VI server runs slower under LV 7

Has anyone noticed VI server running slower under LabView 7 than 6.1?
I use a "Call By Reference Node" to programatically run a VI. This call seems to take at least a factor of three longer in LV 7 than 6.1. The code in each LV version is exactly the same.

Yes,
I have noticed that some of the functions of the VI Server as well as particular property nodes are a lot slower in LabVIEW 7 vs. LabVIEW 6. For instance, if you get the caption labels from a nested control (inside a cluster or array) it will take significantly longer than a regular control on the front panel. The further a control is buried, the longer it takes. I am not sure how to solve the problem though.

  • Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

    Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
    I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

    Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp.  However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.)  Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment.  If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
    Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware.  (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.)  So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
    In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini.  Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations.  (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.)  And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it.  Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series.  Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange.  While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
    If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series.  You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model.  From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop.  Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software.  (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice.  I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
    So yes, it will work.  But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

  • Why does office 2011 run slow under mountain lion?

    I was in an Apple Store and launched MS Office (Word or Powerpoint) on a new iMac they had on display.  It was very slow.  I rebooted and repeated the event from cold.  It made no difference.  Is there a problem with M.Lion and Office 2011?

    I suspect it isn't that the program is running slow it's just these programs aren't made by apple therefore could take up alot of RAM space so the more apps you have open the slower your system will be. Try downloading apple's iWork (pages, keynote and numbers) and quitting some apps. You should see a major difference. If you would like to stick with MS Office just quit your apps. I doubt it's the program.

  • Windows XP runs slow under bootcamp

    Back in 2006 I installed the beta bootcamp on my iMac and loaded winxp. All worked fine.
    Sometime after the beta expired my winxp started to run phenomenally slow (taking minutes to register a single keypress or mouse click). Virus scanner showed no problems and when booting to the Mac OS the system ran fine (thus no hardware issues).
    At that time I upgraded to Leopard in order to get the released version of bootcamp which seemed to solve my slow winxp issue.
    Now I am back to the same problem with the extremely slow winxp operation, no bugs found by the virus scanner and the Mac OS runs fine when I boot to it.
    Is bootcamp somehow interfering with the operation of windows?

    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit then. While unsupported it works and your best bet but takes a couple extra steps.
    A dedicated drive for Windows.
    Microsoft Security Essentials for AV/malware
    Latest Nvidia etc drivers.
    Get rid of whatever AV you are using.
    Maybe throw in another 4 x 1GB RAM.
    There is a forum for Boot Camp.

  • PS CS4 seems to run slow under Snow Leopard...

    Hello, this is my first post at the forums.  I just did some tests and am a bit baffled. 
    Scenario:
    Computer 1:
    - New Mac Pro quad xeon running snow leopard and PS extended 10.0.1, 6 gigs of ram with only photoshop running
    - opened a 52"x52" 300 dpi image.
    - cropped image and the cropping took a bit longer than I hoped for maybe about 3-4 min.
    Computer 2:
    - Imac Intel core 2 duo with 2 gigs of ram with PS and AI and other apps running
    - opened same image
    - cropping was faster than the Mac pro.... took about 2-3 min
    Any thoughts?
    Another Scenario:
    Computer 1:
    - New Mac Pro quad xeon running snow leopard and PS extended 10.0.1, 6 gigs of ram with only photoshop running
    - opened a 2.8 gig 300 dpi image.
    - cropped image and got a message saying operation can't be done because out of ram
    Computer 2:
    - Quad g5 6 gigs or ram
    - opened same file
    - was able to crop but it took a while.
    Any thoughts?
    I wanted to see if it's the OS or the Machine but I tried to install 10.5 in the new mac pro and it won't let me.
    Just wanted to share been looking around for any info about app speeds.
    - Nico

    Oops I meant 11.0.1 also to clarify the one running on the imac is PS CS4 standard not extended but the one running on the G5 and Mac pro is Extended.

  • Windows Server - Run multiple domains under different accounts

    Hi,
    I have multiple domains on a Windows Server. I'd like to run these under separate accounts for security reasons.
    My options I have so far:
    1) Install all Admin servers and managed servers as windows services and set logon appropriately
    2) If possible, use multiple node manager instances, one for each domain and set the log on for each node manager windows service
    I like the idea of multiple node managers but I can't find any reference in the documentation about this. I'd rather not use option 1 as I won't be able to restart servers from the WebLogic Console
    Has anyone had to do this before?

    First option might be the cleanest .
    For second option make sure that there are separate Node_Manager home directory for different node manager instances.

  • Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
    Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
    Try the reset first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Mac Mini Server is running slow on just one machine.

    We have a Mac Mini OS X Server running in our workplace. We have FileMaker installed and we use the server for mostly just shared file storage and FileMaker databases. We have two iMacs on each floor - two upstairs and two downstairs. There is a switcher in each office to maintain a wired Ethernet connection, but today one of the machines is suffering from a really slow connection. All three of the other machines are fine, but this one iMac will take forever either loading FileMaker or connecting to the Server in Finder.
    Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this? I'm thinking it might be the iMac but I can't think for the life of me why it would be so slow as the machine runs fine otherwise. Thanks!

  • Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.

    Please help me with Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.
    I was running a media sharing website for which I wanted to use Adobe Media Server.
    To use, AMS, I disabled the already installed Apache server and installed AMS along with the built in Apache server. I could successfully install AMS and could login to AMS Admin Console through my IP number.
    My existing website, www.mydomain.com is having its contents located at:
    /home/mydomain/public_html
    (Directory created under the old version of Apache not bundled with AMS)
    Users will be uploading their videos, which will get transcoded and will be delivered to the website visitors in the existing scenario.
    To use this website with AMS, this is what I did:
    I created a folder for my domain, www.mydomain.com as below
    /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
    Copied Application.xml and Vhost.xml from /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/   and pasted them in /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
    In the Application.xml file there are 2 entries:
    <Alias name="mydomain.com"></Alias>
    <AppsDir>${/home/mydomain/public_html}</AppsDir>
    Please help me with further steps to be completed:
    Do I need to create a separate VirtualHost entry in the Apache installed with AMS?
    If yes, can I specify already existing document root for my website (/home/mydomain/public_html) or do I need to create a separate folder under webroot/Apache ?
    If yes to point 2 above, then do I need to copy all the existing contents from /home/mydomain/public_html to the newly created folder ?
    I hope, I can serve all my static contents like html pages and php and media like video/audio. In that case do I need create alias to my Media/Alias folder or AMS will automatically start streaming when a video/audio is requested ?
    What other steps do i need to complete?
    Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards

  • System freezing/running slower

    I've been having some difficulties with my macbook as of late: in the past three days, chrome has frozen about 7 times and force quitting made the entire screen freeze (so all i could do was using the shut-down button). I've also noticed that the bootup is slower than usual. Generally speaking, the whole thing has been running slower and slower for a while now. i get the rainbow wheel of doom on a frequent basis. (also, my fan is quite loud and i can hear a rattling sound sometimes)
    here is what seems to have happened before everything froze:

    i've verified disk permissions, verified disk, did a hardware check (everything normal) and reset NVRAM/PRAM. I didn't even know any of these things existed until a few days ago, so if i'm honest i have no idea what i'm doing.
    (also, with disk permissions i got "Permissions differ on “System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x "" and "
    should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r-". I'm not sure whether that is important.)
    if anyone could tell me what is going on / what i could do to stop my computer from being slow/crashing, i'd be immensely thankful! (it's also a new model; from january 2012)

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    My Macbook Pro has been running slow...I inherited it from another coworker (we are contractors so we are responsible for them not the company)...the spinning colorful ball icon seems to run on and off on different screens every day....any ideas of what I can delete or programs to run?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
