Gov,
I ran debug logs for both production system fat client - where it seems to hang, and the dev/test system fat client where there is no delay.
I have attached a zip file containing both logs.
My log of the delay looks very similar to yours - but with more detail - was you jde.ini set for maximum debug logging (see below).
For maximum debug log add this line to your JDE.INI in the [DEBUG] section:
LEVEL=BSFN,EVENTS,SF_CONTROL,SF_GRID,SF_PARENT_CHILD,SF_GENERAL,SF_MESSAGING,
SF_WORKFLOW,SF_WORKFLOW_ADMIN,SF_MEDIA_OBJ
The difference in time taken between the two is significant - but the delay was not as long as it seemed. Here are the times in seconds:
Hang No hang
Click on owners 56.42 2.17
Click on objects 44.83 1.51
I haven't had a great deal of time to analyze my logs but there is quite a lot of difference in the them. I have not come across anything yet that explains the hanging. I suspect that there is some setup that is not right that is the cause.
So if anyone can shed some light on this I would (and I'm sure Gov would too) be very appreciative.
