Tech Tip:
TCL-STACK
and performance on D3 7.3
In
previous releases, the tcl-stack file had it's own mechanism
to update each tcl-stack item. The old mechanism did not go
through the normal update item as all other updates do. Although
this older tcl-stack update was very fast, it did not allow
the tcl-stack items to be logged to the transaction log or hot-backup.
With D3 7.3 versions, the tcl-stack uses the same
file time mechanism as all other system updates.
If
you have upgraded your system to D3 7.3 from another
version's base files, with the files in place, meaning you did
not load the base D3 7.3 files, the tcl-stack d-pointer
will be a 'dp' file type. By leaving the tcl-stack file definition
as a 'dp' could make your TCL commands seem to perform slower,
depending on the size of your tcl-stack.
By
changing the tcl-stack file definition item (d-pointer) a 'dptn'
file, it allows tcl-stack updates to go through normal update
item process and still be as unobtrusive on performance as possible.
Check
the file definition item (d-pointer) of the tcl-stack file.
It should now contain 'dptn' in attribute 1.
| t |
Do
not log an updated item. |
| n |
Do
not use update protection on this file. |
Should
you modify the tcl-stack data section file definition item (d-pointer)
from a 'dp' to a 'dptn', it will be necessary to logoff and
back on.
