Recommended SYSADMIN processes to be run regularly

Can anyone recommend a list of system level concurrent processes that should be run on a regular basis? For instance, we've found that using AME, it's a good idea to run the "Synchronize WF LOCAL tables" process often so that users are all synchronized with the wf_roles table. We're using 12.0.5.
Thanks, Bill

Process Chain excessive run time

Hi all
Would like to know if any of you have experienced what we are experiencing.
We have a process chain that runs every night. It is running the same master data which usually only takes seconds.
However, on occassions, the same amount of data is taking over 18 hours to load.
When we look on monitor in the detail tab, it shows that it has only taken seconds but the header tab is showing 18 hours. This then delays any other subsequent process chains from being kicked off.
We are investigating as to why this is happening but any comments would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
I can suggest you few things which may help u...
1) Increase the parallel processing during extraction
2) Selective loading.
3) Every job will be having a priority (A, B, C A being the highest and C being the lowest), choose this based on your scenario.
4) Check with basis for the sizing of your server.
5) You can increase the number of background processes during data loads. This can be done by making dialog processes as Background processes.
For this you need basis inputs. (This is done in some profile settings by making the system behave differently during loads. (something like day mode/night mode))
6) There are some maintenance jobs that should run regularly in any SAP box to ensure proper functioning.
7) Use of start routines is preferred instead of update routines.
Assign points if these help u...

KK.

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck

How do i stop two processes that are running in activity monitor

how do i stop two processes that are running in Activity Monitor took one out of trash and it says preparing to move desktop still running with another one been running for hrs now want to stop these many thanks jen.

Select each one and Force Quit it.
But be careful there are many processes that are run by the OS that if quit will cause problems possibly even crash the system.

Can I change a process flow at run time??

Hello everybody,
I work in Oracle BPMS 11.1.1.5. I need to change a process flow at run time due to changes in the business logic, I mean add, delete and modify tasks, navigation flow, etc. I know business rules can be modified using Oracle BPM Composer, but I couldn't find the way to modify the process flow. I have seen other BPMS, like BizAgi, for ex. that can do that. Do Oracle BPMS have that functionality? Please I need it a lot!!!!
Regards and thanks in advance,
isabelbernely

Hi
As JonPetter mentioned, you can get this and preferably get only from Support. I hope you have some license if you going to prod with this. Use that and if possible talk to your sales guy and create a support account. Then request the feature pack. The thing is, if we put it in some public shared location, it is the violation of using the oracle product. Unless someone takes risks they may upload but still its not advisable.
Sorry

EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

I am using Excel Report Instrument functions for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A Kumar:
Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI? It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc. Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo. It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
        void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
    switch (event)
        case EVENT_COMMIT:
            if (worksheetHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
            if (chartHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
            if (workbookHandle)
                ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
            if (applicationHandle)
                ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(applicationHandle);
            QuitUserInterface (0);
            break;

R3 job completion trigger a process chain to run on BW

Hello,
I was wondering how I can trigger a process chain to run on BW 3.5 after a SM37 job completes on R3?
I have been searching the forums and the web, but I haven't found what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Pramod,
I would need a more detailed suggestion to implement, but thanks for starting the discussion.
I thought it would be as easy as this
1. Create an event in BW
2. Have a process chain that starts when that event is raised.
Having implemented and successfully tested steps 1 and 2, the rest should be simple (I was able to raise the event on BW locally and the chain did run as expected)
3. On R3, create a small ABAP program that calls the BP_EVENT_RAISED Function Module on R3.
4. Pass that Function Module the following parameters
A. My BW system name, and
B. The event name that I created on my BW system
5. Add that ABAP program to the end of the job on R3.
It doesn't work though! The event i created on BW, doesn't seem to exist from R3's perspective. I was hoping it was as easy as that. Hopefully I am missing something simple, but so far R3 does not want to cause the event on BW to be raised.
Thanks,
Nick

Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain. But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time. Does anybody knows the answer?
And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain. If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...". There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time. If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once?
As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job. These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed. You also have control over frequency. These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain. BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked. All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_... If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains. Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains.
Does this help?
Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64). If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

WSUS process is still running/ hanging up

I made an inexperienced mistake.
Things that I have done include:
I have changed synchronization to manual from Auto.
I went to automatic approvals and unchecked WSUS updates to automatically approve updates for the WSUS product itself.
I went to Update files and languages and chose the "Do not store files locally; computers install from Microsoft Update"
I did the following three items above within the WSUS console in options.
After the issue occured my monitoring agent provided me with the following:
Description: The program mmc.exe version 6.0.6002.18005 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available,
check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 2c38 Start Time: 01cc2b5582d3395e Termination Time: 0
Now when I try to turn on the three options I unchecked, the snapin hangs up and says the WSUS process is still running. Its been three days. This issue is still occuring and I am unable to synchronize successfully, or even get into the snapin.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I changed "store update on local" and now I can't make any changes on settings. It keeps saying "cannot save configuration because server is still processing a previous configuration change".
Yep. It means exactly what it says. It's all about understanding the implication of changes to be made before making those changes.
You choose NOT to have a local content store and now the WSUS server needs to process each and every approved update to determine whether there's a file to be removed from the filesystem and/or whether there's a EULA to be kept. This process has been known
to run for DAYS on some servers depending on the number of total updates, number of approved updates, number of groups, and available resources on the server.
Your only option is to WAIT for the process to complete.

friend
sqlldr is an application residing in the OS. procedure runs in the dbms engine.
you cannot run an os command directly from a procedure or a function or a package .
If you want to do so you need to use either a daemon process created by a PRO*C program
or a JAVA stored procedure to do so.
just refer to previous question forums, you can find the solution. Somebody has already given a solution using
java to run an OS command . check it out

OID is up & running but "ldap" process are not running

Hi all,
Oracle Internet Directory is up & running but LDAP processes ( Not Running ---- Process oidmon
Not Running ---- Process oidldapd
Not Running ---- Process oidrepld
Not Running ---- Process odisrv) are not running.
I am trying to configure SSO for reverse proxy server and ran the command ssocfg.sh https proxyServerName proxyServerPort
and when i am trying to go for next step that is ldapmodify -D cn=orcladmin -w welcome1 -v -f setdasurl.ldif
it is showing up cannot connect to LDAP server. and also when i am trying to acess SSO admin Server the redirection url is showing up with 404 page not found error.
pls help me
Thanks

Do 'oidctl status' and check if the 'oidldapd' is up and running. If not, start 'oidmon' by executing the command 'oidmon start'.
To start 'oidldapd', use 'oidctl' command.
Eg: oidctl connect=<sid_name> server=oidldapd instance=<instance_num> start
Sometimes, when you start 'oidmon', the 'oidldapd' process is also started. So, its a good idea to do 'oidctl status' after 'oidmon start'

Golden gate extract and replicate process are not running.

All,
I am trying replicate data between two oracle databases using golden gate.
I am trying this scenario in a single machine(two databases and golden gate are on same windows machine)
1. I have two databases PROD, UAT both are running on 11.2 oracle home.
2. Created the ggate user both the databases, and enabled supplemental logging.
3. Ran the following scripts in both databases.
SQL> @marker_setup.sql
SQL> @ddl_setup.sql
SQL> @role_setup.sql
SQL> grant GGS_GGSUSER_ROLE to ggate;
SQL> @ddl_enable.sql
4. Connected the source database (PROD) in ggsci prompt
