I am trying to speed up the response time of our system.....
The user enters their search criteria on our cearch screen and then selects
a customer they want to view. The system then goes away and gets all of
this customer's records and associated tables. Now this takes a few seconds
and the user sits there with an hour glass while the system does its thing.
Qe are using a MIDAS system architecture. This enables us to only retrieve
the specific records that belong to the customer. There are still a
considerable number of records though. We decided it would be better to get
all the customer's records up front as the user will often be viewing them
all and we prefer the system to be slower at the beginning of their work
flow rather than slowing it down during the maintenance process.
We were thinking it may be a better idea to display the main customer screen
and let the system continue on retrieving the other records and tables in
the background, allowing the user to continue their work.
Is this a viable solution?
Any hints on ways to do this or are there better ways?
thanks for any comments anyone may have.
Julien
