We have performance problems while uploading ASCII dumps via Exchange.

Anyone having a suggestion to improve that?

You have an possible problem of conversion ASCII to ANSI.
Verify the file. If is included the character ^M at the end of line you may convert the ANSI file to ASCII file.

Also, please post the tables involved, and maybe the layout of the ASCII file, and, lastly, any condition script you are using.

This has always been extremely slow. As a workaround, you can use a condition on the textfield that has the textlines as parameter, puts the textfields in a tmp-file, uses the Baan-Tools functions to generate a baan-text from the tmp-file and return the generated textnumber. In my experience this is faster, however, I have seen text being created double since exchange sometimes runs over the same field twice on importing.

I cannot share the opinion of baanconsultant. We always had good performance on importing via exchange (also importing texts).

I have some aditional questions:
- Which tables are you updating?
- Are you using the "DAL"?
- How are the texts structured?
- Are you using the multiline function (ASCII File Fields tuxch0503m000)?
