Title: RE: Mid Tier - Long Applet Load Time

**

I just wrote my own.   I have it scheduled to run each night to ensure that the forms are cached and ready each morning.  Now, how to programmatically flush the mid tier cache.

 

I searched the ARS List archives and the only method I found was to run IISReset on the web server.   For now this will work because I will run it at night just before I rebuild the cache files.    Has anyone figured out how to trigger a cache flush through workflow or a URL?  I searched the pdf manuals for ARS 6.3 and 7.0.

Does anyone on ARS List have this script for Mid Tier 6.3?

I think the problem is due to the method used to move information from the ARS server to the MT server for forms and workflow.  This is not so obvious when the two are located on the same network segment but can become very visible when the ARS server and MT server are separated by a great distance.  This slows down form loading to a crawl.  Of course there is a script or program that can force the MT server to 'pre-cache' once the cache is flushed.  This may or may not solve Jamie's problem...

Jamie, the issue is different between the two versions in part because the Mid-Tier architecture is completely different between v5 and v6.3 - with the more modern versions being MUCH better.  One thing I have seen that is helpful from a user experience perspective with both 6.3 and 7.0 MT is to have someone (i.e. you) open each of the forms, via the MT, that the user will likely access.  This pre-caches the copies of the forms to the MT server, which speeds up the initial load time to the user.

        I'm having the same issue and have opened a ticket with Remedy.  We'll see what they say.  My issue is that for the midtier to see the changes to workflow, I have to flush the cache.  After flushing the cache, it takes up to 2 minutes for users to access the pages for the first time.  After that everything moves very fast.  This is a midtier in AUS connecting to ARS in US.  This was working fine pre-upgrade ( 5.0).

        
        Midtier 6.3 p 18
        ARS 6.3 p18
        IIS ServletExce 5 p6
        Win 2000
        Java 1.5.01
        
        I'll update on what Remedy suggests.
        
        Thanks,
