Is there anyone else on the list using accpac an upgraded to the 7.3.
our consultant says that everywhere he has put 7.3 in he is seeing this but when he runs the whole thing on his laptop locally. both server side an client its not a problem so its pointing to either the server or network. we do not see a change in the speed even running 1gig network to server its same as on a 100 m nic.
Well, running an application over a file sharing network is never going to approach the performance of running it from locally stored files. Network bandwith is a fraction of the data transfer speed of a DASD (directly attached storage device). There's probably a 10-to-1 ratio, at least.
Why are you centralizing the storage of the application instead of installing it on the systems that use it? With 26 users all hitting the same box for application resources it's not suprising the performance in unsatisfactory.
This software has to run on a one machine an serve out to workstations, we have 10 to 15 people in this program doing different stuff at one time, so it needs to be stored on a central storage machine. In the past with the old version we did not see this proformance hit. To me its not that bad of a wait but the users do an so does the consultant. He has seen it in all of his clients he has installed the upgrade on so far. Once the stuff is on the local pc you can play with the data an stuff an its nice an fast , just when it farms out to server to get more or change from one module to another you see the slow down now.
thanks for the info

I don't know if this will help to track down the problem, but there are two articles Sept/Oct 2004 on vmstat and Cacti http://www.linux-mag.com/depts/tech_support.html Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====
