Visio Published Web Page

[Ginger]

Hi

I have created Six pages of our Data Centre cabinets and all CI's contained
within (Front and rear) each shape is Linked to an Access Database, I have
then Published this drawing to a web page. The problem is the page hangs and
is slow to load and Search for configuratio items, I think the problem exists
with the data.xml file how can i speed up the loading of this file

The performance of 'web' pages is linear through each of the components and
complex. I'd start by putting a tool such as nai sniffer on it and getting
some measurements on the link between the user displaying the web page (for
throughput and latency) as well as time in server. The assumption here of
course is that you are not cascading the calls from a data base that is not
co-located with the web server. Do you know how much data is being
transferred (web server to client)? What's the round trip time for a simple
query (client to database)? How many frames are being sent (goes to network
latency)?

Thank you for the reply

There are no calls to the Database from the Web page here is how it is setup
- I use the visio application to design the rack Layouts each shape has a
Link to the
MS Access Database
- I then Publish the drawing to the Web using Visios built in Save As Web Page
- Visio creates lots of files that make up that page
- If I run the web page Locally on my machine the same amount of time is
taken to
load the page.
- Visio takes all the Shape information and creates a file named data.xml,
Opening
this file is slow about the same time as opening the entire web page, so i
presume the xml file was the cause of the page being so slow, The file is
1.5Mb
in size

Does "opening the xml file" include the time to create it? If the delay is
in file creation time, I'd start approaching the problem by investigating
the the server performance (the usual how much memory, speed of processor
(x64, 32bit), hard drives (rotation speed, access time,
serial/parallel/scsi), etc).

From the application standpoint I'd look at how much I really need to send
(several small forms vs a very complete big picture). Have you used any
profiling tools to measure where the delays are?

Hi

Opening the xml file Only in Internet Explorer 7 on a HP Laptop with a
1.2Ghz Pentium Processor with 1.5Gb memory on a 40Gb hard Disk drive takes
approx. One and a half minutes, this performance is experienced locally on
the Web server or browsed over the network.

The problem exists in Processor 100% utilisation occurs when execution of
that single xml file.

The only delay is within the xml file, to load all other content is
instantaneous I have checked this by turning of Active X controls
