Vmware Horizon 3.3.0 - slow when launched from a VM (WS2008 R2) - any solutions ?

Hi guys,
We have a VMware Horizon setup that works quite well when accessed from our laptops.
However, for a number of reasons we also need this environment accessed from a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine that resides as a VM on a hypervisor.
But the problem is it is very very slow when launched like this (you can feel the mouse cursor lagging or whenever you open a window on the published Vmware View machine). I will point out that the connection to the client VM (WS2008R2) is done through RDP.
The questions I have since I've not been able to find out so far are:
1) Is WS2008R2 x86-64 supported as a client ? Does installation of a VMware Horizon Client on it differ in any way than on a Windows 7 machine ?
2) Is the fact that it is virtualized the root cause of the slowness ? If yes, why is that and can I do something to fix it ?
Thank you very much , I really appreciate your help.
Jay.

Ok, solved it myself
It seems in the "Control Panel > Mouse Options > Pointers > Scheme" the "Windows Aero - System Scheme" was selected. The second I set that to None, the mouse cursor started behaving and it's moving normally.

PL/SQL procedure is 10x slower when running from weblogic

Hi everyone,
we've developed a PL/SQL procedure performing reporting - the original solution was written in Java but due to performance problems we've decided to switch this particular piece to PL/SQL. Everything works fine as long as we execute the procedure from SQL Developer - the batch processing 20000 items finishes in about 80 seconds, which is a serious improvement compared to the previous solution.
But once we call the very same procedure (on exactly the same data) from weblogic, the performance seriously drops - instead of 80 seconds it suddenly runs for about 23 minutes, which is 10x slower. And we don't know why this happens :-(
We've profiled the procedure (in both environments) using DBMS_PROFILER, and we've found that if the procedure is executed from Weblogic, one of the SQL statements runs noticeably slower and consumes about 800 seconds (90% of the total run time) instead of 0.9 second (2% of the total run time), but we're not sure why - in both cases this query is executed 32742-times, giving 24ms vs. 0.03ms in average.
The SQL is
SELECT personId INTO v_personId FROM (
        SELECT personId FROM PersonRelations
        WHERE extPersonId LIKE v_person_prefix || '%'
) WHERE rownum = 1;Basically it returns an ID of the person according to some external ID (or the prefix of the ID). I do understand why this query might be a performance problem (LIKE operator etc.), but I don't understand why this runs quite fast when executed from SQL Developer and 10x slower when executed from Weblogic (exactly the same data, etc.).
Ve're using Oracle 10gR2 with Weblogic 10, running on a separate machine - there are no other intensive tasks, so there's nothing that could interfere with the oracle process. According to the 'top' command, the wait time is below 0.5%, so there should be no serious I/O problems. We've even checked JDBC connection pool settings in Weblogic, but I doubt this issue is related to JDBC (and everything looks fine anyway). The statistics are fresh and the results are quite consistent.

The setup is quite simple - the database is running on a dedicated database server (development only). Generally there are no 'intensive' tasks running on this machine, especially not when the procedure I'm talking about was executed. The application server (weblogic 10) is running on different machine so it does not interfere with the database (in this case it was my own workstation).
No, the procedure is not called 20000x - we have a table with batch of records we need to process, with a given flag (say processed=0). The procedure reads them using a cursor and processes the records one-by-one. By 'processing' I mean computing some sums, updating other table, etc. and finally switching the record to processed=1. I.e. the procedure looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE process_records IS
    v_record records_to_process%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
     OPEN records_to_process;
     LOOP
          FETCH records_to_process INTO v_record;
          EXIT WHEN records_to_process%NOTFOUND;
          -- process the record (update table A, insert a record into B, delete from C, query table D ....)
          -- and finally mark the row as 'processed=1'
     END LOOP;
     CLOSE records_to_process;
END process_records;The procedure is actually part of a package and the cursor 'records_to_process' is defined in the body. One of the queries executed in the procedure is the SELECT mentioned above (the one that jumps from 2% to 90%).
So the only thing we actually do in Weblogic is
CallableStatement cstmt = connection.prepareCall("{call ProcessPkg.process_records}");
cstmt.execute();and that's it - there is only one call to the JDBC, so the network overhead shouldn't be a problem.
There are 20000 rows we use for testing - we just update them to 'processed=0' (and clear some of the other tables). So actually each run uses exactly the same data, same code paths and produces the very same results. Yet when executed from SQL developer it takes 80 seconds and when executed from Weblogic it takes 800 seconds :-(
The only difference I've just noticed is that when using SQL Developer, we're using PL/SQL notation, i.e. "BEGIN ProcessPkg.process_records; END;" instead of "{call }" but I guess that's irrelevant. And yet another difference - weblogic uses JDBC from 10gR2, while the SQL Developer is bundled with JDBC from 11g.

DNG files will not open in photoshop when launched from lightroom

This just started, I can't open DNG files in photoshop when launching from within lightroom. Not sure how to fix this. the dng files launch fine from bridge.

As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
See the detailed instructions on the download page.
>What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

How To Set Third Party Media App Is Default When Launched From Default File Manager

I use rock media player, which can encode & decode The Video and audio files i use, unlike the phone i have, i don't receive the option to set the app as the default media player. I would really like to be able to use this app on the thrive as it is some much a better media player than the thrives defaulty app. Rock player is the name of the app, who do set it as the default player when launched from the default file manager.

From my experience playing with the Thrive, when you attempt to watch a media file, it will open a menu asking you what application to use. From that popup, you can set a default.

Using fonts when launching from JNLP

Hello,
I followed the directions in this link http://fxexperience.com/2010/05/how-to-embed-fonts/ and was able to add and use fonts in my javafx program when launched from Netbeans. But when I try to launch from JNLP, the fonts do not show up (the text shows up as Arial).
Is there something special I need to do to access the fonts in the jar and utilize them?
As the link directed I created a fonts folder in my src folder where I store all the .ttf file, and created a fonts.mf file in META-INF where I map a name to the font file. Works fine when launching from netbeans.
thanks in advance for your help
jose

I've found the problem! It's the timestamp for the JNLP file. But unfortunately I can't figure out the workaround as yet.
To explain the problem it would be best to start with my application's installation procedure:
The applcation is installed by way of CD (using javaws -import) as downloading an 8mb jar file over dialup is unwieldy. Subsequent updates are retrieved from the server. Jardiffs are sent back to the webstart client so updates over dialup becomes manageble.
The application jar file in the CD is version 1.0. Let's say the server is now at version 1.3 with the timestamp 2005-10-01 00:00:00.
The user installs the application using the CD today which gives his JNLP file the timestamp of 2005-10-03 00:00:00.
When the application is started, it calls the server to check for updates. Although the JNLP file returned from the server specifically states that the current version is at version 1.3 Java Web Start insists on using the timestamp to perform the comparison first.
Since the timestamp of the JNLP file in the user's pc is dated later than the JNLP file in the server, Java Web Start ignores the version checking and assumes that the application in the server is the latest and greatest.
Has anyone encountered a similiar situation? The only solution I can think of is to hack the JNLPDownloadServlet to return a date that's way in the future so that Java Web Start picks up the changes... sigh.
Is it possible to disable the timestamp checking for the JNLP files? As again, help is mucho appreciated and there are 10 duke dollars at stake too :)

Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.6

Hi, simple question to ask about OAS and Developer Server.
My Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.61,
I am currently running...
Pentium PII 200Mz running NT sp5
Forms Server version 6.0.5.31.0 (Patch 3 applied)
OAS version 4.0.7.1.0 (Patch applied)
Jinitiator 1.1.7.18
Netscape 4.61 browser
I have all the latest versions of everything that is available,
I have followed the instructions.
I successfully connect to the OAS admin utility and have setup
all the virtual to physical directory mappings under the default
listener www. I successfully start all website OAS services.
I have Forms server successfully started up as a process
listening on port 9000.
I have two statics html files created:
a) with Jinititator 1.1.7.18
The very first time I connected to this static html file it
installed Jinitiator as expected. The Forms server splashscreen
then appears.
Jinitiator then starts up successfully, no errors appear in the
Java console. This has proved I am talking to the listener and
my virtual directory mappings are working.
At this point there is a lot of disk activity and then all
stops, the splashscreen remains and appears in the discussion
area:
FRM-9999 cannot access "koala.ilaco.gov.bo:9000" and
a series of java exceptions
I am pointing to the correct java directories (I think)
b) with out Jinitiator
When I try to call using URL with Netscape 4.61 I get a
message on the status bar saying...
Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main class oracle/forms/engine/Main
got a security violation: Method verification error
Can you help ?
If you know the answer, please let me know as soon as
posible.
Thanks for the answer....
Rgds,
Polo

I respond your email, with my actual server configuration my
problem is now: I get the splash screen and after form is hanged.
My server configuration is:
Compaq PC, with Pentium II, the software is:
- Windows NT, with Service Pack 5
- Oracle Application Server, v.4.0.7.1.0 Enterprice Edition,
pathset 1
- Developer Server v.6 patchset 3
- My browser in this machine is Netscape 4.61
- Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 is also used.
My developer server is installed and running on the same machine
that OAS is. I am using other browser in other machine (IE5)
and trying to connect to the OAS on the first machine.
My problems begin when I launch ifsrv60.exe. I copied
ifwcm60.dll v.6.0.5.0.2, and other files required in the %
ORACLE_HOME%\bin
I forced listener Developer Server Port (
c:\orant\bin\ifsrv60.exe -listen port=9000 )
Now, I can connect with this process, with the following line:
telnet koala 9000. The listener is working now.
I tried to work with my (NonCartride-static html)forms60 form on
WEB without Jinitiator, but I couldn't.
With Netscape, in the status bar: Applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main can3t stop ERROR
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after the forms is hanged.
If I use Jinitiator:
With Netscape, in the status bar: Oracle Jinitiato: applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main inited then form is hanged.
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after that, the screen
freezes and looks like the form is hanged.
Any further suggestions on this?

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows

[SOLVED] GTK2 apps have wrong theme when launched from desktop entry.

So I'm setting up KDE and I want to use the QtCurve theme for all applications where possible. I have set (via kde-gtk-config) the GTK2 theme to QtCurve and it half works. GTK2 applications are using the QtCurve theme when they are launched via a command, but they are using what appears to be an ugly version of the Oxygen theme when launched from a .desktop file. I previously installed gtk-qt-engine from the AUR, but have since removed it along with it's files, and as I was using the Oxygen theme at the time, this appears to be what has caused the issue. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?
EDIT: Solved by removing ~/.themes folder (obviously only remove the KDE-QT theme if there are other themes in the folder).

Thanks, but lxappearance made things rather worse.
A friend of mine had told me to put "gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS" into settings.ini and my problem is solved now.

Browser size when launched from Forms Builder

Hi, Does anyone know how to set the size of the IE browser when launched from Forms Builder? I have set the width and height setting to 100% so that the applet takes up all the browser space, however the browser is still not as large as I'd like.
When I start IE on its own, it opens in the desired size, it's only when running it from Forms Builder that it's too small. I've searched on the net, but nothing seems to work, there must be a setting specific to Forms?
Thanks
Sam

If you are using SeparateFrame = True, then you might try using these in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
set_window_property('Your_Main_Window', window_state, maximize);
If you are not using SeparateFrame = True, then you may have to use JavaScript in the page where your applet is located. Javascript can also go in your formsweb.cfg file. See:
HTMLbeforeForm=<script>....</script>
or
HTMLafterForm=<script>....</script>

My HP dv6 1030us laptop becomes slow when removed from AC power

Hi,
My HP DV6 laptop has windows 7 operating system and it behaves pretty weirdly .
It becomes really slow when removed from AC Power and have to restart my system to bring it to normal speed don't know why its behaving like that and help to resolve the problem would be greatly appreciated and also my system gets overheated a lot and I have to use a cooling pad always to keep it cool and running properly along with AC power
I would greatly appreciate any advice in resolving these issues.
Thanks in advance.

for how long have you had this laptop... If you had it for longer than a year you may be dealing with a dust bunny (acumulation of dust in the vent that's right beside the fan). Normally when that vent is clogged you get the type of overhetaing you may be experiencing, so i recomend you to open it up and give it a nice clean as soon as you can. As for your computer slowing down without the ac adapter.
Do you know under what power option are you running ur computer?

My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi
