access database in citrix server

J

Janardanan

Hi - I have a database which I have to share with 3 different location users
( Approximately 5-6 users) through Citirx Server.

Though It is working fine with Host Computer location, it is taking too much
time to load in remote location (say 30 minutes) - hence unable to work on
this database through citirx.

I have tried after spliting database with front end but no remarkable
improvement in speed.

Anybody please guide me on this if any special settings to be done in Citrix
- or any other third party software is available to share it with citirix
(There are some front end programms available - but not shared through citrix)

Thanks for your help.

You must be doing something very wrong.

When using Terminal Server / Citrix you are running the app *on the server*.
There should be absolutely no difference in how long things take regardless of
who is connecting because the app doesn't care who is connecting. All that is
going back and forth is screen update and keyboard/mouse data.

Are you sure you are not trying to open a remote MDB that just happens to be
installed on a Citrix server and are not using Citrix at all to run the app?

Not only do you split the database, make sure that each users has his/her
own folder on the Citrix server, and that that floder has its own copy of
the front-end.. The back-end does not need to reside on the Citrix server.
As a matter of fact, it may run a bit faster if the back end is on another
file server because the Terminal Services takes that majority of the CPU
time to maintain Citrix and benefits from a file server that's on another
machine.
