System load up time

mbp 17" matte
500GB w/7200rpm
4GB ram
MAYA, NUKE, Pftrack, AE, Photoshop, Illustrator, FCP2
OSX load up time = 1min10sec (roughly) . is this fast, slow, normal?
fresh system from apple on 500GB w/5400rpm when 1st bought w/no softwares install =43sec
please post your load up time to compare.

Depends on what you are loading during startup. Slowdowns at startup can be caused by having a number of applications loading as login items, by the number of startup items you may use, what third-party utilities may be in use. The system can slow down if cache files need cleaning. Try some basic maintenance:
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.
OS X automatically defrags 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.
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.
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):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
12. Clone X (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

UnsatisfiedLinkError upon System.load() of library even though the load is in the init() function of the servlet.

All,
Any help on this would be appreciated. We have a servlet that calls a native method
and we load the native library in the servlet's 'init()' method so the servlet
gets loaded only once. However, periodically, I get the following error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError : Native Library /opt/shared2/weblogic/myserver/servletclasses/twtc/servlet/toc/toclib.so
already loaded in another classloader
It seems to bring down weblogic when this happens.
Why does this happen?
Is there a way around this?
As a test, I called System.load() 10 times outside of the init function with the
same library and it did not fail once but it does periodically in the init() function
of my servlet, which implies that the init function is being called more than
once.

Like what the error message says, you can only load a native library once per ClassLoader per VM.
You can test this by constructing two ClassLoaders and loading the same library.
The reason why a servlet will be constructed by different classloaders with a VM session is if:
1) the servlet is reloaded (hot-deployed)
2) the servlet belongs in more than one ear, since each ear has its own classloader.

No system load data available in st03

Dear Guru,
When i am executing Tcode ST03 it is showing that "No system load data available"
when i am executing "RSSTAT83" report then its thriwing "LOGDB_SSCR_NOT_FOUND" dump.
statndard job getting cancelled thats why i hae change the status of all standard btc jobs.
but system is still too much slow. Right now there is no job running.my patch level is also 14 of both abap & basis.
What to do......

Hi Gaurav
this kind of error belongs to In correct time Zones, OS Time and R/3 Time was different, please set both time zones same in all clients using STZAC Tcode
again if not slove your problem then fallow this procedure.
It is possible that the workload collector is not schedule. To schedule the collector, choose, in Expert user mode, Collector -> Perf. Monitor Collector -> Execution Times in the left subscreen. The system displays the Contents of table TCOLL screen. Ensure that the report RSSTAT83 is scheduled hourly.
if not scheduled hourly, then execute aboue report in SE38

URLClassLoader slower than system loader

I'm subclassing URLClassLoader to load jar files on the local file system. I noticed that URLClassLoader loads about 30% slower than placing the jar files on the system class path. In my app, class loading performance in very important -even though it is just a one time hit.
I suspect the URLClassLoader (which I believe is implemented mostly in Java on Sun's VM) is not leveraging the many performance optimziations that the system loader enjoys (which is probably implemented in native code).
I also experience the same performance issue if I try to do jar loading myself using Java ZipFile i/o.
Comments?

well there is quite more overhead involved - loading from classpath of course is the most optimized one.

Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

Hi Experts,
We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
- What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
- Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
- Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
- Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards

HI Neelesh,
There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
Check the below link for more info
Performance problems in DP mass processing
Let me know if you require further info.

Raj

Determining system load

Is it possible for the Java RTS to return information about the load the threads it manages are putting on the CPU? I have developed a number of alternative schedulers using the priority scheduler as my base (using some of the ideas brought up on this forum and some ideas from Dr. Andy Welling's book), and I would like to test them.
Specifically, since the algorithms are really simulations of other scheduling policies using priority scheduling, I am interested in determining the execution magnitudes at which the overhead associated with the simulation becomes neglectable i.e. at what execution magnitudes do the developed schedulers begin to approach the ideal system load before missing deadlines. For example, for the EDF scheduler I am interested in knowing the thread execution magnitudes at which the system load at which a deadline is first missed is 1.

If you're running Java RTS on Solaris, DTrace is able to provide you all the details about the time each thread is running on each processor. You could also download the tool called Thread Scheduling Visualizer (TSV) on Java RTS download page. This tool is using DTrace to record this kind of information and provides a graphical view of the scheduling of the different threads. The TSV bundle also contains a directory called DTraceToolBox with several DTrace scripts. The script named thread_cpu_prio.sh should do something close to what you're looking for.

System load application (stress measurement)

Hi,
I am about to create a Benchmark application. The main purpose of the application is to compare performance between Linux and Windows NT. Two PCs equipped with Gigabit Ethernet cards are to be connected point-to-point.
(*PC, Sender*)---->UDP/TCP channel---->(*PC, Receiver)
One PC will load the other PC by sending either TCP or UDP packets. I have already written both receiver and sender applications, but I need to monitor the system load at the receiving end. My question is whether it is possible to perform the following actions with Java code.
* Measure the CPU usage on the receiving PC.
* Monitor the level of PCI bus traffic.
* I want to monitor the memory load. (more precise than freeMemory() and totalMemory() )
If any of these options are possible, where can I find more info/sample code ? I have heard something about JNI, but I don't really know what that is.

The comparison would be unfair (by your definition of unfair) in Java, too, since the JVMs for both platforms are different.
If you are dealing with time, though, 500 milliseconds is 500 milliseconds, no matter what language you write it on or what platform you run it on. If you use VC++ for the Windows stuff, make sure you disable Microsoft extensions so you have some ANSI standard code that will compile with gcc.
Since you are trying to compare operating systems, make sure both machines are using the same processors (and motherboards with the same PCI bus architecture), too. And have the same amount of memory, which is the same speed and architecture on both. Their hard drives should be roughly the same speed, too. The PCI bus usage could vary with network cards, so having the same network cards will be a plus. What it seems to come down to is that you are going to end up measuring the performance of the socket library implementations on both machines.
As far as JNI goes, all it is is a way to write native code and use it in your Java application. I don't know much about it, search around for some examples. There's a tutorial, somewhere, too. Some dude on here, tpritchet, seems to know a lot about it.

When I load Quick time Encore will not link to Photo shop Why??????

When ever I try and load Quick time to my production Premium Package and use Encore I am not able to link to Photoshop. It goes right to a quick time file.Do I have the wrong version of QuickTime or what.(QuickTime version 7) I am using windows 7 professional and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production premium. When ever I uninstall QuickTime it works fine but then it ask's me for "quick Time". Is there a special version of Quick time that I have to load and where do I find it. I am not that computer "savie" so please be detailed.
Thank you very much for your help.
Jack

Jack,
As Stanley says, your PSD file association has been changed by QT. If on a PC, go to Control Panel>Folder Options>File Type, and wait for the screen to populate. Scroll down to PSD and choose Photoshop (should be in the little list of programs, but if not, just navigate to it).
QT was once horrible about file associations. Upon install, it would go into the system, and just grab almost every file type for itself - even if it could not actually open that file type. Just flat horrible behavior. That changed about version 7, but if one is not careful, they can turn over the file associations to QT and it will do the same - mark most (it now only seizes image and AV file types) to be opened in QT, by default.
I manually set QT for just MOV and MP4's, as I have other programs, that I want to have those other associations. I just use the method above. Same for JPEG's, and GIF's - Photoshop will grab those associations, but for them, I want other viewers as the default, and not PS. If I want them into PS, I use use File>Open.
Once you have changed the file association(s), test Edit in Photoshop from En, again.
Good luck,
Hunt

Music interrupts (system load)

I'm playing my music with the BMP. When the system load gets higher (even for a short time) the music falters and interrupts. This happens even when I open nautilus (or other applications) or when I e.g. copy some data. I'm running gnome 2.8.
Is there a possibility to set process priority or another way to solve such problems?

I'm running kernel 2.6.7 (but I'm downloading a 2.6.8.1 version) and ALSA. PreEmpt is enabled. The system runs on AthlonXP2500 on nForce2 with the onboard sound device. Should I try nvidia's nForce driver?
The problem occurs often when I'm using firefox (especially when I'm downloading stuff with firefox) and openoffice (but more rarely for exemple while running GIMP).
Thank you for your answer...

Massive system load on socket connect

Hi all,
I have some strange problem connecting to a server. I am using the JDK1.4.1 and connect with a timeout of 1000ms, so I would expect Java to honor this, but on some connections the connect call itself takes up to 5 seconds. During this time the processor load goes very hight and the
client is so busy that you cannot even press a button in some GUI.
I have 4 clients which connect to the same socket in parallel but they are all in own threads.
Another thing worth to mention is that I also try to connect to hosts,
where no route exists to them (I need this because I want my system to also work properly when the customer has some errors in his network
configuration and some servers may not be reachable).
Any ideas??

sorry for the missing information:
the problems occur on Windows XP Pers., I havent seen any problems
yet with linux (I'm using Debian) but I don't run the same
configuration on linux (the client side is Windows, the servers all
run on Debian).
The load is definitely operating system load because it occurs when I watch some of the connect()'s block for about 5 seconds - my application does nothing but wait for the connect to come back.

Can you delete ODS indexes before loading each time in Process Chain

Can you delete ODS indexes before loading eachin time in Process Chain and rebuild them just like a cube.And do you have to delete the indexes if its a daily refresh where data is deleted and a full update is done everyday.

Hi,
Are you using Secondary Indices on the ODS objects. I thought the Primary Index (which is also the Key Part of the ODS) is automatically updated during the Data Activation in the ODS. I am not sure if the Secondary Indicies are also automatically updated by the system.

Load+gen time very high

Hi all
i m using SAP 4.7 on Oracle 9.2
Server- IBM P series Processor 375Mhzx 2 RAM - 3 GB
I hav problem that in ST03n i have Load +Gen time very high (upto 500)
is it some H/w problem or some tuning prob.
Thanks in Advance

SGEN will recompile ABAP loads that you want.
your system look old, so, this can take anything from 1 hour to 8 hours.
so, do this when user load is minimal.
I usually choose all options and do a complete generation. this takes a lot of space in your DB, but system will be faster even if you use rarely used transactions.

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Depending on how many user helpers are on-line, it may take several hours, or longer, to get a response.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
