Purge is slow and painful

We've implemented a purge based on technote 398578.1 and it's bringing our db to it's knees when it runs. We're keeping 28 days worth of activity in out BPEL database and the purge is doing full table scans on cube_instances, invoke_message and dlv_message.
Any basic purge will be based on a timestamp and the percentage of rows purge will be a small fraction of total rows.
Other that taking the unsupported route of adding some sensible indexes does anyone have any suggestion for improving the process ?

I've raised an SR with Oracle and the response is basically 'unsupported'.
Without a supported means of purging the BPEL database how can BPEL be considered production ready ? I can see that adding a sensible index here and there will make the Oracle purge scripts fly along but that could screw us in terms of support.
Has anyone else here worked through the Purge issue and come up with a performant, supported method ?

Is Blackberry going to die a slow and painful death?

I am an avid Blackberry user, with my Torch 9800 bridged to my 64gig Playbook, and I love all of the functionality and uses that they have.
The trouble is that I am sick of seeing all of these apps that are only made for iPhone,iPad, and Android devices, while Blackberry is left at the wayside.
It`s almost like the Blackberry line of products is on Life support with a DNR order and someone waiting to pull the plug.

I don't think so (you asked for opinion, right, not facts?).
So, can you name five apps on iPad and Android that you don't have.. that you must have? And 5,000 flatulating apps don't count.
I don't see it on life support at all. There's a great article here you might read:
RIM is a far more formidable player than either Google or Apple http://t.co/IPazVcV6

Slow and painful macbook degeneration

I am really having some problems with my macbook. The following things have happened in the past week or so:
-I open up my macbook and type in my password. When I hit enter, the macbook goes back to sleep. This used to happen very rarely, now it happens all the time.
-Just today, I got an X in the battery symbol while the computer was plugged in. It disappeared after I closed and reopened the computer.
-Yesterday, I pressed the power button on my macbook and the drive whirred up, optical drive made the usual sound, the startup chime sounded and the screen backlight came on just like normal. A split second later the computer shut down suddenly and rebooted with no problems. I really hope this isn't RSD.
-Airport connectivity is sketchy. It doesn't always reconnect after waking up.
-When clicking on a wireless network, the airport icon freezes for about 15 seconds and an error message pops up. After several tries, it will finally connect.
-iSight fails occasionally.
The only reason that I posted all these symptoms together is because they are all getting worse, leading me to believe that they are somehow related. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I understand my message was vague, but I don't always have time to elaborate completely. Yes, I do "understand these messages have meaning". I was looking for a connection between the problems more than anything else, considering all the symptoms are increasing in frequency. In the future, don't assume that anyone is a complete idiot just because they give a 'sketchy' description of a problem.
Anyway,
1) It says it cannot connect, thats all it says. I'd be willing to chalk that prob up to my setup if all else fails, it wouldn't be surprising to me if it really was the router.
2) Fail means that is isn't detected. Photo booth tells me to plug in a camera sometimes, and says the camera is in use other times. This has only happened once.
3) Umm...if my keyboard wasn't working then I wouldn't be able to press enter. If I enter the wrong password, it tells me.
To elaborate, I open the macbook, type my password (correctly), press enter. My desktop flashes quickly, then goes blank. The sleep light comes on and a few seconds later starts to pulsate, indicating that the macbook is asleep. I press the space bar one or two times and the macbook wakes up again. I type my password (correctly again), press enter, and everything is normal. It has never happened two times in a row.

Tiger's Slow and Painful Death

I love Apple and always trust it but recently every time I use it things are doing the "Unexpectedly Quit". It used to happen every once in a while, but now It's becoming rare that I can open an application and keep it open for the entire time I want it to. I am also getting the spinning rainbow and having to force quit many applications. It's gotten to the point where I can't use it anymore! PLEASE HELP!
Flat Pannel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I suggest you restart, and run the Unix File System Check Utility (FSCK).
Actions:
Restart
Before you hear to tones of restart, hold down two keys:
Command Key and S
This should boot you into UNIX.
Once the code stops, type the following commands precisely as below:
sbin/fsck -f -n
This should begin running the FSCK routine. Depending on the speed of your machine this may take a couple of minutes.
If it says "Your Mac needs repair," then
redo the FSCK commands. Do this until it reads
"Your Mac appears OK"
Then type:
reboot
on the command line and you will be back in GUI.
See if that doesn't help. If it doesn't, then download Clam and see if you have picked up some sort of a virus that may be causing problems (unlikely but not utterly out of the question).
It costs a bit, but you might consider purchasing either Diskwarrior or Tech Tool Pro. These are what the Apple Geniuses typically use at the Apple Stores to try to software fix your machine. I always keep a copy of both, and always upgrade, because they really come in handy when problems such as the one you describe occur. Diskwarrior is faster.
Another thing you should consider is to reformat your hard drive. I do this about once every year or so on all my machines. The reason is that the hard drive (and CD/DVD) are the only mechanical parts on today's computers. The hard drive is almost always spinning at 5400 RPM, thus they physically wear. This can cause directory structure problems. Simply make a copy of your system to an external USB or Firewire drive (I recommend SuperDuper for this, because it makes a bootable exact copy of your previous system). Then use DiskUtility from your bootable external drive to reformat the Macintosh Hard Drive. Then clone from your external back to Macintosh Hard drive, and any wear problems should have disappeared. Like I said, I do this every year or so on every machine. You can buy 100 Gig or more externals for a very limited amount of money. I recommend La Cie drives due to their quality and durability. (I back up everything I am working on every day).
One Final Suggestion. If you have Tech Tool Pro, and you didn't reformat your drive, then Optomize it. Files get our of sequence as you use them, and particularly so if you have limited Hard Drive Space. The parts of files get fragmented, somtimes all over a drive due to being rewritten in space that is available. Optomizing resequences the files, which usually results in a huge time gain.
There are probably good freeware Optimizers or Disk Utilities available, but since I have been using Warrior and Tech Tool for perhaps 10 years now, I always have the most up to date versions.
If none of that works you might want to take your machine to an Apple Store or a Mac repair place. Tiger shouldn't be acting like that, it is quite a robust system.
Why they suggested MacJanitor
It is because you use sleep. Usually your system runs its routine maintenance between roughly 1 AM and 4 AM in the morning, but if it is in Sleep, then this maintenance won't occur. I also use Sleep and use MacJanitor about once a week or so to clean up.
Good Luck

Mobileme calendar freezing and painfully slow

Both my ipad and iphone4 calendars are painfully slow and freeze up. Switching from month to month now takes about 10-15 seconds while it used to be instantaneous. Anyone know if there is a fix for this.

I have this problem too. My symptoms are that when I open the calendar, the calendar starts, but appears empty. The "network in use" spinning indicator next to the wifi on symbol in the screen header is on. It takes at least 20 seconds and as much as 45 seconds before any calendar entries are displayed. If you try to change the view (e.g., from day to week) or change the date(s) displayed, it also takes a long time to display.
If I had a slow internet connection, I guess I could understand, but I have a 15Mbps down, 5Mbps up FIOS connection which is really fast. I don't think the problem is related to wifi, but I couldn't say for sure.
I don't have this problem on my iPhone 4 (also iOS 4.2.1). It's a tad slower than it used to be, but at least it displays calendar entries within a couple seconds.
When I enter a new appointment, the same thing happens--after I hit done, the entry doesn't appear for many seconds after the appointment entry form has been closed. It's like it has to send it to MobileMe and then download it before it will display it.
On top of all that, the calendar app sometimes crashes, which it never did before.
If this keeps up, I'll have to move to Google calendar, as the very long delays makes the calendar unusable in practice.

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

Anyone else finding iCloud to be less than stellar?? It is slow and scrolling through my mail is absolutely painful.

Hi everyone - I've been an Apple fan for a very long time. Had one of the original iMacs. I have found iCloud to be one of the worst products that Apple has put together and am ready to discontinue the service. Just today I could not even get to my mail from my work PC. Scrolling through email is slow and "sticky" for lack of a better word. Is anyone else experiencing this with iCloud?
Thanks.
Liz

Glad you found a solution on your own! Your predicament sounds like an IP address conflict: your Mac and your iPhone competing for the same IP address in your DHCP lease; your router can satisfy one, or the other, but not both at the same time. Happened to me, and I had to renew the DHCP lease from System Preferences/Network while trying to connect both devices to the Internet at the same time; no more problems since then, but it all depends on the way your router handles simultaneous requests to the Web.

Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

Hi all,
About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
Thanks,
Nathan

I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

MacBook Pro running slow and lagging during app switches/start

I mean, it's really getting bad. I have to force quit repeatedly and then by some miracle - something takes and the program opens. Most of the time this happens with Photoshop and Firefox (which is what I use most often). PS does not have a bunch of add-ons running or installed. It's pretty much CS3 factory.
I ran Disk Utility yesterday - during the verify disc, it told me to boot from the install disc to fix the 2 errors it found. I backed everything up and I did. Ran all the verifies and repairs from the start disc.
Still running slow and by this I mean when I open an application it takes a ridiculously long time to open the double-clicked document or just the program itself to get to a new doc. I noticed it again this morning with Excel (which is something I don't usually leave open and running).
What else I have done, which helped but just a smidgen ... was to remove all the extra fonts (and I did have thousands) in Font Book. I also removed Font Book entirely because it was another program that was locking up and needing force quit all the time ... and I just plain don't like it. So I installed Suitcase Fusion and only have the bare minimum needed in there (which kind of bothers me since I am used to have thousands on hand that just need to be turned on or off - yes I know, I keep them all off unless they are absolutely needed). But I only have one set in the Suitcase (42 font family).
I got my laptop in Feb ... so this painfully slow and lagging stuff shouldn't be happening. It used to work great. I could have all the apps open, flipping between them, really getting things done.
Here's my comp info:
Version 10.6.4
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 500gb but I have 345gb free
Any obvious things I am overlooking? Any suggestions on how to get this fairly new thing back up to speed?
Thanks!

Font Problems and Management in Mac OS X

Does anybody else find itunes has become really slow and unresponsive since the lastest version upgrade?

Does anybody have any ideas to help with Itunes? its become slow and useless sine upgrading to the latest version. i can still download at normal speeds from the site but initial opening and navigation are painfully slow.

Suddenly, Firefox is very slow and lethargic and keeps showing an error message on the side of the page. Why?

Yesterday, I was working on the website, Shutterfly. Suddenly, there was an error message that it couldn't find a certain page. Now, Firefox continues to be very slow... and the error message keeps showing up on the search page, sometimes just parts of the message. I can still search but it is painfully slow and loads page partially and strangely... sometimes not full graphics, etc.

Or you can try what lots of other people have found, and thats that the base connector is dirty and the contacts are shorted by some debris.
The Apple store guys are good at cleaning them out - if you do it yourself, do not use any liquids at all.

IPhoto 11 very slow and hangs up the computer continuously

iPhoto 11 loaded fine and transferred all my photos. It hangs up a lot when being used. Sometime for 10 or 15 seconds. I ran Disk Utility to repait any permission issues. Still have the same problems. Sometimes it not only locks up iPhoto in a loop, but the whole computer. I normally comes out of the loop, but it is a pain. Anyone else having this issue with iPhoto 11, upgrading from last iPhoto?

This performance issue, slow and locking, seems to affect Mac Pro users more than other desktop or laptop users. Wondering if it could be a graphic card issue (my thinking) since Mac Pros had a graphic card problem earlier. Try rebuilding the library with just Options #1 and #6. If that doesn't help try again with #1 and #2.
Is your library on your boot drive? How much free space on your boot drive (with a Mac Pro I've thinking this is not a problem but have to ask)?
Do you have a backup of your iPHoto 09 library? If so keep it safe.

Captivate 5 Trial Insanely Slow and Laggy

Hello
I have recently been tasked with evaluating Adobe Captivate 5 for our company. I downloaded and installed the trial and have looked through the tutorials. However, I've noticed that the interface is ridiculously slow and laggy when using the software. And I mean PAINFULLY slow. For example, I'll open up a new project template, and simply inserting an image placeholder or text placeholder and dragging into the position I want it on the canvas takes 5-10 seconds. I'll drag my mouse to where I want it, then I'll have to wait 5 seconds before the object is actually moved. Meanwhile, the program is completely unresponsive. Honestly it feels as if I'm running this software on a Pentium 486. This only happens when doing any sort of operation on the canvas. I can navigate the menus at normal speed.
Is this program supposed to be this laggy/unresponsive? It is insanely frustrating to use, in fact, I wouldn't even deem it usable in this state...
PC Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50 GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia Quadro NVS 290
Windows XP Pro with SP3 and all updates
I use Photoshop all the time, and it runs beautifully. So do all other programs. I can't explain why Captivate would be so horribly laggy?

Definitely odd! Not a good way to start a product trial, that's for sure.
In any case, I ended up installing it on another computer that was relatively untouched in terms of software (only basic stuff installed, compared to my machine). And it worked basically how I expected it to, very smooth with no interface lag.
So that begs the question, what is installed on my workstation that causes Captivate to go nuts? It's ONLY Captivate too. I can have JUST Captivate open, or I could have 20 other programs open, and no matter what it lags like crazy when I do anything in it. Even switching between programs or pulling up the start menu takes several seconds when going from Captivate to something else. Whereas if I'm in any other program (including Photoshop CS5), Windows responds with its normal swiftness.
I've already uninstalled several video editing programs and other software, with no luck. I guess next to try is my AV software...

MacBook is getting slower and slower

My 2008 2.4ghz Intel MacBook is getting slower and slower at running basic operations. I have tried to free up my harddrive as it was VERY full. I free up 40 GB+ of space, but something is still filling it back up?
Here is what my profile looks like
How do I figure out what all this "other" material is?
I thought it was due to a lack of memory after upgrading to Lion, but it has been getting dramatically worse, which doesn't seem like a memory issue to me.
Any thoughts?

You're welcome.
The other section represents files that are uncategorized by your OS. That could be part of your OS, application fonts and so on.
2GB is enough to run lion but might be painfully slow. Try to bump it up to 4GB if your supports it.
If your MB is an early 08, you can go as high as 6GB. If you have a late 08, you can go as high as 8GB.
Only upgrade if you plan on keeping your MB longer.

Purge is slow and painful
