Re: Oracle Forms 6i & Win2000 & Citrix

[Quoted] I saw a similar problem like this with terminal emulators on WTS. If the emulator was a 16 bit program it would eat up all the CPU on the machine. Once the customer upgraded to a 32 bit emulator or stopped using terminal emulators then everything ran very fast. (In our case the terminal emulators were causing our program to run slow even though we don't use terminal emulation. The terminal emulators were for another application from another company. Once we did a test we here we banned the terminal emulators for a day things worked fine.) You should be able to tell by looking in the task manager and clicking on the performance tab. Or click on the middle tab,(processes) and sort by CPU. The 16 bit programs should float to the top (use the most CPU). It might be VDM that floats to the top, which is the same thing; it is the virtual machine that 16 bit programs [Quoted] run in. WTS handles interrupts for 16 bit programs terribly and the only solution is to get rid of them on the WTS.

If it is Oracle forms that is the 16 bit app (and I don't know it if is or not) then upgrade to a later version; I am sure the latest version is a full [Quoted] 32 bit app.
