Hi there,

I need your help and advise: when using a tcl/tk scriptfile my IBM workstaion dramatically slows down. It takes 2-3 seconds after each mouse-click to see the graphics reacting. I have same trouble with the proam-panel. I assume it is also written in tcl/tk.

Anybody out there who can help?

thanks a lot.

Tom

Just a comment: Same problem on x86_64 Linux, proam tcl/tk menues are extremely slow.

Star support could not reproduce the problem, they suggest:

I'm not able to reproduce your problem on our machines. It seems to be a system-specific problem. Please have a look at the way the license for proam is checked out. Is the proam-executable located on our local machine or on another machine? This might be reasons why proam is so slow on your local machine. If your local network-speed is slow.

Best Regards

Alex

Regarding the slow menu on Linux 64bit: If you have the possibility, use the 32bit version of proam. That should make the menu behave normally.

thanks a lot for your suggestions - but in my case proam runs locally (so no networking bottle neck) and it is the same behaviour when executing a tcl-script file in prostar/proam from the users tool.

any other ideas?

I am sorry to tell you, that there is no remidy. At the adapco support this problem for AIX 5.1 is known. Someone at the support asked me (!) if I have this problem an AIX 5.1 !!!

I think the problem belongs to IBM. I have other software which is not as slow as the ProAM-panel, but much slower as on AIX 4.3 and on Linux x86.

When I start the old v3150A on AIX 5.1 there is no problem ProAM-Pannel-speed. Funny thing.

The problem with TCK/TK being slow seems to be related to using 64bit versions. The reason 3.150A runs fast is most likely that its still a 32 bit version.
