Fetch slow on Large documents
David_Conway_(paclif03dc_-_(deleted))
I'm having an issue with the Livelink java API where I am copying files from Livelink to my file system. Everything appears to work well, however, when I encounter larger files like 3.5MB it takes an inordinant amount of time to copy, usually around 19 minutes.If I copy a doc half the size, say 1.7MB, it only takes 2 minutes. It appears as if there is some kind of problem in the API with buffer size that is exposed with large document sizes. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it a bug they are looking into?Sample code:LAPI_DOCUMENTS lldoc = new LAPI_DOCUMENTS(llsess); lldoc.FetchVersion(VOLID, objID, versionID, addFilePath)

Message from Carsten Kulms via eLinkI wonder even about the download time for smaller documents: 2min for1.7M is really bad. Since I was unable to reproduce the described behaviour and there aremany other possible causes, I do not think that you have encountered a`fancy` LAPI bug.Through what kind of network the LAPI client accesses the Livelinkserver?Is Livelink using filesystem or database storage for documents?Is a virus scanner active on the client machine?Have you tried if the same can be observed when fecthing large documentsfrom a different LES instance, e.g. a local installation?

All good thoughts.Something that seems odd is that I can "download" the document from Livelink pretty quickly. However, when I'm pulling it using the API the same instant, it's about 10 times slower. Any ideas?Livelink is using filesystem, windows NT network, yes machine contains a virus scanner on Windows O/S.
