I've been using a remote bshell for BaanIVc4 for several months for a project we're working on. However, it's pretty slow... what can be done to improve performance of launching sessions/etc ?

What is the reason to use a remote bshell?

To run a sort of daemon server on the remote win2k box, to launch sessions on the hpux box. Works now, but running the menu browser, launching sessions, etc is pretty slow. Would like to know if this is normal, or if things can be done to improve performance.

Running remote needs to copy a lot to the remote system. As you use an HP box. Is it possible to copy (a part of) the application to the HP server? Loading the DD and most frequently used objects in shared memory will also help.

Hope this helps,
Dick

Currently, all the applications and data dictionary are only on the HPUX/Baan box... you mean to copy the frequently used objects to the Win2k/remote bshell system?

Eh.. Yes. I was confused. Thought you are working the other way around.

Ok... I'll have to think about it and give it a try. I'm not exactly sure where to put them, since the remote bshell doesn't even have an 'application' directory right now.

Ok. I've enabled Shared Memory using the Baan NT Manager. Had to change the default size from 16mb to something high to make room for 30mb of objects. It took a while for it to load them all.

Anyway, my remote bshell is starting much faster now, and it seems a bit more stable. Now time will be the real test.

Thanks!
