Sp crawl db size
our Crawl Database Size is growing rapidly and drive is having only 17 GB ramaining...what is side effect of it.
Is there will be any impact since drive is shrinking rapidly...how much must be available for crawl db?
Check this link. will help you.

Hi everyone.
I've been trying to learn how to make a web crawler in java following this detailed albeit old tutorial: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/Crawling-the-Web-with-Java/
The SearchCrawler class they feature can be found in two parts:
First part: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/Crawling-the-Web-with-Java/3/
Second part: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/Crawling-the-Web-with-Java/4/
I don't want to copy and paste the code because it is really long and an eyesore if viewing here.
I get a lot of errors when compiling of which I do not understand. The majority of the errors (62 of them to be precise) are "class, interface or enum expected" errors, with the remaining few being "illegal start of type" and "<identifier> expected" errors.
Can someone here perhaps take a look at it and compile it and see if they also get the same errors? I realise it is an old tutorial but there are hardly any detailed resources I can find for java web crawlers.
Thanks.Odd I can't seem to log into my account. Never mind.
I have used java before, the problem here I suppose is I'm not good enough to spot what's the problem. The code seems fine bracket wise and it has really left me stumped.
If someone code put it in their editor and attempt to compile and see if I'm not the only one that's having a problem.. that would be much appreciated.

MacBook Pro Slowed to a CRAWL after less then a week....
Hello All,
I'm new to Mac. I just got a MacBook Pro last week.
Well, for some reason it has slowed to a crawl....
The dock show/hide and magnify isn't working either. Neither is the "active screen corners" feature on the dashboard. In addition to that, the system does not highlight menu items and show the submenus.
Also when starting applications they take forever to load.
It's acting like it has no ram even though it has 2 gigs and a 2.16 processor. The ram is showing up in the "About this MAC" screen though.
I've tried turning off all startup login items. Nothing is being loaded into memory. I've also tried running the disk utility.... still having the same problems.
I'm new to Mac so perhaps I'm missing something completely obvious.
What would you all suggest is going on, and what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)James:
I suspect Wizard's problems resulted from too many widgets and possibly some not quite compatible software. Slowdown can result from lack of free physical RAM, so that Virtual Memory swap files on disk have to be frequently accessed. I don't think he mentioned how much RAM is installed. His symptoms go beyond mere slowdown, however, so I would suspect other software problems as well.
Cutting way back on widgets together with restarting can work wonders sometimes.
OS X handles file fragmentation pretty well, for file sizes up to about 20 MB. It's probably not necessary to run defrag on a Mac unless one wants to clean up a large space for video work. I don't have defrag software. I'd rather wipe the drive (maybe once a year) and reload from a backup drive. I do swear by DiskWarrior, however, and hope they release an Intel version soon. DW does a great job of correcting disk and file errors and optimizes the directory.
Apple has been packing a lot of changes into OS incremental upgrades. To interpret that as comparable to Windows Service Packs probably isn't very accurate. Yes, some bugs are fixed but there have been steady upgrades of core features. Security fixes are often included as well. But I've experienced no stability problems whatever.
Some users recommend using Combo updates instead of using Software Update. I've always used Software Update and have never had a problem. The important thing, either way, is to make certain the operating system and disk directory are 'clean' and trouble-free before and after the update.
I've never had to do an OS reinstall except once, when I was tinkering with System files and slipped up. Routine preventive maintenance works. -
Greetings.
I just exported a 5-minute sequence from HDV 1080i to H.264 (not with Compressor). The .mov file when played back has problems. The images sometime move clumsily across the screen. The crawl portions, which contain English text in Helvetica font size 23, move at times erratically from right to left. The scrolling credits at the end also appear to jump or flicker at times.
Are there pre-sets for crawl or scroll text: special fonts, speed, use of Motion or output modes?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
TomAre you streaming it from a external HDD?

Macbook Pro running slow/(crawling) after 10.9.4 update
I paste in information on the system from EtreCheck below.
The Macbook is really crawling very slowly.
It may be a coincidence, but happened when I restarted after the latest software update 1st july from OSX 10.9.3 to OSX 10.9.4
Regarding How does it behave/How slow:?
Now, every task that may require the use of resources not recently used (menus, lists etc.) will take exceedingly long time. For example after the desktop appears with the top menu, it will take 3-4 min before any menus can be pulled down, same with dock, 3-4 min to show up. Clicking an app, 3-4 min before launches. Then after launched, some apps may run OK, for example Logic Pro.
When working in the Finder. Opening a folder may take 3-4 min, before the the file list shows. Then selecting a file - takes a minute before it gets hi-lighted. But is then fast to drag to an open folder on the backup drive. Copying a folder to a backup drive, is also fast.
Another example: It took two hours from logging in at this Forum, until getting here to post.!! (I'll read answers from another machine)
What I have done:
I have backed up with Time Machine,, in addition to manually backing up files.
I have ran Disk Utility and it reports the hard disk is OK. I have ran fix permission, only two were fixed. No difference.
I have reset the System Management Controller (SMC). No difference.
It is not a network problem, My network is fast and smooth with other devices,
I don't want to change hard drive 'just in case'. It fast to restore files from the backup. However
I have many licences apps and contents which will take several weeks to restore. I've done that before.
Is it likely that it is the hard disk that is failing without disk utility having a clue?

You ask some (5) questions regarding the output of Etrecheck
Re #4 :"Have you tried uninstalling the fastestyoutubedownloader.com user launch agent, in case that’s causing a problem?"
Yes, now I have. Now it takes 40 min. from powerup to the login screen.!
My system report showed as I posted, before the removal:
"User Launch Agents:
[failed] com.fastestyoutubedownloader.TrialExpired.GoldFreeFirstWeek.plist"
I am ignorant about the matter. I too was surprised to find that item and the conspiracy deamon on my left shoulder had wild thoughts.
The app that generated the Launch Agent must have been FastestYouTubeDownloader.app,
It was downloaded as an app and no uninstaller. I think it was supposed to run fast the first week, and if you paid for it(upgrade license), it would remain fast or else work slowly. I tried it on one file and then threw it in the trash, as I would have no more use for it. But a nagging/promo dialog telling me the trial period was over came up 1st july, while the nagging came up I was notified (by appstore) that a new update of my system required a restart. I pressed that, my system was updated to 10.9.4 and after the update everything was slow. So the conspiracy deamon was whispering that maybe the app had made everything slow, by mistake, and not just the FastestYouTubeDownloader.
I really don't think so.
But I think the developers have to leave a mark somewhere to tell them that I have tried the software and maybe they have chosen the User Launch Agent for this? Then trying to remove it may just cause more problems, since it is not anything I should be able to do for obvious reasons.
I couldnt see what it was really doing from its content, it seems to me it should do nothing if the application was not found.
Re # 1 and #2
I have had these drivers all the time and not experienced problems with earlier versions of Mavericks.
Also, the ZOOM and the GR-55 is not connected.
Both had at least their own kernel-extension, a launch agent and a preference panel, but possibly more.
But I have now tried the Uninstaller that accompanies the GR-55 driver to remove it. It gave no improvements.
Re # 5
I have apperently two Flash Players, both have the same version number, one is outdated.?
Probably not good, but probably not my main problem(s).? I'm not using Flash often.
Re # 3
I have no idea, what the following listing
Launch Agents:
[invalid] entries
may refer to. In my HD/Library/LaunchAgents folder I only have
"com.zoom.R16DeviceManager.plist" the other entry in the report with same file name with added extension ".svn-base" I have no idea where is coming from.
I think this is not my primary problem though? even if I am curious where it comes from.
My Conclusions
Obviously with a boot time of more than 45 min doing diagosics and tests takes long time.
The Disk Utility verifies the disk as OK. Onyx verifies the disk as OK (mabe the same test?).
I think my maachine is just getting worse. There must be a serious problem, not just a fine tuning issue.
The conspiracy deamon on my other sholder tells me that Apple have decided its time for me to buy a new computer again :-) ,It would have been a good idea if not for the pain of reinstalling licensed software which will require a 2 week vacaition doing nothing but restoring, Possibly having to purchase new licences costing more than the computer. -
How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?
To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers. For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it.
I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw, which seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s). No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer". I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier.
Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's. Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached. Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes, I am a printer capable of doing this....". (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution? Is there an existing product I can use? Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers? Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
Thanks!Macropanther wrote:

Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.
I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw
You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it. -
Photoshop CS2 slowed to a crawl.
I'm using CS2 on a G4 Dual 500 with 1gb RAM. I'm running OSX 10.4.11 & Photoshop is my main tool so I have many years experience using it.
I'm currenly working on a file that's about 500mb & the "scratch sizes" box says 2.12gb.
As far as I'm concerned this is a fairly familiar situation that I've encountered many times before.
However, today my machine has slowed to a crawl. It's taking about 15 seconds PER BRUSH STROKE to clone around an image & I can't figure out why.
I recently bought a 500gb SATA hard drive with a PCI controller card & installed a fresh system on it. (I did however use the option to copy the original hard drive over to the new drive so it wasn't a completely fresh install. I've also recently trashed the CS1 apps that CS2 left sitting on my hard drive but I couldn't see how to do a proper uninstall so I just trashed the apps. from the apps. folder.)
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I'm at my wits end, staring a tight deadline in the face with a seemingly inexplicable problem that's come out of nowhere.
Any ideas?Del,

While I'm not doubting your statements, the numbers in boldface are certainly not working in your favor. 16 bit files only compound the issue.
I would be surprised if your computer did
not choke under these circumstances.

When I full crawl my MOSS 2007 site, it is Intializing my site repeatedly!
Hi everyone
I'm using Moss 2007. When I did full crawl, it put out lots of logs. I read one of the logs and found that several strange parts on them.
It sounds like ...
1. It is initializing security for my subsite repeatedly.
2. Cache is full
3. My FileSharedLibrary allows no one to read items.
1. It is initializing security for my subsite repeatedly.
I don't know why it is initializing my subsite again and again. I believe this made the logs so large...
Here is the log.
Init security for site "MyItem'sURL" - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:842
Init Group GROUPNAME123 Id 7 - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:3086
New User USERNAME123 Id 1 - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:1073
New User USERNAME456 Id 13 - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:1073
2. Cache is full
Also I think the log says the cache is full. But I have no idea this cache problem and the initializing problem are effecting each other or not.
Remove V3 Cache, reason = oversize, committed 649506816 - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:127
Remove V3 cache - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.cxx Line:76
V3 Cache statistics: committed=649506816, UserCatalogCaches=1 - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3util.hxx Line:172
3. My FileSharedLibrary access control allows no one to read items.
Thirdly, I got this error many times. (FileSharedLibrary is the feature of DocAve)
I searched "hr=80041211" and found MicroSoft said "Item will not be indexed. Its access control list allows no one to read the item. Used in GetSecurityDescriptor method of the IUrlAccessor interface.
CSTS3Accessor::GetItemSecurityDescriptor: Return error to caller, hr=80041211
- File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\protocols\sts3\sts3acc.cxx Line:1210
I already checked DisabledLoopBackCheck is disabled, Crawl Account have a read access of my site properly, and I'm sure we have enough free space at C and D drives.
Actually I can use my SharePoint site normally with no problem and it does not show any error on my site. But I really need to know the reason why this three points are happening...in order to avoid a huge-size log gives damage to server when I full
crawl next time...
Hope someone could help me to solve this problemsThank you Jaggi
I think this is the almost same page that i checked already and mensioned in my question
"hr=80041211" and found MicroSoft said "Item will not be indexed. Its access control list allows no one to read the item. Used in GetSecurityDescriptor method of the IUrlAccessor interface.
Do you think my problem is really because of anything Access control problem..? -
HUGE file size in InDesign CS5
Help! Deadline fast approaching and InDesign now down to a crawl. It's definitely InDesign... it's open while I'm typing this and I can see the letters here appear as I type. In InDesign, it's like being back in the dark ages... type way ahead and wait for the display to catch up, and it doesn't even get all the way. I've resorted to typing in Notepad and copy/pasting in to try to speed things up a bit.
I'm a relatively new InDesign user, so apologies if there is a simple answer...
My file was getting large in terms of number of pages and because of the anchored frames issue (another post), I split it into several files and put it in a book. At least that way the knock on effect of having something NOT anchored was manageable.
Yesterday and now today, the program got progressively slower. Using 70%+ of memory (4GB of it!)
Something feels very wrong to me...
The first file in the book is 4 pages long. It consists of a title page, an automatically generated ToC, a whole-page frame with a border and a whole-page frame without a border. Apart from the title page, it's ALL text. On the title page and the master page I have (linked, I believe - they show up in the links pane) two images. The one on the front cover is only 115KB anyway, and the one on the master page, in the footer, is 82KB.
This file is 13,776KB in size. What's going on? The whole BOOK before was slightly less than 12MB, and although I've added a bit more content, nothing new has gone into these four pages. The total for the whole book now (NOT INCLUDING IMAGES) is just over 35MB.
I had installed a trial of CS 5.5 to see if that was going to be any good for an ePub project I'm about to start, but until recently I hadn't noticed any problems with it. I've just uninstalled it and am about to do a repair of InDesign CS5 to see if that helps.
For the technically minded:
PC running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit,
Intel i5 CPU (3.84GHz)
Two graphics cards running three monitors (been like this since got the PC last December).
I'm going to struggle to meet the deadline at this rate, and am starting to panic :-(
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestionsYou're a star. I'd already done the switching off the page thumbnails and reducing page performance. I hadn't thought about cross-references! That's certainly a possibility.
I've just done the "Save As" twice - and that first file is down to 1,100 KB - which is a huge reduction from it's previous size! It's still growing already though - just updating the numbers in the book has taken it from 800 KB up to the new 1,100 without me doing anything else (not even opening it myself). Track Changes is (I believe) switched off ... in Edit > Preferences, unless there's somewhere else...
Shoudl have thought of the Save As as well - used to have to do that with Word docs a few versions ago (not so much now).
Thanks again.

Crawl Log Error: "The filename or extension is too long."
Hello All,
I get this error for some files on my SharePoint 2010 error log. The fix suggested
here does not work as its for earlier versions of sharepoint 2010. I have verified the files in question have a title lenght of 120 characters and Name(Link) with character lenght of 71.
Whats weird is sharepoint indexes some similarly named files but exempts the other. These files are basically the same just named different as they belong to different users.
Any help?It could be because of this also:
Assume that a custom list in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 site or in a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 site contains a multiline text column. If the data size of the custom column is more than 100 kilobytes (KB), only the first 100 KB of the data
is indexed when you perform a crawl on the SharePoint site. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
The filename or extension is too long.

Is there a limit to .pdf file size or page count?
Just to confirm what Bill said —
I have several 'boxes' that I use each day.
They range from the typical, adequate, lower price point to a high end 'power-box'.
I have occasion to combine a large PDF document collection into a single PDF having a foot print of just under 800Mb (page count out around 2,000).
When using the 'typical, adequate, lower price point' box this large PDF can only be consumed at a crawl.
Bottom line is that the typical box has less RAM, resources, and integrated graphics rather than a adequately robust independent graphics card.
These boxes just do not provide the 'logistical' support to applications (Adobe Reader, Acrobat, whatever) that render PDFs with the very high file size foot print.
Particularly so if the PDF contains a good dose of graphics.
For the most part I've found that end-users seriously avoid such PDFs.
Be well...

"Wrong Size" in and Unavilable Pulldowns in LR Prints in PS
I have successfully printed in LR before but this time I'm running into weird problems. I tried printing an A3 size print (11.7 x 16.5) Landscape in LR, set the paper size to A3 (Retain Size, Maximum). I noticed that the cell size in LR read 11.92 for the Height even though the paper itself is only 11.7.
I tried printing anyway, my Epson Stylus 4800 Pro started its printing routine but then stopped and gave me a dialog box saying the paper size was wrong. I changed the cell Height to 11.5 and the same thing happened. Refuses to print because paper size is wrong, which it says on my Epson's screen.
Also, when I was setting up the job and pulled down the menu to ensure that Color Management was off, that choice was lined-out along with Paper Config, Roll Paper Option, and Expansion. When I selected one of those, a dialog popped up saying that Seiko/Epson didn't include these options in the software. I know that's not true because I've used them before.
So I sent the file to Edit in PS, sized the photo, and printed it out with no problem. The items which were lined-out were not lined-out in PS.
I'm got Mac Pro, 10.5.6 OS, and my Epson Stylus Pro 4800. And as I said, I've successfully printed other sizes before in LR.
Has anyone had this happen to them and/or do you have any idea what is going on?Your suggestion of switching to 32 bit solved the pulldown items being lined-out. Also now can print without the dialog box telling me that the size is too large.
However, now that I've added a number of changes with the Adjustment Brush, LR has slowed down to an unacceptably slow crawl. When I've tried using the Graduated Filter tool, LR is so slow that when I try to move or rotate the gradient I can't reliably see the adjustment for so long that I can't reliably use it.
I'm using a Mac Pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad- Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. I've read postings here regarding similar slowness issues with LR, but is what I'm experiencing "normal" for this release of LR? If so, it is a sad commentary on the quality of the product. -
Crawl perfect in FCE4, jittery on export
Hi-
I'm creating crawls over Hi Res photos in FCE4 that are smooth in my Canvas but when I export them to .mov there's a slight jitter. I've tried just about every export parameter and still no change. I've also tried viewing the export in Quicktime Player, VLC and even tried burning to a DVD with Toast. All exhibit the same problem.
Thanks for the help!
Some Specs:
Mac Mini 10.5.8
Processor: 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Creating project in 1440 x 1080
Creating crawl in Live Type, then tried Boris plug inThe jitter in the lettering is due to the interlaced nature of the video. It generally does not appear in the Canvas but does in the finished video.
There's not much you can do about it in FCE other than use a larger font size, and even that is not going to completely eliminate it.
In Boris Title Crawl there is a control called 1:2:1 Deflicker - try checking it and it may help decrease the amount of jitter, but it will not eliminate it. -
