Re: iSeries Access Express V5R2M0 & V5R3M0 slow to start

Is the Citrix server and the AS400 in the same subnet?

Subject: iSeries Access Express V5R2M0 & V5R3M0 slow to start


We are a ASP (Application Service Provider) company that runs iSeries Acces 
Express for our
customers via Citrix Presentation Server 3.0 on a Windows Server 2003 TS 
platform.
When starting iSeries Access Express to any iSeries server the application 
takes 
very long time
to start via RDP or ICA protocol. I´ve clocked it to about 25 seconds before 
the 
gray logon-
screen appears. 

 If I start iSeries Access Express (same *.ws file) locally from the servers 
console  it starts on
app. 5 seconds. We have multiple users and customers that are using iSeries 
Access from our
servers and the delay of 20 seconds, I think will drive them crazy. It sure 
drive me crazy. :-)

 We are currently running V5R2M0 sith SP SI16136. The problem remains if I 
install the latest
SP for V5R2M0 and still remains when I tried with V5R3M0 SP SI20055 (current 
SP).

 When installing iSeries Access Express we shoose customized installation and 
remove the
following components to keep the client as thin as possible (the list below is 
translated from
Swedish so it may be incorrect terms :-)):

 - Additional components
- Basic functions
- OLE DB Provider
- AFP Workbench Viewer
- PDF/PDT -files for PC5250
- Printer drivers

 Is it anyone out there who are running the same concept as we or are familiar 
with our problem.

Thanks!
