Slow performance on activating BW elements

Hi all.
We have very slow performance in our BW system when activating infoObjects, infoCubes, tranformations... Problems are centered in db access to table D010TAB, D010INC...
We followed recomendations as in note 1232776      Long runtimes for accesses to D010INC or D010TAB, but we do not get any performance improvement.
Table D010TAB has more than 20 million rows. Is there any way to reduce this table size?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Nacho

Thanks Suman.
We already built indexes but it does not improve system performance.
Indexes on D010TAB are bigger than the database table.
Best regards,
Nacho

  • Slow performance disk activity

    My mac has slowed to almost a stop.
    I hear lots of disk activity and when reviewing activity monitor I see lots of disk activity.
    About 100 reads and writes a second
    Any ideas of how to find out what is happening?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    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.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
    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?
    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.
    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.

  • Slow performance from Premiere Elements 10

    Hi guys,
    I recently purchased Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 10 to edit some wedding video.  I am experiencing some slow performance with the software (and random lockups for that matter).  My CPU usage shows nearly nil when using the program and with IE with multiple tabs open at the moment and the Premiere Elements open, I am showing that I still have about 5GB of RAM free.  However, I am still getting some slow performance from the software with random lockups.  The video came from a sony HDR-CX700V camera, it is all 1080P video and there is about 3 hours worth of footage added to my current project.  I imported the footage by just dragging and dropping the video folder contents into the "Project" tab within the program.
    An example of the slow performance I get is this.  I added a Title card to start before the video.  When I hit play to see how it looks, the preview screen shows nothing, but you can see the time scrolling, then the video suddenly starts, but the video is really choppy.  I also had a heck of a time just adding that title card, as when I did it the program crashed once and locked up a couple of times.  Any ideas how I can fix this?  What other information would you need to help me further troubleshoot the problem?
    My system is has an i7-720 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX260M with the latest driver from NVIDIA. 
    TIA guys!

  • Recent upgrade, slow performance, shown in Activity Monitor

    I have been experiencing gradually slowing performance in the last couple of weeks, the only thing I have done a couple months ago is upgrade to Leopard, though the timing does not indicate it's this precisely.
    It is most noticeable in Safari and PS CS3 and Bridge, the programs I mostly use.
    In Activity Monitor, when this occurs there are a couple of offending processes, and they are always hanging when the slowing phases happen. They say, in red:
    UserEventAgent (not responding)
    and/or
    coreaudioid (not responding)
    Does anyone know what this might be? How I can correct whatever this is?
    thx

    That thread indicates the cause points to various plug-ins primarily from Pro Tools. I do have PT installed, and I have now uninstalled it. We'll see if things improve. Otherwise I don't know how to isolate the cause, for example another random plug-in, so the thread was of limited value. Good start though, thanks.
    Pro Tools LE 7.x is apparently not yet compatible with Leopard, joy.

  • CS5 or Pc  Slow performance?

    Hi there,I have a problem with my pc at work and because I am not quite sure in which one is exactly the problem I decide to ask you.The pc is intel pentium 4 with 3 Gb Ram  XP professional service pack 3 Photoshop CS 5.
    The pc is connected to server(data base).When I open a bunch of photos (20-30) approximately 8 - 12 MB each one and sometimes I experience a slow performance(for example I am trying to retouch/clone something and it takes a lot of time for the pc to redraw/respond) the interesting part is that it doesn't happen always(sometimes can be even 3 photos and it will take ages to do something) also I notice that after appr. 20 minutes it's suddenly start to work as it should normally(it's like there was an update and when is updated/complete everything is fine).When that start to happen today I restart CS5 and load the same photos and it work fine, so it is really bizarre for me.I put a 89% ram usage to the CS5(I pretty much use only all the time Photoshop and bridge )   also made the history steps to 7 and the cache to 6 for big and flat files.I was checking the Efficiency and it's all the time 100 % so it's like it's not the photoshop but like I said today i just restard the ps and upload the same photos and got fix...I tried to copy the photos on my hard drive(so it should not be affect of the performance of the server but still the same as when I take them straight from the server.Because the hard drive is only 80 gb ( I don't store anything there )   i did clean up and disk defragment still  the same situation.Do you know what can be the problem and is it the Photoshop or the Pc?I'll appreciate it.
    Thank you  

    Could be that your PC is sometimes looking to check things on the server, and maybe the server or network is busy/bogged down and you PC gets caught in that cycle mess.....so,
    suggest next time you use Ps, set win performance monitor perfmon.exe or perfmon.msc ; setup to view graph of disk use and network activity and cpu usage.....then you may see/track a problem area.
    on win7, task manager does most of the same stuff

  • Slow Performance when program was once 100% proficient

    I am working on a 2011 Macbook Pro - OS X version 10.9.5
    For over a year I have been working in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on this computer with no issues.  Recently the program began running EXTREMELY slow - for example., taking well over an hour to render video that previously would render in only a minute or two.  Went to Apple - thinking it was my MAC - diagnostics on the MAC show the computer itself is fine.
    Purchased Premiere Elements 13 (liked the new features and offerings) and was naively hoping it would fix my slow performance issue. 
    But program is still running horribly slow.
    Any suggestions or similar issues?

    laurabodey
    Premiere Elements 11 or 13 on Mac Computer.
    Which program do you want to troubleshoot first?
    Let us assume Premiere Elements 11....
    1. Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk
    Where are the Scratch Disk pointing and how much free space is at that location
    Please assure a clean up of any pile ups of any preview files (Adobe Premiere Elements Previews File Folder), conformed audio files (Media Cache Files Folder), and conformed audio (best cleaned out through Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database area Clean button.
    2. Download, install, and run the free ccleaner.
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac
    3. How much installed RAM does you computer have? Are your source media stored on external hard drive (with the appropriate formatting for Mac)?
    4. Does the information in online articles such as the following make any impact on your situation?
    Seven ways to free up drive space | Macworld
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    I am strictly and Elements Windows user who tries to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to address some of these issue. So, I am
    not all that great on Mac locations. Please help me translate from Windows to Mac if necessary.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • Slow performance on Intel Mac a damaged disk?

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing very slow performance on my Intel Mac 216 Ghz core duo, with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Running OS 10.6.8. Have been experiencing reduced performance, can't use Entourage email or Chrome, Firefox browsers at the same time. Ran Utilities to repair permissions, only a Java set of issues. Disk Utilities found no problems with the disk.  Have experienced this issue increasingly for 5-6 months. Using Activity Window i see that Entourage, Word, Safari, Chrome, even System Preferences pane sometimes "Is not responding". Other system services take longer than before.
    Apple support had me get larger RAM chip. Now have 2GB Ram. Upgraded to OS 10.6.8 with no improvement. Ran Software Update several times.
    I have no anti virus software, have disabled Spotlight and any other memory demanding software. I'm on a in-home wi-fi network on an Airport Extreme.
    In addition, at startup it takes 15+ seconds for the keyboard (wired) typing to show in the log on field. Running a single account with Admin access. Screen refreshes slow at times. Currently running is Safe Boot mode but that's not helping much.
    Read on this board discussion 23238910 to use Terminal Window to do a syslog comand. The results in the Text Edit reads

  • Powerbook painfully slow performance

    Recently my powerbook has been running unusably slow. Here's a timeline:
    - Noticed slow opening of applications, saving, switching from application to application, browsing folders through finder.
    - Computer kept freezing after 1-10 minutes of use.
    - Checked RAM in system profiler - 1GB RAM showing 512 MB.
    - Removed RAM and restarted (new RAM being sent to me at present).
    - Freezing problem stopped. Slow performance improved for 2-5 minutes after startup but after 10 minutes, back to same old slow usage.
    - Checked hard drive, repaired permissions, did macjanitor cleanup.
    - Hardware check from startup DVD showed no problems. SMART check OK'd hard drive.
    - Archive and re-install tiger and updated to 10.4.9.
    - Activity monitor shows %CPU usage as fairly normal. Kernel_task is using about 720MB of virtual memory under very light/no user usage.
    - Created a new user and performance normal in new user, leading me to believe that the problem is related to user library and possibly preferences.
    - Put preferences folder on desktop and started putting my preferences back into user library folder bit by bit, restarting and testing. The performance would be better each time but hard to test as I have to wait at least 10 mins to test each time - time consuming business.
    Is there any way to narrow down which preference file is causing the problem without painstakingly re-adding preference files one by one to the user library folder, waiting 10 mins and testing?
    Otherwise, could the diagnosis above be due to something else all together. Been through the discussions and can't get anything to work so far. The RAM was the cause of the freezing problem, but seems to have brought on the slowness problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks Graeme.

    Graeme:
    If you have not done so recently run Unix Maintenance (CRON cleaning). Download and install MacJanitor and run all tests.
    Dr. Smoke's FAQ Tuning Mac OS X Performance has some hints you may find helpful.
    Regualar maintenance also helps performance. Take a look at the following articles:
    Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

  • Sudden extreme slow performance

    I have run Tiger on this machine for about 6 months with no problems. In the last few weeks everything has started slowing down noticably. The hard disk is running ragged, constantly reading/writing, from looking at the cpu monitor it seems like the computer is not actually using it's ram and is just reading and writing. I tried clearing caches and that worked for a few hours but the machine now seems to lock up after a few hours use. I get to the point where i cannot open menus, switch programs, or even force quit or restart. Everything locks up - spinning beachball - and the hard disk is left constantly writing. I have 9 -15Gb free out of 40Gb on the disk - i assume this is enough. Playing music and safari is no problem. But I am using iphoto and photoshop as well as other programs in the background. This was never previously a problem and ran smoothly. I know it's fairly vague but if anyone can help..

    Hi, Ben.
    Thanks. However, it would help to see some of the specific data points from the instructions in those FAQs. Specifically:
    1. You wrote: "(the pageins/outs are about equal) but i'm getting REALLY slow performance across the board. "It still sounds like it is "thrashing."1.1. Did you check the pagesin/pageouts per second as described in my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ? The per-second values can only be found using top as described therein.
    1.2. Did you check for a runaway process in Activity Monitor per the "Troubleshooting" section in my "Tuning Mac OS X Performance" FAQ?.
    The activity you describe (beach ball, heavy disk writing) has to be coming from somewhere, so checking Activity Monitor as I describe in that FAQ should tell you. Find the process consuming the most %CPU as instructed in the FAQ. Post back the result, i.e. the process name.2. You wrote: "It seems to lock itself up with the hard disk clicking and crunching. Is it possible the hard disk is giving up and so is writing at a very slow speed??? "To check this, see my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ:2.1. Perform at least Steps 1-3 of the Procedure section therein in the order specified.
    2.2. Also, review the section therein on "Bad Sectors" to see if the "clicking and crunching" sounds you are hearing are similar to those that generally indicate bad sectors.3. If the disk checks out OK per point 2 above, and depending on what you find in point 1.2 above, the process may be an errant Startup or Login Item. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
    Good luck!

  • Slow video playback in Photoshop Elements 11

    Playback of videos directly in Photoshop Elements Organizer is very slow. Video is stuttering.
    Playing the same video outside of PSE11 with Windows Media Player is much better. Video plays without any stuttering.
    Looks like the internal video player of PSE11 is very poor and provides slow performance.
    What can I do do have the same video performance with the PSE11 player as I have with WMP.
    I use Windows 7 64 Bit (8 GB RAM) with a Intel Core i3 (2330). This CPU has enough power to playback HD or Full-HD videos without any stuttering!!!
    Why can't the internal play of PSE11 Organizer play my videos without stuttering - like WMP 12.0.7601.18150 does?
    Regards,
    Dodson65

    The videos I use are created with different devices.
    I have HD videos taken with a Pentax DSLR and I have Full-HD videos taken with a Windows Phone 8 device.
    Both playback on my Laptop without any stottering with different software. I checked WMP and VLC. Even when using my Laptop with energy-saving profile these videos can be played without stottering.
    When I playback the videos in PSE11 Organizer I don't want to edit them - just playback. So why should the internal player behave different? I agree with you - this might be different when I playback the videos in Premiere Elements 11 (as this is a video editing software). But when using Photoshop Elements 11 I want to be able to playback videos in the same performance as I can do with WMP or VLC. If Photoshop Elements 11 can't do that - why? The organizer of PSE11 is not an editor. It should be able to playback videos the same way (with the same performance) as other players on my laptop.
    Can you please explain this sentence: "Have you started a Premiere Elements project yet that uses this video's specs? This will often trigger Premiere Elements to download the necessary components for interpretting the video." Is there anything I can do to improve video playback performance?

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup

    every minute or so the computer blocks, every 3 or 4 hours I have to restart etc.
    any suggestions?

    ok, stopped syncing in System preferences and even (horror) deleted the file which reappeared in seconds.
    now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement

  • Slow performance after installation of new OS-X

    I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing the same problem as me, but it seemed to occur after I installed the new OS-X.
    My MacBook Pro has gone stremely slow and it seems to be related to MAIL. I thought that the standard MAIL program that comes with MAC was the problem, so I installed Postbox and that seemed to work for a while (1 day or 2) and then it was the same. It's not just email programs that are slow, but all programs.
    Click and wait seconds (10, 20, 30 sec) just for a program to open. Moving between files is so slow. I feel like I'm using Windows again.
    I'm no expert, but when I look at MEMORY usage, out of 4GB I'm using 3.8GB. My Virtual Memory is 4.76GB. See screen shot below.
    I would apprecaite if anyone can help me resolve what the problem is.
    Thanks
    Richard Giuliano

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    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. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, 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 View menu or 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 Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    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 by pressing the key combinationcommand-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.

  • Slow performance in browser and OS -- EtreCheck Included

    Hello all, I'll keep this as short and detailed as possible.
    I bought a Macbook Pro for my wife two years ago, but the machine has been very slow since I got it for her.  I've always been a Windows guy myself and am very familiar with troubleshooting in a Windows environment.  I have almost no experience with OSX, however, and have no idea which applications would be needed for troubleshooting, etc.
    As my wife describes the issue, the OS itself is very slow.  She opens the laptop and a full twelve minutes pass before the system is fully responsive.  She has to keep pressing the power button for anything to work.  The screen will be greyed out and a loading bar will appear at the bottom.  It takes so long to load that the system falls asleep and she has to restart multiple times.
    I have noted that the browser is also slow.  My wife uses Safari almost all the time.  I installed Chrome to see how a fresh browser install would perform in OSX, and the speed was very slow as well.  An internet speed test at speedtest.net results in:
    Ping - 47ms
    Down Speed - 5.96 Mbps
    Up Speed - .89 Mbps
    Included below is the result from an Etrecheck run
    Problem description:

    Thank you very much for any assistance

    If the machine has always taken 12 minutes to start up, since it came out of the box, then it was and is defective. There's nothing to do in that case but to take it in for service.
