Hi !
I was facing a very strange problem last night when reconfiguring new data definitions.
I was running runtime and bdbreconfig6.1 was very very slow...around 100 rows out in 5secs. I was really suffering from this. This is IVc4 with informix (64 bit) and 6.02 porting set (3-tier).
These servers are brand new with very good performance with bdbpre6.1. So I decided to test performance by running bdbpre6.1 with some big table and performance was very good, like it has always been. At the same time i noticed that bdbreconfig woke up suddenly and tables got reconfigured very quickly. I killed bdbpre and bdbreconfig was slowing down immediately. Bdbpre once again and bdbreconfig was back in full strength. So performance of bdbreconfig was tied to bdbpre6.1 process!

Who can explain this? Porting set?

Hey Jukka,

That sounds like a real strange problem alright! How did you run the bdbreconfig and bdbpre? Both from a session or command-line or a mix? Did you use the same client/server settings for the bdbpre/bdbreconfig? (e.g. db_resource etc)?

Otherwise I can only think of some sort of caching issue. Worth checking out with Baan Support I would say.

Both were run as bsp from different baan sessions by using ba6.1. Normal settings (RDS_FULL=5) in db_resource. Baan is working extremely well in overall.
This is absolutely not an I/O or cpu problem. I was very lucky that I tried bdbpre6.1!
