| Boosters |  |
| To increase the speed of sessions and processes that are slow because of large amounts of data that must be handled, use boosters. Two booster types exist: Table boosters The table boosters defined in the Table Boosters (tcmcs0598m000) session speed up access to specific database tables by loading the table, or a specified part of it, into memory. Performance boosters The performance boosters defined in the Performance Boosters (tcmcs0597m000) session reduce the time needed for long processes, such as in the Print Warehouse - Items Inventory (whwmd2410m000) session or the Print Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1400m000) session. Performance booster types Two performance booster types exist: Prevent Progress Indicator ERP LN does not give any visual feedback about how long the process will take, and how much has been done at any given moment. Number of Servers More than one copy of the user-interface program (bshell) runs simultaneously for the user, which reserves more processing power for the session. However, a large number of bshells can reduce performance, because starting and running a bshell consumes system resources. Note As a parameter, the Number of Servers is limited by the actual number of CPUs. Sessions and tables Performance boosters and table boosters are implemented for specific sessions and tables. By default, boosters are not active. If you use a session, or access a table, ERP LN builds a list of sessions or tables for which you can activate the boosters in the Performance Boosters (tcmcs0597m000) session and the Table Boosters (tcmcs0598m000) session. Note You can only activate boosters for sessions or tables that are run or accessed at least once. For more information, refer to Infor ERP LN 6.1 - Performance Tracing and Tuning Guide (U9357 US).
