Re: Has anyone done any processing with OA and WORKSTN device

Hi Tom

Sorry I didn't catch what you were asking. Anyhow, performance of OA is almost completely dependent on what the handler does, hence, the handler creator has to speak to that. I have seen a little delay with the one I've written, but I don't attribute it to the runtime OA component yet, because there is network connectivity and stuff happening at a remote server, as well as at a remote database.

The RPG runtime does have to resolve to a procedure in a service program or a program. I'd see this as the same as resolving any dynamic call, so it won't be the main issue.

I hope this gives you some idea of how OA works - its own performance (the RPG runtime, that is) will be just about as regular RPG is. There is probably a little overhead when populating the name-value arrays for each format and for keys. I might sometime take timestamps to see what the time is, I suspect it is very efficiently done, although moving data takes time, no matter what. The structures are not the same as the input or output buffers, so some data movement has to occur.

Of course, I'm guessing about some of this - nothing is handed down to me from on high in Toronto!

I have notified the vendor, just thought I could get some insight into OA
and how it performed.
Thanks.
