1083.0. "Ingres batch job takes all weekend" by STOHUB::GOLFNG::DONOVAN (Patti Donovan, 445-6390) Fri Feb 07 1992 21:10

    A customer who is not very technical told me that it was taking all
    weekend for their batch Ingres job to run.  There work around is to
    unload the database to a batch file (this takes about 2 hours), run the
    batch job, and reload the database (this takes about 3 hours).
    
    I forgot to ask how big the database was.  Does this sound unusually
    slow when there is minimal activity on the system over the weekend?  
    
    Anyone else run into this?  We are trying to get them to use ACMS
    and/or convert to Rdb.

    Your question can't really be answered as it is too general, and we
    have no description of the workload. They could have:
    
    	1) Design problems
    	2) Product problems
    	3) Application code problems
    	4) Or expected behaviour for the work with their hardware
    configuration.
    	5) May need system tuning help.
    
    It might be helpful to have an EIS consultant look at this. If a
    remedial problem is suspected, then support (Ingres or us if it's
    ULTRIX/SQL) could be contacted.
