Rendering in fcp 7 takes long time

When I export to compressor, even after rendering, it will take about 13 or so hours to process a 150 min video. I'm running Lion on a MacBook Pro. Any ideas how to shorten the time?

The tag line on your first post says you're working on an iMac. And the second post infers you're working with 1080i HDV footage. If both these assumptions are true, then you need to do a couple of things to keep your sanity.
First, you need to convert all future projects to ProRes 422 as a first step. This will make things render and output faster. HDV imposes a serious "tax" on the processors during playback and (in my limited experience) takes about 5-7X as long to render and output. onverting on the front end is the only way that makes sense.
Second, do not export using compressor unless the minor improvement in quality is worth the incredibly long export times. Just output the timeline using the current settings to get an "intermediate" clip (that is no longer HDV) that you can then send to Compressor to downconvert and transcode to MPEG-2 for your DVD.
Even the above procedure will be painfully slow for this project unless you have a really hopped-up iMac... but when you get to using ProRes it'll be better.
Good luck!

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

It's because the PowerMac G5 had HUGE bandwidth with a fat BUS on each processsor so they could run hard, hot and heavy.
It's not so with the Intel processors which are multi-core and share a common bus thus bottleneck.
The newer Intel processors can do more work on the CPU, but when it comes to in/out they are s-l-o-w.
I've had a wickedly fast dual processor (not dual core) G5, RAID 0 pair of 10,000 RPM drives as boot and a fast video card, I could do a lot very very fast.
You'll likely have to upgrade to Final Cut X to get more cores utilized, prepare to cry a little bit, Apple is working on the features they stripped out of it to make amends to pro users who complained loudly. (all over TV too)

MDX report rendering takes long time and showing Conflict Message

Hi All,
This is my MDX Query
with member
[Measures].[Rent] as
IIF(IsEmpty([Measures].[Budget]),
NULL, [Measures].[Rent])
select {[Measures].[Rent]}
on columns,
[Property].[Address].[All].children *
DESCENDANTS([Account].[Account Hierarchy].[Account Group].[Expenditures],
[Account].[Account Tree].[Account]) *
[Property].[Property].[All].children
on rows
from
[Master]
When i comment [Property] Dimension member , i am able to get the result, but i need Property Dimension in MDX.
Can anyone give some idea ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jarugulalaks,
According to your description, it take long time to render the report when using [Property] dimension, right?
In this case, the issue can be caused by that there are too many members under this dimension. In your query, you used CrossJoin function to join multiple dimensions which might cause the performance issue. If you cross-join medium-sized or large-sized sets
(e.g., sets that contain more than 100 items each), you can end up with a result set that contains many thousands of items—enough to seriously impair performance. You can use the NonEmptyCrossjoin function instead of Corssjoin function. For the detail
information, please see:
http://sqlmag.com/data-access/cross-join-performance
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144797.aspx
Besides, the total time to generate a reporting server report can be divided into 3 elements: Time to retrieve the data (TimeDataRetrieval); Time to process the report (TimeProcessing); Time to render the report (TimeRendering). For the detail information,
please refer to the link below to see Charlie's reply.

It takes long time to load the parameter's value when running we run report

Hi,
It takes long time to load the parameter's value when running we run report. What could cause this? How to troubleshoot the behavior of the report? Could I use Profile and what events should i select?
Thanks

Hi jori5,
Based on my understanding, after changing the parameter, the report render very slow, right?
In Reporting Service, the total time to generate a report include TimeDataRetreval, TimeProcessing and TimeRendering. To analyze which section take much time, we can check the table Executionlog3 in the ReportServer database. For more information, please
refer to this article:
More tips to improve performance of SSRS reports.
In your scenario, since you mention the query spends less time, the delay might happens during report processing and report rendering section. So you should check Executionlog3 to check which section costs most of time, then you can refer to this article
to optimize your report:
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

BPM Process chain takes long time to process

We have BI7, Netweaver 2004s on Oracle and SUN Solaris
There is a process chain (BPM) which pulls data from the CRM system into BW. The scheduled time to run this chain is 0034 hrs. This chain should ideally complete before / around 0830 Hrs. <b>Now the problem is that every alternate day this chain behaves normally and gets completed well before 0830 hrs but every alternate day this chain fails</b> there are almost 40 chains running daily. Some are event triggered (dependent with each other) or some run in parallel. In this, (BPM) process chain, usually there are 5 requests with 3 Delta and 2 full uploads (Master Data). The delta uploads finishes in 30 minutes without any issues with very few record transfers. The first full upload is from 0034 hrs to approximately 0130 hrs and the 2nd upload is from 0130 hrs to 0230 hrs. Now if the 1st upload gets delayed then the people who are initiating these chains, stop the 2nd full upload and continue it after all the process chains are completed. Now this entire BPM process chain sometimes takes 17 -18 hrs to complete!!!!!
No other loads in CRM or BW when these process chains are running
CRM has background jobs to push IDOCS to BW which run every 2 minutes which runs successfully
Yesterday this chain got completed successfully (well within stipulated time) with over 33,00,000 records transferred but sometimes it has failed to transfer even 12,00,000 records!!
Attaching a zip file, please refer the 21 to 26 Analysis screen shot.doc from the zip file
Within the zip file, attaching Normal timings of daily process chains.xls the name explains it.
Also within the zip file refer BPM Infoprovider and data source screen shot.doc please refer this file as the infopackage (page 2) which was used in the process chain is not displayed later on in page number 6 BUT CHAIN GOT SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED
We have analyzed:--
1)     The PSA data for BPM process chain for past few days
2)     The info providers for BPM process chain for past few days
3)     The ODS entries for BPM process chain for past few days
4)     The point of failure of BPM process chain for past few days
5)     The overall performance of all the process chains for past few days
6)     The number of requests in BW for this process chain
7)     The load on CRM system for past few days when this process chain ran on BW system
As per our analysis, there are couple of things which can be fixed in the BW system:--
1)     The partner agreement (transaction WE20) defined for the partner LS/BP3CLNT475 mentions both message types RSSEND and RSINFO: -- collect IDOCs and pack size = 1 Since the pack size = 1 will generate 1 TRFC call per IDOC, it should be changed to 10 so that less number of TRFCs will be generated thus less overhead for the BW server resulting in the increase in performance
2)     In the definition of destination for the concerned RFC in BW (SM59), the Technical Setting tab says the Load balancing option = No. We are planning to make it Yes
But we believe that though these changes will bring some increase in performance, this is not the root cause of the abnormal behavior of this chain as this chain runs successfully on every alternate day with approximately the same amount of load in it.
I was not able to attach the many screen shots or the info which I had gathered during my analysis. Please advice how do I attach these files

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.

The Application Takes long time to Start

Hello All,
We ar eon Unix->64 Bit-> Essbase 11.1.1.3.
Problem Description : The application is taking long to start up. around 5 to 6 minutes. This is very first time it is happening.
There were no specific changes done to the application in the recent releases.
I have tried all options 1. Compacating outline, 2. Purging the application log etc. all other applications respond good on this host except this. Usually any application should not take more than 1 to 2 minutes to start up.
There are no specific errors or XCP files recorded in the logs and folders.
Appreciate your suggestions
MS

Thanks Jitendra and Prabhas,
I know i have posted this thread sometime back and later I had to jump on a New release, so did not get time to check your inputs.
Well I am back on this issue again. I have been working on various option to get this issues solved " start of App takes long time"
Here are some Details. We are on SunOs 64 Bit, has 12CU with dual core, with Essbase 11.1.1.3 running on it. This is an ASO application and has just 7 dimensions, Out of which the ORGANIZATION Dimension is pretty huge with Multiple Hierarchies enabled ( Both Stored and Dynamic ) and has more than 20,00,000 members including the alternate hierarchies ( Shared members)
I did a smoke test by building dimension by dimension the app was startiung up in just *40* seconds. and when i reached the ORG dimension and added more than 70,000 memebrs . there i fall sick. the app now gets back to its old issue ( Takes more than 10 mainutes to start).
CPU Usage ranges between 3.1 % to 4 %
PID USER NLWP PRI NI VSZ RSS S STIME ELAPSED %CPU COMMAND
4424 user1 1 59 20 1608 1032 S 18:13:33 00:00 0.0 grep COMMAND

But My question here is, in the last moth cube i still similar number of members in the cube and nothing really had changed.

MVIEW refresh takes long time

Materialized view takes long time to refresh but when i tried select & insert into table it's very fast.
i executed SQL and it takes ust 1min ( total rows is 447 )
but while i refresh the MVIEW it takes 1.5 hrs ( total rows is 447 )
MVIEW configration :-
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW EVAL.EVALSEARCH_PRV_LWC
TABLESPACE EVAL_T_S_01
NOCACHE
NOLOGGING
NOCOMPRESS
NOPARALLEL

A MV refresh does that and also writes database data.
These are not the same thing and cannot be directly compared.
So instead of pointing at the SELECT execution time and asking why the MV refresh is not as fast, look instead WHAT the refresh is doing and HOW it is doing that.
Is the execution plan sane? What events are the top ones for the MV refresh? What are the wait states that contributes most to the processing time of the refresh?
You cannot use the SELECT statement's execution time as a direct comparison metric. The work done by the refresh is more than the work done by the SELECT. You need to determine exactly what work is done by the refresh and whether that work is done in a reasonable time, and how other sessions are impacting the refresh (it could very well be blocked by another session).

Takes Long time for Data Loading.

Hi All,
Good Morning.. I am new to SDN.
Currently i am using the datasource 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H and it contains 225 fields. Currently i am using around 40 fields in my report.
Can i hide the remaining fields in the datasource level itself (TCODE : RSA6)
Currently data loading takes more time to load the data from PSA to ODS (ODS 1).
And also right now i am pulling some data from another ODS(ODS 2)(LookUP). It takes long time to update the data in Active data table of the ODS.
Can you please suggest how to improve the performance of dataloading on this Case.
Thanks & Regards,
Siva.

Hi....
Yes...u can hide..........just Check the hide box for those fields.......R u in BI 7.0 or BW...........whatever ........is the no of records is huge?
If so u can split the records and execute............I mean use the same IP...........just execute it with different selections.........
Check in ST04............is there are any locks or lockwaits..........if so...........Go to SM37 >> Check whether any Long running job is there or not.........then check whether that job is progressing or not............double click on the Job >> From the Job details copy the PID..............go to ST04 .....expand the node............and check whether u r able to find that PID there or not.........
Also check System log in SM21............and shortdumps in ST04........
Now to improve performance...........u can try to increase the virtual memory or servers.........if possiblr........it will increase the number of work process..........since if many jobs run at a time .then there will be no free Work prrocesses to proceed........

The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

Hi experts,
The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
I have checked the note 382329,
-> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
-> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
   PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
Please suggest.

The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
Thanks Hope this helps ..

Database Connectivity takes long time if one of the Node is down .. ??

Hello All,
Env: 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10
I have 2 nodes.
When Node1 server is down, it takes long time to connec to the database.
tnsping would give "OK(2050ms)". Below is the tnsalias.
RAC_test =
(DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.123)(PORT= 1521))
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.127)(PORT= 1521))
     (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
          (CONNECT_DATA =
        (SERVICE_NAME = DK.com)
      (FAILOVER_MODE =
        (TYPE = SELECT)
        (METHOD = BASIC)
        (RETRIES = 180)
        (DELAY = 5)
)I put the trace on sqlnet.ora and found that first it pings to the "20.268.169.123",
since the Server is down there will not be any reply and this consumes the delay and
later it would ping "20.268.169.127" and connect to it.
If i keep "20.268.169.127" above "20.268.169.123" in tnsalias, and keep "LOAD_BALANCE=no",
it gets connected very fast, as its directly connecting to Node2. In tnsping i get Ok(40ms).
How do i reduce the connect timing if i use the first step. Why does it take long time for
Oracle Client to understand that the Node1 Server is down ?
TIA,
J J

I hope the IP's you are using in the TNS are Virtual IP's.
You must use Virtual IP's / hostnames for the failover to be quick. If Node 1 is not available then then it's (Node 1's) virtual IP would also get assigned to Node 2 hence all client connections are still able to get a response from the Node Virtual IP address without needing to wait for TCP/IP timeouts. This helps clients to get notified immediately that node 1 is unavailable and the connection tries the 2nd ip/host in the connect descriptor.
Hope this helps.

SSRS 2012. ReportServer takes long time to be up.

SSRS 2012 Sp1
Hi guys,
I am using SSRS as my reporting platform, but I have always got the following issue.
SSRS ReportServer takes time to load.
The first time takes long, then less time but only if the ReprotServer web page is continuosly retrived.
HERE the problem:
If the ReprotServer page is not used after a short time (let me say 10 min), the page takes long time to be up again.
I have checked the configuration that is set as for default 12 hours.
Is there a way to speed up the ReportServer opening page time?
Thanks for your help

Hi Fasttrack2,
According to your description, you want to optimize the performance of your report. Right?
In this scenario, when your report page is not active for a short time, it will take long time to render again. This is because the you have the report timeout. You can select "Do not timeout report" in Processing. Please refer to the link below:
SQL Server Reporting Services – Timeout Settings
For the performance issue, it can be many reason cause the report running slowly. Please refer to the articles below to optimize the report:
