47.0. "SU is S L O W !" by RUTLND::MCMAHON (Reality is a future enhancement) Thu Mar 17 1988 16:59

    We are running a Finance application using the SU and we're finding
    it's VERY slow. I checked the installation guide and the UAF parameters
    are fine. It mentions needing two DECnet connections for each SU
    user and this may be where we're bogging down. We also get an error
    that says the SU cannot connect to the central database. I have
    a call into the IBI hotline, but I was wondering if anyone else
    was having this kind of trouble.

    I'm brand new to Focus and learning quickly.
    
      What is a "SU" user?  Is this a distributed facet of FOCUS?

47.2Simultaneous UserRUTLND::MCMAHONReality is a future enhancementFri Mar 18 1988 14:375
    In a way, yes. SU stands for Simultaneous User. It is also called
    the Synch Machine. When a database is put under control of the SU,
    the SU allows >1 user to write to a database at the same time. 
    "At the same time" isn't really true, but it allows WRITE access
    to more than one user.
