We use sage Line 50 V10 on a network with Actinic Link (Latest Version) to import orders from 4 stores.
Developer 6 is installed on one workstation along with Actinic Link. The problem is the import speed is very slow. Typically when we have 4 or 5 users logged on to sage, although they have acceptable speed, when we run the link it takes at least one to one and a half minutes to post each order. This means if we have 2 or three orders each from each storeand we want to download them every half hour (as we do in the afternoons to meet dispatch times) the whole process is very slow. We have used other Sage SDO module products in the past and found the same speed issues but not quite as bad.
We have spoken to Sage to check our network and Sage setup is optimised.
We think it is unlikely to be a hardware issue, We have a Xeon server with 1GB ECC memory and U320 SCSI hard disk operating on Windows 2000 SBS . Connection is by gigabit switched network and the work stations (7 total 5 Sage users) are all PIII 1000 with windows XP Pro, 512 MB RAM and 7200 rpm UDMA 100 disks.
Each workstation has the Sage Line 50 accounts folder on the server mapped as a network drive, One workstation has Actinic Link and Developer 6 installed.
We have noticed that export from sage via the Actinic Link module is quite fast it is only the posting of orders that is slow.
We know we could speed things up considerably by running link and developer on the server but this is something we would not want to do, neither would we want to make a workstation the 'server' for sage line 50.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
