Urgent:How to Speed Up the Response time for PDF Report of 500 pages

hi all
i am running the 9ias on Solaris and Generating some reports
Which fetches around 50,000 records and Display them in pdf format.
When i am ruuning the Query at Database level Response time is Very fast.
But when i Run the Report in Web Browser same report takes 7-8 minutes.
So it seems that the Conversion to pdf and Displaying it takes most of time.
Does any one has idea What parameter's needs to be changed/Caching ??? /
or any other ways or methods which can be used to Reduce the Response time.
(its once a monthly Report and User need to Download all the 500 pages as
a Single Document).
Any help / suggestion please
thanks
jai

You aren't by any chance calling a function in your repeating frame that in turn goes back and queries the database, are you? If so ... don't. We regularly do 500+ page PDF-file reports, and one thing we discovered early on was that repeatedly going back to the database while generating the report output (in our case, in calculations that were being done on each line of a report) slowed the output down by an order of magnitude. Instead, we now retrieve all the data needed for each report up front (via functions or views called in the initial SQL for the report), and just use Reports to format the output. MUUUUUUUCH faster -- 200 page reports that used to take 15 minutes to complete now complete in just seconds.
One way you can visually see if this is part of your problem is to watch the report execute in the Report Queue Manager application. If it spends all its time on the "Opening" stage then breezes through each page, this is not your problem. If instead it seems to take a long time generating each page, I'd suspect that this may be at least part of your delay.

How do I change the print orientation for PDFs with mixed orientation pages?

I'm sure this is a fairly basic and easily solvable issue, but I've been searching for a solution and can't find one for the life of me.
The issue: I'm printing a PDF that will be bound book-style, and the file contains pages with mixed orientations (both portrait and landscape). When I print the file, the landscape pages point the wrong way, to the left of the spine, when they should be pointing down to the right of the spine. I've adjusted the print settings for multiple test rounds, and nothing seems to work. Here's a visualization of the problem (apologies for the bad Paint art):
What the book is doing now when it prints:
What I need it to do:
Here's the caveat: I cannot just rotate all the landscape pages counter-clockwise in Acrobat for ease of printing, because it would remove the ability to scroll through the file quickly in Reader or a Web browser, and the same file needs to be both easily readable digitally AND print correctly.
Is this adjustment a print setting? Is this a tool I'm overlooking within Acrobat? Is this outside the scope of what is adjustable? All advice is welcome, and please feel free to ask any follow-up questions if I explained my problem unclearly.

If you are trying booklet printing, try to rotate the pages as needed before you print to the booklet. If you are print booklets without using professional imposition software, then Quite Imposing or Quite Imposing Plus should be considered. I believe they offer a demo version.

Is there a way to speed up the response time from the dock

Is there a way to speed up the response time for external hard drives from the dock? I have three external HDs but when I click on the alias in the dock there is always hesitation before it opens. I'm leaning towards the fact that it is just a result of the fact that the speed of the Mac is what it is. But, maybe there is something I can do to speed it up. The drives are plugged via usb directly to the Mac and they have there own power source. The curious thing is that they once were plugged into a large separately powered USB hub and I don't recall a lag like I have now. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Have you got the drives set up to spin down when not in use?
Have a look at the Energy Saver settings in System Preference on the Mac.
Make sure the "Put the Hard Discs to sleep when possible" box is not ticked.

Anyway to speed up the response time of E62/E61?

I bought the E62 and found it is considerably slower than most smart phones specially when compared with Blackberry andsets. It really takes a while to open the mails or applications/folders.
Is there any way we can improve the response time for E62?

How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session

Hi ,
How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session?
Example - I have a report based on the procedure ,when the user execute that it takes say 3 min. to return rows.
Is there any possible way to capture this session info. for this particular execution of query along with it's execution elapse time?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
2/ Run you procedure...
3/ Get end-time with :
v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
Hope it will help you.

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

Colin,
You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.

How to find the Response time for a particular Transaction

Hello Experts,
Am implementing a BAdI to achieve some customer enhancement for XD01 Transaction . I need to confirm to customer that after the implementation and before implementation what is the response time of the system
Response time BEFORE BAdI Implementation
Response time AFTER BAdI Implementation
Where can i get this.
Help me in this regard

Hello,
Within STAD, enter the time range that the user was executing the transaction within as well as the user name. The time field indicates the time when the transaction would have ended. STAD adds some extra time on using your time interval. Depending on how long the transaction ran, you can set the length you want it to display. This means that if it is set to 10, STAD will display statistical records from transactions that ended within that 10 minute period.
The selection screen also gives you a few options for display mode.
- Show all statistic records, sorted by star
This shows you all of the transaction steps, but they are not grouped in any way.
-Show all records, grouped by business transaction
This shows the transaction steps grouped by transaction ID (shown in the record as Trans. ID). The times are not cumulative. They are the times for each individual step.
-Show Business Transaction Tots
This shows the transaction steps grouped by transaction ID. However, instead of just listing them you can drill from the top level down. The top level will show you the overall response time, and as you drill down, you can get to the overall response time.
Note that you also need to add the user into the selection criteria. Everything else you can leave alone in this case.
Once you have the records displayed, you can double click them to get a detailed record. This will show you the following:
- Breakdown of response time (wait for work process, processing time, load time, generating time, roll time, DB time, enqueue time). This makes STAD a great place to start for performance analysis as you will then know whether you will need to look at SQL, processing, or any other component of response time first.
- Stats on the data selected within the execution
- Memory utilization of the transaction
- RFCs executed (including the calling time and remote execution time - very useful with performance analysis of interfaces)
- Much more.
As this chain of comments has previously indicated, you are best off using STAD if you want an accurate indication of response time. The ST12 (combines SE30 ABAP trace and ST05 SQL trace) trace times are less accurate that the values you get from ST12. I am not discounting the value of ST12 by any means. This is a very powerful tool to help you tune your transactions.
I hope this information is helpful!

How can I improve the response time of the user interface?

I'm after some tips on how to improve the response time to mouse clicks on a VI front panel.
I have data acquistion application which used to run fine, but after spending a couple of weeks making a whole bunch of changes to it I find that the user interface has become a bit sluggish.
My main GUI VI has a while loop running 16 times a second, updating some waveform charts and polling about a dozen buttons on the front panel.
There is sometimes a delay (variable, but up to 2 seconds sometimes) from when I click on a button to when it becomes depressed. I have wired the iteration terminal of the while loop to an indicator on the front panel and can see that the while loop is ticking over during the delayed response to the mouse click, so I know that the problem is not that the whole program is running slow, just the response to mouse clicks.
Also, just for debugging purposes, I have indicators of the iterations of all the main while loops in my program on the front panel, so I can see that there are no loops running abnormally fast either.
One thing I've tried is to turn off multi-threading, and this does seem to work - the response to mouse clicks is much faster. However, it has the side effect of making the main GUI while loop run less evenly. I was trying to get a fairly smooth waveform scrolling across the screen, and when multi-threading is off it gets a bit jerky.
Any other suggestion welcome..
(I am using LabVIEW 7.1, Windows 2000).

Mark.

Hi Altenbach,
Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions:
I am doing both DAQ board and serial data acquisition. I am using NIDAQ traditional for the DAQ board, and VISA for the serial. I have other similar versions of this program that do only DAQ board, or only serial, and these work fine. It was only when I combined them both into the same program that I ran into problems.
The multiple while loops are actually in separate VIs. I have one VI that acquires data from the DAQ card, another VI that acquires data from the serial port, another VI that processes the data and saves to file, and another VI, the GUI VI, that displays the data in graphs and charts. The data is transferred betwen the VIs via LV2 globals.
The GUI VI is a bit more complicated than I first mentioned. It has tab control, with 4 waveform charts on one page, 4 waveform graphs on another page, and 3 waveform graphs on another page. The charts have a history length of 2560, and 16 data points are added 16 times a second. The wavefom graphs are only updated once per minute.
I don't use the value property at all, but I do use lots of property nodes for changing the properties of the graphs and charts e.g. changing plot colours, Y scale range etc. There is only one local variable (for the Tab control). All the graphs and charts have data wired directly to their terminals.
I haven't done any profiling yet.
I am building arrays in uninitialised shift registers, but this is all well under control. As the experiement goes on, more data is collected and stored, and so the memory usage does gradually increase, but only to the extent that I would expect.
The CPU usage is 100%, but I thought this was always the case when using NIDAQ with DAQ cards. Or am I wrong about this? (As a side note, I am using NIDAQ traditional, but would NIDAQmx be better?)
Execution priority of the GUI vi (and all the other VIs for that matter) is set to normal.
The program is a bit large to post here, and I'm not sure if my company would be happy for me to publicise it anyway, so I suspect that this is turning into one of those questions that are going to be impossible to answer.
Just as a more general question, why would turning off multi-threading improve the user interface response?
Thanks,
Mark.

How to speed up the query time after adding order by

Hi,
In Form 6.0 front-end and 8i server, I put an "order by date
column desc" in Block Property and when I hit query button the
screen will bring up the most current date data instead of
oldest date data. The problem is slowing down the query time,
because the "order by" does the resorting work in the user temp
table space. The base table to be queried also contains two
varchar2(1500) columns and that also slow down the query time.
I am wondering if there is any other way to bring the current
records first without slow down the query speed ?
Any thought will be helpful and appreciated.
Thnaks!

What I have done is use hints to force the use of an index in
descending order. The part of the following example that
pertains to your question is the index_desc hint. Syntax and
suggestions for using hints are in the Oracle documentation.
The column you want to order desc by would have to be in an
index. The following example creates a view which you might not
need to do.
create or replace view v_sample_result as
select
/*+
first_rows
index ( sa )
index_desc ( t c_test_altk )
index ( r c_result_pk )
index ( lt )

"lost" my iPad. Will the GPS still work after battery dies? Also, how can I get the serial number for police report?

Please help! I "lost" my iPad at a local store. The GPS on my phone shows the iPad is still in the store (over 24 hours.) I've searched every square inch of the store and cannot find it. I fear it may have been "stashed" by an employee. The police need a serial number for a report. How do I get that? Will I still be able to locate it via GPS after the battery dies?

Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.

How to Dynamically Select the Data File for a Report at Print Time

How do you configure a Crystal report to ask for the file to be reported on as the report is being printed, and allow the user to browse to the file?
The environment is Crystal Reports XI, SP3, with ODBC connection to Sage Timberline Office data version 9.7. The client names their Payroll unposted time file each pay period, and also needs to report on their posted data file, depending on the time period for the report. The client will need to select both the date range and the file name.
I have created a SQL statement in Add Command in Database Expert, which prompts for a file name, but it does not let you browse to select a file on the computer.
Therefore, in the prompts when they print the report, the parameter offers the user a default file name similar to the name they currently use, so they only have to change the payroll period end date in the supplied file name to run the report successfully.
The client is concerned that sometimes a user will name their data file differently, and not know how to input the file name into the Crystal report prompt at print time.
My research on dynamic prompts showed you can link to fields inside the data record, but I did not see a way to dynamically link to select the actual files used in the report.
Another question is that the naming convention used by the SQL query is different than the basic Windows file name, but I think I can handle that issue.
The actual file name is typically similar to:
04-10-11 BP NEW.PRT
However, in the SQL query, the record ID looks like:
PRT_00-00-00 BP NEW__TIME
The SQL Statement using a parameter is:
SELECT
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE1"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job",
"JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME" AS "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job"="JOB1"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE1"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})
UNION ALL
( SELECT
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE2"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job",
"JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"{?NEWPRT}" AS "PRT_NEW__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job"="JOB2"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE2"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})

Hello,
Sorry you'll have to contact Sage on how to do this. We can help you once you get connected but we can't help you get around their connection methods.
There is no Preview Set Database Connection method you can use in CR Designer. The Designer assumes you select it first or use the Set Location option before previewing or refreshing the data.
If you are doing this in the Sage program itself we can't help you, you'll have to contact Sage for assistance.
Sage is an OEM Partner they are responsible for supporting their product and CR. If they have issues help you then they will contact us directly for assistance.
Thank you
