What are the performance issues and how can they be addressed? Can alternate <br />? <br />database/network configurations be used to increase performance? <br />The issue of performance always requires sensitivity, especially when the system, programs, and <br />database are large. Given that coding practices and the database design have been set for achieving <br />and maintaining the highest level of performance possible, there are two other areas that can have <br />significant impact on the overall performance of the CRDSS applicatio n, the network and the <br />operating environment capacity. <br />The network in most cases does not affect the performance of a Client/Server application. However, <br />if the total amount of network traffic is higher than the configured network capacity, then <br />performance for Client/Server applications may suffer. Additionally, if the bandwidth for the <br />network is low (e.g., 56Kb links between Client and Server locations), then performance will be <br />limited for large data transfers. <br />3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />RTi currently has all of the components required to develop, test, execute, and tune ESQL/C <br />programs for a Client/Server configuration. The required documentation and resources are also in <br />place to support the above mentioned activity. As with any new system, resource limitations, such as <br />network capacity, will only present themselves as the system evolves and is tested. The resources <br />initially available appear to be adequate for the development effort. However, the 56Kb link <br />between the RTi development machine and the State's Briefing Room machine may pose some <br />performance constraints. This may become evident as soon as testing begins. There have been some <br />discussions regarding contingencies should one be needed. One possible contingency plan includes <br />the shifting of the Server-based code from RTi's database server to the State's database server. This <br />would eliminate the 56Kb link in that the State's database server is located in the same building and <br />on the same local area network as the Briefing Room workstation. <br />2 <br />A275 05.10.94 1.05-5 Malers, Rohlfs <br />
