Product: OpenFusion CORBA Services

Version: ALL

Description:

We are seeing very long times when trying to bring up the OpenFusion Manager GUI.

We have about 15 developers with separate domains. When we try to bring up the manager, it is taking upwards of 5 minutes to come up.

Do you have any suggestions on what we can look at to see why it is taking so long to initiate the manager GUI?

Resolution:

By default the GUI will preload all properties associated with the OpenFusion services in all domains, and ping all of the services to see what state they are in (i.e. started, stopped etc...). This is why it is taking so long to start up the GUI.

In order to reduce the time it takes to start the GUI you can :

1. De-select "Preload Properties" (which is a property at the top Domain level -> "General" Tab). GUI will start up more quickly, but the performance of the GUI once started will degrade as it will have to load the properties of the nodes, services, etc. when you select them
2. Start the manager with "-noorb" option. This will reduce the time it takes to start the GUI but only allows it to be used as an XML configuration tool. It starts the GUI without a connection to the ORB and does not allow services to be stopped or started, and does not report any status information from the services. This is a good option if you simply want to change some service properties and want to use the command line to start and stop the services.
