All, With the 2008 rate update for UPS, we also added a significant number of indexes to speed up various evolutions. Due to the length of time it could take for some databases to create all of them, we made it a configurable parameter to turn them on, so it could be done after rate change when things are a little less pressured.
In addition, it changes one of the indexes to make tracking number a Primary Key, making sure tracking numbers won't duplicate. Unfortunately, we are still seeing many support calls to the effect of "My system is getting slower..." and "My PLD transmission babbles about duplicate tracking numbers...", meaning people aren't turning them on. Thus, starting with the UPS posted in production downloads now, you will get a server warning message on startup if the index creation is not turned on. As a reminder of how to do this: - Launch PEST - Navigate to "ProShip Server" - Navigate to "System Databases" - Navigate to "Optimizations" tab - Turn on "Auto maintain UPS Database Indexes" - Save and restart Proship Please give us a call if you have any questions.
