In our DMS, we have hundreds of Visio overviews for Views and retrieving them with WebService Method GetVisioForView() periodically to present in another system. This process is not very efficient, it takes a lot of time and resources.
Wouldn’t it be possible for DataMiner to generate the images from visio files automatically (either periodically, or upon every change) and drop them somewhere, where the other system can pick them up, instead of using the webservice to generate them? Or keep them ready and pre-rendered locally and a webservice request would just get the pre-rendered image instantly?
Thank you.
Hi Martin,
These images are highly dynamic as they depend on parameter values, user permissions, etc. Creating the images for all possible cases on a fixed interval would use a lot of resources on systems that have a lot of these images.
We did however recently introduce a change that allows you to more efficiently distribute load created by generating the images over multiple servers in a cluster. Please check the 10.5.2 release notes for more information: https://docs.dataminer.services/release-notes/General/General_Feature_Release_10.5/General_Feature_Release_10.5.2.html#web-visual-overviews-load-balancing-id-41434-id-41728
Hi Martin, this is currently planned for the 10.5.0 CU1 Main release, scheduled for the end of March. Note that this is currently in review, so the timing may still change.
Hi Michiel,
Thanks for prompt answer. Is it possible to indicate in which Main Release version this Load Balancing feature will be available? Thank you.
