Webplayer takes way too long to 'process' anything that involves executing anything

[Jolene Robertson]

Any ideas on how to make the webplayer not suck An onclick event in the client is more or less instantaneous, but when it comes to the webplayer, instantaneous becomes 3, 5, 10+ seconds. Tack on another 3, 5, 10+ if there's network latency. If DEBUG logging is enabled, could that potentially impact the time it takes toexecute basic scripts, or render text areas Here's some info I grabbed from the Monitoring and Diagnostics screen:

Hello Jolene,

There could be multiple reasons for this. However, it is surely related to something on the Node Manager server. The time taken to access reports, etc on Web Player is related to resources on the Node Manager server. You can check the available memory and CPU utilization on the node manager server.

 

One quick test would be to install Spotfire Analyst on the node manager server and check if the one click stuffs take time to load in the analyst there. If that is the case then something specific to the Node Manager server is responsible for this.

 

Also, try restarting the node manager service once and see if there is any change in the performance. Node Managers must be restarted at regular intervals depending on how heavily the Node Manager services are used. This will clean up the old cache stuffs that are not needed anynore and will boost the performance in many cases.
