Two independent installation and performance issue

Hi,
We have installed two independent DBs (11gr2 enterprise 64 bit)on a large box with 80 cores 256GB RAM.
The data files for both DBs are on ram. The objective is to find if we can double perf number with two instances.
What we see is that when both instances are run the "log file sync" event takes 5 times more time (there are other wait events also go up).
db2: (when db2 running alone)
log file sync 202,445 21 0 .9 Commit
db2: (when db1 & db2 running together)
log file sync 267,512 97 0 4.5 Commit
The CPU load average -1 comes down from
14.1 to 1.68 though CPU utilization jumps from 41% to 82%.
There are two independent installations. We are trying to find out how one instance of DB can affect other (make other wait more), unless there is an underlying issue in the common resource used by both.
The SGAs should be allocated and accessed by DBs separately, right?
ipcs -m shows:
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0xe93e5adc 262144 oracle 660 4096 0
0x13074fa0 491521 oracle 660 1612709888 0
0xcd05b8c4 622594 oracle 660 4096 0
if we turn off one db then
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x13074fa0 491521 oracle 660 1612709888 0
0xcd05b8c4 622594 oracle 660 4096 0
I am not very familiar oracle and do not know how to find memory layout of oracle DB. Any help/pointer is appreciated.
What is the best way to find out that two DBs do not share the same SGA/resources?
The two DBS have everything different except ora inventory.

Without a lot more information there really isn't much one can say other than that, properly installed, the two should be completely independent of each other.
That said it seems that is not the case which takes us back to what none of us out here can know ... what isn't as you assume it should be.
What is most confusing to me is this statement:
The data files for both DBs are on ram. The objective is to find if we can double perf number with two instances.I have no idea what either sentence is intended to mean. The first because datafiles are not "on RAM" and the second because two instances will never double anything other than resource utilization and overhead.

Cache and performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time

Hello Group Members,
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time, when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users
system (8 GB RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cubes - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after
daily cube refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (16 GB RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Thanks Richard and Charlie,
We have implemented the solution/suggestions in our DEV environment and we have seen a definite improvement. We are waiting this to be deployed in UAT environment to note down the actual performance and time improvement while browsing the cube for the
first time after daily cube refresh.
Guys,
This is what we have done:
We have 4 cube databases and each cube db has 1-8 cubes.
1. We are doing daily cube refresh using SQL jobs as follows:
<Batch xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
<Parallel>
<Process xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ddl2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2" xmlns:ddl2_2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2/2" xmlns:ddl100_100="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2008/engine/100/100" xmlns:ddl200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200" xmlns:ddl200_200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200/200">
<Object>
<DatabaseID>FINANCE CUBES</DatabaseID>
</Object>
<Type>ProcessFull</Type>
<WriteBackTableCreation>UseExisting</WriteBackTableCreation>
</Process>
</Parallel>
</Batch>
2. Next we are creating a separate SQL job (Cache Warming - Profitability Analysis) for cube cache warming for each single cube in each cube db like:
CREATE CACHE FOR [Profit Analysis] AS
{[Measures].members}
*[TIME].[FINANCIAL QUARTER].[FINANCIAL QUARTER]
3. Finally after each cube refresh step, we are creating a new step of type T-SQL where we are calling these individual steps:
EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'Cache Warming - Profit Analysis';
GO
I will update the post after I receive the actual im[provement from UAT/ Production environment.
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Macbook screen cracked, HD and performance issues

I am definitely disappointed with my computer.
I have a Macbook 13.3" 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb 160Gb HD, Serial#: W8**VM0P5, and within 1,5 year I have faced many issues, which are related here:

O.S. CRASHES
I bought it in late September 2008, in Cologne, Germany, at the reseller "Compustore PC Gmbh", and also asked 4Gb Ram, and a Wireless mighty mouse.
After changing the Ram memory, i went home; and a few days later, the problems came. Sometimes, the system crashed suddenly, showing the grey screen: "You must restart your computer". I thought it was normal, and continued to use, when it became more frequently (Picture: http://picasaweb.google.com/gstorck/MacbookProblems#5476986272817173138). It was little strange for a new laptop, and then I took it back to the store to fix it. The seller just took a look, changed some configurations, and gave me back again. I did this twice, and had to get back to the store for the third time, due to new crashes and some lack of performance. Then the seller replaced the Ram memory, with new 4Gb.
After that, the system worked more stable; the problem happened some two or three times after some months, but it was ok.

HD Problems
One year later, in late 2009, I purchased a Mac OS update, the Snow Leopard. I was back to Brazil, where I live till today. During the OS installation, something went wrong and it couldn't be completed. Mac asked me to restart the computer, but then the system didn't start anymore; some files were corrupted. I guess there was not enough space to install the update, so it was not completed; but it should be no reason to the corruption of the OS.
November 10th, 2009
I took my computer to the local Apple technical support, the "Omni Informatica", in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, to format the HD and reinstall the Snow Leopard. As I needed more space, I also changed my original 160Gb HD for a new 250Gb Western Digital HD. The service was finished in Nov 17th.
I noticed also little cracks in the laptop case, but I had no time to insist with the bad local technical support to repair it (I know Apple already acknowledged this problem.) They said, at first, that they would have to ask the Apple USA to send the body, or something like that.

SCREEN CRACKED
The reinstallation was ok, and the laptop was running well. Suddenly, when I take the Macbook from the case and open it on my desk, something pretty wrong appears: a large crack on the lower right corner of the screen.
It was not dropped, it was not crashed, and I did not "close it with a pen inside".
The screen simply cracked. And as so many similar problems with another users I could easily find on the web, I really expect Apple to admit it as a Manufacture's fault. The local technical support said it is no other thing except I hit the laptop, or dropped it, so it's all my fault. (See Picture 3)
The only thing they can offer me is to repair the screen for R$1200. I am definitely not going to pay for this; a "normal" and good pc laptop costs this price (And a new basic macbook costs today R$2400).
If the problems were just it, it would be not so bad.

HD FAILURE
After 1 month, on Feb 11th, my new 250Gb HD simply stopped working. Different from the first time, that the HD was just corrupted, this time it has really broken, it died. I had it all backed up, but I have lost the HD.
Back again to the technical assistance, they said to me the problem was the same that cracked my screen: my fault, on letting the laptop fall, or hitting it with some kind of pressure. They couldn't do anything, and even the Western Digital 3-month Warranty would not cover this type of problem ("user's misuse").

DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE
I'm working again with the original 160Gb HD (formatted and reinstalled), and some other external drives to store my files.
It's been quite difficult to deal with all this Data and Screen problems, and now the Macbook's performance is decreasing every day. It's been slower to process operations and to launch the applications. Sometimes, the system does not even sleep anymore when the laptop is closed, or it takes so long time to sleep that it just sleeps when I open it again. Besides, sometimes the mouse pointer disappear, and some bizarre graphics take its place.
Don't forget: It's a 1,5-year-old Macbook, with 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM and the O.S. is installed for no longer than 4 months. It is supposed to work better, I guess.
I saved a lot of money to buy a good computer, and to get rid of the endless issues I had with PCs. That issues never were so serious with the ones I face now with Macbook.
Even if I pay R$1200 to replace the screen, with the money I don't have, I would still stand these performance issues, which seem to have come with this problematical laptop. I hope to have some solution from Apple, if it want to deliver what it promises and want to keep a customer.
Otherwise, I will have to change to another system platform and another computer manufacturer, to see if I stop throwing money away with these devices. I think that maybe at least, the cost-benefit ratio will be higher.
Did anybody receive contact from Apple support about these screen problems?

Well, your first issue is pretty clearly just some bad RAM, and it sounds like even the replacement RAM was bad. Who knows if the people who put it in had any kind of clue what they were doing. I've seen repair shops where people are smoking in the same room they do repairs.
Second problem sounds typical of a failing HDD. It's a fairly common problem with laptops... Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer... Probably the single most common problem with laptops no matter who makes them. People get this notion in their heads that the "portable" aspect of laptops means you can pick them up and carry them all over while turned on. Which you can... If you don't mind dramatically shortening the life of the HDD. What "portable" REALLY means with laptops, is that they are easy to move if you put them into a powered down state. They should NEVER be moved around when in normal operation. And since you seem to do a bit of traveling, if you're on a plan, and there's turbulence, you should shut the laptop off until it smooths out.
The screen cracking could have something to do with the rather sudden change in climate. Germany isn't exactly the frozen tundra, but it is a pretty different climate from Brazil, and changes in things like humidity could cause problems. The laws of thermodynamics tell us that things expand as they heat up, so if there's already a crack somewhere, it could easily get worse as a result of increased heat.
And since your initial hard drive was already starting to fail, it hasn't magically stopped failing since being removed from the system, so obviously performance is going to get worse.
At this point, it's pretty much impossible to tell where the damage was done, so you're probably just out of luck. The people in Germany could have screwed something up, or the people in Brazil, it could have been environmental damage, and it's possible the defect was always there, it just didn't manifest until recently. There's just no way to tell for sure. So Apple is unlikely to do anything for you.

Installation and performance wonderful!

Just completed installation and testing of Aperture 3. 20K images, mostly RAW from Canon 40D and 5DM2 (11 to 23 MB RAW files), around 300GB.
Ran Consistency Check and then Rebuild on Aperture 2 libraries before starting move to Aperture 3.
Backed up Aperture 2 Libraries on several hard drives (belt and suspenders).
Installed from Ap 3 disk.
Did software updates re slideshows and new RAW update.
Turned off Faces (can run this later).
Did not reprocess files, just the update. I will reprocess as needed, when I want to use new tools on old files.
Update on both Mac Pro (2006, 2.66GHZ, 7GB ram) and MacBook Pro (2008, 2.5 GHZ, 4 GB ram). No other application slowed down at all during update. Update took about two hours on each machine.
Library and adjustments are very snappy.
Printing went exceedingly well, after re-entering my presets.
Image Browser shows Aperture library.
Not a single problem so far. I've spent almost a week reading the posts here and I've seen all the problems some people have had.
In my view, a very, very impressive new version.

I know it really probably will not help but I submitted a bug report.
"17-Feb-2010 12:16 PM Brian Hursey:
Summary:
Major issue with Aperture 3 when converting A2 library's and projects to A3.
Steps to Reproduce:
Senerio 1. Open an existing aperture library. It tells you you will need to convert the library conversion only gets to about 5%.
Senerio 2. Importing and not converting an existing A2 library into a A3 library.
Senerio 3. Reprocessing masters on a imported A2 project.
Expected Results:
Conversion, importing processing needs to keep from locking up the system and making it unusable.
Actual Results:
Uses all systems resources and creates a 43+ gig swap file. Used 100% of both cores of my 2.0 ghz 2009 mac mini, and used all of the ram.
Regression:
System: Spring 2009 Mac mini. 2.0 ghz core duo, 2 gigs of DDR3 ram, Snow Leopard 10.6.2 , Aperture 3.
Notes:
Possible work a rounds 32bit mode will test tonight. "

There we have it, I think that that is all you need to know to perhaps give opinions and advice. Allow me to elaborate on why I am posting today after browsing this wonderful forum for the last two weeks. (...and by the way, my hat's off to some of you knowledgeable regulars for helping out a lot of newbies and folks in trouble!) Without further adieu:
Problem #1: POWER ISSUE
When, or if, I remove AC Power from my PC for whatever reason I run into a problem in which after reconnecting the AC Power and attempting to turn on the computer it goes into a 3-5 second startup loop in which the PC does not post, but rather cycles power to all of the components indefinitely. I notice the LEDs on my optical drives cycling repeatedly ad infinitum until I power off using the 4-second hold method, and then press the power button again. At this point the PC boots up fine, and boots up fine going forward from all restarts and shut downs. How strange? I've never, EVER, encountered something like this before.
Problem #2: PERFORMANCE ISSUE
This PC has a handful of serious performace issues.
3dMark03 scored horribly.
Prime95 runs ridiculously slow although there are no erros! It runs much more quickly on my work PC which is a PIII 866mhz with 384MB of PC133 RAM.
I receive, on no regular frequency, or while doing anything in particular, Explorer memory errors. Not BSOD's mind you, but "...blah blah blah referenced memory address xxxxx-xxxxx and could not be written". This causes Explorer to restart itself, blowing away the start menu, task bar, and any Explorer windows open. They reappear, of course, without incident.
The most off performance issue of all is that when opening an Explorer window for either of my IDE HDs, designated D and E drives, I find that when using the highlighting rectangle tool the Explorer window freezes or lags. I can double-click and open or move/copy files without incident, but if I attempt to highlight by this method this halt or lag occurs.
Also, since my update of the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.7, and then to 1.8 system startup times prior to Windows loading are HORRID. I have disabled just about everything, and yet the SATA BIOS loads for 5 seconds, and then I must wait 20 seconds for Windows itself to come to the login screen. No other BIOS related issues to report per se, but this is terrible for what should be a blazingly fast computer.
Now let's see.. what have I tried to do to repair the issues?
1) 2 BIOS flashes. First from 1.2->1.7, and then from 1.7->1.8. Ostensibly this was just "because". The power user need to have the latest! I noticed the incorrect CPU temperature being reported, however.. This led to me buying this massive ThermalTake HSF to replace my stocker. I also added more thermal goop than I ever have before, as well as a PCI slot fan before I became aware that it was a BIOS issue! GRRRR MSI.
2) I thought perhaps for the one issue that one of the hard drives was an issue, and even perhaps for power, but I replaced each with new drives and tested all 4 on another PC. NO problems. Also I should perhaps mention that my IDE drives are all hooked up using Antec Cobra cables. Expensive yes, but why the hell not, right? I've never seen a hang-off grounding wire for IDE before. Decided not to use them as I could think of a great place to screw them in, nor have other PC using them had trouble skipping the ground wire.
3) I unplugged every molex cable, the 4-pin CPU power, and the 20-pin ATX power and rerranged them all - as well as removed and then reinserted the RAM.
4) I tried changing my memory timings and power management settings, etc in BIOS. Nothing seem to impact the issue. I didn't fiddle with the voltages, but I should not need to running the RAM at SPD or lower settings and without overclocking the system at all!
5) Another issue that I had that seems to have vanished, come back, vanished, and then come back a "little bit" is my USB ports. When set to enable legacy devices in BIOS my USB items like my Logitech wireless keyboard would just cycle power and refuse to function. Also my UPS connected VIA USB seems to sometimes handshake with Windows and sometimes not. I've tried using all of the different ports, etc but the problem remains. I NEED 6 ports for my devices so it is all that I could do!
6) I have an Enermax 550w EG651P-VE(FMA) with 36 amps on each voltage rail on it's way, and it should arrive tomorrow. Despite all of the crap regarding power supplies that I see on this board I am not confident that it's the problem. That Antec PSU should be able to hold it's on with 20 amps on the +12v channel. C'mon now. I build a nearly identical system with the same power supply for a customer and he has no problems at all. He also has 3 HDs, same motherboard, etc.. the only difference is he has but one optical drive and a 2800+ rather than a 3200+. That power difference should be decimal nature in amps needed.
...oh and the sound card is in PCI slot 3, for those that remember the glory days of sound card IRQ issues that Creative was once notorious for... oh, and I disable the ethernet boot device, etc so my slow startups should not be related. My serial ATA drive is also on connection 1 of the VIA controller.. Promise can kiss my a**.
Soooo.. Show me what a n00b I am, oh great ones. I've built over 100 PCs since 1998 for myself, friends, families, and customers... and I've never seen an issue like this one! I'm no dummy, but please don't assume too much. Other pros on here know full well you can forget the most simple mundane detail in spite of experience! I want to solve this problem. I am on the verge of shelling out for a new motherboard and processor of the 939 pin variety.. and am now wary of MSI's long awaited socket 939 K8 Neo2 board despite it's awesome reviews. MSI has never really given me trouble before.. but I don't really want to spend money to the order of $200+ for that damned Gigabyte board. Gigabyte has always been good to me as well. Save my wallet! PLEASE!!!
Thanks so much everyone, I tried very hard not to leave out any details!

The startup problem might just be a screwy psu. Your antec *should* be able to power your stuff just fine, but maybe it is defective in some strange way.
What is your 3dmark03 score? If it is 3000-4000, (approx perf. level of ati 9600xt), then it is fine.
Check your memory using memtest86+, and try underclocking it to ddr333.
UNplug usb devices, and see if it speeds up boot. Also, I would not recommend bios 1.8 since people seem to have some troubles with it.
Also, try disabling agp fast writes, disabling spread spectrum, and maybe boosting ram voltage a tiny bit.
Try booting without your audigy plugged in, and try booting barebones (nothing but 1 hard drive with os) and see what happens.
I'm no expert, but you might get lucky trying these steps.

ATPO Check and performance Issue

Hi All
We had performance issues for ATP check from R/3 to APO and while we asked SAP for help SAP responded saying the data volume for table TTSTR is high and we need to delete unnecessary data by running report -/SAPAPO/SCHED_DELETE_TSTRS and ZZSTRDELE. After running these two reports in test environment we found the data volume has reduced to 96 records from 105000 records. We asked SAP to know whether this is safe to run this and got response that we need to be carefull while running these as data is permanently deleted by this
Can anybody tell whether its completely safe to run these two reports or we may delete genuine Time Streams by running these?
Regards
Mridul

Mridul,
It seems very odd that you would open a dialogue with SAP, and then when you needed further information about their proposal, you didn't go back and ask them the question you have now posted here.
Although I have only run this report a couple of times, I have never had any problem running report /SAPAPO/SCHED_DELETE_TSTRS For more info, refer to their supporting note.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1254606
I can't comment on report ZZSTRDELE, since I have never heard of it, nor does it exist in any APO system I am currently working on.
If you have doubts about SAP's recommendations, I suggest you go back to your message and respond to their last reply, or if the old message is closed, raise a new message. That's what you pay your support money for.
Best Regards,

Generic extraction loading and performances issues

hi,
any one can give the details about the generic extraction loading as well as performance issues.
advance thanks
regards
praveen

Hi,
when there is no suitable business content datasource we go for creating generic data source.
by using generic data source we can extract data present in single or multiple tables.
If the data is present in the single table we go for generic data source extracting from table.
If the data that is to be extracted is present in multiple tables and the relation between the tables is one to one and if there is a common field in both the tables we create a view on these tables and create a generic data source extracting from view.
if you want to extract data from different tables and there is no common field we create a info set on these tables and create a generic datasource extracting from query.
if you want to extarc the data from different tables and the relation is one to many or many to many we create a generic data source from function module.
If we extarct from function module ,at run time it has to execute the code and brings the data to BW.so it degrades the loading performance.
regards,

CRYSTAL Reports 2010 for VS 2010 Installation and Deployment issues

On Installing Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 the Crystal Report Viewer in the Toolbox reports itself as Version 13.0.2000.0. When dragging said viewer onto an ASPX Page it: -
1) Comes up with the wrong version: - Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304", NOT 13.0.2000.0!
2) The ADE visualisation of the ASPX Page comes up with the following error: - "Error Creating Control - ContentPlaceHolder1. SessionState can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true. ...............
In my Web.Config file enableSessionState is set to true AND System.Web,SessionStateModule is referenced in <httpModules> the message is therefore less than helpful.
3) Surprisingly when I correct the Version to 13.0.2000.0, the same error happens. Even more surprisingly the page builds and in the development environment the CrystalReportViewer works@#@!! Unfortunately when deployed to a production Web Serrver W2K8 x64 and IIS7.x the page loads but the viewer does not, no errors are caught, the event viewer log is happy. (The click-once Runtimes x32 and x64 have been installed on the server).
The same code works fine in VS2008 targetting CR 2008.
How do I:
1) Get CR2010 for VS2101 Installed Correctly?
2) Deploy The Viewer to a production server?

This is a known issue (unfortunately, no KB created yet as I just duplicated and reported the issue to QA (tracking number; ADAPT01506220) two days ago).
The issue appears only on computers with side by side install of .NET 2008 and .NET 2010.
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1) Remove the following from the web.config:
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
2) Open the form that has the viewer on it, go to code behind and replace this:
<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web"; tagprefix="CR" %>
with:
<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web"; tagprefix="CR" %>
3) Go to the Properties of the project, select references and remove crystaldecisions.web of version 10.5.3700
4) In the Properties, click the Add button and then the .NET tab and select crystaldecisions.web version 13.0.2000.0
5) Recompile.
Distribute the CRVS2010 runtime.

64 bit MSI:

BTW. the same issue exists with WIN apps. The fix here is much easier; Remove all CR 10.5.3700 references from the project and add references to 13.0.2000 assemblies. (tracking number; ADAPT01506310).

----Constraints and Performance issues----

Hi all,
I have a major concern and I would like ur suggestion on the best way to handle it.
I have a staging table cust_staging. I have 2 target tables customer, customer_address which must be populated from this staging table.
The customer key in all 3 tables is the primary key. For table customer_address, the customer_key is also referenced from the customer table.
Incremental data will be available in the staging table (aorund 0.2 million) and the customer table would have appx 2 million records.
The concern I have is that i have to insert/update this information into the target tables without disabling the foreign key constraints.
I tried to insert into both the target tables with the constraints enabled but the mapping just hangs and I am forced to kill the process. I had tried using a single mapping to populate both tables and when that was going into hang mode, i tried with first customer and then another mapping for customer_address. This also just goes on hang mode.
Next I tried to disable the constarint and enable it again in the mapping itself. My concern here is that if I do a blind insert and when I re-enable the constraints, if there is a violation, the target table may goto an unusable state and my target table will become non usable.
My concern here is how to tackle this problem. Can i first disable the constraints, incorporate some logic using the pre-mappings wherein I can apply business rules to check the constraints explicitly and then redirect the bad records to reject and other records to the actual target.
Please do let me know how I should handle this situation in OWB bearing in mind the performance issues also.
we use owb 9.2.

HashSet and performance issue

Hello all:
When I was in a project, I was told that HashSet was once used but abandoned since it has a performance issue in operations like insert or update. Is it true? and why is it? I don't know about the implementation of HashSet, maybe it's slow for the same reason like ArrayList?
And if it's the case, can we write a customized set and how?
Thanks,
Sway

Filling an HashSet is slower than ArrayList because HashSet has to check if an item is already present before adding it (very usefull to prevent duplicate entries).
Here's a small test you're free to complete if you want to test other methods :
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
        // Test on ArrayList
        long startL = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            list.add(Integer.valueOf(i - (i%2)));
        long endL = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("List\t(" + list.size() + ")---> \t" + (endL-startL) + " millisec.");
        // Test on HashSet
        long startS = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            set.add(Integer.valueOf(i - (i%2)));
        long endS = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("Set \t(" + set.size() + ")---> \t" + (endS-startS) + " millisec.");
    }Output :
List     (100000)--->      39 millisec.
Set      (50000)--->      112 millisec.

Number of Workitem Containers and Performance Issues

Hi All,
Is there a major performance issue based on the number of workflow containers.
I know its recommended that the containers should be single line rather multiline and to keep the number of containers less
Did anyone face some performance issue with many containers and any idea on what is the minimum number to keeping performance into consideration.
Thanks,
Charan.

Performance does not come in for Workflow container but it is also a good practise to make the number of Workflow container less. Generally if you consider a sophesticated Workflow Expert who is only into developing will have the minimum of Workflow container. But if that same expert has experience in Support Project where he has to analyse Wflow developed by other expert then it is always handful to maintain all the meaningful information in the Workflow container. I will recommend to use minimum of Workflow container element but this should not sacrifice the information Container element.
Thanks

How to create report with two independent queries and templates?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to use two queries in Data Template. Now, these queries are unrelated and I need to display data from these two queries in my report. Can anyone let me know how to do this?

Hi Thanks alot...It works.
Is it possible to create two independent SQL queries too and display the o/p from both queris in report?
Thanks alot in advance.

Use of HttpSession and Performance Issues

I am working on an application where we are storing data in a user's HttpSession. The application consists of several modules. Each module consists of sub-modules. A sub-module contains various data which is display to the user as multiple tabs with each tab displaying a JSP. The data displayed on each JSP is stored in the HttpSession for a given browser window. So if the user only has one browser window open there will be one entry in the HttpSession for that window containing the data for the various tabs of the displayed sub-module.
This effort has been a transition of a legacy Powerbuilder application over to the Web. We have noticed, along with the users :( some delays in displaying data. We only connect to the database during the initial retrieve of the data. Once the data for a sub-module is retrieved it is displayed and stored in the HttpSession. As the user makes modifications we modify the appropriate structure in the HttpSession. When the user Saves the data, that is when we make a connection to the back end database.
What is the best way to determine if there are true performance issues or whether we are just experiencing the cost of doing business across the Web?
Does using HttpSession cause potential performance issues?
We are also using the Netui tags in the JSP's and we have discovered some overhead when tag ids are used. In most places we have removed the tag ids since extra script is generated when they are used in conjunction with the Netui tags. This has helped in some places with the rendering of data on a page.
Anyone have any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Michelle

Is anybody using MODEL in production?
How is the performance - is there any real problems?I used a MODEL query last year to simulate a FIFO queue and calculate average stock prices.
It performs pretty well, but the volume of data is small though (~200k rows processed per batch session).

Stability and Performance Issue With Aperture 3

I'm running Aperture 3.0.3 on my iMac. This is a switch from Adobe products and I'm having a ton of stability and performance problems.
Environment:
* My library is about 32,000 images, about 1/3 of which are 21 megapixel, the remainder are 10 megapixels or smaller.
* I have no smart albums.
* All images are referenced and live on an external FW800-connected RAID5 array. The library lives on my internal drive.
* I have an Apple Cinema display connected through the mini-DVI port.
Here's what's happening. Initially, Aperture starts up fine and things are peachy. After a few adjustments -- particularly cloning or patching, rendering becomes slow. It becomes slow as in a minute or more. On a 21 megapixel file, this is an incredible productivity killer. Here is what I've tried to make Aperture go faster (not all at the same time):
- Log in holding the shift key to make sure nothing but core system stuff is running
- Rebuild Aperture library
- Defragment internal hard disk using iDefrag
- Export a subset of images to a separate library and work on them there
None of these has had the desired effect. Worse, if I switch to full-screen mode, the whole interface becomes balky and can become unresponsive to the point where the only way out is to cold reboot the computer. Cmd+TAB doesn't even work.
I can't imagine this is an experience shared by many users of the screaming would be deafening. Lightroom and Photoshop are insanely fast by comparison so it can be done -- and on this computer.
What are the best practices for speeding up Aperture?
Thanks,
Steve

Have you tried the Bergsma BAsh?
Many of us who have upgraded our library's over time have cleaned out caches using a technique discovered by Matthew Bergsma . It cleans out some obsolete files that significantly slow aperture 3 down.
Here's what you should do:
Quit aperture
Navigate to your aperture library.
Ctrl click library and select show package contents
Open the thumbnails folder and drag contents to trash.
Then delete the entire contents of the following cache folders:
Hard Drive/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/Your username/Library/Caches
You may also like to delete the preferences file but that's up to you.
~/Preferences/Library/com.apple.aperture.plist
Open Aperture:
Rebuild Thumbnails click library - photos
Then select one photo and apple(command) A to select all.
Then go to the photo menu and choose generate thumbnails.
It'll take a while to go through them all but once it's all done Aperture 3 should zip along
You can read Matthew's original post:

Memory management in jelly bean xperia tablet s and performance issues

Most used apps are always in memory.
while recent apps few remain in memory untill memory is full.
this is how memory management is supose to work.
pretty much same as windows 7
but if this true then why are games lagging ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3TwBlW5ibk
When their not enough memory games i suspect lagging.
if their not enough memory recent apps getting killed to free up ram.
why does't this happen ?
And why are their apps in memory that i never use ?
tv sideview never use why its in memory ?
social life again never use again using memory
reader widget again using ram again never use at all
music unlimited again in memory never actualy use
Like i say'd most used apps are in memory all the time while rest is in cache.
But my most used apps are never in ram untill i start them
now if disabled lot apps my tablet become much faster respondsive.
Can sony plz plz plz plz fix memory management stop saying you did ?
You maybe reduced random shutdowns by like 90% or 95% perhaps even 99.99%
Before random shutdowns happend because of broken memory management, which obviously still broken as i see lag in games
sony apps use way to much ram, stop treating it like a computer with infinity amount of ram

I rooted my tablet, and when looking at the processor speed in SetCPU, Sony uses a governor for power management that makes the tablet run jagged... I changed the power governor to ondemand, and got MUCH better smoothness and performance, while not sacrificing my battery life. You should try it out, maybe that'll help with games and such.
