Hello Community!
I know this is maybe thread number 1000 concerning performance, but I have a problem I cannot cope with.
There is a major part in our software (creating orders) where runtime is from about 2000ms to 30 seconds and more. It’s not possible to reproduce, in any test I did, I reached a maximum of 3000ms. Of course one solution would be to redevelop this part of software (it woukd be worth to do so
), but this is about 3-6 month of work, we do not have yet. On the other hand it is very strange that the gap between maximum and minimum runtimes is this high.
Server: Windows 2003, SP2, 3GB RAM, RAID 10, 1x XEON 2GHz (dual core), Progress 10.1A Enterpr., 2 APW, BI and AI Writer, -B 25000 (still about 1GB of free RAM), about 60 active users (-n 76), max 4 Clients per server, max. 19 servers
Client: 2x Windows Windows 2003 Terminal server, well equiped
What I did until now:
Does anybody had any problems like this, especially with networking?
Does anybody has good experiences with tuning message buffer size parameter (-Mm)?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Thomas

What I did until now:
- Checked server performance with protop.p: There are no problems with physical reads and/or flushed buffers of checkpoints while user had to wait.
- Tried to tune client parameters (-TB, -TM, -mmax), no differences detected
- Checked client statistics (-y), it do not seem that there are problems with temp I/O performance
Does anybody had any problems like this, especially with networking?
