Why does HP LoadRunner measure slow response time for SAP GUI selection steps?

We are running HP LoadRunner 11.52 scenarios out to multiple (up to 4) load generators. Load generators have 24 GB ram and 8 CPU's. We have run a maximum of 200 users and see a maximum usage of ~25% on CPU's. We were previously running SAP GUI 7.4 and downgraded to 7.3 when we came to understand 7.4 is not supported in PAM for LR 11.52. Regardless, our results have not changed. What we are trying to resolve is why the first two steps of opening the SAP GUI and entering system-related selection is taking so long to process? Additionally, we typically see that during the time escalation of those steps, that there is a period where the process seems to pause for a large time gap. The process below shows a snapshot while in progress. The SAP GUI steps are hitting severe peaks wthile all other steps during the process tend to track at a steady quick response time. Any degradation there looks to be tied to the long pauses.
Would anyone have knowledge or experience with this type of output and understand why it might be consistenty happening? Thanks.

Slow response time for HTTP requests

I have an 8310 Pearl. For the past week, I've noticed that the response time using the Internet browser was very slow. One work-around was to cancel the request and then submit it again. The second request returned the page MUCH faster.
I cleared my history, and this seemed to have helped. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks

Welcome to the forums
Try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

Slow response time for radio buttons on Internet Explorer 7

Hi,
We're using ADF 11.1.1.4 on weblogic 10.3.4 on a Solaris 10 (sparc) platform. The architecture also uses OHS and Webcache 11.1.1.4.
One of our applications has a webpage that is composed of several tabs, inside each tab we have some questions with radio buttons. When a client responds all questions on the first tab it moves to the second, where the application loads the necessary questions, based on the answers provided on the first tab. Once the client finishes answering this tab it moves to the third one and so on.
The problem appears once the tabs are loaded. Each time the client clicks one of the radio buttons, Internet Explorer takes between 3 to 5 seconds to return control, and considering that a client might need to click dozens of radio buttons to complete a process, it becomes a very exhausting task. It's worth noting that the session information is persisted for each radio button, when we move between tabs all answers are kept even if we didn't saved the progress.
On the other side, if we use Google Chrome 16, we find that the webpage returns control to the user almost inmediately, when clicking the radio buttons the response time is usually at 1 second or less.
We've checked that the app server is not stressed, heap memory is nowhere near the maximum assigned and the used processor % is very low, so it does not seems to be a resource problem.
Is there any known issue with ADF 11.1.1.4 and IE7/8 that affects the browser's response time? Are there any guidelines or recommendations regarding how to make the radio button component work properly? Has anybody noticed this behavior in adf?
Thanks.

I think that the most accurate description of the problem is that the autosubmit action of the radio button takes considerably longer in IE7 than in Chrome.

Slow response time for "Print Settings" dialog in CS6

steps performed to resolve - with no success:
disabled NET DRIVER HPZ12
updated CS6 with latest fixes
printer driver is up to date
usb driver up to date
swapped USB ports across three ports
ran font test with no errors
changed default Win 7 printer to Adobe PDF.
Windows 7 has latest fixes.
Configuration is:
     Win 7 Home 64 bit
     8 core AMD
     16 GB memory
     Photoshop CS6 64 bit
     HP c410a printer - USB connected
32 bit Photoshop CS4 on the same platform does not have the response time issue.

From Adobe Support: 17 secs response time is a normal time interval for the "Print Settings" dialogue.

Slow response time for JSP pages under iAS 6.0 SP4

Hi,
I got an application deployed on iplanet app server 6.0 SP4 on solaris
2.8. Using a single kjs engine and lite sessions. kjs memory size is
min 256 and max 256 megs. but verbose:gc shows memory is 98% free.
when i restart the app server, all JSP pages are really rendered fast.
After a while (1 or 2 days), the time to service the same request to
JSP pages is getting much longer (even with JSP pages having only
static content in them). CPU is idle ... It just takes time. KXS log
shows requet is taking like 2-4 seconds instead of about 150 milli
secs when the engine is just restarted.
Now if i call a servlet (which do not dispath to a JSP), the response
time is ok! Memory is ok. It looks like its related to JSP pages
only.
Anyone having an idea what the problem could be? One conig param is
the JSP page cache in iASAT. Default value is 10. What is a correct
setting for production? I have 4 different web app deployed in the
same server instance.
Tanks a lot for your input
Andre Paradis

Andre,
I have found the answer to my problem and perhaps yours. It seems that I18N (internationalization) in SP4 may have a performance bug in it.
My soak tests show that with i18N checked in the iAS Admin Tool, testing the fortune cookie sample application with light load (1 request / sec) resulted in a kxs response time initially of 15ms, however this response time increased by roughly 1% per request (i.e after 100 requests the response time had more than doubled).
Switching I18N off yielded a steady 7ms kxs response time from the fortune cookie application.
I would add that I turned I18N on AFTER the installation procedure.
Is this a known issue in SP4? Is there a patch?
regards,
Owen

Why does GMT show in the starting times for sports

On my Scoreboard game starting times used to be shown as PDT or PST. Now it shows GMT. I know that Pacific time is 3 hours earlier than my area's Eastern time. How much difference is there in GMT and Eastern time and why the change?

hello, please contact the website where you're having this issue - it isn't something that is controlled by your browser.
for GMT conversion relative to your location see www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=current+time+in+timezone+GMT

Why does it take a very long time for shows to post to VOD?

A lot of programs say they will be on demand the following day. This isn't true. Seems you have to wait a week or longer for shows to post. Why? Comcast would usually be by 4:00 PM the following day. When you miss something and want to catch up on it you have to wait, and then the next show is already being shown by the station. It's a pain. I know I can get a DVR but that costs more $$$. If you advertise your VOD to be current then be current.

Since the Verizon Forums are for users to help other users, I doubt you will get any definitive answer. We customers simply do not have access to any information on how Verizon handles VOD.

T400s and T500 experiencing slow response time accessing certain websites from within our network

Hello there.... we have some Lenovo T400s running Windows 7 and T500 running WinXP Pro that are experiencing slow response time when trying to access certain website from within our company network (particularly this global crossing Web meeting, google maps): https://core1.callinfo.com/interface/guest.jsp?host=globalcrossing ... it takes 10-15 minutes before it loads the meeting login screen and same response time for google maps to respond as well... the thing is, other Lenovo T400s, T61, and other HP desktop machines that are connected to the same network in our company does not experience this slow response time... HOWEVER, when these problematic T400s / T500 laptops are connected to external network (e.g. home DSL, hotel DSL/Cable modem) the problem goes away. Our NETWORK ran tests to monitor traffic to the websites from our company's network but seem to connect just fine... just wondering if anybody out there experienced the same problem and know of a solution. By the way, the two newer T400s that are experiencing the slow response time have the following BIOS version 1.11 (6HET26WW) and BIOS version 1.09 (6HET24WW). Then a T400s that is also connected to the same network but not experiencing the problem has a BIOS version of 1.02 (6HET17WW - running WinXP Pro). NOTE: We also connected a Linksys USB wireless adapter to connect to our wireless network in the company but same problem - and problem occurs even when connected via network cable. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Slow response times

This last weekend, we migrated off of our old server 2003 cf7mx server, to a new Server 2008r2 x64 CF 9,0,1,274733 server. We are now experiencing slow response times for our server,according to the Windows Performance monitor our Avg Request times are way up. I have been going through some logs but nothing seems to leap out at me, but i am not the best CF admin. As i dont know what information would be usefull, i have tried to give all the info.

Please let me know if any other data would be usefull.

Hi,
I expect the error details in CF9\runtime\logs\coldfusion-out.log will like provide a clue as to problem.
For a more long term plan I think you should do what you can to migrate the ACCESS data to SQL or some other database.
HTH, Carl.

Slow response time, applications won't load, etc.

I'm writing this on behalf of my sister, who is on a MacBook Pro, operating Mac OS 10.4.8.
Just yesterday, she began to notice extremely slow response time on her laptop, with applications taking up to 5 minutes to load sometimes, and the Internet subsequently taking ages to switch from page to page. The laptop is also constantly freezing up, with the spinning circle showing up frequently, as well as complete system freezes on and off.
I went on the computer and repaired disk permissions, as well as verified the disk. All went fine. Tried to do a software update in order to update to 10.4.9, but the computer freezes before it can even really begin to download the information.
Numerous reboots were also tried, with nothing working. I don't want to have to do something extreme like reinstalling the operating system without knowing that there might be a simpler solution, so that's why I'm here! I'd also like to know whether we can save her files (documents, etc.), if a reinstallation is needed.
Edit: She reports that she did install or download any software or file attachments, and keeps insisting that the problem virtually came out of nowhere, in case this helps!
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Alright-her computer has gotten progressively worse, and has not even managed to reach the log in screen for the past 10 minutes. Just a grey screen, an apple, and the little twirling loading thing.
Am at a loss as to what to do...last night, I could log in, but it was still hanging and taking just about forever for it to do anything.
Is a reformat the only thing left to do? She does subscribe to AppleCare-is it worth calling them, or will they just tell her to reformat as well?
Edit: I'm beginning to think this might date back to a lightning storm we had a couple days ago-does this sort of behaviour seem to follow the behaviour or something that experienced an electrical surge? Her phone in the room was acting funny as well for a few days.

What exactly does the contrast ratio and response time mean?

Recently I have been browsing for external monitors and I noticed that two of the specifications for monitors are a contrast ratio and response time.
What does a contrast ratio mean? What does the response time mean? Is the response time the same as the frequency refresh rate (ie. 75 Hz)?
I was looking at the Thunderbolt Display specs and it has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a response time of 13ms, but another LED monitor that costs 1/3 the price has a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 and response time of 5ms. The resolution of the display does not matter too much for me. Would the cheaper monitor be a better choice for me if I play to mostly use the display for gaming/photo editing?

You're welcome.
Would the cheaper monitor be a better choice for me if I play to mostly use the display for gaming/photo editing?
You can problem find lots of decent monitors with short response times for gaming. But I think (and this is just a guess, no basis in fact) that a decent monitor for photo editing may not be cheap and of course response time doesn't much matter so it may not make a good game monitor (depending on the kind of games you like to play of course -- angry birds would play on anything).
Also another thing to keep in mind are the two schools of thoughts on glossy monitors like the current 27" Apple monitors vs. non-glossy (anti-reflective) monitors. It's like religiion, And one group is not going to convience the other which is "better". It's a matter of taste I think. There's even a thread on this topic in these forums:
Why is Apple insisting on Glossy Displays?
I'm only mentioning this because if you want to do some photo editing there are some folks who do that stuff and claim they don't like glossy displays.

Slow Response Time on iPhone 3G

On or about r4.0 coming out I started experiencing significant Response Time delays moving between key's on my iPhone and not sure why. I believe this to be a Processor issue... anybody else out there experiencing this issue.
Example:
Select Setting icon on Home Screen... reasonable response time of 1-sec
Select General icon tab... 3-4 sec delay in response
Select another tab on General screen... another 3-4 sec delay before new screen appears.
Hit Home button to close General window... 3-4 sec delay...
Select Messaging icon... goes to white screen and 3-4 sec delay before messaging dialogue screen comes up
Keep in mind that there aren't any other app's running in the background that causes response time delays
The response time delays occur, regardless whether I am on Edge, Wi-fi or 3G.. I do not believe this to be a Networking issue...
Also, I only have 3- menu screens with maybe 23 app icons showing... most of which are iPhone apps like iTunes, Messaging, Settings, Mail, Safari, Stocks, weather, camera, contacts, calendar, pix, Maps, no games!!
I have done master reboot on phone... Network Reset... & Restore...
on rare occasions I will resume a 1-1.5 sec response time between my selections, otherwise, returning to 3-4 sec delays.
Coincidently, around the time this issue occurred, I had upgraded iTunes to 9.2 but doubt this created issues...I eventually downloaded r4.0 thinking a bug fix may have been included... but issue continued...
Any feedback? Thx

Well, to all those queing in on my question-observation... let me provide you an update.
True to form, APPLE provided me great support and Customer Satisfaction.
I did my due diligence and called into Apple Care and an app't was made for me at the Genius Bar the next day.
They assessed my situation and despite informing me it was the nature of the beast (3G), they happily exchanged my 3G out for a new 3G and guess what... with no app's sync'd to it as yet, right out of the box, not r4.0 the response time was the same.
Bottom line is 3G processor's are slow... especially compared against the 3GS and iP4... and loading r4.0 didn't impact it. With my contract expiring in a few days I bit the bullet and have a new iP4 and now enjoy almost instantaneous response to my key selections, etc.... oh, and no dropped calls due to antenna.

Slow Response Time Joining Multiple Domain Indexes

Hi All,
I am working with a schema that has several full text searchable columns along with several other convential columns. I noticed that when I join on 2 Domain Indexes, the response time for query completion nearly doubles. However, If I were to combine my 2 clob columns into 1 clob, the extra cost of finding the intersection of 2 rows sets can be saved..
In my query, I am taking 2 sets of random high probability words (the top 1000 sorted by token_count DESC).
NOTE: All of my query execution times are taken with words not previously used to avoid caching by the engine..
HERE IS THE SLOW VERSION OF THE QUERY WHICH REFERENCES THE BODY CLOB TWICE:
SELECT count(NSS_ID) FROM jk_test_2 WHERE
CONTAINS (body, '( STANDARDS and HELP ) ' ) > 0
AND
CONTAINS (body, '( WORKING and LIMITED ) ' ) > 0 ;
THE EXPLAIN PLAN shows the intersection being calculated:
| Id | Operation               | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT          |     | 1 | 99 | 3836     (0)| 00:00:47 |
| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE           |     | 1 | 99 |     |     |
| 2 | BITMAP CONVERSION TO ROWIDS     |     | | |     |     |
| 3 | BITMAP AND               |     | | |     |     |
| 4 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS|     | | |     |     |
| 5 | SORT ORDER BY          |     | | |     |     |
|* 6 | DOMAIN INDEX          | JK_BODY_NDX | | | 1284     (0)| 00:00:16 |
| 7 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS|     | | |     |     |
| 8 | SORT ORDER BY          |     | | |     |     |
|* 9 | DOMAIN INDEX          | JK_BODY_NDX | | | 2547     (0)| 00:00:31 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
6 - access("CTXSYS"."CONTAINS"("BODY",'( PURCHASE and POSSIBLE)')>0 AND
     "CTXSYS"."CONTAINS"("BODY",'(NATIONAL and OFFICIAL)')>0)
9 - access("CTXSYS"."CONTAINS"("BODY",'(NATIONAL and OFFICIAL)')>0)
I RAN 3 QUERIES and got these times:
Elapsed: 00:00:00.25
Elapsed: 00:00:00.21
Elapsed: 00:00:00.27
HERE IS THE QUERY RE-WRITTEN INTO A DIFFERENT FORMAT WHICH COMBINES THE 2 PARTS INTO 1:
SELECT count(NSS_ID) FROM jk_test_2 WHERE
CONTAINS (body, '( ( STANDARDS and HELP ) AND ( WORKING and LIMITED ) ) ' ) > 0;
The Plan is now:
| Id | Operation     | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT |     | 1 | 99 | 3207     (0)| 00:00:39 |
| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE |     | 1 | 99 |     |     |
|* 2 | DOMAIN INDEX     | JK_BODY_NDX | 5 | 495 | 3207     (0)| 00:00:39 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
2 - access("CTXSYS"."CONTAINS"("BODY",'( ( FORM and GIVE ) AND (WEB and AGREED) ) ')>0)
I RAN 3 QUERIES using new words and got these times:
Elapsed: 00:00:00.12
Elapsed: 00:00:00.11
Elapsed: 00:00:00.13
Although the cost is only %15 lower, it executes twice as fast. Also, the same improvement is gained if OR's are used instead of ands:
With --> CONTAINS (BODY,'( ( ( FORM OR GIVE ) and (WEB OR AGREED) ) ') >0
My 2 timings are .25 and .50 with the OR'ed clause above getting the better response time..
BASED ON THIS, On my project I am tempted to merged 2 totally seperate clob columns into 1, to get the better response time. The 2 columns are 1) Body Text and 2) Codes. They LOGICALLY DO NOT BELONG WITH ONE ANOTHER. This would be very ackward for the project as it would cause a lot of fudging of the data in many places throughout the system. I have done this testing taking averages of 500 unique queries, my indexes are up to date with full statistics computed on my tables and indexes. Response time is HIGHLY CRITICAL for this project.
Does anyone have any advice that would allow me to obtain the good response time avoiding the ackwardness of globbing all the data into one clob ?

You might try adding sections and querying using within.

Why does my safari run slow with DSL?

I recently had to change to DSL internet, and my macbook safari does not do well with it.
I cannot seem to open more than one internet tab at a time, videos do not load, slow loading time for searching.
Is there a way to fix this to where my safari is not so slow?
Is it a macbook fix, or should I increase my DSL usage limit?
My macbook is up to date.

You will have to call the Internet Service Provider and let them test the line.
Best.
