That depends on what really that Active Link does. What does it do? And what is 
the requirement around which you have built that AL?

hello,

Thanks for the reply.
We have an active link on Incident Management Console with an interval
of 1 min to refresh the incidents table in the console (Change Field
Action).
This could be one of the reasons for the performance degradation.

Can you please suggest any other alternative ways to achieve this
which wouldn't hit the performance?

Thanks

Princy,
Performance optimization of ARS include lot of parameters, below are the few
of them which you can try.
You can go for the configuration of the list & fast threads along with the
private queues.
Analyze the SQL logs & confirm which SQL queries are taking time.
Configure the server for qualified searches only.
Indexing major tables which always come in more searches is a prime one.
Check out for QBE searches in field properties.
Set field actions while opening a child form which generally produces  the
white screen while fetching the data from the parent form.
Cache files on the client desktops (delete *.arf & *.arv files) may be for
few clients.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mahendra Mahalkar

Re: Performance issues with BMC AR Server 7.1

2010-06-21 Thread Walters, Mark
I'd suggest that you need to try and break this problem down to look at it in 
more detail - you're unlikely to find a single configuration setting that will 
suddenly make the system perform acceptably.  

Identify one or two key activities that you consider to be performing poorly - 
submitting an incident or running some other piece of workflow for example.  
Enable server and client side logging and reproduce the problem several times.  
Review the logs and see where the time is being spent - it may be a particular 
piece of workflow or query that is taking a long time.

It's interesting to note that admin users are not seeing the same issues.  The 
most obvious difference is that admin users will not be subject to the 
permission checking that ordinary users are.  Do you have a large number of 
permission groups configured?

The Optimizing and Troubleshooting manual has lots of information about how to 
debug performance issues.

Mark

Hi All,

We are facing lot of performance issues with the Remedy Server, which is making 
it very slow to access.
Found in other posts that the "Refresh On Entry Change" option if enabled is 
the cause for most of the performance degradation issues.

And on incidents form,  for most of the tables this option is enabled.
Would like to know if disabling this option would increase the performance.

Another issue we are facing is that few users (with Admin permissions) when 
access the system, they find it fast.
But other users like problem engineer/service desk user when access the system, 
it is very slow and unusable.
Could some one please throw light on this issue?

 Thanks.

Princy,

You might want to check the qualification in the table fields and optimize
those so there are no table scans and the queries make use of available
indexes.
