Assuming that an upgrade to 10.x and Win2003 isn't on the cards, other key "things" that are likely to help render suggestions are questions like :
* CPU type & how many * how much RAM does the system have (and what else is running that consumes RAM) * what type of disks/controller * single or part files? * how many records * any indexes in play (if not, why not ?!?) I'm going to take a stab & guess that CPU speed is under 1Ghz, and RAM around 1Gb? For about $10K you can buy a nice shiny new system with 4Gb RAM and dual quad-core 3Ghz CPU's and SAS drives --> what a great excuse for an upgrade! Sure, this will not tell you what is going wrong, but chances are it will no longer matter :-) Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage > Better by Design! >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-u2- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Gledhill >Sent: Thursday, 15 November 2007 2:45 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [U2] UniVerse config and file I/O > >Hi All > > > >I need some config suggestions for UniVerse (9.6.2.8) and Win2k to >maximise >I/O.
