Monitor Refresh

Hello,

The startup of the Deadline Monitor takes up to 10min… first deadlinelauner.exe is started; Windows7 askes if this is okay; and it takes 3min until die tray icons appears; then right click takes 1min and to start Deadline Monitor takes 8min (Refreshing Job Display)…

Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Deadline 3.1.0.36430
connected via VPN

Any hints?

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Users haven’t reported problems like this with Windows 7 before, so my guess is that it’s not Windows 7 specific. Is this machine on your local network, or is it a remote machine? Is .NET 2.0 installed on this machine? Do you notice any performance issues when browsing the repository through Windows Explorer?

Cheers,

Hi,

I use a VPN (IPSec) to connect to the network at work while I´m at home. Repository access via Explorer is okay, since it´s only a 10Mbit connection; Dot Net is already installed on this machine. UAC asks if deadlinelauncher.exe may change something, then Monitor starts slowly…

Cheers,

That probably explains the slowness. The Monitor needs to read all the repository data over the VPN, and the VPN acts like the bottleneck. In Deadline 4.0, the Monitor will get a lot of its data directly from Pulse if it’s running, so that may help improve things when viewing the repository from a remote machine, but for now, unfortunately, not much can be done about the slowness.

Thanks!

What´s the planned release date for Deadline 4.0?

Cheers,
Tim

We’re targeting around the end of November.
