Troubleshooting Worksheet -- Multi-Tier Driver, System Performance
Use this form to gather information which will help us better assist you.
System Information
- What product are you using?
- What are the names of the files that you downloaded?
- What is the product version and release number?
- What is the name and version of the Operating System containing your Multi-Tier client components?
- Provide the output of
uname -a
for Linux and other Unix-like machines.
- What is the name and version of the Operating System containing your Multi-Tier server components?
- Provide the output of
uname -a
for Linux and other Unix-like machines.
Problem Description
- Has this problem always existed?
- If this problem is new, describe any changes to the database, network, and machines in this architecture.
- Is this problem associated with heavy load?
- Provide Data Source Name Connection Parameters.
Server Environment
- What are your database server's kernel tuning parameters?
- What is your database server's patch level?
- Did you install your server components on the database native server?
- If you answered yes to the above, could you install your server components on a machine that contains the database native client? This could be the same machine or a gateway.
(Routing connections through the database native client may speed performance in problem environments.)
- If you answered yes to the above, could you install your server components on a machine that contains the database native client? This could be the same machine or a gateway.
(Routing connections through the database native client may speed performance in problem environments.)
- What is your database native client version?
- Are you establishing a connection to Progress? Is it running in sockets or shared memory?
Problem Isolation
- Is the problem specific to one client machine?
- Is this problem specific to one client application?
- Do other ODBC drivers outperform OpenLink ODBC drivers?
- Is this a LAN, MAN, WAN, or VPN?
- Can you quantify the amount of data that is being returned?
- What are the data types of the data being returned?
- Have you checked the Defer Fetching of Long Data checkbox (for binary data only)
- Do you know the cursor modality your application employs?
- Set your Data Source's Rowbuffer Size to 1.
Test.
Set your Rowbuffer Size to 99.
Test.
Do you see any difference in performance?
Other Considerations
-
OpenLink's Single-Tier drivers outperform Multi-Tier drivers.
Could you switch?
-
OpenLink's latest drivers have faster communications layers.
If you have an older driver, can you upgrade?
- Performance problems may stem from the way you have structured your tables.
Can you provide a table schema for a problem table?
