RE: 30 second hang?

We occasionally have problems with WDSCi hanging when trying to resolve objects 
(filters, table lists, etc) in RSE. The hang time can easily be 30 
seconds...sometimes longer. Often a message pops-up saying the request is 
taking a long time and asking if we want to cancel the request. This happens 
regardless of workstation CPU speed and RAM size.

I suspect it has something to do with occasional bottlenecks on our iSeries. We 
develop on a test machine, and even in SEU I occasionally notice a delay in 
response due to heavy hits against the iSeries CPU. I think WDSCi responds 
badly when it happens to make a request to the iSeries at one of these 
bottleneck moments. But that's sheer speculation on my part. 

What is clear is that the problem persists, that more than one programmer in 
our shop experiences this problem, and that it has caused new users problems 
(e.g., closing WDSCi during one of these delays because it seemed locked up and 
thereby corrupting the workspace or losing unsaved changes to open source 
members).

It would be nice if WDSCi shortened the time in which it decides the response 
from the iSeries is slow and offered more diagnostic messages about delays in 
response. 

Just a thought...

Subject: [WDSCI-L] 30 second hang?


Anyone else encountering a situation where WDSC Advanced 5.1.2 will hang 
up for about 30 seconds on every user gesture?

This happens a lot when I'm in the java perspectives ... but it seems to 
happen continuously when I'm using the remote system perspective.

All I'm trying to do is edit a CL.

Basically what happens is: I perform some gesture ... like closing a 
view, cut, paste, insert a line, etc, and WDSC locks up for (approx) 30 
seconds ... often the menu bar goes white.  After that 30 seconds it 
resumes operation with the gesture complete.

I know Dave Murvin encountered something similar to this ... but not 
exactly.

FWIW: My instance of WDSC is using about 242mb of memory (I have 1gb).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

david
