Rocket U2 Professional Services
Application Optimization – The Need for Speed
After you've optimized the HW, optimized the database, there's only one other place to turn.
U2 Professional Services provides an application optimization project whereby we decompose your application and reassemble it into a much faster version. We explain our techniques and propose new coding standards that can be used throughout your application. Quotes from customers "We wanted to get our end-of-day process down from eight hours to four. You showed us how to get it down to 20 minutes. Fantastic!" and "One line of code can make that much difference?!?" Interested? Please e-mail u2services@rs.com.

The following feedback was recently posted to the U2UG forum by the end user of a Rocket U2 partner.
History: About 18 months ago we migrated user accounts from a locally hosted AD domain to a remote corporate AD domain and during this time period most users would experience a significant logon delay because logon credentials were being accessed only at the single PDC EMULATOR over a wide area network 2500 miles away. Logon times were delayed in most cases about 90 seconds and only the first 50 users cached would have faster subsequent logons.
Current Status: We upgraded from 10.2.10 to 11.1.1 this past weekend and feedback from our users has been overwhelmingly positive about how fast they can log in now - in just a few seconds!
I thought I would make everyone aware of this significant improvement (for AD WAN installations) and acknowledge Rocket Software for fixing this long-standing issue! It certainly pays to read the release notes when announced from Rocket.
The release notes for 11.1.1 documented the following improvement:
| UNV-3858 |
UniVerse -- At UniVerse 11.1.1, an upgrade was made to make Directory Services calls to
retrieve the login path information. These calls are directed to any (or the closest, if the
network is properly configured) Active Directory server that contains Domain Controller
Information about login paths. Also, username/sid/uid cache is now used for all types of
users.
What improves:
- Login speed
For first user access after UV shutdown/restart: due to the ability to reach a closer
situated AD server for the information (fast)
For subsequent user access: due to the use of username/sid/uid cache (fastest)
- Reliability
Due to the ability to retrieve user authentication either from cache or any AD server
even if the server containing PDC role is down or inaccessible - which is the main
problem with slow or unreliable networks.
