DSPACE 7.2 SUBMISSION IS EXREMELY SLOW

[Dieume Hirwa]

Hello,

I have just finished the upgrade to dspace 7.2, everything is migrated well and the navigation is pretty much smooth; except when I try to do a submission, the moment I click "deposit" it takes about 2 minutes for the submission to go through. I tried different optimizations with no success. Anyone who faced a similar issue? how did they fix it?

Thanks

Whenever you find that DSpace 7.x is acting up, it's best to use the Troubleshooting guide to look for underlying errors.  

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

Sometimes you'll find that a simple misconfiguration or similar is to blame.  Some of the common installation/configuration issues are listed in our install guide at:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-CommonInstallationIssues

You also may wish to consider upgrading to a later version of 7.x (the latest is 7.5) to see if that solves the problem.

I have the same problem with DSpace 7.6.1. Clicking Deposit takes much time, as well as, Approve and Reject in the Workflow tasks. I measured approx. 25 seconds. Everything else is running as fast as expected. Is this normal or something should be done? To mention that I performed all the stuff mentioned in https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Performance+Tuning+DSpace.

Kind regards

Hi,

We've made a number of performance improvements to the Submission Forms & MyDSpace pages in both 7.6.2 and 8.0.  See the release notes of those releases:

* https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-7.6.2ReleaseNotes

* https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Release+Notes

While I cannot guarantee whether these will fix all the issues you are seeing, there were at least 2-3 performance specific bugs located and fixed in those releases directly related to the submission form & MyDSpace pages.  So, I'd encourage trying one of those to see if it fixes your issues.
