URGENT: SAVE_DATA takes forever to execute

Urgent, please advise.
In the planning layout all the planning functions work fine. When a user tries to execute SAVE_Data standard SAP function, the system takes forever to execute, and times out. NO matter how many records are to be processed, 76 vs 30000. This is a standard SAP function, and it did work before fine, what is the possible problem?
Thanks!

1. Run BPS_Stat0 and see where it is going wrong.
2. Does this happen in multi area set up?
3.  Try to do the same operations and save in BPS0. If the system saves in BPS0, then you have to relook at the folder configuration.
4. Let me know what kind of functions you have in the layout.
5. You can also check the values in the variables.

  • Query takes forever to execute

    This query executes forever:
    select count(*)
    from VIEW_DOCUMENT
    where exists
    select VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM.documentID
    from VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM
    where VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM.documentID=VIEW_DOCUMENT.documentID
    Here's what's inside VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM:
    select *
    from DOCUMENT_ITEM
    join VIEW_USER
    If I replace "join VIEW_USER" with "join USER" the query executes normally in few seconds!
    This makes no sense because here's what's in VIEW_USER:
    select * from USER
    Does anybody know what are possible causes for this strange behaviour?

    Actually my query is much more complex, this is simplified version.
    In original query it's 100% not cartesian join.
    Result of my query is 2710 and result of Sven's query is 2711.
    My question is only why does joining a table work normally and why does joining a view "select * from table" take forever.
    I can't see execution plan because my query never ends. I have to kill the Linux process.

  • MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAtAsync takes forever to execute

    I'm using MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAtAsync in my Windows Phone 8.1 app, but sometimes the method takes too long time to execute (or in rare conditions it never finishes). I'd like to be able to skip the method execution in such cases, but I couldn't

    Can anyone help me with this case?

  • Executing SP in MSSQL takes forever?!

    Hi all,
    I need to execute a stored procedure in our database server, MS SQL Server 2000 and it takes forever...
    I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Version 2.2.0022
    My code:
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
                ("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://myhost:1433;DatabaseName=MYDB;User=me;Password=secret");
    CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{call my_sp(?,?)}");
    cs.setString(1,"param1");
    cs.setString(2,"param2");
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    ResultSet rs = cs.executeQuery();
    System.out.println("exec time: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) + " ms");
    ...Every time I execute this piece of code, it takes between 45-50 seconds...
    I have tried to execute my SP from DBVisualizer and it is the same result. But, when I execute my SP from Enterprise Manager it takes less than a second?! Why? What have I missed? Does anybody recognize this problem?
    Greatfull for any suggestions...
    Cheers
    //Anders =)

    For a single call, Statement is better in performance.This depends on the driver and the database. If you care about the last few milliseconds per call, measure your setup!
    According to my measurements, in Oracle Statement and PreparedStatement are exactly the same speed for the first call, and PreparedStatement is faster on subsequent calls.
    <speculation>
    In some databases, the driver needs to do two round trip calls for the first execution of a PreparedStatement:
    driver: Please prepare "select x from y where z = ?".
    database: Prepared, you can refer to that as "statement 7".
    driver: Execute statement 7 with parameter 42.
    database: Done, here is the result set: <...>
    In other databases, there is only one call:
    driver: Prepare "select x from y where z = ?" and execute with parameter 42.
    database: Use "statement 7" in later calls, and here is the result set: <...>
    Depends on the database protocol which form is possible. In both cases, second, third, etc calls only need one step, so they are faster.
    Another factor that affect PreparedStatement speed is how much work the database does to prepare something. Some databases may invoke a more time consuming compilation process for a PS than a plain Statement.
    </speculation>

  • Problem with Top N Query when no rows returned (takes forever)

    I have a table with 100 Million rows and I want to get the latest N records using:
    SELECT * FROM
    (SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE columnA= 'ABC' ORDER BY TIME DESC)
    WHERE rownum <= N;
    This works fine and is very fast when there are rows with columnA= 'ABC' but when there are no rows with columnA= 'ABC' the query takes forever.
    The strange things is that the inner query returns immediately when run on it's own when no rows with columnA= 'ABC' exist e.g.
    SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE columnA= 'ABC' ORDER BY TIME DESC
    So why does it take for ever for to run:
    SELECT * FROM (no rows inner query) WHERE rownum <= N;
    I have also tried using:
    SELECT * FROM
    (SELECT columnA, rank() over(ORDER BY TIME DESC) time_rank
    FROM tablename WHERE columnA='ABC')
    WHERE time_rank <= N;
    which returns instantly when there are now rows but takes much longer than the first query when there are rows.

    I cannot see a real difference:With histogram we can see a difference on the elapse when no row returned and into explain plan.

  • Java Apps take forever to load

    I wasn't sure where to ask this so i figured here.
    I recently reformated and reinstalled Win2k on my system. Prior to the format I had no problem with Java, all apps started up in no time flat.
    Now, just about any Java App (Netbeans and Azureus right now) take forever to start, upon executing the exe the program loads into memory and I can see the process there, but for about 2-3 minutes the programs will sit there and do nothing (no GUI loads). Like I said, I never had this problem before the format, and before the format my system was in worse condition than now.
    I did some searching and I saw a post that sounded like the problem I had, the guy was having issues trying to get apps to start (they'd hang for him too) and I think they figured out that the problem was that IPv6 was blocked or sometihng and that java was waiting for the timeout before it tried ipv4. I don't know if this is my problem though (nor do I know how to check if it is). Any ideas on what might be causing the hang ups?
    A few things. I run a virus scanner but have tried turning it off, the hang ups still occur.
    I do not run a firewall so there shouldn't be anything blocking IPv6.
    As I said before I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 Update 1.
    Thanks

    Well I still haven't figured it out but I did find out about the "Profiler" and ran that on azureus (and realized it was a big mistake) but did find out that the major hang up seems to be in the initial loading of stuff (I think, I could be wrong.)
    The pacticular Class that had trouble starting was,
    [Loaded sun.nio.ch.PipeImpl$Initializer from C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\jre\lib\rt.jar]
    After that loaded the program went the rest of the way fine, the output from the profiler for the main start up was:
    Flat profile of 63.24 secs (36 total ticks): Main Thread
    Interpreted + native Method
    22.2% 2 + 0 java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1

    33.3% 3 + 0 Total compiled
    Thread-local ticks:
    75.0% 27 Blocked (of total)
    11.1% 1 Compilation
    I have no idea what it means but maybe it'll help. Since I'm thinking the problem might be something internal like in windows I may just attempt another format and install and see if doing the install differently fixes the issue (might be an update or who knows what).
    I did notice the "Blocked" thing, is that refering to "blocking" calls? Or to something that wasn't allowed? Is that normal?
    Also, I'd try running the profiler on Netbeans and see where the hang up is on that as well (if its the PipeImpl or what), but I don't see a way to manually start Netbeans with Java so i can add a -verbose and -Xprof.

  • RegisterClient takes forever

    Hi.
    We are having a project at school now, making a messaging system with Chat and private message support. We made a Server class that access a MySQL database, and then use RMI to connect to the server with a Applet. Of course we need callback, since the server have to send all messages to all Clients (in that particular Group, etc.) So in the Applet we have made a inner class ClientImpl that extends UnicastRemoteObject and implements Client :
    interface CatChatClient extends Remote{
         public void sendMsg(String msg, String groupArea, String userName) throws RemoteException;
         public void updateUserList() throws RemoteException;
         public void updatePMsg() throws RemoteException;
    then in the Applet we do :
    CatChatClient appletClient = new CatChatClientImpl();
    server.registerClient(appletClient, userName);
    This all works fine. Chatting and private msg'ing is all fine. The problem though is that while the Applet loads fast (like 4-5 seconds) when we run it from a machine at school, it takes 4-5 minutes to load it if I run it from my home-computer. The computer we run the server at is of course located at my school, so Id expect it to load faster there, but 4-5 minutes, thats just insane. After applying a dozen System.out.println()'s to the Applet I found out that its the :
    server.registerClient(appletClient, userName);
    that takes all this time to execute. So my question is, why is this ? I can understand that it takes longer than it does at school. But other server.methodXXX() calls are just as fast from home as at school. Its just that registerClient(...) method that takes forever.
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Is the connection speed to the network the same as from school, at home?
    Consider also the hardware platform you're running your server at school on. That may be the problem.

Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

    i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
    Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
    i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
    Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
    Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

  • Baseline deployment takes forever. Intended?

    I have a Configuration Baseline comprised of just a couple dozen Group Policy queries (registry).   
    Whether I choose to "Monitor" or "Remediate", it takes forever. 
    I deployed the baseline with Remediate set to a test collection of 1 computer, 5 hours ago, and it's still in an "unknown" status on the Summary of that deployment. That computer has been powered on and online all day. I have also issued several
    Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycles to it about twice an hour, and still, the SCCM 2012 console is reporting nothing done to that machine. It's actually not even showing up in the tabs as "Unknown", but from the preview pane on the Monitoring
    > Deployments workspace, it shows 1 asset as being in an unknown state.
    Does it normally take this long? 
    I did check it to even deploy outside of maintenance windows, even though I currently have NO maintenance windows configured. 

    Here's another case where I'll recommend trying to learn the feature via a TechNet virtual lab. Until you guys all try that first, you are going to keep hearing it in my responses :-)
    No, it does not normally take five hours. But some comments for you.
    Obviously you start with creating configuration items, which are then added to a configuration baseline. You then deploy the configuration baseline to members of a collection. The maintenance window option for the deployment only has to do with remediation
    of the baseline, so if the CI is not configured to remediate, or the deployment is not, then the maintenance window option has no meaning here.
    So the deployment is targeted to a collection (so make sure the computer is a member of the collection and is listed as a client in the collection (not just a resource)). Then the computer needs to retrieve policies (which apparently you've done numerous
    times). Configuration Manager has a built-in randomization before evaluating any baselines (an hour if I remember, could be two hours). But you said it has been five, so you should be past that. To verify, check the Configurations tab on the client's Configuration
    Manager Properties to see if the baseline appears, and if so, has a status.
    Then, the client sends state messages to the MP (which happens every 15 minutes by default). From there, the MP forwards to the site server, and gets processed.
    You then have to execute a Run Summarization cycle on the deployment to see updated status.
    All this is covered in the Settings Management lab on TechNet - that is a great way to see the feature work end to end in a virtual environment - and with the lab doc and commentary - to learn the feature before trying on your own :-)

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR Takes forever to boot.

    Specs:
    K7N2 Delta ILSR Mobo
    Athlon xp 2500
    Kingston Hyper X 2700 DDR 512mb (its on the list)
    Geforce 2MX 32mb AGP videocard (I dont play games)
    3 Com 56k Win Modem
    IBM GXP120 60 gig ata133 Hard drive
    Pine 12X DVD drive
    LG 24x10x48 CD Burner
    Antec 300W power supply
    The problem is that it takes forever to install and boot windows with faster processors for some reason. I origianlly built this system with my old Athlon 1.33 and it had these problems.  I then tried a 900mhz athlon and it worked great, so I figured I damaged my 1.33 somehow.  I ordered a 2500+ and a zalmann cpu cooler and now am back to where I was, when the system starts it  seems very unstable and the screen goes blank for 10 minutes while its booting.  It shows about 3 seconds of the starting windows screen then the screen will go blank for a while anf there will be no hard drive activity then it will come back about 10 minutes later and then boot.  Sometimes the system will work fine then sometimes I cant even open my computer i just get the searching flashlight icon where my drives should be.  I have updated to the lastet BIOS.  Also while installing windows I get ocasional long pauses where it is doing nothing at all then it will just magically conitnue and do it in a fashion I would expect a machine of this speed to do.  

    Hmm not sure about the cable position on the CD drives, ill have to check that when I get home.  All the jumpers are set correcly, and the hard drive is all by itself and its on the right connector.  Thanks for the ideas, this problem is really killing me, I havent had these kind of hardware problems in years.  The thing I dont get is why it works good with the 900mhz and not with the 1.33 or 2500+

  • HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

    HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not.  I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again.  How can I fix this?

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

  • MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-857D takes forever to erase 100MB file from CD-RW disc

    My new MBP works phantastic. Only one thing is weird. The MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D takes forever to erase contents on a CD-RW, about 5-10 times longer than my nearly 5 years old IBM Thinkpad T30.
    Is this normal and expected?
    MacBook Pro 15'' 2.33 Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM 160 GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   IBM ThinkPad T30 XP Pro

    It might take longer, it depends on the type of drive your Thinkpad had. Most notebooks, even older ones, have 8x DVD ROM drives, while due to the thin nature of the MBP it has a 6x DVD ROM drive, which means it does work slower.

  • Firefox (for android) takes forever to load or doesn't load at all

    Firefox will not load or takes forever to load (i.e. up to 3 or 4 minutes) mostly, I get an "unable to connect" "offline mode" error. Other apps that use data are able to connect to the network, but FF...not so much.
    I'm on a Nexus 5 running kk 4.4.2

    fixed the "offline mode" problem by following the about:config directions
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962245]
    unfortunately, pages still take so long to load it basically renders Firefox useless.

  • Takes forever to open AOL...WHY?

    Every single time I try to open AOL from the web, to get my email, with Firefox, it takes forever to open!!!!!

    How long does it usually take from taping the icon until you can take photos?
    My iPhone 4 takes 5 seconds, since you're using iPhone 4S I would imagine it should take no more 5 seconds.
    Having said that, holding the Home and Sleep/Wake button until your iPhone restarts has shown to show improvements in overall performance (since it quits all applications). Users I know have also experiance better performance by updating to the latest version of iOS.
