Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Long time for opening a project.

Hello

I’ve got a lot of projects in my database. If I want to open just one project, it takes a lot of time (20 min). With an emty database I did not have this problem. So it seems that the time for opening a project depends on the size of the TOTAL database.
On the other hand, if I import a xer-file, this file is imported and than opened, it only takes a few minutes. So importing and opening is faster than just opening!?
A collegue of mine has the same database an the same problems.

Does anybody have the same experience, or even have a solution?

Guys,

We had this problem at my last company and realised that if you have large plans are not purging deletes the database speed will slow down quite a bit.

You will need admin rights to purge deletes but can set it up to do this each time you logout.

Hope this helps.

Hi Hannes and Arnold,
I too have the same problem. I recently read a very useful thread in here where you can add a new database. you can use of to store old projects and the other to store current projects.

Hi Hannes,

I also have experience this sort of problem. All the same as what you have.

My only solution I’ve found is to export all the projects which I don’t need as of the moment and save them in one Folder and import again the moment I need it. As well as the Sample Project.
