Re: [foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

The concept of 4000 graphics and overlays is a little difficult to =
grasp.

Is there a mechanism within the OS to know howmany times a specific =
display
has been called by the Operator? Perhaps you can optimize the addresses =
on
the 200 most-often-called graphics right away and more slowly optimize =
the
remaining graphics over a few weeks.

Howmany different graphics (and overlays) does one operator call in
a one week period?

Can Op. Action Journal data be manipulated to get you useful =
information?

Objet=A0: [foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

Hi all,

I've got just a few workstations running FoxView (testing, before we =
purchase a
100 pack of licenses and do the whole site) and ran into a few issues on =
the FV
workstations during some upgrade work.

As part of merging two I/A networks under a V8.1 Mesh, I had to =
re-address one
of the two networks (new NSAP addresses).  After the address change for =
all the
stations, graphic callup was very slow (predictably) because the =
graphics files
were optimized for the wrong addresses.  The same issue occurs when =
upgrading or
merging control stations.

For the Display Manager graphics, the fix is easy.  Go to the graphics =
directory
on each AW and WP and run "pdfpack -r *" to clear the optimizations and =
allow
the graphics to call up with only a momentary delay as they re-optimize.

Anyone have any good solution to this problem with FoxView graphics?  =
The
painful solution is to call up each of the 4000 graphics and overlays =
twice
(about 30 seconds on the first callup), on each FoxView workstation.  I =
tried
being a little smarter and ran a script to run fdf_g and g_fdf on each =
graphic.
 This cleared the optimization, but introduced other problems in the =
graphics
which had been migrated from Display Manager (calling an overlay caused =
the main
graphic to revert to the previous display).
