Re: TurnOver and RDi - problem with working with forms/objects from distant location

This isn't the correct forum for TURNOVER support.
I would recommend you contact SoftLanding.

When you do contact them, you'll find that there have been enhancements
lately to the form display functionality within RDi which increases
performance.

Hello,

I have big issues when it comes to working with forms in TurnOver in
Rational Developer for i. My office is located few hundreds kilometers from
server office.
The bigger the form(more objects), the more time I need to wait before
form will be displayed in RDi. When form have few objects on it, it can
take 30 second to just display it and it can take 1 minute or more to edit
object on form than another minute for saving the form and soo on.
For bigger forms (more than 15 objects), displaying the form take 3-4
minutes and it is the same time for every other action on the form. Imagine
that I need to modify few things on one form, My RDi freeze for few minutes
every time. It is just not usable.

Thing is that displaying the same form in location where out servers are
located take maybe few seconds and many times it is just instant.

The important thing is working with TurnOver using terminal emulator
(5250) is much, much faster. That is because it is remote session and it
works like I'm physically on server, while when using RDi everything need
to go through our network. I can be wrong here but it looks like that. Not
sure how it look on server side.

Of course it is not only TurnOver and forms which give me headache.
Generally speaking, doing many things in RDi is really slow, compared to
doing the same thing on terminal session. Opening big spoolfile take a lot
of time.

I've checked network and it looks ok. Ping is 60ms and latency itself is
not a problem but I can see application response going up linear with the
network delay. But it seems the application is sending an awful lot of
small packets. You can understand that if it takes 100 packets to send and
receive query & response, you need to multiply that by the response time à
100 x 60ms= 6 seconds and we have like 30000 packets depending on form size.

Does anyone here work with RDi & TurnOver and have/had similar issues?
