Scaling problems

adam_stortz — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:43:31 GMT

I have an instance of Alfresco 1.4 community edition.When I get up to ~400 documents in a single space (not in subspaces) I see s significant decrease in performance. In other words, if my content structure is broad and not deep, i see a huge slow down in performance.Has anyone else run into this?

I have an instance of Alfresco 1.4 community edition.

Has anyone else run into this?

If so, has this been fixed in a newer version?

Is there a reason not to have sub folders? One question I would ask is, as a folder excedes 100 docs … how useful to a human is it? Remember … robots can ignore structure but humans need it.

As it turns out, this portion of my alfresco implementation is handled by robots and is never directly seen by users.

In the end, there is no reason to have subfolders, and no good way of breaking the content up into subfolders.

Yes there was a known problem with 1.4community scaling in exactly this way. It is fixed in 1.4Enterprise and also 2.0+

Thanks,

Kevin
