We have upgraded from 3.4 M030 to 3.4 M062 and are experiencing major problems opening files in Pro/E from a site that uses a replicated server.
When I access the dataserver onsite I have no issues with checkout "Required" to Workspace or open in Pro/E (15 min). We use "Required" to get 3700 files opposed at "All" 16000 files.
When I take the same laptop with the same settings to the replica site I have no problems with checkout to Workspace but open in Pro/E takes over an hour. With our old FRU setup this took10-15 minutes
The issue seems to be inherited dependencies that are retrieved by Pro/E. The content is retrieved quickly from the replica but thendata is sent and requested thousands of times between the client and thedataserver bring the regen to a crawl but never maxing outthe bandwidth.
I have also tested with WF4 M060 and WF2 M180 with no change in performance
Our original configuration was:
3.4 M030
Pro/E WF2 M280
Solaris 9 using Field Replacable Units (FRU's)
Our new configuration
3.4 M062
WF2 M280 (soon to be wF4 M060)
Solaris 10 using zones
All data was rsync'd for several weeks before the cutover.
