TeamSite DCR Load TIme

tjmoretto

I'm working on an engagement to implement TeamSite for a considerably complex data model. Basically, it requires our DCRs to have a few layers of Container / Replicant nesting, each layer of which is unbounded in terms of duplication.

I'm looking for ways to reduce the load time for a given DCR when TS editors would like to edit a file. After some experimentation, it is clear that the limiting factor for DCR load time is in the amount of containers / replicants that must be rendered.

Does anyone have any suggestions around reducing the time it takes to load a DCR (other than eliminating containers or splitting DCRs into multiple forms)?

Is there a method to have a DCR loaded progressively as opposed to all-at-once?

Thanks,
-T

Well, I'll ask the obvious questions...

TS VERSION (with patches, etc.), OS, ETC.?

What do the containers/replicants consist of? Can you please post your DCT?

Also, are there any inlines that are fired within items in those containers?

Current Project: TS 6.1
Environment: Solaris

Thanks for replying,

TS VERSION: 6.5.0 Service Pack 1
OS: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

Below is the DCT. None of the items are complex at all, mainly because we are creating DCRs outside of TeamSite and using TS only to open the files for review. There are no inlines being called within the containers. The final container makes a MediaBin connector browser call.

Load times are halved when we eliminate the most nested replicant (Replicant C). Is there a way to load this partially in the browser?

Wow, you're going to have to try that again... please Attach the file this time instead of just pasting it.

Sorry, looks like the DCT didn't make the last post.

Please see the post at 12:32pm PDT for the DCT - it didn't make my initial post.

Thanks,
