We are currently upgrading to a 3 tier topology and have found that the datastage Administrator/Designer/Director is much slower to respond in 8.1 than it is in 7.0.
We are currently running the client on Windows XP and 2gb RAM as suggested in the Minimum Specification however I cant find any reference to Client processors (we are currently running with with Pentium 4 2.60ghz). I love the paragraph from IBM that states:
A perfect example of our problem is that when any of the 3 applications are started the CPU usage spikes to 100% for about 15/20 seconds and then drops as the login screen reaches.Client tier software requirements (Windows)
Ensure that your computer meets the client software requirements before you install the client tier
So my question is .. has anyone else experienced this problem and what spec do you clients run at?
