97.0. "Focus processing speed" by HOCUS::RUDOLPH () Wed Jul 20 1988 17:42
Focus processing speed....
Haven't read anything previously listed that has to do with my
situation. I have a customer in NYC who is using FOCUS for a case
tracking application. The application resides on a MVII BA123 with
6mb of memory and a RD53. Sixty small case files are loaded, however,
with one user the system is very slow, especially moving from one
logical portion to another. Wishing to avoid any finger pointing
battles, I'm trying to determine if any one has FOCUS running a
similar application on this type of MVII. Appreciate any help.
Regards,
Don Rudolph @NYO

| Before I worked at DEC, I ran an MVII with 11mb mem and a RD53
with FOCUS applications and 8 users. The response time overall
was very acceptable. However there are some critical factors
which must be addresed. they are system configuration and
FOCUS database design.
Make sure FOCUS is an installed image
Make sure there are enough global pages of memory allocated to
fit all the installed images on the system.
Make sure the FOCUS files are designed efficiently. Hierarchical
structures if organized properly are nice.
Are you saying that 60 small Case transaction files are loaded into
1 FOCUS file?
If its a real mess have them call in an IBI consultant.

| 97.2 | MVII Disk drives are the culpret | PLANIT::RYAN | | Thu Aug 04 1988 20:05 | 5 |
| I'm running an application on a MVII and I'm finding that memory is not
the issue; it's the slower disk drives. I'm not sure what the solution
is but for now I'm experimenting with RAM disk for those applications
that are small enough to fit in memory. I'll report later on how
successful this technique is.
