Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 32 Intel
SYMPTOM(s):
When 4GL program runs in batch, launching Windows applications stalls
Launch time of a Windows application increases when the batch client is running in the background
Launch of application has increased from 3 seconds to 45 seconds
Problem does not occur when launching notepad, or the Internet Explorer icons
CAUSE:
Windows is using DDE (dynamic data exchange) when launching an application to open a file. The DDE is broadcasting a message to all open applications. The application is waiting until Progress responds to the DDE call before launching.
FIX:
To workaround the issue try one of the following:
1. After launching the batch client wait 1 minute before launching the affected application.
2. Use the AT schedule or soon.exe tool to schedule the batch processes.
3. When the problem appears to be a htm file, launch the Internet Explorer browser and then browse to the htm file.
