Until I started here a couple of years ago, the NOMADS panels that were being used were being SPAWNed as separate processes off our menus. Since that would allow for multiple 'sessions' using the same FID(0), it also led to occasional file conflict problems. We've been working to remove the SPAWNing part of the sequence and just have the menu PROCESS the panel directly after hiding itself ['show'(-1)]. With a little work to undo some of the added 'hooks' for the SPAWNing, this works pretty well.
The problem we're running into is timing. When the panel was SPAWNed, it loaded and displayed VERY quickly. However, directly PROCESSing the panel generally takes quite a bit longer, sometimes 6-8 seconds or more compared to the 0-2 seconds previously. And it doesn't necessarily correlate with the number of controls on the panel. Perhaps it can sometimes be chalked up to server utilization, but it seems to be a pretty consistent differential.
We're running RHEL 7.9 (64-bit) with PxPlus v15.1 and WindX via VPN. Most of the client PCs have been upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11.
After the latest wave of updates, we're starting to get some clear complaints about this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, all!
