Data between a client and a server

tce

Hi,

I'd like to know the average of the volume of data exchanged between a client and a server when a client launches a report by example.
(TCP/IP, C/side database)


Many thanks

Hi,

I uses a bandwidth meter to count the exchange of data between server and client.

Maybe are more solutions.

I think this depends on so many different parameters that you cannot realy have an average.

Maybe you can make some examples with a cronus database and some standard navision reports.

For the biggest reports, do you think it's less than 10 Ko, less than 50 Ko...or more?
I don't have any idea about the scale...
What's the name of the tool to measure the bandwith between a client and a server?
Is there a difference on the scale between a SQL database and a C/side database?

I haven't the slightest idea how much it is, but I know that it varies from report to report.
Eg. 1: printing an invoice takes some data but Navision doesn't have to scan records for it.
Eg. 2: printing a statistics report on Item Ledger Entries with only a filter on "Posting Date" without an index on "Posting Date" will scan the whole table and will transport a lot of data.

In general I think knowing this information is not really important. If you have a 100Mbit network, I think it is difficult to use for 100% when using Navision. (If you are copying lot's of GB-files at the same moment while using Navision, you will feel it of course)
