Hi,

RRR|Chive can drop indexes and recreated after the migration.

Have you really seen a big speed difference by doing this?

I measured the time for a 100k form with a lot of indexes, and could not
see any difference in the speed. I do not remenber which database it was
though...

>  Hi ARSListers!
>  We're currently planning to migrate existing Remedy environment in Sun

>  Mid-tier 7.0.1 patch 6 running on MS Windows Server 2003
>  Memory size 8GB
>  4 UltraSPARC-IIIi virtual processors each running on 1.6GHz
>  No ITSM applications installed. AR System is used for in-house developed

>  average of 60-70 concurrent users. 600 registered users
