the same server and the distributes GP processes can access as needed.
Does this make sense?
Best Regards,
Austin.

How can I set firefox as default browser in citrix server, only for few groups. does -silent -setdefaultbrowser option working in latest version?

How can I set firefox as default browser in citrix server, only for few groups. does -silent -setdefaultbrowser option working in latest version?

I think so: [http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/330585-firefox-default-browser-for-all-users/]
Can you also set the default programs in the Group Policy User Settings?

My acrobat plugin application crashes in Citrix server

Hi,
The old version of my plugin application was able to run on acrobat installed in citrix server.In the old version, resource file was present in the plugin project folder itself.
In the new version of my plugin application,I maintained separate project folder containing resource files and created the dll for that,which gets loaded in my plugin project.This is the only difference between my old and new version.
In Citrix server, I am able to install the application in the acrobat,after installation if I click on acrobat.I get run time error saying-
Run time error!!
Program: <acrobat installation path>
abnormal program termination!!
I developed the plugin using acrobat sdk7.
What has might the problem or went wrong so that application crashes on server?
please help,as i have no idea on citrix servers.newto this environment.
Thanks in advance,
Sind

Hi,
Can you check if you are experiencing the same crash on other machine as well ? What does your plugin application do ?

NormalEmail.dotm pop up 'save as' problem, citrix server

Hello,
Problem:
When sending a Word document as a PDF (File -> Save and
Send -> Send as PDF) via Outlook. A continuous prompt
of 'Save As' shows up trying to save the NormalEmail.dtm file to the users profile. The email sends but this pop-up occurs every time.
Our Environment:
Citrix user profile management.
Outlook 2010
Word 2010
Temp Fix:
Deleting normal.dotm and normalemail.dotm under C:\profiles$\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Copying our default NormalEmail.dotm file to that location.
This is a solution until the user logs off and back onto the citrix server refreshing their Email Profile (Unpacking/Unloading)
Searching through the forums, people mentioned outlook addins, but running the Outlook client in Safemode offered no solution
Thank you

Hi,
Please open your Registry Editor and check on the AppData registry value to see if it is set to a value date other than %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. If so, try changing it back to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming and then test the issue again.
If above doesn't work, we can also try adding the following registry key to see if it helps:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Microsoft.OutlookBackup.1
DWORD: RequireShutdownNotification
Value: 1
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Permissions to run addons on a citrix server

Hi everyone,
I have a customer who is using a Citrix server for their users of B1 but are having problems to run the addons
(in this case XL Reporter and another Swedish local addon) if the user is not a local administrator on
the Citrix server.
The customer does not want all users to be local administrators - so the question is:
What permissions do you need to have to be able to run addons in a Citrix environment?
Best regards,
Susanna

Login to the citrix server console as the Administrator.
Login into SAP B1 (make sure you have all the proper authorizations or Super User)
Install the Addons
That should do it.
We run 3 addons on two Citrix servers and I always install them while logged in as the Admin of the servers.

Installation of xMII into a virtual server environment

Can we deploy xMII into a Virtual Server environment? If so, are there any downside issues we need to be aware of before considering such an option?
Appreciate any ideas

Jaremy,
Can you please qualify what you meant by "typically". Is there any benchmark study on performance in production that you are basing on? Otherwise, what else could be the reason you do not advise in production?
We are currently installing xMII in Dev VMWare environment. Our company is seriously advising only VMWARE for Dev and test. If you have any benchmarks, that will help.
Thanks.

CSA on a Citrix server

I would like to hear from any that is successfully running CSA 4.5.1 on their citrix server.
Every citrix server I have installed this on ends up with a huge performance problem. And the load on these servers is actually fairly light - only about 20 users.

Richard, any luck with this? I have CSA 5.1 on Citrix, and we have had some real perf problems. The CPU appears to get super busy, so much so that even keyboard and mouse events are ignored (but without blue screen). Heavily loaded Citrix servers at about 40-50 users using all sorts of applications (but no engineering apps or crazy stuff).
After TAC suggested removing csauser.dll from reg key AppInit_DLLs we are now removing all groups except one to carry UI policy and test mode, etc. We will measure our relative success with this after a week's time. Total number of rules now == 40-50.
Avg CPU util on these servers pre-CSA was 25-50% with spikes going much higher. To me this reflects the classic CPU spinlock problem. But what is at fault here? CSA, Citrix, or something else? These are HPQ DL360 and DL380 servers. It ocurred to me that it could be mgmt software.
About 2 yrs ago there was a *major* problem between CSA and Dell mgmt software. Both products installed separate versions of MSVC70.DLL or something similar, but into separate directories. Once CSA rewrote the reg key to point to _its_ version of the file, the servers would blue screen. Boy was that awesome, let me tell you. To be fair, I don't this think this exhibits the same symptoms.

Remote desktop and citrix server

On my corporate network, which is Windows based, we are able to hit our Citrix server from inside the firewall using the Windows remote desktop program. How do I do the same with my Mac, when I am on the network inside our firewall? I can reach the server with no problems from outside the firewall.

What application are you using to try and connect? I would guess that you're using the Citrix app or Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, neither of which will be most likely to get assistance with in this forum which is for Apple's own software for managing networked Macs. If you'll tell us what software you're using to try and connect, we can probably direct you to the place where you'll be most likely to get quick and accurate suggestions.

Problem with exporting a report to excel vial citrix server

Hi,
We are encountering a problem with exporting a report to excel through ALV local file icon.A spread sheet is downloading only one row (From header) instead of many rows from the ALV output .
Above is working fine for the GUI installed on my PC, but not throgh the Citrix server.
Can any body have idea on above mentined?
Regards,
SK.

I understand that you're trying to download the file to a local computer through Citrix. In this case you need autorizations in Citrix for your user ( CItrix user)
