Re: [foxboro] IEE - CP Initialize/download time way too long

We will see what solution Foxboro comes up with as I have submitted a CAR:

CAR 1010809 submitted 6/25/08


We are using IEE v1.0  for our current upgrade project.

        One of the biggest problems I am seeing is the
time required to Initialize and loadall to a CP. IEE has
a 3-step process now that requires picking/clicking as
each of the 3 steps. The new terms are 1)''Add
Cascade'', 2)''Prepare All'' & 3)''Deploy''. This process is
taking me over 4 hours to complete these 3 steps.

         I don't find my CP's overly loaded. CP's are
between 6-10 compounds & each compound has less
than 80 blocks. I don't even have any PLB blocks or
sequence blocks.

        There is a scripting API called ''Direct Access''
(similar to ICC-Driver-Task) that has documentation
for ''Deploying'' however this API is very buggy and
doesn't work at for deploying (entire CP's or even an
individual compound). So I have no choice but to baby
sit the windoze GUI waiting for the next task to
complete so I can pick & click it on to the next task.

I have 8-CP's that are under development and about
once or twice a month I get a new Galaxy server image
that forces me to initialize & load 8-CP's.

How do I get CP's to load faster?

FYI:
If you want to see this in in action (if you have 4 hours)
My job is currently on the Foxboro Staging flooring in
the Cocasett building.
