Re: Domino on 400 with Citrix

One thing I've found handy when doing troubleshooting with client
performance is to enable some debug parameters in the client notes.ini. Just
paste in this section below and then remove the semi-colon from each of the
parameters after closing the client. Then when you launch the client you'll
get some good debugging. You'll also get a black console window that will
show everything as it's happening. When you get to the part where
performance is bad, flip to the window and see where it's waiting.

An example of debug output for a problem that was because of unread marks
being enabled is this:
RCV_UNREAD[22060] 48938 ms. [106+8850=8956]

As you can see, the 48,938 ms meant that we were waiting around 49 seconds
for the unread marks (that weren't needed) to be calculated. Hopefully
you'll be able to see a lag and pinpoint where it may be.

Performance has not really changed. It is just getting more attention. We
have had the network crew studying, testing and tweaking this. They say
it is not a bandwidth issue or a Class of Service issue. The applications
themselves are about 10 years old and could probably use some rewrites,
but that is not going to happen due to the cost. Response time over the
LAN with the client and server at the same location is fine.

Re: Domino on 400 with Citrix






Why are these databases performing worse now? I've got to think that
usually
it's bandwidth that causes this problem, is this a problem because of file
attachments or is there something else at play?

We have a single iSeries running Domino on a dedicated 270 supporting 3
WAN locations. Response time in our workflow databases at the remote
locations is becoming a hot issue. It hasn't really changed recently,

but

it is getting a lot of attention. We are considering a Citrix server to
improve response time. We have a "little" experience with Citrix
supporting a different application. Is this a proven solution or am I
blazing a new trail here? Has anyone published a cookbook for pulling
this off?
