RE: Bandwidth usage per FAT client user

Has anyone measured actually what bandwidth is required for a FAT client
user doing normal development job on JDE OW Xe ? Or is it documented
somewhere ??

Info required asap...
Thanks in advance...

RE: Bandwidth usage per FAT client user

Mrityunjay,

bandwidth is not so much the questions in case of a fat client. Even if
you had a very good WAN connection, the chatty ODBC or/and OCI database
protocols will kill any remote connection. Lots of IP packages are going
back and forth between database and fat client. Latency is the problem
here!
Why would you want to know this ???

When B7331 first came out I connected a fat client over a 64Kbit line
satelite line, 500 ms of latency. It took about 10 minutes to log in,
another 10 minutes to get the Adressbook screen up, before the whole
thing crashed. The client used WTS after that and is happy ever since
(with the connection at least).

At another occasion I connected a fat client over a 32kbit line, just a
wire from computer to computer, so minimal latency, and it was not so bad!
I do not , however, recommend this for a production environment! ;-)

Hope this helps, Gerd

RE: Bandwidth usage per FAT client user

I want to use this FAT client for remote development?? Can a citrix or WTS
thin client be used for remote development?? Or is there any way by which we
can develop JDE programs or even configure remotely. This model is called
offshore development and is quite cost effective for customers.

Any experience on this subject is welcome..

Regards,
mk

Kumar :

With a few OneWorld tricks, it's possible to do remote development via
WTS or PCAnywhere-like tools.

Yes, it is possible to get the development done on a Terminal Server. If you are a single developer, there are tricks published in the Knowledge Garden on how to get this done.

It is also possible to have multiple people on a Terminal Server doing development. However, those tricks are not published, and are definitely not supported by JDE.
