Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Managing 4GL Applications

Managing Client Performance

On client systems, OpenEdge consumes system resources to execute Progress 4GL procedures, store variables and record buffers, sort records, and store temporary files. When managing client performance, be aware of key performance factors such as procedure loading and execution, temporary file I/O, and sorting I/O. In addition to these factors, application design and coding can significantly affect client performance. For information about this topic, see OpenEdge Development: Programming Interfaces .

For information about database performance, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration and OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference . For information about Application Server performance, see OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications .

This chapter provides information about the following topics:

Procedure loading and execution
Distributing OpenEdge files on a network
Temporary file I/O
