Slow finder search from clients on the xserve

Hi there!
Since nearly three weeks, we have an xserve running with an 1.5 TB XServe-Raid. Before, we copied the data from an helios-server to the XServe-Raid. Now, when conected clients using the search-option from the finder, the display of any results is very slow. It takes a long time to show the results. With the helios-server, it tooks just a few seconds, now, it tooks a few minutes. We tried to index manually (only for spotlight) but it did not work. Could anybody help us?

Helios has it's own desktop files on all shared
volumes and a special desktop server answering
network searches very fast.
Spotlight indexing doesn't work over the network (AFP
mounted volumes or not - yet).
I assume you are using AFP for mounting server
volumes on client computers?
It shouldn't be terribly slow using Apple Server AFP
server either (it is using some kind of file indexing
to find files fast from a network client).
If using SMB I would expect slow filename searching.
We use AFP for mounting the shared volumes. And it is terrible slow. There is an process called "AppleFileServer" which is running on over 180% very often. And this also slows down the connected clients.

Forms Opening is Very slow when opened from Client PC's.

All,
We are running forms application in 10.1.2.0 application server. We have a peculiar issue of slowness while opening forms from client PC's and not while opening from application server itself.
1) When opening the form from a Windows 7 PC it takes around 25 seconds
2) When opening the form from a Windows XP PC it takes around 15 seconds
3) When opening the form from the application server itself it took less than 3 seconds .
In essence all forms when opened from application server are opening very fast and when opened from client PC's it takes undue time. What might be the reason for the same, can anyone help us and we are pondering over this issue for some time. What are the files of interest to be visited for these kind of issues. We enabled tracing level 5 in JRE and could not find any thing fishy over it.
Request application server and forms experts to participate and help us to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Even if it's a generic issue you need to break it down in smaller parts to actually get a clue what's causing your problem. By now there is nothing we can rule out as the only thing we know is that it's slow on the client PC's.
Building a small dummy form as suggested by Andreas is a good starting point. If the performance is also bad for a small form with one block you can rule out that it has anything to do with forms and it's caused by e.g. your network. If the small form performs well rebuild one of your forms step by step and do tests for each step. By that you should find what's causing troubles.
What you can also take a look at are network roundtrips: You have to set the console window of your forms, and enable networkstats in your formsweb.cfg
networkStats=yesA typical cause for (unnecessary) roundtrips are e.g. calls to the synchronize built in or timers. If you are using Javabeans you should also take a look at them. If you are looking at your network traffic wireshark is your friend ;).
cheers

Hi ramarun,
In etc/host file, enter hostname and IP Address entry in client machine...
or try to access application via IP Address.
I hope it will work for you...

How do I get rid of Yahoo search from starting in the creation of a new tab?

my home page works correctly and I have removed the Yahoo tool bar from plugins/apps (can't remember which) But whenever I open a new tab it opens on this
http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110520,16934,0,19,0
I would like it to open on my home page, which firefox does on startup. But I can't find a setting in options that will allow you to dictate what first appears when opening a new tab.
I tried this solution but it didn't work
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811550?s=getting+rid+of+yahoo+search&as=s

Do you also have a search bar on your tabs bar if so, it is probably "New Tab" extension, but suggest going through all of the following.
'''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
# "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
# Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
# Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. ''(if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)''
'''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine.
* Google Search (Google search results page)<br>'''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q='''
# type in '''about:config''' into the location bar (in a new tab)
# if the warning message nonsense comes up ''uncheck'' the box '''before''' dismissing the dialog message
# '''filter on keyword'''
# right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
# '''filter on defaulturl'''
# right-click on '''browser.search.defaulturl''' ''(if it exists)''and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
# '''filter on ytff'''
# right-click on '''yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src''' ''(if it exists)'' and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension).<br
>--above used in https://support.mozilla.com/questions/850287
#If new tabs open with a Yahoo search, then in "C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox: Find the yahoo.xml file and delete it ([/questions/892957])
#If you find an extension call "New Tab" uninstall it (it is unwanted malware), this little gem came with a reinstall of "PicPick" software for me and adds a search bar to the already overcrowed tabs bar, when doing the reinstall update for PicPic do a custom install without anything relating to yahoo.

Correlating a flow from client to the VIP and from the VIP to the server

Hi,
we need to look at a flow from a client to a server that is traversing a VIP on the ACE. So, we pulled the sniffer traces between the client and the VIP and also between the VIP and the back-end server. How do we find the same flow on these sniffer traces?
Thanks.
_ greg

Hi Greg,
If ACE is just forwarding the client request the you should see the client port and IP at the backend. If ACE is doing NAT then you can try and filter on the basis of time stamps or information in HTTP header like specific client cookie but mostly when you have different front end and back end streams then time stamps are your best option. Normally during TS taking simultaneous output of "show conn" also helps in corelating front end and backend connection. You can take connection ID and see the corresponding backend stream and vice versa
show np x me-stats "-c -vvv"--->where x is NP 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 depending upon the specific connection output in show conn.

I have a similar chat application. When the user attempts to connect, instead of sending a simple string, the client sends a serialized object(xml string) with all relevant login and session information, this includes the user's IP address. Once the server
receives said information, depending on the type of TCP broadcast (a custom enumerated type) information from one user may be passed to a single user, or distributed to many users.
If it helps, here is the TCPBroadcast object I use. But in order for your server to understand it, you kind of have to build your server and client somewhat around it.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client software has VERY slow file transfers from system on the VPN, about 1/10 of non-VPN.

I'm running Win7, and with the Software only AnyConnect Security Mobility client Version 3.1.04072
I've found that copying a file from a system on the VPN runs at about 1/10 the speed of getting a file from a system that is NOT on the VPN.

first poster -
"Downloads from random internet sites are 5-10 times faster than anything from a server on the VPN."
Your corporate network may just have too little bandwidth, your taking a poor internet route between carriers (ISP's are often maxed out believe it or not), there is a speed an duplex problem or you have a bad MTU. test all of them. your pc's MTU should be 1300. MAX on all interfaces. use the setmtu.exe tool.
Jcohen - if you disable the IPS on the ASA does the slow transfer problem go away?

Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

firefox(20.0.1)
squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.

PP Master data to be collected from client at the time of implementation

what is the PP Master data to be uploaded in to SAP system at the time of implementation?
What are the PP general configuration settings for an industry with only Final Assembling (with out any in-house production)the semi finished products(from sub-contracting vendor) and some spares, in to Finished Product to be delivered to the customer in MTS ( monthly planning) scenario.

Hi Balaji,
The various PP realted master data which has to be collected are
1. BOM / Master Recipe.
2. Routing / Rate Routing.
3. Production Version.
4. Work Centre / Resource.
The configuration settings would depend on the clinet requirement.
Reward if useful.

T/X model SORTing Find/Search results from Most Current Entry

Have the Palm T/X model, and use the FIND/search function constantly.
The results always come up from the earliest (oldest) entry to the most current.
This is a major league pain-in-the-butt especially when there are tons of entries to go thru to get to the most current date.
Is there any way to sort the FIND results so that they show from most Recent entry to the oldest.
This would be a HUGE Help.
Thx!
Post relates to: Palm TX

There is a pulsing, reddish dot in the middle of the
blue light but on the hard drive itself, I don't see
any "lights" in any "menu bar".
It's at blue circle with a white Q-shaped symbol at the right end of your menu bar.
If you dare to use the terminal application (can be found in the utilities folder) you can use the following command to re-index that drive. Start Terminal and type (or paste) the following line and hit enter:
sudo mdutil -E "/Volumes/xxx/"
Replace "xxx" with the name of Your drive! If there is a space in that name type it like "/Volumes/My\ Drive/"! You will be prompted for Your admin password to proceed.

Recent OSX update affecting finder search

after the recent OSX update for ML my finder search no longer shows the origination of the file. so it will find what i am looking for but I dont know where it is on my imac.

After much messing around I have bootcamp'd Windows 7 to test my Samba share with 'the real deal' client.
Not surprisingly; the Samba share works perfectly when accessing from a Windows PC.
Is anyone at Apple listening? There really isn't any excuse for not being able to maintain your file sharing support...
btw. I came across a post at the PathFinder forum and their users are also experiencing the same problem. I downloaded a trial version of PathFinder and it also cannot successfully copy files into the Samba share. It gives an error code of -36.
I spent a little time checking to see what was going on when the copy operation failed. As described in my previous post, a message is displayed saying the copy operation cannot be completed. At this point I ssh'd into my server and had a look at the file system. The file was copied (seemingly complete) and a hidden file also existed. When I hit the ok button on the error message both files are removed from the server.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Finder Search in Mountain Lion -- broken?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion yesterday, my Finder Search does not operate the way it used to and I'm not getting the right results anymore. I have already forced Spotlight to reindex by adding the entire drive and a disk image file to Privacy, and then removing them from Privacy. Reindexing took about 45 minutes, but now it says it is done reindexing. I have these same two issues both before and after the reindex.
If I have Finder displaying the files in the disk image and type a few letters for a filename (e.g., name matches great) in the search box, Finder Search cannot find the files in the disk image even though I can plainly see they are there.
I have Finder pointing to the entire main drive. I search for name matches quiz. I get 10 results, including 3 in the RE Class folder, plus seven others. But, if I point Finder to the RE Class folder on the main drive, and do the same search, it shows me those three files (as it should), and if I click the button above the search results for "This Mac" to expand the search, it displays only those same three in the RE Class folder, and "Searching This Mac..." appears with a spinner at the bottom of Finder ... forever? About 20 minutes so far... (This used to be instantaneous.) It cannot find all the other matching files it previously showed me are in multiple locations on the main drive.
Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

Based upon my test results below, Apple Support has escalated this to the engineers for resolution. It appears that the presence of any mounted DMG file is what precipitates the problem, and the problem goes away if I close the DMG, but I can't really search in my DMG files until this gets fixed.
<quoting my test results:>
I have done more testing this morning.
I had always worked with the Finder Preference > Advanced > When performing a search = Search the Current Folder. I changed this back to Search This Mac before conducting the following tests.
My conclusion is that the presence of any open DMG is causing the problem. Other connected drives (external) don't have any bearing; they work fine.
Test 1, with no DMG open:
Pointing to the David home folder.
Search Name=Dad
          This Mac=58
          Davidn=23
          This Mac=58
          David=23
This is as expected. The counts include files from an external hard drive, together with the internal drive.
Test 2, with a DMG (Personal) open:
Pointing to the David home folder.
Search Name=Dad
          This Mac=45 (Note that this number is lower than in test 1, and it should be higher by 3 because of the files in the DMG. Expected count was 61.)
          David=23
          This Mac = <spinner> (Expected 61)
          <cancel>
Test 3, with the DMG still open:
Search Name=Dad
          This Mac = 0 (Expected 61)
          David = 23
          This Mac = <spinner> (Expected 61)
          <cancel>
At this point, I closed the DMG.
Test 4, with no DMG open:
Search Name=Dad          This Mac=58
          David=23
          This Mac=58
          David=23
This is as expected. The counts include files from an external hard drive, together with the internal drive.
In addition, the tests I conducted yesterday, where I was directly searching in the DMG, remain the same: The first time the result is correct, and after that I only get beach balls.
Note that the DMG used for this test (Personal) is only 1 MB in size, and contains only 12 items in the root -- not a lot of searching to do. I have tried to force Spotlight to reindex this file by moving it into and out of Privacy. I never notice Spotlight do anything about that, but maybe it is too small to be noticeable.

I don't have my search field anymore, only the url field. I know I can seach in it, but I want my separate search field back. How do I do that?

Not sure when it happened and I am sure it is just a setting or something, but I can't find where I get the search field back. I see it when I open the customize the tool bar, but it disappears when I close it. I want to search from Google and the URL search bar does not give me that option, only Google Maps & places.
How do I get back that separate search field?
Thanks.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Finder search "aliases" missing after Snow Leopard upgrade

I'm dealing with a crazy annoyance after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard - currently running 10.6.2
I have 2 duplicate, external, 1TB WestDig Drives. I have no problems accessing these drives from the Finder, but if I use Finder search or Smart Folders, the corresponding folders on the external drives never open on the first try. I always receive the message:
+The alias “…” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.+
On the second try, search result folders open fine and I don't seem to have any further problems with a folder once it has been opened successfully from within search.
It seems that after my Snow Leopard upgrade every search on the external drive reveals "missing" folder aliases although the "aliases" appear as regular folder icons.
I tried re-indexing Spotlight but this did not solve the problem. I also trashed my plist files for Finder and Spotlight which didn't help either.
External Drive volume info from Terminal:
+drwxrwxr-x 21 782 Mar 14 17:18 PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE+
FWIW I've found others having similar problems on the Apple forums HERE and HERE. I've tried their suggested PathFinder workaround without success.
This is driving me bonkers because it renders Smart Folders somewhat useless. Additionally, these external drives work fine on my old installation of 10.5 Leopard
Thanks for any help!

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
