Kbase P66240: Large value for -Bt causes slow startup of Progress client

Status: Verified

SYMPTOM(s):

Slow AppServer startup with large -Bt parameter

Large value for -Bt causes slow startup of Progress client

Startup is fine with Progress 9.1D06

Long delay at client startup with high value for -Bt

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.1D
Progress 9.1E
OpenEdge 10.0A

CAUSE:

BUG# 20040204-025

FIX:

Decrease the value for -Bt and use -tmpbsize 8 in order to allocate same buffer size for temp-tables with less value for -Bt (the high value, is the reason, why client starts slowly).

The -tmpbsize has been introduced in 9.1D07 (and later).

Example: Original value -Bt 32000 (no -tmpbsize, ie default 1) causes slow startup -> workaround start your client with -Bt 4000 -tmpbsize 8.

The original issue is fixed in 10.0A01 and 10.0B.
