Lately our printing times have increased substantially.
I have restarted the Process Server and Task Agent which usually helps.
I have a print server which I also rebooted.
We have certain times like shift change where we get a wave of printing activity, could this be a tuning parameter which I could increase ?
Thanks,
Neil
Always start with running the Performance and Diagnostic Tool > Config Check and address any warnings/failures it reports to start.
Since stopping the Process Server and Task Agent didn’t fix it, I went for the nuclear option.
This was finally solved with a full reboot of the Epicor Server as well as the print server and terminal server.
I suspect it was the Terminal Server but at this point it doesn’t matter. Bigger fish to fry.

I am back to having this problem again.
Does anyone have any ideas why this keeps cropping up ?
Thanks,
Neil
One thing we were told by Epicor was to clear the files that are created under /EpicorData. If I understand it correctly, it dumps all the crashed reports here. It won’t let you delete some if they are still connected. We were told to clear as many as we could once a month or so. I hope that helps.
It deleted some of my message. The location is servername/EpicorData.
@DeanC thanks for the tip.
I have scripts that clean out all the usual folders so nothing over 30 days should be laying around.
I suspect there is a service that somehow doesn’t release handles or memory that sometimes gets confused.
@aidacra I have installed the Performance and Diagnostics Tool but it is pointing to my Epicor 10 instance.
Do I need to install a different one to get info for my Epicor 9 instance ?
Thanks,
Neil
The E10 PDT cannot be used with E905.
Navigate to \Epicor905_server_name_goes_here\Epicor905\Utilities\E9 Performance Diagnostic Tool
right-click on the Setup.exe and run as admin.
Then, launch the E9 Performance Diagnostic Tool
Tools > options.
Fill in your specific server name, port (9401 for production by default), a security manager username/password, and the BO directory (which is your client folder)
Click Update.
Click Config Check tab.
Click Check Configuration.

Hope that helps.

@aidacra thanks for the info. I guess I had the Epicor9 diagnostics after all.
The only thing that jumped out at me was this.
I don’t have the KB numbers of the E905 rules in our new epiccare system but if you create a case I can send you info from our previous KB system.
Hi
can this diagnostics tool be ran whilst the app servers are turned on?
Absolutely, yes.
This looks like a database issue and is part of the performance. Basically there are a number of non-indexed tables which means searches will take longer to run.
I would consult with a DBA on what to do with this.
