Workflow copying files is timing out

We have SharePoint 2010. I have two libraries in the same sub site. One is a library of active files and one is a library of archived files. I have a simple workflow that I created in Designer which says if the Archive checkbox is checked,
then copy to the archive library and then delete from this library. It takes about 6 seconds for a single record to be copied over and then deleted. And, if I check the archive checkbox in several records using datasheet view, the first few will
be copied over but the rest will eventually timeout. The file size is only about 50-150kb each. Doing these one by one is very time-consuming because I have 1000+ files to move. The only way I can get it to work is to change 3-5 at a
time and let them complete before changing any more. Is there anything I can do to make this workflow more efficient?
I am a site administrator so I have full access to all sites/sub sites.

So one option that's come to the top of my head is to just avoid the workflow altogether. It's sounds pretty simple, you want to move files. Use the "Manage Content and Structure" feature! You can check off tons of files at a time and tell them
to move, they retain all their metadata too.

Automatic Notifications when a workflow is deferred or timed out

We are using about 10 workflows (7 Oracle Standard, 3 custom workflows) in Oracle Financials and would like to receive automatic notifications when any of the workflow is deferred or timed out.. Is there a setup to receive automatic notifications/emails when a workflow is deferred/timed out??
The reason for this is, we recently had a database crash. After we recovered from the crash, all the Oracle Delivered Workflows restarted after running Workflow background process with following parameters:
Item Type: null
Min Threshold: null
Max Threshold: null
Deferred: Yes
Timed out: Yes
Stuck: No.
The 3 Custom Workflows didn't start after running workflow background process with above parameters. We realized that after 2 days and had to run Workflow Background process for those three workflows seperately using below parameters:
Item Type: Custom Workflow1/Custom Workflow2/Custom Workflow3
Min Threshold: null
Max Threshold: null
Deferred: Yes
Timed out: Yes
Stuck: No.
Just wondering if there is a way to setup notifications if a workflow is deferred or timed out.
Thanks and Regards.

Issue with flat file loading timing out

Hello
I have a scenario, where I am loading a flat file with 65k records into a cube. The problem is, in the loading process, I have to look up the 0Material table which has a million records.
I do have an internal table in the program, where I select a subset of the Material table ie around 20k to 30k records. But my extraction process takes more than 1 1/2 hrs and is failing (timed out).
How can i address this issue? I tried building indexes on the Material table and its not helping.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Unfortunately, this is BW 3.5, so there is no END routine option here. And I tried both .csv and notepad file methods, and both are creating problems for us.
This is the total code, do you guyz see any potential issues:
Start Routine (main code)
refresh i_oldmats.
refresh ZI_MATL.
data: wa_datapak type transfer_structure.
loop at datapak into wa_datapak. (** I collect all the old material numbers from my flat file into an internal table i_oldmats**)
   i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL = wa_datapak-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL.
   collect i_oldmats.
endloop.
sort i_oldmats.
SELECT /BIC/ZZOLDMATL MATERIAL (** ZI_MATL only has recs. where old materials exist, this gets about 300k records out of 1M**)
         FROM /BI0/PMATERIAL
         INTO ZI_MATL FOR ALL
         ENTRIES in i_oldmats WHERE
          /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL .
            collect    ZI_MATL.
Endselect.
Sort ZI_MATL.
Transfer rule routine (main code)
IF TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL = 'NA'.
    READ TABLE ZI_MATL INTO ZW_MATL
    WITH KEY /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = TRAN_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL
    BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      RESULT = ZW_MATL-MATERIAL.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.
    RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL.
ENDIF.

Srinivas.

Automator Workflow Copying Files

I want to create an Automator workflow that copy items to a destination folder but ignores files that already exist in the destination. I begin having trouble at the "Copy Finder Items" action where the only options are to replace existing files or create duplicates in th destination folder?

My bad.
Try this script instead:
tell application "Finder"
          set source_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the source folder:")
          set target_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the destination folder:")
          if source_folder is not target_folder then
                    set the_files to every file of source_folder
                    repeat with each_file in the_files
                              set file_name to name of each_file
                              if not (exists file file_name of target_folder) then
duplicate each_file to target_folder
                              end if
                    end repeat
          else
                    display dialog "Choose different folders as source and target!" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
          end if
end tell
It does what the first one should have done - checks the name of each file against the files already in the source folder and only duplicates those which aren't already there.

File sharing timing out

Hi,
I have file sharing enabled on my older powerbook and newer macbook to share files back and forth. But often my powerbook will disappear after a few minutes from the shared list in finder. If I will close the lid and reopen it will come back and this behavior repeats. Anyone know what I can do to troubleshoot this? Thanks!
rc

Several restarts later and it is still doing it. I can connect to others, but this one machine doesn't want to go. Anybody?

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,
Mihir Pandya

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

plz help

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

Copy files on import greyed out

Hi I am testing PSE10 on Mac Lion before buying and one thing is stopping me buying it at the moment. I want my original files to stay where they are and not copied into the PSE library. Upon getting photos from folders option there is a "copy files on import" which is ticked, aha I thought just take the tick out but it is greyed out - can anyone help ?
Thanks

If you are also using iPhoto; Elements will make copies to your hard drive to prevent corruption of the photo Library. The choice is Organizer or iPhoto to manage your images or you can use iPhoto together with the Elements Editor; in which case you need to set Elements as your external editor within the iPhoto settings.

Workflow to copy file from SharePoint app web to host web?

About SharePoint-hosted Apps and Visual Stuidio 2012 workflows:
I'd like to copy files from a document library which is in my app web to a doc lib in my host web. This, using a Visual Studio 2012 workflow.
Could you please provide some pointers about how to perform this? I couldn't find much on the web about this right now.
Much appreciated

High number of "The connection has timed out" errors. Where do I set the time out period (variable and file name) - windows 7

I usually use a wireless network at home and have very few time out problems with Firefox.
I am travelling and using Optus Wireless broadband where the average ping to a site is 700+ms .
I suspect that this is the cause of the high number of timeouts I am experiencing.
Optus say there are no problems so I think I will have to set the timeout to a longer period.
Please advise what variable name/s (and in which file) the timeout is set for LOADING PAGES.
Thanks in anticipation.
Greg Atkinson.
By the way the same is happening in IE8
and on many sites other than the Yahoo one below.
================Full Error Page ==============
URL is http://au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=81jkv757qfdqt
=========================================
The connection has timed out
The server at au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Having the same problem 4 out of 5 times I try to navigate to a new site I get the error "connection has timed out".
My I phone works fine on the same wireless connection so it must be something to do with the computer. The problem occurs on IE, firefox, and google chrome.
I too would like to know how to how to either fix this problem or failing that to extend the length of time before the connection times out (which is currently only about 5 seconds).
Please help!
Thanks in advance

All job submitted remains in "Suspend" mode and never pass in "Executing".
To solve the problem I've to manually stop and restart the DeskIjob server, but after some hours the problem reappear.
How to solve it?
I've installed Business Objects XI R2 SP5 on Linux SLES 10

TS3297 I am unable to redeem a digital copy of a movie i purchased. itunes keeps saying timed out, try again, no matter how fast I enter the redeem code. itunes help/support is rubbish.

I have bought a Movie (20th century fox dist) with a digital copy i can download to itunes. everytime i try to redeem the code, itunes say's "session timed out, try again", no matter how fast I try. itunes help/support is no help. anybody had a similar problem and resolved?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

"Timed Out" message trying to play .mpg files on my STB

I recently downloaded the new version of Media Manager that plays videos. I have a lot of .mpg files from home movies taken over the years. They all play in the Media Manager on my PC, and the thumbnails show up on my TV with the Home Media Center STB.
But when I hit "OK" to play an .mpg clip, it first says "wait for up to 15 seconds for file to load" and then says "timed out; try again".
The Media Player menu that shows on my TV has a "FiOS Sample Video" (a 20 second clip that starts playing about 3 seconds) that plays without any problem. The home movie .mpg clip I tried to play is a 12 second clip, but it always times out.
My PC is six feet from the Verizon wireless router, but I don't know what the bandwidth is to the STB. My Internet service is 20/5, but when I test it I get 10/2.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i heard you have to rename certain files to play. try renaming it to mpeg instead of mpg
