[BPCS-L] ** Pick Release has poor response time **...

[Lat - Sandy Sever <sandys@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

BPCS Version: 6.01.01
AS/400 Operating System: V4R4
% system ASP used: 47
IPL: 2 times a month

When we run the program for Pick Release ORD550, the processing
keeps getting slower and slower.  We have been running the same
programs for several years.  No updates to BPCS or operating system.
The response time was acceptable a year ago.  We only select one
order at a time.

My only guess is that our databases have been growing and growing,
but I don't know which one(s) would cause this to happen.  How
big of a database is to big?

I've been told not to run the reorg. programs, so I have not done
this.  Should I do this manually?  Which ones?

The order purge program was run a couple years ago. Though ending
in errors, so I haven't ran it since.

Here are some record counts if that helps:
ECL  158,000
ECH   72,000
ESN  130,000
IPP  102,000
ZPD  449,000
LLL   74,000
ELA    1,000
IIM  105,000
ILM      100
ILI  307,000


Any helpful direction would be greatly appreciated, since I'm getting
beat up by the users...

Thanks,
Sandy
