Release Management performance - Each step takes over a minute to complete

We have set up a Release Management pipeline using vNext Release Templates with PS/DSC. We noticed that every release step takes about 1:47m to complete, whereas the actual tasks that are performed within each step (i.e. copying the component and executing
the PowerShell script) take only a few seconds. We tested this by copying files and executing PowerShell scripts outside of Release Management.
One of our deployments took about half an hour to complete (and should have taken only a few minutes). (I wanted to include a screenshot but got "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." when trying to
submit this question.)
We also tested this with a minimal component, containing only one file (one PowerShell script), but even then the deployment took about 1:47m.
Can you tell us what the reason is for this delay? What should be done in order to speed up this process?

Hi Frank,
Does this Release Management performance isssue occurred when you use it at first time? Do you have any setting on your TFS? Would you please tell us your TFS version? 
If you have any repro steps, please share with us, thank you. 
Best Regards,
Dear Molly,
Yes, this issue has occurred right from the beginning when we started using Release Management.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "do you have any setting on your TFS"? As far as I know, our TFS installation is a straightforward and normal one.
Our TFS version is TFS 2013.
The steps to reproduce (in the simplest scenario) are as follows:
Create a new project in Visual Studio 2013, containing one PowerShell script file. In the script file, perform a simple command such as "New-Item E:\Temp3 -itemtype directory -force".
Perform a successful build of the project, making sure that the script file is copied to the drop folder.
Create a vNext Component in the Release Management Client, that refers to the directory in the drop folder that contains the script file.
Create a new vNext Release Template in the Release Management Client, containing one "Deploying using PS/DSC" action. In that action, set the PSScriptPath to the script file we created.
Perform a new Release using the Release Template we just created. The Deploy action will take a long time, even though the script itself takes less than a second to run.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

  • After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up

    I updated iTunes to 10.6.3.25 a couple of days ago to the latest version, and now it takes over 30 minutes to load.  I click the iTunes icon on my desktop and get the mouse spinner for about 2 seconds, then it disappears.  During that time, I can see in task manager that iTunes.exe using the about 25% of my CPU (i3 550) and over 100,000k of my 8GB of RAM.  After it finally loads, I plug in my iPod and iTunes gives no indication that it sees it at all.  Windows sees it, but iTunes doesn't.  My question is, what can I do to fix this?  I've already went into programs & features and went to changes and hit repair on each of the apple programs I have on my computer and that changed nothing, and I also tried this.
    tl;dr iTunes takes forever to load and iPod doesn't show up in iTunes

    UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

  • SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

    SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow.  The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes.  I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2.  We installed the most recent patches and
    service packs.  Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem.  However I don't see any answers either.

    Hi Kim Sharp,
    According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
    of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
    Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ 
    If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
    Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2  view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
    After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
    use ReportServer
    SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
    TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
    TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
    ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
    FROM ExecutionLog2
    ORDER BY Timestart DESC
    Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

  • JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start

    Hi,
    I have windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK 1.7. My jDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start, even the previous versions took similar long time. I have McAfee running on my system and have 8 GB RAM and more than 100 GB HDD on my C drive. I tried playing with the tuning parameters as mentioned in few blogs, but nothing seems to help.
    Please help.

    Indeed, McAfee caches what it has previously scanned. I've had different versions of McAfee where this has been, and hasen't been a problem.
    It's pretty easy to tell on Windows if McAfee is the culprit. Open the Task Manager and watch is McAfee active (consuming CPU) during the whole process of opening JDev.
    If so you're going to have to work with your IT department to get exemptions for JDev put in place if it is.

  • Opening an Excel file takes over a minute

    Anyone else notice that it takes forever to open an Excel file? I know Numbers has to import it, but it takes over a minute on a Mac Pro?
    I really don't want to install Excel on my machine.

    Bryan,
    How large is the file? If you will be frequently opening and working with large Excel files, you may as well accept that you need Office or NeoOffice or OpenOffice on your Mac. Many of us came to Numbers to escape the grip of MS, but you have to do what makes the most sense. Remember that you can still use Numbers for non-collaborative work.

  • WebAccess takes over 5 minutes to start servicing

    Everytime the GW8 Linux server is reboot, WebAccess would take over 5 minutes to begin its service.
    Further examining the logs found this on /var/log/apache/error_log when the server starts running after a reboot:
    [Wed Jul 23 09:56:32 2014] [error] (111)Connection refused: proxy: AJP: attempt
    to connect to 127.0.0.1:8009 (localhost) failed

    end: localhost
    [Wed Jul 23 09:56:33 2014] [error] proxy: AJP: disabled connection for (localhos
    t)
    The above pattern keeps repeating everytime a connection comes... and automagically disappears after a while... WebAccess then starts running...
    Any clues???

  • IWeb takes over 10 minutes to load

    When I try to load iWeb it take over 10 minutes to load. Anyone else have this problem? Can I stop it from loading iPhoto along side >?

    Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Launch iWeb and see if you can add photos from iPhoto now. What iWeb uses to see the photos in iPhoto is the AlbumData.xml file that is created in the iPhoto Library package. If the above doesn't work try the following:
    1 - close iPhoto.
    2 - go to your Pictures folder, select your library package and open it as shown in this screenshot:
    Click to view full size
    3 - locate the AlbumData.xml and AlbumData2.xml file and move them to the desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto which will recreate those files.
    5 - launch iWeb and try again.
    A last suggestion is to reapply the iLife Media Browser Update and the iLife Support 9.0.3 update.

  • HT204150 Can I either remove all contacts from the iCloud or have the contacts on my phone override the contacts in the iCloud. I need to remove 50+ contacts from the cloud that keep resyncing to my phone. It takes over a minute to remove each contact man

    Is there a way to remove all of my contacts from the iCloud? My phone has my correct contacts list. When I sync with iCloud it pulls down 50+ contacts that I do not want. I went to iCloud to remove the unwanted contacts and it takes nearly 1 minute for each one. Another soluntion would be to make my phone contacts override my iCloud contacts?

    Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
    Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
    Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

  • Why does it take over 2 minutes to get a database connection from the DataSource?

    Hello,
    It is taking over 2 minutes for my application to get a connection from a registered DataSource in iAS 6.0 sp4 on Solaris. The proper results are returned it just takes 2 minutes to establish the connection. The DataSource is an Oracle 9i database. I have the 9i drivers in the classpath. I also have a registered datasource that is an Oracle 8 database and have no problems establishing a connection quickly to that database. As an aside I have setup this application on JBOSS and both datasource's return a connection very quickly. If anyone has any ideas about what might be going on please respond. This issue is holding up a production release.
    Here is the code:
    try {
    log.debug("getting a new initial context");
    ctx = new InitialContext();
    ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(bundle.getString("IW_DATASOURCE"));
    log.debug("after looking up datasource from initial context");
    } catch (NamingException e) {
    log.error(e);
    throw new FinstarException
    (bundle.getString("E-0001"));
    try {
    log.debug("about to get connection");
    conn = ds.getConnection();
    log.debug("after getting connection");
    Produces this in the logs:
    2002-05-29 08:55:12,859 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - about to get connection
    2002-05-29 08:57:24,963 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - after getting connection
    Here is the datasource registration file:
    <ias-resource>
    <resource>
    <jndi-name>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</jndi-name>
    <jdbc>
    <database-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.org:1521:acisdb</database-url>

    Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
    Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

  • MAC OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2 Any new window opening takes over a minute to happen. Once open all is fine. New tabs open immediately. Only on new windows is there this delay. This only happens on FF, not on Sarari, Chrome, Opera. - stevehorn@websentia.us

    Opening FF for the first time and when any additional, new window is opened, it takes over 60 seconds for the window to appear. This happens after reboot and repair permissions in Disc Utilities on reboot (from installation disc). Once window appears, all works fine. New tabs appear instantly. New, added windows still take the 60+ seconds to appear even with current window remaining open. No other browsers or applications behave this way.

    Not sure if this is exactly the same as the other reported problems.
    But creating a new (via command N or via menu selection) window creates a long thin nearly zero width but full height window. Selecting the window via the window menu and zooming brings it up at full size.
    I tried turning off all add-ons and things seemed to work but then stopped working again (sorry can't find a consistent set of symptoms here).

  • Mac takes over a minute to connect to Wifi

    Hi there,
    This has only just started happening over the past 2 weeks, on bootup it takes around a minute for it to search for any wifi networks and then eventually connects to it.
    I have an iMac 27 inch Mid 2010 with an SSD installed so bootup takes around 10-15 secs and then wait a minute for it to pick any wifi up.
    I have 10.9.2 installed, not sure if installing 10.9.2 has broke it somehow. Sure I seen a post somewhere about deleting a file but I cannot remember where :-(
    Hopefully someone will of had the same issue or can assist in some way!
    Thanks so much!

    Do any of these suggestions help?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 - takes over 4 minutes to load - hangs on "Scanning for plug-ins..."

    Since mid-February 2014, having problems with both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS4 extended (v 11.0.2) - both take around 4 minutes to load, when previously they loaded very quickly.
    In Photoshop CS4 there is no activity on-screen for 2 minutes, then it hangs on the start up screen for another two minutes on "Scanning for plug-ins." Similar issue with Elements 10.
    I am running on Windows 8.1, 64-bit. I also have Lightroom 5.4 installed.

  • Retina MBP takes over a minute to start up

    Just received my rMBP over a week ago and started to notice slow boot up times of over a minute ehich seems too long for an rMBP with flash architecture.
    I've already tried the following:
    Removed all unwanted login items
    Chose correct drive in Startup Disc
    Reset PRAM and SMC
    Reinstalled ML(not a clean install)
    My shutdowns are quick(2-10sec range) but can't figure out what's causing the sloooow start up. After pressing the power button and get the gray screen and Apple logo, the spinning wheel shows up. I timed it at about 1min 5sec until the wallpaper and menus show up.
    What is causing this and is there a way to get the super quick start up times other people are getting without having to do a clean install of ML?

    No external devices connected to my rMBP.
    @Shooitst007: I ordered 16gb of RAM so it had to be custom made and sent to me from China. I don't really want to wait another 2-3 weeks to get a new rMBP. Plus I bought Apple Care just in case. My last option before turning it in to Apple would be to wipe the SSD and do a clean install of ML.
