Re: [foxboro] DM optimization in 6.5.1

I don't know if cassandra ever created a tool. But there is no standard
script to achieve what you want.

In the early days you could write a script that would eliminate the need to
call up twice. That script required that you enter each display name in that
script. So you would need 250 entries in your script. Once built users would
use that script after every upgrade.

Old script  HH122


Section 2.11 Re-Optimize the Displays 
 
 Displays must be reoptimized for this release.  The first time a display 
 is called up, it becomes unoptimized.  The second time a display is called 
 up, it re-optimizes so that the third time the display is called up, it is 
 optimized. 
 
 The utility /usr/foxbin/pdfpack can be used on the display files so that 
 the first time a display is called up after "pdfpack" has run, the display 
 re-optimizes and the second time the display is called up it is optimized. 
 "pdfpack" requires two arguments, an input and an output file so wildcards 
 (*) cannot easily be used.  Here is a script that can be written and 
 placed in /usr/bin which allows pdfpack to run on a whole directory. 
 
     # /usr/bin/packit 
     # 
     # Script to pack all files in a given directory. 
     # Make executable by typing: 
     # 
     #    chmod +x /usr/bin/packit 
     # Call the program by passing it a directory name such as: 
     # 
     #    packit /usr/menus 
     #    packit /usr/menus/d1 
     # 
     # Subdirectories must be run individually 
     PACKDIR=$1/* 
     for x in $PACKDIR 
          do 
          echo Packing file $x 
          /usr/foxbin/pdfpack $x $x 
          done 
     echo ALL DONE

Subject: [foxboro] DM optimization in 6.5.1


All knowing list,
I have just upgraded two nodes to version 6.5.1. We use display manager
running on WP51Ds. Now, each time a display is called up for the first
time, we have to wait for the display to "time-out/smurf -out" and then
re-callup the display before we can get our normal DM callup speed. One
node has 8 dual headed workstations and about 250 displays not counting the
overlays.

Is there a way to either reduce the time it takes to optimize the display
or a way to automate the optimization process?
