Very slow performance in every area after massive data load

Hi,
I'm new to Siebel. I had a call from customer saying that virtually every aspect of the application (login, etc) is slow after they did a massive data loading ~ around 15GB of data.
Could you please help to point out what would be the best practice for this massive data loading exercise? All the table statistics are up to date.
Anyone encountered this kind of problem before?

Hi ..
Better to troubleshoot Yosemite.
Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
As for Safari, might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

E50 very slow performance

my E50 is giving very slow performance anyway to tune it up ?? dosn't hangs but its slow ?? any solution ps whats the best antivirus to install in E50 ?

I don't use your same workflow, and I assume you're shooting RAW. However, after I have built 1:1 previews in LR (which takes a LONG time), when I click on a file to decide if it's sharp or not, it still takes 5-10 seconds for each file to load. And my computer isn't slow, and I have the same issue on my laptop, which is new and fast. I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this problem, nor much acknowledgement from Adobe. My files are from a Nikon D7100 with 24 megapixels, so the file size is likely a factor.
If you are shooting the type of subjects where you use 1:1 previews primarily to determine sharpness, you could consider Photo Mechanic (unfortunately it costs $150) as the first step in your workflow. It uses the embedded jpg files in the RAW file, so it loads 1:1 jpg previews almost instantly. Sports and nature photographers use this product all the time, mostly to delete losers.

ok, stopped syncing in System preferences and even (horror) deleted the file which reappeared in seconds.
now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

Have exact same issue on my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

Formatted Search with DI leads to a very slow performance - HELP....

Hello There
I have defined some formatted search in OPCH - everything is working fine.
I have added some logic to this form via the DI.(handlling 1 item press_event), and I get a very very slow performance - the ADDON-EXE jumps TO 230MEGA of memory, and entering values to each row in the tables/item in the form takes about 15 seconds.
Any suggestions?
RGDS
HAGAI

Hi Hagai,
Normally an addon written using the DI would take up 60-80MBs.
Are you filtering out all events except for the item press event for the form? If you are not filtering events then this can have quite a drastic affect on performance.
What logic have you got behind the press event? If the addon exe is ballooning out to 230MB then it suggests that there is either a problem with a memory leak or that an error is occuring in the code. I would recommend putting try/catch clauses at suitable places in the code and maybe specifically setting objects to null and calling the .NET garbage collector to try and minimise the potential for memory leaks.
Are you sure that it is the combination of the formatted search and the addon that is causing the problem, i.e. if you take away the formatted search but leave the addon do you still get poor performance or does everything speed up?
Hope this helps,
Owen

Can anyone help what to do
Thanks
Senthil

Hello,
did you discover what the cause was for this phase running so slow? And how long did it take to complete in the end?
We are currently running an upgrade of our Development system and have struck the same issue.
I killed the upgrade after the phase had been running for 4 hours and restarted it, but it looks like it is still going to run for a long time.

Acrobat very Slow performance (50% CPU usage)

My acrobat 9 PRO (9.3.2) has suddently started to use 50% of my CPU usage everytime a *.pdf document is opened.
It is the task Acrobat.exe which is the problem. This results in VERY slow performance and I cannot use the review function without adobe is crashing!
This has not always been a problem!
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall acrobat, without any luck!
Thanks
Peder

You probably have the same problem as I do. I use version 9.3.3 on a fairly powerful machine with Windows vista. In my case, the problem is related to the weblink.api (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/675941?tstart=0). I also uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired - nothing helps.

Hi Davis,
The culprit is the select inside the loop.
YOu should use for all entries instead .
I will show for one select, you do similar thing for others:
SELECT addrnumber name1 street city1 region post_code1 tel_number
      FROM adrc INTO table itab_adrc
for all entries in it_detail
      WHERE addrnumber = it_detail-adrnr.
sort itab-adrc by addrnumber.
LOOP AT it_detail INTO wa_detail.
read table it_adrc with key addrnumber = wa_detail-adrnr.
if sy-subrc = 0.
move fiedls of it_adrc into wa_detail.
endif.
ENDLOOP.

Very slow performance in Lightroom 3??

I just upgraded to Lightroom 3.0 and I am very suprised how slow it is!?! I don't have a very large library and I'm on two reasonably new computers yet the difference from Lightroom 2 (snappy performance) to Lightroom 3 (VERY sluggish) is quite suprising..
I'm using it on a XP and a Vista system with the same results...
Is anyone else experiencing this???
Thanks,
Ken

I've noticed a slow down in performance with Lightroom 3 as well. As far a looking around the forum for older threads, ...found older lightroom 1 and 2 threads.
Your Title "Very Slow Performance in Lightroom 3??" fits what I'm looking for just perfectly.

What are the frequent data load errors in production support?

what are the frequent data load errors in production support?

It is a long list. Here is some of them.
1. Idoc not arriving from source system.
2. previous processes failed.
3. change run unsucessful or did not run properly and data in master data is messed up.
4. invalid characteristics in the data.
5. Duplicate records found.
and on and on.

Clicking noise to the right of mouse pad, and very slow performance after updating software to Yosemite. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

So I recently updated to the latest Yosemite software (last night to be exact), and this morning i started to get a weird clicking and sort of grinding noise to the right of the mouse pad and extremely slow performance.

Very, very slow performance

Lightroom's performance on my computer has become, at times, intolerably slow. After rebooting my iMac and not opening any other programs or browsers, it just took about eight minutes to import 23 files, and a few more minutes to build 1:1 previews. When things are running fine this might take one minute. (I always build 1:1 previews on import and this happens with recently imported files as well as older ones, so it's not a question of having to build previews on the fly.) I've had extremely slow performance ("Loading") just moving from one photo to another in the Library and Develop modules or moving from one module to another, typically up to about 90 seconds, or when LR is "preparing the file" for export or edit in PS. But not always -- sometimes it's quite zippy -- and there's no pattern that I can see. Generally when this is occurring, memory "pressure" and CPU usage are normal, but it happens when usage is minimal as well. Occasionally there is a spinning beach ball but not usually.
My catalog has about 30k photos and very few presets of any kind. Probably 75% of these files have never been edited at all. I don't make hundreds of local adjustment, rarely more than ten in one image. I have about 40 Smart Collections with an average of several hundred images each. I rarely use Smart Previews. I optimize and back up the catalog every time I exit LR, which is a few times a week. My file/folder structure is simple and clean: /Pictures/year/day.
I'm running LR 5.4 on a mid-2011 iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB of memory. I have the Lightroom catalog and previews on the main drive, which is a 250GB SSD with about 100GB free. (Problem happened when my catalog was on different internal drive, too.) My pictures folder is on an internal drive with over 100GB available. I have the maximum cache size set to 50GB. I'm running Mavericks but it was just as slow under Mountain Lion. It was just as slow in earlier versions of Lightroom, major and minor. Other programs/apps run just fine on my computer, including Photoshop. (Generally, LR's performance is the same whether or not PS is running.) The only performance issue I've noticed since switching to Mavericks is that Finder stalls for several seconds every once in a while.
I've seen this Lightroom problem referred to on various forums, including Adobe forums, for a long time now -- years -- and I've never seen a definitive fix. I think I've answered all of the questions that are usually asked. Is there any solution to this? I use LR 30-40 hours per week. I'm tearing my hair out and the option of moving to another program would be the very last resort, but I might have to do that.

I don't use your same workflow, and I assume you're shooting RAW. However, after I have built 1:1 previews in LR (which takes a LONG time), when I click on a file to decide if it's sharp or not, it still takes 5-10 seconds for each file to load. And my computer isn't slow, and I have the same issue on my laptop, which is new and fast. I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this problem, nor much acknowledgement from Adobe. My files are from a Nikon D7100 with 24 megapixels, so the file size is likely a factor.
If you are shooting the type of subjects where you use 1:1 previews primarily to determine sharpness, you could consider Photo Mechanic (unfortunately it costs $150) as the first step in your workflow. It uses the embedded jpg files in the RAW file, so it loads 1:1 jpg previews almost instantly. Sports and nature photographers use this product all the time, mostly to delete losers.

It's very slow to access file server after installed SP1 of Win7.

I found it's become very slow to access shared files on file server after installed win7 SP1, (windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe), access same file, the win7 without sp1 is fast in 5 secs, but the pc with sp1 need more than 30 secs. And
I tried to removed the sp1, everything goes fine, access fast as others.
I don't understand what's the reason and which feature affected it, I believe the sp1 can help Win7 be more safety, but why the performance on it get worse.
And I didn't find the same question or tips on forum or website, do you really haven't the issue?

Very slow performance; external boot drive the cause?

Greetings.
I bought a 500 GB Hitachi drive for my iMac intending to install it myself. But, alas, I have an iSight iMac and I think it's beyond my ability to do the job. A Mac dealer nearby can do it for me, but wants the computer for two or three days, even thought the installation takes about an hour. They will not make an appointment for me to come in with it and wait.
So I installed it the drive in an OWC Mercury Elite case, cloned the original drive, and have been booting from the Hitachi via Firewire 400. Just about everything is running at well under previous speeds. Lightroom now takes as much as two to five minutes to spool a large file for printing and sometimes does not even send the file to the printer (in fairness, the latter issue happened sometimes with the internal drive – I wrote about it here before – but at least it didn't take a long time to spool the file, which has to happen each time I click "print" until at last it actually goes to the printer).
I'm getting slow performance from Safari (4.1.3), Mail (2.1.3), Lighroom 2, Photoshop (CS3). I can't say I've noticed problems elsewhere, but I rarely use other applications.
I have done all the usual maintenance tasks, besides those the computer does automatically. Repaired permissions. Emptied caches. Burned sage. Etc.
If this is the inevitable result of running from an external disk, then I'll have to brave the installation or pay someone to do it (which I would do immediately if I knew someone who would do it "while-u-wait").
If, however, this sounds like booting from the external drive should not be the problem, and there is something I might do to speed things up, I'd be grateful for your suggestions.
As always, thank you.

Too bad about the site redesign. I had a draft of this message started, then got busy. Now I have no idea where to look for it. (And what happened to the Preview function?)
ANYWAY… I talked to a tech person at Other World Computing about the problem. He was of the opinion that the iMac SHOULD be showing some slower response if booted from the external drive, but that maybe the sluggishness in this case was excessive. He had me run a hardware scan to see whether there were any bad blocks. After 24 hours, Speed Tools reported no problems. So now I have run every diagnostic and repair tool I know of and every one that was suggested (every one that I own, that is), and the computer is still hesitating so much that I just have to get up and walk away from it sometimes in order to stay sane.
I am booting from the original hard drive when I have to do extended internet research (Safari being the biggest speed offender), but run the iMac from the external drive when I have to do photo editing, since all my preferences, Lightroom libraries, etc., are located there. If I had the time to figure out just where the essential, and relevant, system and application files are located, I suppose that I could copy them and move them onto the internal drive. Then I could just use the external for storage of the image files (can't do that on the internal; there's not enough space). However, if what is going on (slowness issue) is indicative of a faulty drive, I'd rather not use it at all, even as a storage or backup drive.
Any thoughts? Do you suppose this might be a problem with the computer, not with the new drive? I'd hate to ask OWC to exchange it (even if they would do that) and then find out I've got the same trouble.
Thanks again in advance.
