3.1.3 Response of JP1/AJS3 Console View

You can calculate an approximate value for the JP1/AJS3 Console View response time using the formula below.

Response time =

Processing-time-at-JP1/AJS3-Console-Manager

+ data-transfer-time

+ drawing-time

Organization of this subsection

(1) JP1/AJS3 Console Manager processing time

If the computer in which it is installed has low processing performance, JP1/AJS3 Console Manager will exhibit long processing times.

The processing at JP1/AJS3 Console Manager is as follows:

(a) Connection (user authentication)

When you connect to JP1/AJS3 Console Manager from JP1/AJS3 Console View, the authentication server is accessed to authenticate the user.

If the computer running the authentication server has not been started, or if multiple authentication servers are used, there is a corresponding lengthening of processing time, communications processing might time out at JP1/AJS3 Console View and the error message KAVC4506-E (A timeout occurred while waiting for the response from the connection-destination) might be displayed.

The default value for this timeout is 300 seconds. You can customize this value. However, the appropriate timeout value differs considerably depending on factors including the network conditions and computer performance. Measure the response time in the environment you are using and estimate an appropriate value.

For details about customizing the timeout value, see 14.2.4 Specifying communication options in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

(b) Acquiring and updating definition data

When you acquire definition data in JP1/AJS3 Console Manager from JP1/AJS3 Console View, or update definition data, the main processing performed at JP1/AJS3 Console Manager is referencing and updating the definitions stored in the disk, and the disk I/O performance necessarily affects this processing.

When communications processing times out at JP1/AJS3 Console View, the error message KAVC4506-E (A timeout occurred while waiting for the response from the connection-destination) might be displayed.

The default value for this timeout is 300 seconds. You can customize this value. However, the appropriate timeout value differs considerably depending on factors including the network conditions and computer performance. Measure the response time in the environment you are using and estimate an appropriate value.

To increase stability of performance, you must estimate the entire load on the server, taking into account the frequency of disk access by other applications, the circumstances of CPU use, and so on.

For details about customizing the timeout value, see 14.2.4 Specifying communication options in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

(2) Data transfer time

Data transfer time is affected by the network performance between JP1/AJS3 Console View and JP1/AJS3 Console Manager. Note also that when many objects are displayed on a screen, it takes a correspondingly long time to display the screen.

(3) Drawing time

The main influence on the display performance of JP1/AJS3 Console View is the performance of its host. If this host has a low processing speed, the drawing time will be long.
