Re: Speeding up IFS access

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

First off, are you running a current version of ACS?
IBM made big improvements back in 1.1.8.5

Possibly, you can change the Java heap size to help...

Though I can see 100k files in seconds without adjusting memory.

Lastly, if you know what you are looking for (or not looking for) setting
the filters helps as it filters on the server side.

HTH,
Charles
