6.1 Much Slower Than 5.2

Yahoo Archive
1
Thank you all for the suggestions. Vantage tech support finally
called and suggested pretty much the same things. One thing that
somehow changed is that the client workstations may have been doing
antivirus scans on the network drives. Somehow it got enabled so I
turned that off. Vantage tech also recommended going to a workstation
and running the \mfgsys61\ocx\instocx.exe file to copy the ocx files
locally and register them locally. I'm going to try all of these
things over the week and memory install and tweak over the weekend and
will share my results next week.

Thanks again,

Bruce

We recently upgraded from 5.2 to 6.1.527. All users have noticed that
Vantage runs much slower now than before. I talked to our account rep
and he said there was a lot in the forums about this type of issue,
something about 5.2 stuff left over in the registry, so I did some
searching but didn't find much. I searched Epicor's knowledgebase but
didn't find any documents there either. Any tips on how to speed it
back up? We did a 6.1 install to the same server, same server name,
different directory. Progress is still using the same directory as
the 5.2 install. I have also tweaked the memory on the server
(Progress Explorer) to devote just over 1GB solely to Vantage. I have
another GB on my desk to install but I don't think more memory is the
only fix.

Any help much appreciated!

How old are your workstations that are being used?

If you can, take one of your "average" workstations at your facility and
wipe it out completely, then reload from scratch.

Most likely you will notice an immediate performance boost on 6.1. There
are many many many little leftovers on a system that was running previous
versions. There is almost no rhyme or reason as to where a particular
workstation will suffer from slow performance. It could be in Quoting or AP
on one workstation and somewhere else on another.

I have just gotten to the point of reloading from scratch - it's faster then
trying to track down a single specific issue with a particular system. And
usually, it is time for some preventative maintenance anyway - a good
cleaning goes a long way.

6+ does benefit from a ram upgrade at the workstations. At least 256mb -
more is better.

If the fresh system with at least 256mb show no improvement - then it's off
to server and network tuning.

Good Luck

Charles

Try searching your registry for your old vantage path.

look for \\servername\path to old vantage folder and look for v:\path to old
vantage folder



I bet you will find more then a few.

Our data collection workstations are really old but the rest of our
machines are roughly 2.0GHz w/ 512MB. The machine doesn't really seem
to matter.
