We have Designer 6i installed on WIN98 client and repository on NT Server. We have successfully used the Capture Design several times in the past capturing Oracle databases residing on both Sun and NT operating systems. Today we tried to reverse engineer an Oracle data base residing on an AIX box. This is a large schema with approx 250 tables, but there are no constraints. It listed all the tables and [Quoted] indices and I fired it up. The progress bar went about halfway across and it just died; after 12 hours I terminated it via ctl-alt-del. Now if I restart the job, it won't even list the tables, it just freezes with the hour glass. Could all of this be do to the large number of tables? My client is a P-III, 766mz, 128 RAM; is this enough? It seems to be very resource intensive. The client is at one site, the AIX and NT repository at another, networked via T-1. Is this task bandwidth intensive, could that be the problem? Why won't the job restart, is there some server process at the other end that would still be running? The other systems in the repository appear to be ok. Thanks for any advice. Received on Thu May 24 2001 - 01:08:42 CEST
