No, the first thing I would ask is it all or some objects. If the answer is
all, then the solution will probably be hardware related. If it is just some
of the objects (maybe the most used so it seems like all of them), then the
solution may be to add an access path to replace a temporay file that is
created to help return the data that has been requested. There are also some
'history' objects that have problems with multiple members. This can be
corrected by getting rid of the usually unused restored history members. If you
have time, contact me offline to see if we can pinpoint something.

Subject: RE: R7 advantages
I wonder what the minimum requirements for AS/400 really are??? It
would
seem that this is the main reason for the performance increase? We are
struggling with a 170/2290, and Browser performance with a 3 GHZ P.C.
with
2GB RAM full duplex Switched 100Mb Ethernet is almost unbearably slow
to
do most things.
I'm sure that the first thing that we will be told is that we need to
purchase a New AS/400 (and bigger$$$$ License) to go to Version 7...

RE: R7 advantages
Steve,
You are correct that all of the things in Phil's note require Browser.
He
was responding to William's request for improvements in Browser and
Integrator.
As for PC size, I will tell you that we continue to do benchmarks using
a
500 MHz PC. Obviously bigger PCs will perform some of the tasks
faster.
In our experience, the amount of PC memory affects performance more
than
horsepower. We recommend 256MBs of free memory. So you are probably
looking at PCs with a minimum of 512MBs. However, Integrator on R6 is
more CPU intensive (especially developer start-up).
In R7 we have made significant improvements in that area. Here is an
example using actual customer data:
Data Set
298 User-created (new) Business Objects
30 Modified Mapics Business Objects
R6
Machine: 2.5GHz (1GB RAM)
Approx amount of raw Integrator data transferred: 5.0 MB
Time to bring up Business Object List (all data from AS/400): 5:30
Time to bring up Business Object List (all data cached in local Data
directory): 3:15
Machine: 800MHz (768MB RAM)
Approx amount of raw Integrator data transferred: 5.0 MB
Time to bring up Business Object List (all data from AS/400): 11:05
Time to bring up Business Object List (all data cached in local Data
directory): 6:00
R7
Machine: 2.5GHz (1GB RAM)
Time to bring up Business Object List: 0:02
Machine: 800MHz (768MB RAM)
Time to bring up Business Object List: 0:03
So to summerize, PC size will depend on what you determine as
acceptable.
Also PC size is only a small part of performance. Network bandwith and
Host CPW also can play a major role. Dave Colvin at MAPICS may be able
to
help you evaluate your specific environment.

All those enhancements look like they require the
Browser, is that correct?
What are the minimum PC requirements for running
Browser
& what are most
people running to achieve adequate results?
Thanks in advance.
