Re: MAPICS-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 247 -- MAPICS-L

We are not experts on Terminal Services but we have found time and time 
again that performance issues were related more to Client Access rather 
than the Paper-Less Powerbuilder application.  Paper-Less uses Client 
Access to access the data on the AS400.  Beginning with V5R1, there were 
some significant performance improvements.  What version of Client Access 
are you running?  It is also crucial that you be up-to-date with your 
Client Access Service Packs.  We had a customer who recently improved 
their performance from minutes for a single transaction down to about 2 
seconds.  Their issue was that they were current with Service Packs on the 
Client/PC, but not on the AS400.  You would also want to verify that your 
PCs meet the minimum requirements for running Powerbuilder and of course 
that your AS400 is capable of handling the workload.  Have you done any 
comparisons by running the same steps in the Green Screen/RPG application 
and the Powerbuilder/Client application for timing?

Hope this information is helpful.  If you need more ideas, please don't 
hesitate to contact ISE through your support channel.

If you shut down half on you're client is you're performance then better.

We run 8 clients on one server (but this is terminal Server 2000 (4 xeons
800Mhz)  and not 2003) running on a pretty old AS400 (170).

Performance is not fantastic but it will do.

Memory can be an issue on windows 2003.

Is you're terminal server only dedicated to plm&c or does it also host 
other
applications.

Check you're windows 2003 task manager at look at the performance.

Memory usage per client etc.
