Slow moving Macpro. Is memory the issue?
So I 4GBs of memory and cannot understand why the MacPro is running so slow. Especially opening programs, Apple Mail, or Safari. I went into activity monitor and here is what was listed under memory:
FREE: 2.32 GB
WIRED: 606.60 MB
ACTIVE: 662.61 MB
INACTIVE: 456.16 MB
USED: 1.68 GB
When VMWare is being used for Winblows, the free memory goes down to about 600 MB.
So, what do you think is the problem? I really do not want to do archive and install. I don't want the possibility of loosing anything in this computer. Since I use FileVault, Time Capsule restore would not work either.
What are my options?
I don't see anything out of line with the statistics you've provided. Now it's more of a mystery.
The first thing I'd do is to create another user account for testing purposes. Log into the new account and see if Safari and other slow programs launch and act the same way as in your normal user account.
I'd also recommend downloading FireFox:
http://download.cnet.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10208569.html?tag=mncol - to see if it works better. FireFox is not embedded in the OS, and takes a few more seconds to launch, but runs very well. It's a good program to have on hand anyway to check some pages that don't work well with Safari, there are a few
There are more things that can be tested, but we need to know if the problems you are having are in the OS or User account before those possibilities should be considered. I could (and have) write a whole plan of attack, and see it become useless because the first test fixed or identified the nature of the problem.

Slow Moving Items in 0IC_MC01 Performance issue
Hi i am creating slow moving items report (Report which shows materials for which no transaction has been done for last 3 years) on MP 0IC_MC01 in BI7.0.
MP is based on cube 0IC_C03 and Infoobject 0MATERIAL .
In query i put rowcount in coloumn with Infoprovider 0material with constant selection but i dont get the option "Display values not posted" . and Issues value and Recved value .
in rows i put plant , material and material type
n put one condition values for issued and Recid = 0 .
and in filter we have calender year restriction .
But the proble is dere are around 25000 materials for each plant and its taking a lot of time to exceute for multiple plants for 1-2 years , can anyone suggest the best way for this report or how performance of this report can be improved .
Help will be appreciated .Its rather better to use infoset on 0IC_MC01 and Material than using MP. The performance issue is coming because of a join between cube and infoobject, which SAP dont suggest to use.
You ahve to use left outer join to get slow moving items.

Quirk in slow-moving articles query
hi folks,
this question is for any of you who have written "slow moving articles" queries against the multiprovider pseudo outer join of cubes and characteristics using "constant selection" and "display non posting values." i have used it quite a bit without fail; but i have encounterd a issue with the logic when i added a second characteristic infoprovider into the mix. can anyone explain whats going on and suggest a solution?
<b>Problem statement:</b>
find products at a brand level by distributor which have no sales (for a given time frame and/or territory). allow prompting for date (or date range); territory; and/or brand.
<b>95% soultion:</b>
1) the infocube has brand, distributor, territory, and date characteristics as dimensional components (as well as others, not required for this report)
2) the characteristic distributor is set as an infoprovider (and has territory as an attribute)
3) the characteristic brand is set as an infoprovider
4) the multiprovider combines the cube, distributor, and brand.
5) the query is written in a fashion similar to the example given at '03 tech ed: except there are 2 "number of records" key figures instead of 1; one restricted to the distributor infoprovider (const selection & display values not posted) and the other is restricted on the brand infoprovider (const selection & display values not posted)
<b>The Issue:</b>
it works fine if the variable for brand is left blank and after the report displays utilize the interactive report filter in the navigation block on brand to specify the targeted no-sale item. if we put the target brand in the the initial variable prompt it will show the no-sale items along with the brands that did sell as no-sales. (note: that the only difference between the 2 above scenarios is whether the target brand is requested initially in a variable or as a follow-on navigation step in the report) i know what it is doing to get erroneous results i just don't understand why, both scenarios should result in the same report. my only guess is the differences in the query caches. the examples below show the 2 scenario results.
<u>Example multiprovider data</u>:
Distr....Brand......QtySold
1001....A............10
...........B.............2
...........undefined
1002....undefined
1003....A.............0
...........undefined
1004....undefined
the above table shows the join from the multiprovider with the 2 constant selections. this works! when there are sales the brand and amount will show; also, there is an "undefined" brand for every distributor (from the constant selection) and every distributor appears for the chosen territory (from the distributor constant selct). the correct result shoud be
1002, 1003, and 1004 as they all have zero values for
brand "A"
<u>Scenario 1</u>: search for 0 sales of A, target brand "A" entered into <b>variable prompt</b>
Distr....Brand......QtySold
1001....undefined
1002....undefined
1003....undefined
1004....undefined
in this scenario, the condition gets rid of the "1001 A 10" but keeps the "1001 undefined 0" for an incorrect final result.
<u>Scenario 2</u>: search for 0 sales of A, target brand in follow on <b>navigation</b>
--->step1: initial display
Distr....Brand......QtySold
1001....A............10
...........B.............2
...........undefined
1002....undefined
1003....A.............0
...........undefined
1004....undefined
with the initial run or the query all brands from the cube's transaction display along with the added "undefined" brands from the brand constant selection.
--->step 2: filter on brand A in report.
Distr....Brand......QtySold
1002....undefined
1003....undefined
1004....undefined
when the report filter is run against the brand char in the navigation block the target brand, "A", and the "undefined" brand aggregate so the condidtion takes out the non-zeros correctly.
Any ideas?yes, i have an aggregate which takes the 250 million transactions in the cube down to 28 million. thats why we average sub minute response. without the aggregate it takes from 8 to 15 minutes.
speed really isn't the issue at this point, its just the fact that executing the report with a filter value versus executing the report without the filter value then filtering that value in the report yield 2 different results.
its like me asking you to tell me all your friends names that start with the letter G. later, i ask you to tell me all your friends names; after you do that i say oh, just tell me the ones that start with G. should be the same list n'est pas? but they are not, the first list has both friends and enemies that start with the letter G and the 2nd (2-step) list is correct. -

The definition of 'Slow Moving Items Value' is "the value of materials which have not had any consumption for a specified period of time, calculated by multiplying inventory quantity of the material by its standard cost in local currency". The amount of time is 12 months for the Inventory Quality Assessment Tool, but typically 3-6 months for BU scorecard measurements.

Depreciation of Slow Moving Materials (MRN2)
Dear all,
I'm currently analyzing the way to create a custom report formed by two sheets:
1. Report with slow moving materials and with the correspondet devaluated value
2. Repot that show the overstock of the materials
Regaring point 1, I've found transaction MRN2 and it seems ok, but there is no possibility to input the stogare location, do you know if there is a way to do it or customize it ?
Thanks and Regards,

I am at a loss. even after reading other questions and responses. After upgrading to Mt. Lion, everything on my iMac slowed down. I knew more memory would be needed, so I went from 2G to 6G. That worked for awhile, but now, about 3 weeks later, things are slowing down again. Mail is especially slow, when moving from one message to another, and also just plain typing is delayed in mail. iPhoto has had the spinning wheel issue since change to Mt. Lion, but it eventually stops and the app itself is functional, so this is just annoying as much as anything.
Any easy, simple to follow instructions would be appreciated. Is it better for a novice to take to the Genius Bar or to an approved Mac repair center in my area, rather than attempt some of the solutions I've seen offered here. And, if I do, what's the likelihood the issues will be resolvable?? Clearly, I am not the only one with this issue ...
Thanks for any help you can offer.There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top
Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
See the screenshot from my Mac here:
Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that). -
hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.
please help. this issue prevents music from syncing. I have set the sync setting to convert songs to 192kbps AAC to save space, I figure that could slow the sync
down, but it's hanging indefinitely (I've left it for 24 hours with out it completing.)
the the only music that appears on the phone are songs purchased from the iTunes Store. 95% of my collection are rips from my CDs.
thank you for any help!Yeah it's pretty sad that $1000 phone they put out you such cheap memory It causes issues, I have iPhone 6+128 GB actually this is the second brand-new one they gave me because they keep affording it trying to act like that's not the issue because they're too stupid to know how to check what memory is in each one before they give it to me when I have told them multiple times my back up runs perfectly fine on two 5s phones and a 6 64GB of course running MLC memory.
I told them it's because just like the write ups say I have 809 apps but I have not even put all my music on the phone so I'm still running 50 to 60 gigs free and it crashes and reboots itself sometimes in multitasking and more often than it does that in between multitasking I get a black screen for 1 to 2 seconds in between apps and upon start up the Apple logo screen will flicker and do weird things, One of the genius idiots asked me if I could just delete some of my apps, really that's the answer to fix the phone the customer needs to limit the amount to apps they put on their phone, why the **** get a 128 gig if you can't put on anything you want to it guess they need to start selling them saying you can only put a limited number of apps on them, it's really is a **** joke, I have over $20,000 of Apple merchandise easily and always get the new phone every year but I'm starting to reconsider my decisions in the future because this company is starting to go downhill, The reason water not recalling the phones is because they're dealing with their top-of-the-line thousand dollar phones in this case and most people don't have over two or 300 apps so they're not having as many issues, so basically they have messed up phones they just don't know it in their hands and Apple is just too **** greedy to recall the phones, they'd rather sell customer spends that only work half ***.
Stuff like this will be the downfall of their company, all the people that stay with them because as long as you don't jailbreak their stuff it normally just works without issue will be soon jumping ship if stuff like this keeps up, because I can guarantee they got me thinking now.
not that I wanted to know or should I be expected to but I even offered for them to open up my brand-new phone and just replace the memory to MLC memory which is something I shouldn't have to do with a brand-new **** phone, they should just make one with the right memory and give me a new phone, actually just don't sell customers that buy the top-of-the-line phone from you trash ones in the first place that would be a great option.
what burns me up the most is when you talk to AppleCare and Genius Bar they try to act like the issue isn't there and they're unaware of it, they say that Apple hasn't come out with any information about it, yeah that's because they don't want to recall the trash.
Apple has became nothing better than your run-of-the-mill company, android is becoming just as good as they are sad to say this since I have been an Apple fan for so long but there is no excuse for BS like this they have been looking for options to fix my phone for a month now this is not the way you should treat loyal customers, I would've been better off keeping my 5S and in the future just switching to android.
it's pretty sad that the company has no idea how to check which memory is in their **** phone and even after I offered to let them just replace the memory in my new phone by opening up my brand-new phone to replace it they have no idea how to do that either, yeah Genius Bar sure, I think that should change the name to idiot bar and Apple don't care instead of Apple care. -
When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.
Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?
I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

Slow Moving Inventory - List Material where Sales Goods issue is 1 Year
Hi Gurus,
One of my Clients is looking for a Slow Moving Inventory Report in BW where the Sales (PGI) for the Material did not happen in the last one year.
Could you please help me with the best way to accomplish this requirement?
Thanks
SriniHi,
Just try this, if it works( i think it should work) then you wont have to code for virtual KF/chars and this will also boost the performance wrt Virtual KF.....
Get your data for the last year..and Set condition where Sales = 0.
So this should filter data and you would get data where Sales = 0.
Let me know if this is working or not
Thanks

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized
