==== A/Rev Migration to new server (Networking Products) ====

<QUOTE>
A client recently moved their entire 3.12 A/Rev applications database to an isolated server.  Version 1.5 of the AREV NLM is loaded as it was on the old server and all the same Novell patches are loaded as well. However, the performance has dropped significantly. While the new server has a faster CPU, it does not have as much RAM (128 megs vs. 700+ on the old server).  Could this be a possible cause?

<QUOTE>Hard to say. If there's heaps of traffic/users then 

maybe. More likely to be network card / router /

hub issues. Add a second (100 mbit) network card to

the server and route half the traffic through it.

This may help. Check the new network for competing

traffic / unnecessary protocols / TTS loaded by

mistake/default (flag -T all arev files). Check for

dodgy connections.

<QUOTE>Possibly but not probably...



I'd look at 3 other things instead of RAM issues.



1)  Disks.  Are the disks on the new server as fast and, are they SCSI or IDE.  If they were changed to IDE (even faster times than the SCSI) then you will probably see degraded performance.



2)  Network traffic and path to the new server vs the old one.



If the people accessing the application are going further to get to the app across a buisy network, then the traffic is quite possibly the culprit.



3)  Version of Netware.  If you canged to 4x or 5x netware from 3x, you probably lost a touch of performance.  Like many programs, older versions tend to run faster on newer machines where as the newer, more advanced programs, tend to run a bit slower.  This applies to NOS as well as applications that run on them.



Hope this helps,
