RE: Time to create a new process instance

Hi Greg,
 
This does seem to be a bit long, fpr me to start my processes etc. takes < 5
seconds (This is for the MVC To connect to the sharkserver over the wire,
for Shark Server to slam a few variables on the process context, start the
process, run the first few activities till it hits a manual start, and
return the manual start activity back to the MVC).
 
I Had a problem where this was taking up to 120seconds to do, and we traced
it down to a network issue of the network cards being forced to 100Mb, when
we set it to Auto-Detect, the performace improved substancially.
 
Just a bit of background info for you.
 
Personnally I Think that's a bit long, however, what are the 5 activities
doing?? (They are not perhaps lingering on some time).

PS: If you are running anything over the network, check your connectivity. (
The network stuff took us about a week to figure out )

Subject: [shark] Time to create a new process instance


I'm running Shark 1.1 using a Oracle 8i (I've also tried 9i) for a database.
Its taking approximately 30 seconds to create a new process and return using
the workflowConnection.createProcess(package_id, process_id);  method.
 
Our process is fairly simple and only have five activities.  We're setting
about 10 process context variables.  Is this typical for most other people's
experiences?  That seems like an awful lot of time to create a process?  I
haven't done any database tuning since running the Shark configure when we
setup the database.
 
Any feedback on your experience would be appreciated.
 
Greg
