Our v11 databases (for three sites) are on a network share, and all users, editors and order managers alike, connect to it.
We're set up so that I'm the only one with editing privileges, all others have order processing only. But I'm finding that when I even click on an item, the software goes from hourglass to Not Responding to Item locked by user Admin (me), and if I click down further into each component, attribute, or choice, it does the same.
So now it's taking me five times as long to edit an item than it did in previous versions, and seriously crippling my productivity. If there's no fix, my president will insist that I find another e-comm package, and I don't want that. I have two sites with 5,000 SKUs each and a third that's pushing 50,000 SKUs. Flat-file imports are blazing fast for managing the single SKU items, but for any configurables, we've ground to a screeching halt.
I've looked at other threads, but the suggestion of "disconnect from the network" means I can't get to my database at all.
Is anyone else using a network shared database? If so, how do you get around the speed issue? Looks like it's happening to v11 databases even when they're on a local machine.
Ideas?
BTW: My machine's an Intel Core i5 3.2GHz processor with 12GB RAM, and Win7 64-bit SP1. Database is on a server, far more powerful than my own user machine.
