Hi,
I put a post on here a while ago about accessing links to previous baselines of a module in order to view the information in the latest module. I sccessfully managed to do this, but we have found the performance of the module when the view is selected is incredibly slow and actually pretty unusable. I wondered if anyone has had any experience of this, or if there is a way of speeding this up, or even another way of doing it. I have even converted the DXL that accesses the baselines to an attribute DXL but this is still very slow. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Pippa Pippa1 - Wed Nov 18 02:00:15 EST 2015 |
Re: Viewing links to previous baselines too slow ! You will not be able speeding up the process of opening the baselines and reading out the link information. There are ways of trying to make this a better experience for the user. The easiest most straight-forward way would be to calculate the results in an offline script and write them to a text attribute. Obvious disadvantage is that you do not always have up to date information and you need write access to update the module. The more complicated approach would be to combine the advantages of Layout DXL and Attribute DXL in what I call a cached layout column. For this you will create a DXL Layout that will pull its information from a buffer and at the same time calculate the buffer slowly in the background. This way you can ease up the calculation process for the user, allowing him to browse through the module while the calculation is running. This approach is described on the forum here: GUI Backed Layout DXL (for calculating a module comparison in the background) The original description of the approach: Hope this helps, regards, Mathias |
Re: Viewing links to previous baselines too slow ! Thanks for this information Mathias. I shall have a look and try some things out.
