When you perform large transactions in Global Workshare, you need to take the following precautions:
-
Perform large transactions during off-peak hours when system resources are not as heavily loaded.
-
Break large transactions into smaller chunks. For example, use smaller select sets when deleting structure imported from TEKLA.
-
Delete small sets of drawings or other objects rather than deleting a large set all at once.
The following types of transactions can become large:
-
Performing Model Data Reuse tasks.
-
Performing Database Integrity tasks. Use the following workflow:
-
Run the Database > Integrity Command on the Host from the Project Management task.
-
Run the Database > Clean Database Command on the Host from a Smart 3D session.
-
Wait for the transactions to complete.
-
Run the Database > Clean Database Command at each Satellite location. Wait for the transactions to complete at one location before processing the next location.
-
-
Performing database maintenance. In particular, deleting database objects that users have deleted from the model can create a transaction with several million records. This can take days to replicate.
-
Deleting existing TEKLA data before importing.
-
Deleting large numbers of drawings. For example, deleting a snap-in of isometrics.
-
Deleting large numbers of orthographic drawings.
-
Deleting, copying, or moving large numbers of objects while inside the model.
