Slowness in CMOD 9.5.0.7 Loading Time for PDF files

[gab612antonio]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone of you already upgraded to the latest version 9.5.0.7???

I just noticed that there was a slowness in processing and loading of PDF files. Other files are OK (Line text, Generic Indexed, AFP)

On our previous version of 9.0.0.6, a 28MB PDF file will be loaded after 22 secs.

Now on 9.5.0.7, the same 28MB file will be loaded after 64 secs.

We have already set the ulimit to UNLIMITED for stack, memory and data under root ID since the owner if the instance is root.

We have restarted the arssockd after the ulimit settings, but we didnt restart the DB2 nor reboot the server.

Need some expert advises from anyone, especially the "GURUs" 

Server Info:
CMOD 9.5.0.7
CMOD PDF Indexer 9.5
DB2 10.05
AIX 7.1 (64-bit)

TIA!

Are you using PPD's?

I'll bet you're being bitten by:

APAR PI74516:                                                         
PDF INDEXING STILL SLOWER THAN 8.5 EVEN AFTER APPLYING FIX PI64639 IN 9.5.0.7                                                               

The fix is scheduled to be released in 9.5.0.8. 

No, I don't have a date.

Hi jsquizz, we are not using PPD for PDF Indexing. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi Ed_Arnold, thanks for the update, will this issue affect all fixpacks under 9.5? If yes, then no point in downgrading to lower Fixpacks.


Thanks All.

Hmmm -

PI64639: 9.5 PDF INDEXER PERFORMANCE DEGRADES WHEN PDF DOCUMENT IS VERY LARGE

Okay, what is "very large"?  Looks like this was found when the input file is 1 gig.

The problem was originally reported at 9.5.0.2.

I can't say whether you'll see an improvement by down-leveling or not.

Can you hold out for a while longer - until 9.5.0.8 becomes available?
