Table contained in a topic causes slow response when working with source

I am using RoboHelp V8.0.2 (I have applied the two fixes available from the Adobe product site).
Here is my issue:
I am documenting a product that has over 1,500 metrics.
I am trying to make a list of 1,077 metrics in one topic (all the metrics are of the same "type" so they are grouped together).
The table presenting these metrics has two columns, a Field Name column and a Description column.
There is not a lot of text within the table - most of the explanations and calculations are defined outside the table.
When I have more than about 400 table rows, the response time working with the topic in source is just horrible.
It took 3 minutes to open the topic in source, another 3 minutes to move the table over .425in from margin.
When I try to close the project, it gets hung up.
Has anyone else run into a problem working with tables within a topic?
I had a similar response time issue with V8.0.0 in general when I first installed it.
Once I installed the two fixes, that problem was (for the most part) eliminated.
I think the second fix specifically addressed response time issues when working in source.
I am going to try this on one of my other writer's machine to see if it is the age of my computer.
My computer setup is:
Dell Precision work station with an Intel Xeon 2.40GHZ processor and 2MB of RAM.
I am using Windows XP Professional 5.1.26 Service Pack 3.0.
I have a 110 GB hard drive with 18 GB available.
As always - thanks for any insight or information.

Hi Michael.
Interestingly the maximum number of rows you can use when you create a table via the Table > Insert > Table menu item is 100. That said, I've just created a 500 row table and whilst it is slower than a smaller table it is OK. I am also using RH 8.0.2 but on a higher spec PC.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router

safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router - any ideas on why?

Is your problem with Safari on the iPad, or some MacBook Air?
Are you sure that the ASUS firmware is tested with the device having trouble and its operating system?
Note: MacBook Airs do not run iOS. They run Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.

Very slow response when working in MIDI

no matter what the action is my app is responding painfully slow when i work in midi. is there anyway i can optimize performance? the app responds about 20 secs late! agh!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Removing RIghtZoom worked for me!
I only had it installed because I don't like the way windows in OS X don't fully maximize like windows. I much prefer Illustrator to work than have full screen... plus photoshop tool selection is much faster as well.

Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Version 26.0 Firefox, Windows XP, sp/3

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Random users getting very slow response when opening messages/attachments or sending email

I have a small number of users, mostly very senior management of course, who are experiencing slow response when trying to open email messages and attachments or send messages.
They see the spinning wheel and sit there until it decides to open or send. If the message is opened and closed again you would expect it to be quick reopening the same message, no, it does the same thing again.
These users are all using Outlook 2010 and their mail accounts are on Exchange 2013. It does not seem to make a difference if they use a physical machine or log into a VDI.
I do not have the same issue generally, though I have experienced this when using VDI and this has been seen using a number of different machine pools so it is not a specific pool.
This is not specifically a VDI issue, as the 3rd paragraph says, the issues are seen on both physical and virtual machines.
none of the mailboxes are particularly large, most are at around 60% of quota limit, and the same limit applies to almost all mailboxes across the organization. They also do not appear to have a huge number of messages stored, other users without issues
have larger mailboxes and higher item counts. Any ideas what I need to look at to address this?

Hi,
How about OWA?
If OWA works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please try to run Outlook under safe mode and re-create profile for testing.
Any related error/warning/information message left in App Log?
Also consider the network Bandwidth.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table. Every 1/2 - 1 hour it nearly falls back, impossible to work with. While this project must be finshed quite soon..
What the hell is the matter with this Creative Cloud. I havea very fast iMac form 2014. I closed all other programmes, even cannot listen to music now. More people with this problem??
Martien

@Martien – How complex is your table?
How many cells? Merged ones as well?
Complex formatting of texts inside the cells?
Complex formatting rules of table rows and/or columns?
Many images inserted?
If yes, and the table is running through many text frames of many pages, I fear, you can do nothing against slowness.
Nothing but: Greek text, not showing the page contents in the Pages Panel, in short: anything you can do to get better performance in redrawing of the screen.
If you have the chance to break up one big table in several parts, do that and edit its parts one after another isolated. Pehaps in different documents.
Then merge the parts in one table, if you want to flow it from page to page.

Slow response when entering data to an empty cell?

Hey there...
I have this issue that when I start entering data into an empty cell or owerwriting one, the response is slow; when I press a button on the keyboard it takes roughly 1 second before anything visual happens in the cell, but when the data "makes it way through" the response is normal when hitting the keyboard.
Is anyone else experince a slow response when entering data to an empty cell in Number 09 or when overwriting one?/ Anyone familar with a similar issue, and is there anybody who knows how to fix this, or is it just normal for Numbers 09 to be a bit sluggish in the beginning when entering data?
I've recently swithced from Excel 2007 to Numbers 09, so sorry if the terminology is incorrect.

Question asked and answered several times.
Numbers was not coded by brains but by feet so, it behave sadly when the AutoSave Lion feature apply.
I posted a script getting rid of that.
Start from a template or duplicate the existing document just after opening it then close the original and work on the duplicate.
As it was never saved, AutoSave doesn't apply to it;
From time to time (say at least every ten minutes) call my script.
It wil duplicate the doc in progress and save it with a date_time stamped name.
this way, you will continue to enter datas in a never saved document.
Search for the string Auto_Save in the existing threads.
It's late and I'm too tired to search for you.

Problem with Ai when working with a logo (the program gets slow & I can´t move the logo easily)

Hi there, Hope everyone is well. I have troubles with my Ai when working with a logo, I just want to move it from one point to another and it gets pretty slow to be moved. I am working on a brand new iMac and this problem surprises me a little bit. Do you know why is this happening? I get de Ai from the Creative Cloud...could it be the internet?

Can you please show a screenshot?
Are there any placed raster images in your file? Are there any raster effects in your logo file? What are your Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings... ? Also, what are your Preferences > Scratch Disks settings, and how much free space do you have on that (those) drive(s)?
I doubt it's the internet, unless you're also synching at the same time ... and while this is taking place your internet connection is super-slow.

Why firefox has slow response when i 'm saving pictures to hard disk?

I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox ver. 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When i try to save a picture from a site (right mouse click and save as) to the hard disk of my pc, the response of firefox is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought it was a matter of file size but it proved that it was irrelevant, because it was happening to pictures from 10kb to 500kb. I did the following:
- clear history
- clear cache from firefox and the folder ''cache'' in my profile
- delete the files downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf
- i changed the ''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' and ''services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' to false
- clear the downloads window
- disable all add-ons
After all these, the problem still remained
Then i started firefox in safe mode (help --> Restart with Add-ons Disabled...). The problem still remained.
Then i disabled Microsoft security essentials (real time protection) and windows firewall. I do not have any other anti-virus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.
Then i created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. So, one last attempt was left to do. Reboot with safe mode. So i followed the following steps.
i ran msconfig and disabled ''Microsoft Security Client'' from start up tab and ''Microsoft Antimalware Service'' from services tab. So i did a safe mode boot with network support and windows firewall, disabled. Guess what. Nothing happened.
I noticed that when i was trying to save pictures, during the process, there was a significant hard disk activity (the led indicator of hard disk activity was lighting constantly) and firefox on the left upper corner, shown the message ''not responding'' for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19kb in 10 seconds is not normal.
Is this problem has to do with the cache? The hard disk is an SSD (solid state drive). Do you think it would be better to redirect cache to memory? (i have 6GB total RAM). This problem was also happening to previous versions of firefox, but i think that with this version, the problem is more frequent. It is not happening with every picture, but it happens with more than 65% of the pictures.
It also happens when loading a web page, but it might be a matter of a heavy web page that uses many resources of my system, during loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with web page loading, is not as frequent as with saving pictures.
I think it is a matter of cache management. What is your opinion?
Thank you.

The cause to my problem was the jump lists, that Windows 7 introduced. There are two kinds of jump lists, automatic and custom. Automatic jump lists were causing the slow down of firefox through window explorer. Finally it was a problem of windows explorer and not firefox. Windows 7 introduced many new features that cause slow system performance. Anyway the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
1. Open mycomputer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2. Press ctrl + a
3. press shift + delete and delete everything inside the folder
I think that the respective jump list of windows explorer is the one that starts with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in case you don't want to delete every jump list in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view files by date. The most recent file should be the correspondent with firefox.

Slow response when deleting from PSA or overlapping requests

Hi
We have experienced slow response times when the 'delete' jobs are kicked off from the process chain to delete PSA data as well as overlapping requests from cubes in the past two weeks. When displaying the processes via SM50 it appears that the job is not running, however in SM37 the status of the job is 'Active'. Eventually it does finish, but sometimes it times out. Any suggestions?

Hi
When it completes it does the correct deletion of the overlapping requests. It only cancels without a shortdump. Here is a job log of one of these jpbs:
14.02.2006 05:47:45 Job started
14.02.2006 05:47:45 Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000670942, user ID ALEREMOTE)
14.02.2006 05:47:54 FB RSM1_CHECK_DM_GOT_REQUEST called from PRG RSSM_PROCESS_REQUDEL_CUBE; row 000214
14.02.2006 05:47:54 Request '437,729'; DTA '0PM_C01'; action 'D'; with dialog 'X'
14.02.2006 05:47:54 Leave RSM1_CHECK_DM_GOT_REQUEST in row 70; Req_State ''
After the last step, that is where the entire job comes to a halt. It stays like that until we manually cancels it or it finish some hours later. We have recently uploaded patch level 28 on BW 3.0B, and am not sure if that could be the cause.
Thanks :->

Extremely Slow Response when attempting to display files on Windows Server

I have set up File Sharing on my MacBook Pro using SMB and defined the folders that are available to be shared. When I look at the Network Neighbourhood in Windows Explorer the Macbook appears listed with all the other PCs on the network. When I try to open the Macbook in Explorer it takes a very long time to open (about 2 minutes or so) and shows me the list of folders. When I try to open a folder the exact same thing happens - it opens after a couple of minutes, this continues for every folder that I try to open. I thought it might be that Explorer needed to "catalog" the files in the folders but the same thing happens each time - if I close the connection and try again it takes the same amount of time. What is very strange is that if I connect to the Windows Server from the Mac opening and looking at shared folders/files is instantaneous so clearly this is not a network problem. If I use the Win2K3 server to look at other computers/files the result is the same - instantaneous access, so it has nothing to do with the Win2K3 server - clearly the problem is with the MacBook serving up the file information to the Win2K3 server. I have tried with AFP on and off and the result is the same. The user name/pwd is the same on both the Win2K3 and the Macbook - and I have tried with a different username on the Win2K3 - no difference. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Yes they are on the same workgroup, on ethernet, plugged into the same switch. The Mac can read and copy files of the Win2K3 server with no problem. The problem is clearly at the Mac end as the Win2K3 server can view files on any machine on the network without the slow response, the Mac can view files on the Win2K3 server without the slow response, it is only when the Win2K3 server tries to view files on the Mac.

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Oracle 8i giving slow response when running sql query

hi ,
i am using oracle 8i server ;
and sql query giving slow response before some days;
so which parameter need to increase
DB_BLOCK_BFFERS OR SHARE_POOL_SIZE
CURRENT SETING IS
DB_BLOCK_BUFFER=256000;
SHARE POOLSIZE=300M;
pls advice to me
thanks

No parameters need to be increased. Tuning is not done but making arbitrary changes to values and hoping that good things will happen by accident.
The thing you really should be worrying about is your antique database and likely its impact on your skill set unless you are one year away from retirement.
Where's the actual version number?
Where's the DDL?
Where's the DML?
Where's the Explain Plan?

Getting an error when working with Responsive Design Output: MasterThemeSchema.xml

When generating a Responsive Design HTML 5 output, I'm getting this error: "MasterThemeSchema.xml file has invalid data." I am unable to access the manage layout features now to continue my customizations. I had imported a customized font before seeing this message. I'm moved the project to my harddrive, where the software is installed, and and still getting it (I know RH doesn't always do well on a network drive). Any ideas?

I searched this blog for similar posts and found posts that described similar issues. I ended up moving my RH project file to my local drive, deleting the masterthemeschema.xml, and replacing it with another masterthemeschema.xml from another project via Windows Explorer. I will recreate my customizations and hope for the best. Any ideas on what causes this corruption of the mastertheme schema files in the first place? Does this masterthemeschema.xml error only occur when working on a network drive and not local?
