RTC Loading Plans - Performance Issues
3 answers
Further input is appreciated...

Anyone using the eclipse client? (I would love to know what you see there)
It looks like some of the performance improvements were included in 3.0.1.4 (see Task 212535) . That would be a good upgrade if you can talk your team into it.
Another idea I had was to rule out your network by using the Performance Health Check widget but that was delivered in 4.0 as well.
Hi Tom
The best way I have found to debug this is to use a tool in your browser (eg: FireBug on FF) to look at the traffic to see if there are any errors, or where there is a delay in sending/receiving info. You can also try disabling all browser addins and see if that helps, then isolate the addin that could be causing the problem.
There is one other thing you can check. Make sure your database server is on the same network segment as your RTC server. I have seen poor web performance in general when the DB server is a long way from the RTC app server (many network hops).
Hi we are no one is using the Eclipse client, all browser based use.
Anthony, we confirmed DB server is on same network segment as app. servier.
multiple CCM servers with limited JTS servers. currently we are building controlled projects on the CCM servers so we can start running performance analysis tests using a set of projects that won't change, so we can baseline and verify change deltas..
we are desperate for performance improvements.. 4.0 is on the horizon, but further out than we can stand waiting for.

What version of RTC are you using? There have been various performance improvements in RTC 4.0, including loading plans (https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Foundation#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=185124 )

JAZZ DEVELOPER Jul 24 '12, 9:06 a.m.I have also heard that there are various techniques to simplify plan types that help with the initial loading. However I do not have experience doing this. If I can hunt down details I will post.

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER Jul 24 '12, 6:40 p.m.Can you say more about your environment (e.g., where are the servers hosted, how do users reach them, etc.)? Are there issues with other applications and network performance? Do you know (or can you find out) if any compression is enabled when the web servers are sending data to the clients (this can dramatically reduce the size of the data moving on the network)?
For the plans, which plan types/views are being used?
