Significance of description

Hi Gurus,
What is the significance of maintaining description when we create infoobjedcts ( we select short, medium or long) . how does it affect query and how it is related to infoobject length.
Thanks gurus
DV

Hi DV
Significance is that you get to know the texts of the objects. Example - Customer # and description. If we only provide Customer # which is purely a number and then users might be used to both number and description. Then in that case we need to provide both.
It gives meaning to numbers since it provides description to those numbers thus marking query result more meaningful.In query where you need to display number and texts both for an Infoobject-> You need to select Key and text display option in properties of that IO.
3 types of texts exists-
1.Short text- 0TXTSH(Short description)- CHAR 20
2.Medium text- 0TXTMD(Medium description)- CHAR 40
3.Long text - 0TXTLG(Long description)- CHAR 60

MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Experiencing Significant Slow Down After Boot Camp Installation

     Okay, so today, after installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp Assistant, I experienced significant performance slow down (fans going at full blast, applications opening after extended periods of time, keystrokes not being registered) when I returned to my OS X partition/second hard drive. I have dual hard drives, one of them being a Samsung 256 GB SSD with OS X Mavericks and the other being my original 500 GB HDD, divided into a 250 GB OS X Mavericks partition and a 250 GB Windows partition. I have the SSD set as my startup disk and I have it located in the main HDD bay. I moved the old HDD into a caddy and placed it where the optical drive normally should be.
      After multiple failed attempts to install Windows via USB and Bootcamp Assistant, I decided to reinstall my optical drive and use a Windows installation disk. This attempt proved successful, and I was able to install Windows 7 onto the 250 GB partition I had created for it on the 500 GB HDD. After completing basic setup of Windows, I removed the optical disk drive and reinstalled the SSD and the HDD into their original spots (SSD in the main HDD bay, HDD in the caddy where the optical drive normally is).
     After completing this tedious process, I booted my Mac back up using the SSD. However, I noticed something was wrong when the login screen, apps, and nearly everything else on my desktop had slowed to crawl. I decided to check my Activity Monitor to see what the problem might be. Activity Monitor told me that the task "kernel_task" was taking up anywhere from 200-600% of my CPU, which explained the slowdown in performance. I looked around to see if there were others with the same problem as me, and I found that Spotlight Indexing might be an issue, with a potential remedy being move my Bootcamp Partition into the Privacy section of Spotlight under System Preferences. After doing that, I experienced no increase in performance and everything was still going very slowly.
     The next step I took was to see if booting into Safe Mode would help the issue. After booting into Safe Mode on my SSD, I noticed that things were back to their normal speeds, with applications opening at the speed they should be and keystrokes being registered instantaneously. However, the fans were still going and had not shut off once booting into Safe Mode. In addition, I checked Activity Monitor and the "kernel_task" in question was no longer taking up massive amounts of the CPU.
     At this point, I don't know what to do and I need help in restoring my Mac to original speeds. I may end up deleting my Boot Camp partition as a last measure if all else fails, seeing as I installed Windows in the first place for running a few programs and games that I can live without. However, I'd prefer to not have things come to that and fix things before deleting the Boot Camp Partition. I've heard that if everything runs normally in Safe Mode, then the issue is third-party software. Is this true?
     Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am writing this from the MacBook in question in Safe Mode because it's essentially useless in normal SSD operation.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

Display of IPTC description during mouse-over in filmstrip

Windows XP SP3, LR3
When you move your mouse over an image in the film strip, you get a temporary popup showing the IPTC title and description fields from the image.
Unless I have missed something, this behavior can not be changed.
This can be a problem when the description field is VERY long. It can cover up a significant portion of the screen and can be very annoying.
I have a number of pictures where I have a VERY long narative about that particular picture. It is annoying as I move over these images in the filmstrip and see huge popups momentarly appear.
There should be some way to either disable this feature, or at least limit the amount of description field that is shown.

Thank you! I should have thought of that myself. Now that I think about it, I knew that what was displayed there was controlled by what you have set in View options.

ESE - Event Log Warning: 906 - A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file...

Hello -
We have 3 x EX2010 SP3 RU5 nodes in a cross-site DAG.
Multi-role servers with 18 GB RAM [increased from 16 GB in an attempt to clear this warning without success].
We run nightly backups on both nodes at the Primary Site.
Node 1 backup covers all mailbox databases [active & passive].
Node 2 backup covers the Public Folders database.
The backups for each database are timed so they do not overlap.
During each backup we get several of these event log warnings:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        ESE

Description:
Information Store (5012) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation.
See help link for complete details of possible causes.
Resident cache has fallen by 42523 buffers (or 27%) in the last 903 seconds.
Current Total Percent Resident: 26% (110122 of 421303 buffers)
We've rescheduled the backups and the warning message occurences just move with the backup schedules.
We're not aware of perceived end-user performance degradation, overnight backups in this time zone coincide with the business day for mailbox users in SEA.
I raised a call with the Microsoft Enterprise Support folks, they had a look at BPA output and from their diagnostics tool. We have enough RAM and no major issues detected.
They suggested McAfee AV could be the root of our problems, but we have v8.8 with EX2010 exceptions configured.
Backup software is Asigra V12.2 with latest hotfixes.
We're trying to clear up these warnings as they're throwing SCOM alerts and making a mess of availability reporting.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance

Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

Where can I find a description of changes introduced in rev 29.0?

UI has changed significantly. I'd like to see a description of changes rather than having to figure them out on my own.

Which can be found on say mozilla.org under the green Firefox download button where it says [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/notes/ What’s New].

It is worth checking the actual size of the shared pool e.g.
select pool,sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 from v$sgastat group by pool;
the parameters you ahve posted suggest you have set a minimum but no maximum, so it could very large.
Next up is looking for unhared SQL i.e.
select column1 from some_table where column2='A_VALUE';
select column1 from some_table where column2='Another_Value';
where the code should be using binds instead of literals for security and performance reasons, a simple way to find this is to look in v$sql for sql having the same plan_hash_value but different sql_Ids and compare the sql_fulltext of each statement.
Also a possibility is sql with many child cursors, this is trickier as the cause may vary and may not be easy to fix. check th econtents of v$sql for sql that have high values in the child_number column anmd investigate the contents of v$sql_shared_cursor for the reason there are multiple child cursors.

Need to display variable descriptive text in a report

Does anyone know of a way to display the descriptive text for user entry variables in Crystal Reports? I've tried a couple of methods in the past (a subreport going against master data and building an array of text valued from the data) but each has method has some significant drawbacks. How are customers dealing with this right now? I have been encouraging them to be satisfied with the technical names, but that doesn't go over very well.

Look like no one had any thoughts. I'll just close this one down for now.

SCOM reports "A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation"

This was discussed here, with no resolution

I have the same issue. This is a single-purpose physical mailbox server with 320 users and 72GB of RAM. That should be plenty. I've checked and there are no manual settings for the database cache. There are no other problems with
the server, nothing reported in the logs, except for the aforementioned error (see below).
The server is sluggish. A reboot will clear up the problem temporarily. The only processes using any significant amount of memory are store.exe (using 53GB), regsvc (using 5) and W3 and Monitoringhost.exe using 1 GB each. Does anyone have
any ideas on this?

Brian,
We had this event log entry as well which SCOM picked up on, and 10 seconds before it the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange updated all of its engines.
We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU3 with no file system antivirus (the boxes are restricted and have UAC turned on as mitigations). We are running the servers primarily as Hub Transport servers with 16GB of RAM, but they do have the mailbox role installed
for the sole purpose of serving as our public folder servers.
So we theroized the STORE process was just grabbing a ton of RAM, and occasionally it was told to dump the memory so the other processes could grab some - thus generating the alert. Up until last night we thought nothing of it, but ~25 seconds after the
cache flush to paging file, we got the following alert:

So it seems as if the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange inadvertently trigger the cache flush which didn't appear to happen quick or thuroughly enough for the transport service to do what it needed to do, so it freaked out and performed the subsequent
actions.
Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this 906 warning, which cascaded into a transport service outage?

Automatic VI description

Since I'm involved in some big projects I wonder if there is an option to automatically add some previously set description in a new VI created in LV? Assume I want to avoid adding my signature and other repeatable significant info in each VI added to project. This seems to be an easy feature but I haven't discovered something like that before.

You can create a VI template.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/creating_vi_templates/
Scripting is not strictly neccesary to update the VI description. You can use basic functions to load a VI into memory, modify the Description by way of a property node, and then save the VI.

ReportViewer 11.0 component in remote mode - drilldown leads to significant increase of drilldown column width

Description
Hello guys,
I have a problem with drilldown function in my reports with ReportViewer 11 component from version 10.0 to 11.0 in my simple ASP.NET 4.0 application, using ReportViewer in remote rendering mode.
The report design is based on multiple row groups, which should be opened one level after another (like hierarchy tree). It's a simple table without group headers, calculating summary of related orders value.
If I open some row group (drill down) via clicking onto a "+" sign in any data row other than first from the top, the column width becomes too big(like twice the original row width) causing the whole row width to increase significantly. If I do the same drilldown in the first data row in the tablix, the row(and all columns) preserves it's original width (is OK).
The report works fine when launched directly from the SSRS Report Server interface but the column widths are HUGE when run with Report Viewer 11.
I'm using latest reportviewer DLL files (all are version 11.0.3452.0)
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.DataVisualization.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Could you please fix the problem or suggest to me what can I do to overcome this problem?
These reports are for a large corporate client and need to be delivered quickly and look good.Thank you in advance,Joe
Joe Colorado

Hi Joe,
As you have mentioned that the drilldown report works fine in the report server but have the size issue in the reportviewer 11.0.
Please test to see if the other drilldown report will have the issue about the column width increase too much, please also test on the reportviewer10.0 (VS2010) to see if you will got the same issue.
If the reportviewer 10.0 is ok, please try to use it as an workaround and it seems like a bug and you can ask Product group here directly.
http://connect.microsoft.com/
Or you can log a service ticket to microsoft to work on it. If finally the ticket is indeed a bug, the ticket will not be charged.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Is anyone else significantly disappointed with Apple TV?

I bought it on the basis that I could stream TV from my iPad - various 'on demand' services in the UK allow you to watch it on your ipad but don't allow it to be broadcast to another device. Whilst I appreciate that suppliers of 'on demand' services could allow 'mirroring' I am significantly disappointed with Apple because they know that they only provide mirroring of Apple products (this is far from clear on any of the product descriptions), but most significantly they do not provide equivalent Applications for the Apple TV (probably because they only way that anyone can watch those programmes is to buy them through the Apple store!).

That is incorrect, mirroring is available for all content. It is the developers of said apps that can choose to block it (there are only a few who have though).
Basic airplay is different as it is strictly for audio/video streams, but the developer has to enable the video for it to pass through.
The blockage can be due to licensing but you would have to contact those providers for an official answer.
Native apps require an agreement from both parties, there could be any number of reasons for them not being available.
In any case, ranting is not permitted here. If you have a technical issue that needs assistance then someone can help with that.

Significance of STAT field in JEST table

In one of my report I need to extract the status of a equipment from JEST table, the field is STAT. Incidentally the table contains other two fields INACT and CHGNR.
I am not getting the meaning and significance of each of the fields in this JEST table. Can anyone tell me the significance of this STAT field and its possible set of values.
Please help me. It is a bit urgent.
Thanks in advance.

If you need to extract the status of a particular object, you can try using FM: STATUS_READ with the object number and 'X' for Only Active.
Coming to your question, Field INACT of table JEST identifies whether the status is currently active or inactive. Field CHGNR determines the sequence in which the status'es are changed.
Possible set of values determines on the Status Profile which is configurable and differs from System to System.
Check in table TJ30 with the status profile to know the various status'es defined for the profile. For their descriptions you can check table: TJ30T or alternatively you can try view V_TJ30T.
So for your sequence i would advice:
1. Execute FM: STATUS_OBJECT_READ with Object Number to retreive the status profile.
2. Execute FM: STATUS_READ to extract the active status of the object.
3. Extract the description of the status from table TJ30T with the status profile and status.
Hope that helps.

OIM manipulating provisioning - description on resource profile

Kamaraden!
I have an OIM installation with AD and Exchange connectors. When users are provisioned, going back to the resource profile, you can see the resource and several data, for example the Description field. For AD User, descriptions shows the windows logon name (what I think it is correct), and for Exchange, it shows a number (probably a key of some table). Trying to discover from where this description field is taken, I realized that it comes from the ORC table, ORC_TOS_INSTANCE_KEY (if I change it, it changes in the description of the resource profile too).
I have many questions about this. First of all, who puts this value in this field of the ORC table. I followed the provisioning tasks for AD and Exghange (Create User and Create Mailbox), and got inside the code (I decompiled it with cavaj), but the logic of the adapters attached to that process task and the code in the java classes, only creates efectively the user or the mailbox, and returns.. so, when the resource profile is being modified?
Other question related to that, is where are the conventions of the process tasks names for provisioning? For example, FIELD Updated reacts over the event of modification of FIELD. Create User sounds logic for provisioning when a resource is granted on an application, but Create Mailbox? How is this task attached with the provisioning submit of a resource?
DrLDAP

You are right, the number that you see in the description field in the resource profile is the ORC KEY. If you need to change this to show any value in the process form, you can do so by going to the provisioning workflow form in the design console and click of Map Descriptive field.
I dont think it has been documented anywhere about the field name<space updated> task.
The name Create User or Create Mailbox has no significance. you can really keep any name for the task. The way OIM understands that it needs to execute this task is if it sees the task is marked as "Required for Completion". all tasks marked required for completion will be executed by oim before it can say that provisioning has been completed. For e.g i a provisioning process all you might need to do is send a mail and not create any account etc.
then you have a task "Send mail" (or any name) mark the task as required for completion. Now when this resource is granted by the admin to the user, this task would have executed. The name is not of essence when it comes to provisioning.

Profile Parameters - Definition and Description

I am looking for a complete list of profile parameters and their functions.
I have been able to generate a list through the RSPARAM. however there is quite a significant amount of the parameters that are not described and their usage seems quite elusive as a Google of some of these parameter does not return any results.
I have been able to place together some of the descriptions and values through certain documentation and feature articles, however I am far from completely understanding most of the parameters. I would be most grateful if anyone could point the way to any resources that could help me out in this matter.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Anshara,
I don't know where you could check the meaning of all possible parameters, all at once.
However, you can access the transaction RZ11, type the parameter name, hit "display" and then hit "documentation". This should work for most of the parameters, and it will explain what the parameter does, including syntax and possible values.
For the parameters that are not documented on RZ11, you can try to find SAP notes describing them.
Regards,
Isaias
