Loading Apps Applet

Question

Hi All,
I have a question, i.e, as soon as we logon into apps from the front end, we see the products list for apps and the list of menus and responsibilities. on which after choosing any one the apps applet is loaded. During this loading of the applet and the jar files, sometimes time is enormously consumed due to network traffic at peak times, hence leading to deterioration of performance.
I wanted to know whether we can keep these files loaded in the user's local machine along with the J-initiator. So that the barest minimum time is required to run apps applet. As in oracle apps, the applet plays a pivotal role in compiling the forms 6 to be displayed as a web based applet. As after the apps is loaded, we only require a constant connection with the database, and so in the near future if the files get updated they can be automatically downloaded to the user's local machine.
Thnx ...

Answer 1

Also, check you have the JAR cache size configured on your local JInitiator client (Under Control Panel -> JInitiator 1.3.1.x). The JInitiator control panel will indicate the local JAR cache location (Usually under c:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Oracle)
By default, JInitiator is configured with a 50Mb local cache, which should be enough for the 11i Jar files.
Also, note that the cache is individual to the windows user logged on - e.g. different logins will have separate disk cache areas.
Hope it helps,
