Progress OE 10.1B03 Enterprise RDBMS

[rabjac]

Guys,

Anyone using a Sunfire T2000 server as a DB server running OE10.1B03?

I have an issue at the moment that when I run an idxbuild it takes twice as long to complete using the T2000 than it does using a Dell PE 6850 with less RAM.

Any thoughts? I'm at my wits end.

where are the temporary files stored? local vs network

All sort/temp files are held locally on separate disk from database.

I can't give you any hardware comparisons, but here's a handy tip that anyone can use:

If you're rebuilding indexes on more than one table, you can run several idxbuild processes in parallel. That's generally faster than a single process.

Cheers, Mike.
