John This is probably a “shot in the dark” but last
week I struggled with a similar problem at one of my clients. They
complained that two of the PCs on the network were taking an exceptionally long
time to print and sometimes (not always) forms would take a long time to
display. I went to the site and started asking questions and found out
that they had recently upgraded their network switch and most of their PC NICs
to 1ghz. Two PCs that still had 10/100 NICs were running slow, only when
accessing the database. All other applications ran at normal speed. However,
they did not pass as much data over the network as the database does. We
determined that the 10/100 NICs were the cause of the problem. He had an
excess of 10/100 cards on site that came out of the upgraded PCs and we were
able to find two 10/100 NICs that would work on a 1ghz network. The bottom line is that you could have a bad NIC or a incompatible
combination of NICs like I had. John From: I have noticed that when printing reports with more than
one user connected to a database the performance is extremely slow, reports that
otherwise take seconds to print, taking minutes. (This is even when the other
user is not actually doing anything.) Scratch files are set to reside on
the individual PCs, both of which are running XPP. When I look at Task Manager
the RBG75 process is using only about 3% of the CPU, (system idle is the only
other significant process at 97% or thereabouts). Network Utilisation is about
56%. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to what can be
done to improve this, that would be much appreciated. Thank you. Regards John Docherty |
