Brian, Perhaps I am having a slow day, but I'm not quite clear on the scenario you are describing.
"I have 4500 records on an LDAP form that need to be updated." Is this an ARDBC LDAP form? Are you wishing to update the original data from your LDAP data source, or are you attempting to update/transform the LDAP data as it is imported into another regular form in Remedy? "One [option] is to use an escalation that pushes all the records, or the other option, to use a form that initiates a push on ALL the LDAP records to push over to the second form." I'm sure I'm missing something here. These two options sound more or less identical. With the first option, is this an escalation on the ARDBC LDAP form? Where is the escalation pushing the records to (if not to the second form you mentioned)? With the second option, you mention using a "form" to initiate a push... Is this the aforementioned "second form"? What workflow object is initiating the push fields action (if not an escalation)? If it is a filter, which form is the filter attached to, and what are the execution criteria (execute on, Run If, Push Fields If)? --Thomas ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Goralczyk Newsgroups: gmane.comp.crm.arsystem.general To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 1:08 PM Subject: Efficiency question ** This is more of a "looking for a consensus or opinions" type email. Running ARS 7.0.01 Patch 2 on a shared windows box that connected to an Oracle database that is on a different shared box. Using the User Tool but I don't think that matters. The situation: I have 4500 records on an LDAP form that need to be updated. I am pushing them to another form to perform the work. I have two options. One of them is to use an escalation that pushes all the records, or the other option, to use a form that initiates a push on ALL the LDAP records to push over to the second form. I state that it is an LDAP form to indicate that I am using an external data source, however; I don't believe that makes a difference. I would believe that option 2 would be quicker as it doesn't use the single threaded escalation process, however; this is not what I have found to be the case. There is a discrepancy of 6 minutes with the escalation taking 7 minutes to run. As you can see, this could be quite worrisome. Any ideas or suggestions or even just straighten me out.
