Running the Template Run Off Box

DevBruce

I work for a very large organization that is using Teamsite 6.1. We are running into an issue when alot of people are editing DCR's at the same time it slows the server down to a crawl.

Has someone figured out a way to run the code on the local box instead of waiting for the server to crunch through all the code?

What I'm asking is if it is possible to say run a localhost webserver on the local box, much the same way you would run apache and SQL to test code without actually uploading the code to the server?

Is this possible, and if so any guidance as to where to start and what you would need to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

What OS ?

Basic TS templates should not do this.

There are a couple of things that you may look at, 1st are you doing a lot of inline calls ? Not just a short Perl script, but inlines to DB to fill out values ? That can be a drain on startup.

Second Are there a number of FormAPI/callserver calls in you templates ? While formapi is executed on the client, callserver is run on the server and can be an issue.

Do any of these do logging for debugging ? That can certainly slow things down.

Also, what locking model do you use ? One of the lock types *was* very inefficient (I think it was mandatory write lock), could be it.

Finally, be advised that 6.1 has been EOL (end of life) so there may not be much help out there.

Basically, you have a tough one to solve. If you can repeat this (doubtful) then trying a new server with 6.7.1 would see if it was a TS specific issue.

Most likely it is your templates themselves and someone needs to go through them and see if you can improve them. Good luck. You may need it.
