Strange system behaviour

New imac 3.1 i5 27" mid 2011 model, installed 10.8.2 as soon as it was first turned on.  Only been running less than a week, and I have twice had a weird system semi-lockup.
After waking the imac from sleep, I find I cant launch any new applications, and I think any running applications cant launch new threads. For example Safari just shows the spinning beachball constantly.  I cant launch Activity monitor to see whats going on (it bounces and bounces in the dock for ages, then stops and shows as "application not responding", requiring a force quit.  Same with any other apps I try to launch. However, already running apps like MS Word can be used (edit a document, then save it).  I have istat menus running and that shows me that there is ongoing low level disk activity and processor usage just as you would expect when the OS is running properly.  Cant get the imac to restart (the restart menu nver brings up the restart screen) so the only way to solve it seems to be a hard power off.
Any ideas?  I havent had anything like this is my previous 15 years with macs.
Thanks

  • Strange system behaviour.....Collective Billing ...Pls Help

    Hi Frens,
    I am doing collective billing for almost 20 deliveries.
    Each delivery has same material as single line item with same delivering plant - No Batch item).
    During Billing, 5 line items are passed on to accounting while rest 15 line items are not passed on to accounting.
    And when I am canceling this Bill because of this reason, the canceled bill is not releasing to accounting giving system message:
    No account is specified in item 0000001055
    Message no. F5670
    Diagnosis
    No account was specified for account type "S" in item "0000001055" of the FI/CO document.
    System Response
    The Financial Accounting program cannot process the document.
    Procedure
    A system error has probably occurred in the application you called up. Check the data transferred to item "0000001055" of the FI/CO document.
    Please note that in both bills (Collective Bill & its canceled bill, Revenue account determination is perfectly fine with all G/Ls being determined.
    Can anyone help??
    Regards
    Vikas Chhabra

    "Message no. F5670"
    For this error message, possible reasons could be
    a)  Account Assignment Group of customer not flowing in sale order / delivery
    b)  Proper G/L or Account Key assignments are missing in VKOA.

  • Strange memory behaviour using the System.Collections.Hashtable in object reference

    Dear all,
    Recently I came across a strange memory behaviour when comparing the system.collections.hashtable versus de scripting.dictionary object and thought to analyse it a bit in depth. First I thought I incorrectly destroyed references to the class and
    child classes but even when properly destroying them (and even implemented a "SafeObject" with deallocate method) I kept seeing strange memory behaviour.
    Hope this will help others when facing strange memory usage BUT I dont have a solution to the problem (yet) suggestions are welcome.
    Setting:
    I have a parent class that stores data in child classes through the use of a dictionary object. I want to store many differenct items in memory and fetching or alteging them must be as efficient as possible using the dictionary ability of retrieving key
    / value pairs. When the child class (which I store in the dictionary as value) contains another dictionary object memory handeling is as expected where all used memory is release upon the objects leaving scope (or destroyed via code). When I use a system.collection.hashtable
    no memory is released at all though apears to have some internal flag that marks it as useable for another system.collection.hashtable object.
    I created a small test snippet of code to test this behaviour with (running excel from the Office Plus 2010 version) The snippet contains a module to instantiate the parent class and child classes that will contain the data. One sub will test the Hash functionality
    and the other sub will test the dictionary functionality.

    Hi Cor,
    Thank you for going through my post and took the time to reply :) Most apreciated. The issue I am facing is that the memory is not reallocated when using mixed object types and is not behaving the same. I not understand that .net versus the older methods
    use memory allocation differently and perhaps using the .net dictionary object (in stead of the scripting.dictionary) may lead to similar behaviour. {Curious to find that out -> put to the to do list of interesting thingies to explore}
    I agree that allocated memory is not a bad thing as the blocks are already assigned to the program and therefore should be reallocated with more performance. However the dictionary object versus hashtable perform almost identical (and sometimes even favor
    the dictionary object)
    The hashtable is clearly the winner when dealing with small sets of data.
    The issue arises when I am using the hash table in conjunction with another type, for example a dictionary, I see that the dictionary object's memory is stacked on top of the claimed memory space of the hashtable. It appears that .net memory allocation and
    reuse is for .net references only. :) (Or so it seems)
    In another example I got with the similar setup, I see that the total used memory is never released or reclaimed and leakage of around 20% allocated memory remains to eventually crash the system with the out of memory message. (This is when another class
    calls the parent class that instantiates the child class but thats not the point of the question at hand)
    This leakage drove me to investigate and create the example of this post in the first place. For the solution with the class -> parent class -> child class memory leak I switched all to dictionaries and no leakage occurs anymore but nevertheless thought
    it may be good to share / ask if anyone else knows more :D (Never to old to learn something new)

  • Strange POF behaviour in 3.6.1.3

    Hi All,
    We have been seeing some strange POF behaviour in 3.6.1.3 paricularly around classes with boolean fields.

            this.stringField = stringField;
        @Override
        public void readExternal(PofReader pofReader) throws IOException {
            stringField = pofReader.readString(0);
            booleanFieldOne = pofReader.readBoolean(1);
            booleanFieldTwo = pofReader.readBoolean(2);
        @Override
        public void writeExternal(PofWriter pofWriter) throws IOException {
            pofWriter.writeString(0, stringField);

            Binary binary = ExternalizableHelper.toBinary(value, pofContext);

    JK
    false
    true... but what you get is...
    JK
    null
    Exception: -34 is an invalid typeWhat is going on? The booleanFieldOne seems to have been serialized as type -34 which is PofConstants.V_BOOLEAN_TRUE which makes sense but the code to deserialize the field cannot handle type -34. The booleanFieldTwo comes back as null and is serialized as type -65 which is PofConstants.T_UNKNOWN
    Where this causes us a problem is if we do a query with a filter like this...
    new EqualsFilter(new PofExtractor(null, 1), true);...it will break whenever it tries to extract the POF value where booleanFieldOne is true.
    I know we can fix this by always specifying the type, so this will work
    new EqualsFilter(new PofExtractor(Boolean.class, 1), true);and this will work too wheras it fails without specifying the type...
    childTwo.getValue(Boolean.class);So although there are work-arounds it seems very strange.
    What is even stranger is that if you do not serialize the stringField so the readExternal and writeExtrnal methods look like this
    @Override
    public void readExternal(PofReader pofReader) throws IOException {
        //stringField = pofReader.readString(0);
        booleanFieldOne = pofReader.readBoolean(1);
        booleanFieldTwo = pofReader.readBoolean(2);
    @Override
    public void writeExternal(PofWriter pofWriter) throws IOException {
        //pofWriter.writeString(0, stringField);
        pofWriter.writeBoolean(1, booleanFieldOne);
        pofWriter.writeBoolean(2, booleanFieldTwo);
    }The you get this output...
    null
    false
    Exception: -34 is an invalid typeiNow the stringField is null (as we have not serialized it) but the booleanFieldOne is now being desrialized correctly as a boolean false. We have noticed that if you have a boolean as the first field you serialize in the writeExternal method then it is serialized as POF type -11 which is PofConstants.T_BOOLEAN and will be deserialized as the correct true or false value.
    Cheers,
    JK

    Hi René,
    Just changing the field types to Boolean like this...
    private Boolean booleanFieldOne;
    private Boolean booleanFieldTwo;made no difference. But then changing the writeExternal method to use writeObject instead of writeBoolean did fix it and the types of both fields are -11 or PofConstants.T_BOOLEAN
    @Override
    public void writeExternal(PofWriter pofWriter) throws IOException {
        pofWriter.writeString(0, stringField);
        pofWriter.writeObject(1, booleanFieldOne);
        pofWriter.writeObject(2, booleanFieldTwo);
    }So using writeObject instead of writeBoolean would be another fix, but obviously most people would pick writeBoolean to store a boolean value.

  • Strange JFRAME behaviour under Jdk 1.5

    I have the following extracted code :
    import java.util.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;

              DrawPieChart(g);
    This programme work fine under jdk1.4.2 or below at the time when the Jframe or windows is resized or icon minimised or maximised.
    But when it was compiled using latest jdk1.5 , unexpected strange result happen , the pie chart draw using java 2d
    g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(30, 30, 200,200,startAngle,arcAngle
    , Arc2D.PIE));
    wil behaved strangely, the moment the JFrame or windows is resize or dragged.
    The pie chart will disappear if the windows is resized , However if the window is minimised and restore back to normal size , pie chart will reappear and subsequently lost completely if the windows is dragged resulted in the size changes.
    I was puzzled by this strange swing behaviour , any resized or windows minimise or maximise would not result in the lost of pie chart as long as the jdk is not 1.5 ! Was it due to swing fundamental changes incorporated in the latest release?
    Any suggestion?
    Thank

    ok I see what you have done,
    now a few tips in drawing something on your frame:
    never override the paint method of your main Frame (like you did)
    to draw something on it you simply override the contentPane's paint method
    and to make your own contentPane you simply make one by making a new Class
    that extends say JPanel and assign it as a contentPane of your Frame(like I did)
    And in this Paint method you can draw whatever you like it will be properly uptated!!!
    All the best keep up the good work!
    ps. try the code bellow.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class DrawPie1 extends JFrame {
    private double Total_Val=0;
    private int startAngle=0;
    private int arcAngle=0;
    private MyMainPanel mainPan;
    public DrawPie1()
    super ("Pie Chart Analysis");
    mainPan = new MyMainPanel();
    setContentPane(mainPan);
    //public void paint(Graphics g) //Do not override the paint method of your main frame!!
    // super.paint (g);
    // Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    // g2.setPaint(Color.red);
    // g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(30, 30, 200,200,0,78
    // , Arc2D.PIE));
    public static void main(String args[])
    DrawPie1 pie=new DrawPie1();
    pie.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    pie.setSize(400,300);
    pie.setVisible(true);
    //**** Second Class
    import javax.swing.*;

  • Sourcing 7.0 - Strange Login Behaviour for enterprise user

    Hello
    We have installed SAP Sourcing 7.0 and created one tenant and after that everything was running fine. I have now created another tenant. After this there is a strange login behaviour for enterprise user
    When I go to the ...../fsbuyer/portal URL, it given me a login screen. When I try to login with enterprise user and password as specified in the context, it does not let me login even with a correct password. The error is "User Authentication Failed"
    I just happened to try NW CE Administrator Login, after this the error changed to "Entry does not exist". Here I gave enterprise user and password and it logged into the system. So I now have to login two times once with NW UME User and other with enterprise user to access the setup page.
    However this is the problem only for enteprise user and not for other user accounts that I created. I checked in NW UME, the enterprise user does not exist there. However I can see that other users that I created using "Internal User Accounts" are also created in NW UME.
    Anyone faced this behaviour earlier?
    This also brings out a very interesting point. In Multi-Tenant Setup when using NW UME does this mean that two tenants cannot share the same user account. Is that so?
    Regards,
    Shubham

    Hi Vikram,
    Thanks a ton for your reponse.
    I would like to understand your solution regarding creating another cluster.
    Does this mean I need to install another CE Instance and install sourcing on the same.
    OR
    I have to create an Add-In instance for the current CE Server and define the Host Name of Add-In Instance in the new cluster
    Also in this cluster, which context should I select, System Context or Existing Tenant Context or New Tenant Context.
    Regards,
    Shubham

  • Strange viewing behaviour on score page view on Logic 7.2.0 on MacBookPro

    I recorded some sequences in Logic 7.2.0 on my MacBookPro and, seeing them in page view mode, I get a strange viewing behaviour: the staffs continue going straight on overshooting the "white delimited page zone". If I try to zoom out I can't obtain the "more pages view" option normally obtained.
    If I reopen this song on the logic 7.2.0 situated in my G5 all is fine. Why?
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Fulvio

    Guys, I think this problem has to do with the scale parameter of the instrument set being translated incorrectly on Intel/MPB (quite possibly affecting even the "ALL" instrument set, which has no adjustable parameters). Now, I don't have an Intel Mac or MBP, but based on my recent experiences in PPC and similar problems, plus what I've read here, I think I might be on to something...
    I'm going to suggest that you guys who are having problems with staves going off the page to do the following test:
    1) Open one of your problematic songs and view the score editor where the off-the-page staves are displayed
    2) If you're using the "ALL" instrument set, read on. If not, go to #3 below.
    ALL Instrument Set: if you're using this just to see a preliminary version of your score, close the score window, select ALL, and open the score editor. This forces the creation of a new instrument set. Do these staves go off the page? If not, you're good to go. But if they do go off the page...
    a) go to your printer settings and make sure that you have valid settings there. This includes the printer type, page size, and scaling. If they're set to default values (like "most recent printer"), be sure to select an actual printer on your system.
    b) open the Instrument Set parameters for the set that was created just before. Set the scale parameter to 200%, then make it 50%, then make it 100%. If my theory is correct, your music should now stay on the page.
    3) If you're using a custom instrument set repeat steps a) and b) above. See if that clears up the problem.
    I'd be curious to know if any of the above fixes the problem for you. Again, it's just a theory, but maybe it has legs...
    Best,

  • Strange delete behaviour

    Hi,
    I'm currently facing a very strange Oracle behaviour. First of all, here are the settings:
    * 2 CPUs @ 1,6 GHz
    * Raid-0 with 2 x 160 GB
    * 3 GB RAM
    * Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    * Oracle Standard 9.2.0.7 using standard settings for the instance
    On the machine there is only one db (containing one instance) running, nothing else (beside the OS). The instance has 1GB shared memory assigned and contains about 5 GB of data distributed in approx. 750 tables.
    I'm trying to delete all non-master data from the instance via simple "delete <table> where id in (select id from some_table)" statements in a script. This works perfectly (approx. 2-3 million deleted records per hour), processor load is about 50%, the Windows system monitor shows few hundred kilobytes of data read/written per minute.
    But this changes after maybe one hour running time. CPU load sinks to 4-5% and data transfer rate rises to approx. 2GB(!!) per minute. I tried to abort the deleting process and rebuild all indexes as well statistics of the schema affected, but without any improvements. The only thing working at the moment is commiting the transaction and shutting down/restarting the instance. Afterwards everything is working fine (without index/statistic rebuilding!), but only for the time period mentioned before.
    Does anyone know what could be the source of this behaviour? Anyone got any hints what to change for a better performance? I already thought of bulk inserting the whole schema in a cloned schema without constraints, but 700 tables contain a lot of constraints and triggers, so a consistent insert would be a pain in the tush...
    Thanks in advance!

    No, the disks are internal as is the raid controller. And strangely enough, not writing causes a high data rate, but reading! I assume that if the caches are too small the DB starts reading the indexes time and again, but 2 GB of index reading per minute??? No way, I say. Few hundred kilobytes or even a few megabytes makes sense in my opinion, but not the amount mentioned...
    Truncating the tables would be a solution, but have you already tried to empty a 750 table schema with constraints and triggers implementing data inheritance? I have, and it didn't work, afterwards data consistency was not given any more...
    I have already tried to delete the data in batches, each followed by a commit operation. But this brought the same result after a while, which was reading GBs of data per minute...

  • Strange clock behaviour

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing some strange clock behaviour with my system clock in Mac OS 10.4.10.
    The digital clock shows the right time while the analog clock shows the wrong time (2 hours offset) in the same dialog.
    The system time in general seems to be wrong since the time schedule in eyetv's TV program dialog isn't correct either.
    Does anyone have a clue how to solve this issue?
    thx in advance,
    beelzebubi

    hi,
    sry for the long delay in my reply - i was on holiday w/o internet access.
    about my problem:
    if you carefully compare both times in picture 1 I've attached to my post (http://de.geocities.com/dannerste/Bild1.png) you'll notice that the digital clock shows a different time than the analog clock.
    The analog clock shows ~22:00 (right time) whereas the analog clock shows ~20:00 o'clock (wrong time).
    I don't have a clue where this difference comes from and how to resolve it.
    As I've also noticed before my system time in general seems to be faulty: e.g. the EPG program guide in eyeTV shows wrong the time too, the TV program itself (its content) is OK.
    thx for your support,
    beelzebubi

  • Strange system log error from Photoshop CS4

    Hi.
    I keep getting this strange system log error from Photoshop CS4.
    It comes after a wile when using PS CS4.
    I tried to chance the memory settings and scratch disc to see if that helped. It didn't.
    I also checked all my ram for anything bad. 16GB in my Mac Pro Intel OS X 10.5.6
    Everything is updated to latest included Adobe apps.
    This is the system log error

  • Strange system hang using rmi

    Hi, I read for several hours now, but I can't find a hint what problem I'm experiencing. Perhaps someone has an idea?
    I have a small java application (jdk1.3.1_08) which starts a RMIRegistry, binds an object name. It then starts another java application in another jvm using Runtime.exec(...).
    Everything fine until here. The second application starts and works fine.
    BUT: Now I close app2 and start it again from app1. Basically everything works also this time. But there is a delay at startup from app2 which I cannot explain. App2 hangs for 10 secondes up to 70 seconds, between two debug outputs!!!
    Every little hint is appreciated!!
    Torsten.

    I think the hanging of app2 is not depending on what it actually does. But I try to explain some more, you're right:
    App1 is kind of a starter environment, a launch center for several applications. One of these applications is my app2. The reason for using rmi and the second jvm is that I now can use a System.exit(0) in app2 without killing the launch center (app1). When I start app2 standalone from command line without rmi, then it starts without the strange system hang.
    What does app2 do?
    App2 has a starting time of about 30 seconds (standalone) where several things are initialized. In detail, it is a Swing application using the oracle framework JClient for data binding of Swing components and the oracle framework BC4J for mapping to an oracle database. The system hang when started in the second jvm occurs in the startup process, but not at a specific point in the programm. This means: on PC1 it hangs everytime between the same two debug outputs, on PC2 (a bit faster) it hangs later in the code. Thats the reason why I think, there could be a rmi problem.
    What I did not mention yet: The launch center (app1) builds a kind of transfer object which is passed via rmi to app2 in the second jvm.
    Does this help to solve my problem? I really run out of ideas what to do...

  • Strange Finder behaviour since installing Mountain Lion

    I've been experiencing some strange finder behaviour since updating to Mountain Lion. Folders take several seconds to open after clicking on them (and sometimes won't open at all) and files cannot be moved around the desktop or dragged on to an app. However, it is possible to open a file by clicking on it. I've tried re-booting with Snow Leopard and everything seems OK, but as soon as I go back to ML, the problem starts again.

    Library is a folder, not a file. There're more than one Library folders, one at the root and one for each user in your Mac. All of them are hidden, this is why you can't find them. But you can see their contents using
    Finder Menu > Go > Go to Folder
    And then type:
    ~/Library
    for your Library Folder
    -or-
    /Library
    for the root Library folder.

  • Strange repaint behaviour with JList & Keyboard actions

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post to the forum. You guys have been a great help in the past and I hope to contribute more in the future.
    Anyways, I've encountered some strange repainting behaviour with a JDialog that uses a JList and a JButton. The dialog is fairly straight-forward and basically this is how it works (like an open file dialog - yes I'm implementing my own filechooser of sorts):
    * JList lists a number of simple items that the user can select from.
    * Once a selection is made, an Open button (JButton) is enabled.
    * <ENTER> key is registered (using registerKeyboardAction()) with a JPanel which is used as the main content pane in the dialog.
    * The user can either click on the Open Button or hit the <ENTER> key which then closes the dialog and runs whatever logic that needs to.
    Now, the repaint problem comes in when:
    1. User selects an item.
    2. User hits the <ENTER> button
    3. Dialog closes
    4. User brings the dialog back up. This entails reloading the list by removing all elements from the list and adding new ones back in.
    5. Now... if the user uses the mouse to select an item lower in the list than what was done in step #1, the selection is made, but the JList doesn't repaint to show that the new selection was made.
    I didn't include a code sample because the dialog setup is totally straight-forward and I'm not doing anything trick (I've been doing this kind of thing for years now).
    If I remove the key registration for the <ENTER> key from the dialog, this problem NEVER happens. Has anyone seen anything like this? It's a minor problem since my workaround is to use a ListSelectionListener which manually calls repaint() on the JList inside the valueChanged() method.
    Just curious,
    Huy

    Oh, my bad. I'm actually using a JToggleButton and not a JButton, so the getRootPane().setDefaultButton() doesn't apply because it only takes JButton as an input param. I wonder why it wasn't implemented to take AbstractButton. hmmm.
