Adam:
This solution was mentioned in a forum a while back and worked for me. You
could try clicking on tools in the server page and then select holiday setup
and that may reduce your cpu usage or you may need one more step by
selecting any item from the holiday list and clicking on the edit list
button to reduce your cpu usage. Just leave the server open in this mode
and you can run all other programs without the 100% cpu problem. Close this
little window when you want to do something in the server page mode.

Subject: Re: lack of reliability in chartscanner
Fans? You think it might be overheating? Well, I guess I can put a temp
gauge on
it but it seems OK. And you reckon I should clean out the dust with a vacuum
cleaner too, I guess. I did that 2 years ago, so it won't hurt. As for the
temp
that it runs at, it's an old CPU without a built-in gauge on the CPU.
The performance in Task Manager has always been nailed at 100% as soon as I
open
the Omega Server - I never thought it would cause problems.
I allocated 4 gigs to the virtual memory.
I recently cleared the hard drive down to free up 10 Gigs, I ran Defrag, I
ran
Norton Disk Doctor and scandisk. So it's pretty clean.
And for an old TS4 machine, it's got a pretty good spec.
My tinkering with the system shows that it's not the FileAppend() function
that's failing, it looks like it's this if statement that fails:
if DateToJulian(Date) = LastCalcJDate then
... as if TS4 isn't running the system over the last bar of the data. Or
perhaps
even any of the data for that market - even though the chartscanner looks
like
it does because it shows that market symbol in the dialog box when scanning.
