Table Boosters

Can anybody explain how table boosters are implemented for BaaN sessions. Is it necessary that script should be written in some specific way?

You can find the information you are lookin for in Chap 3 of manual M202A Baan IV Performance Guide, or Chap8 M2017B BaanERP Performance Guide. There may be others but my supply to Baan Doc's is not as easy to get to as it used to be.

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Are you trying to use table boosters in a script? Or are you trying to understand how to write a script that will execute efficiently?

Table boosters are great things... Wonderful, they speed up your processing... Fantastic..

One thing though, if you have a problem, be prepared for headaches.

The table boosters work by removing some functionality in the scripts, therefore working only one the things you want and forgetting the rest. However, if you have a problem, it will first be linked to this and you may find yourself going round in circles trying to find a solution.

Everyone that I know that uses them went through a lot of testing to make sure that they worked and carried on working.

I was told that for implementing table booseters you need to use idb.* functions. Is there any help availble on idb.* functions. Or the use is not mandatory.

Given other responses, I'd avoid table boosters in scripts. I'm cautious about things which behave with uncertainty.

There is help available for the idb.* functions in the Preformance Guide (Baan Doc# M2002A US) Chapter 4 describes Table Boosters and the idb.* functions.

Hi:
Maintain Use of Performance Boosters (tcmcs0197m000)
SESSION OBJECTIVE
To link performance boosters to sessions, to users, or to a combination of these.
NOTE: Wherever in an application a booster can be applied, but that booster has not been set in this session, the following will occur: table Use of Performance Boosters (tcmcs097) will be inserted with the booster concerned for the user and the session that is running and the validation in the field "Booster Valid" will be "Not Active"
HOW TO USE THE SESSION
Performance Boosters can be used at three levels, each starting with another identifier. The following combinations may therefore be made:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Session | Performance Booster | User |
|---------------------+---------------------+---------------------|
| Performance Booster | Session | Performance Booster |
| User | User | Session |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
It is necessary to always fill in the performance booster which should be used and the session for which the booster is valid.

Here is some information about the settings needed for using the boosters.
