Re: Performance/Development question -- DOMINO400

When I call the agent from the QS or PS, what determines whether the agent
runs on the server or in the user's session ?

Re: Performance/Development question

Two things come to mind:

1) I generally put code like this in the PostSave event instead of
QuerySave in case the save doesn't take place. Stuff happens.

2) I think you will get a performance gain if the changes are made
via an agent that runs on the server. Then the QuerySave (or
PostSave) event calls the agent.

I have a database running on our 8.0.1 Domino server that serves as a
central source of information for several other databases. When

documents

are updated in this particular database, I need to update other databases
with that information on an almost real time basis. I had coded these
updates into the QuerySave event of the primary forms. For local users,
this update process is negligible. For remote users, the update process
takes way too long. For various reasons, we cannot utilize local

replicas

for these remote users, nor can we bump up the bandwidth.

One option I was considering was take the update out of the QuerySave
events and make a scheduled LotusScript agent that runs every 15 minutes
or so that will take the changes in the main database and update the
secondary databases.

Another option I was considering was to code a Java program that would

run

on the iSeries, wake up periodically and handle the updates.

Performance is a concern in this environment. Any opinions on whether it
would be more efficient to have a frequently running LotusScript agent on
the Domino server or a frequently running Java program running outside

the

Domino environment but manipulating Domino objects ???

Thanks in advance,
