Hello,
my team is using Power designer.
We are working on local then would chek in/out the
repository.
but the performances are so bad (more than 30 minutes) than
we can't check the repository.
The network bandwith is good.
Is there any tips to increase the performance ?

What version of PowerDesigner are you using and what DBMS is hosting the
Repository? If on v12 or greater, I would investigate the use of the
Repository Proxy as it was designed to increase performance during
consolidation/extraction. Keep in mind that though the Repository database
is small in comparison to most other corporate databases, that due to the
high I/O from the PowerDesigner client to the Repository, the machine
hosting the DBMS supporting the Repository needs to be of a server class.

If the proxy isn't an option (and at least on 12.1 the proxy only
speeds up extracts anyway - 12.5 may have fixed that - not sure), you
can setup a machine with the PowerDesigner client on it in the same
location as the server and use remote desktop to connect and
consolidate from there. That's the approach we've taken. If you keep
your model files on a server, it's pretty straightforward to logon to
the remote box, open the file and do the consolidation. We're running
12.1 with the proxy server but continue to keep the remote desktop
option available because 1) the proxy doesn't do anything for
consolidations on our version and 2) the proxy occasionally goes down
and this gives us another option while we're waiting for someone to
restart.

PD 12.5 the proxy speeds things up both ways. Are you using the
extract/consolidate dialog, or the fire and forget method? What size models
are you working with and how interconnected to other models is the model?

We moved to 12.5 proxy and as Matt said, it definitely
speeds things both ways. It just great, and it has
completely ended the hassle of working through remote
desktop when working from home or over VPN, etc.
