Import Script performance from Windows is very slow

Hi

My scenario is, when I used to RUN a Import (Folder with Import only the reference) script from a iMac mini to remote Windows File server, it used to take 4-8 hours. But when started using the same script from Same server(Windows), it started to take more than 24 hours. Only things I have changed:

  • Import from Windows FS ( Files of type Windows from OS X)
  • Modified the Folder location to local server.

Any suggestions or known issues..

 

Pls note: Previously we used Filemaker 10-11 now using 13-14 in both client server. The old Mac was OS X (10.5.8) with FM Advanced 10. And the old remote server was a Physical windows 2008 server with FM 10 server running as well as Fileserver to hold the files which where been imported as reference.

What OS is the new server and what specs?

Are you saying that you are running FMS on the same file server that you used to use?

Can you describe in a bit more detail how you've set up the import, what paths you are using?  I'm assuming this is a server-side script?

Old one was Physical Windows 2008 Enterprise, 6GB RAM, IBM System x3650. And the Nightly script used to Run from a Mac Mini pc by mounting two share/volume of this servers on the Mac. The script has the path to import from the mounted volumes, scans specific folder and updates all the file referenced in the database record based on the file name pattern.

I also find that imports performed on FMServer (by schedule or PSoS - Perform Script on Server) are much faster than 'local' imports on clients viewing hosted files.
