We used to have this problem too. Now our Full Package Builds, both Client and Server, take about 5 hours, combined. What did we change?
1. Turned off real time virus protection. Prior to the actual builds, thousands of files are copied. JDE uses UNC pathing (\\server\volume\path\filename) for these copies and virus programs scan every file and can take hours to finish. UNC = Universal Naming Convention
2. Load the following two LMHOSTS settings and nothing else on your Enterprise and Deployment Servers.
###.###.###.### EnterpriseServerName #PRE
###.###.###.### DeploymentServerName #PRE
###.###.###.### = IP address for respective server
These instructions preload the two entries for these related servers and reduce name resolution time. Keep additional entries to a minimum and do not include any comments. The whole file is parsed including comments on each lookup, so keeping entries and comments to a minimum will improve performance.
3. Remove all unnecessary network protocols from both servers and any workstations used for builds. Move the TCP/IP protocol to the top whenever possible.
I hope this help someone. We wasted countless hours prior to making these changes.
