SYMPTOM(s):
Performance problem when starting a 4GL progress session
Starting directory of shortcut is on a remote drive/directory
CAUSE:
-T to localdirectory is not used when starting the session.
As the starting directory of shortcut is on a remote drive and -T is not used, then the temporary files of the Progress session are also located on the remote Drive.
The temporary files *.dbi *.lbi and *.srt have a very high activity requirement and definitely need to be located on a local drive of the Client Machine
FIX:
Either change the starting directory of the shortcut or use the -T Client Session Startup Parameter to manage the temporary files on a local directory.
The following code can help to find out where the temporary files are located MESSAGE SESSION:TEMP-DIRECTORY VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.
It is absolutely not possible to do any further investigation about performance issues as long as the temporary files are located on a remote directory.
