There have been several reports of laptops being slow to enter data over the week leading up to 2014-Mar-26. This is not about sending, we know that this is slower now that we send to the new repository, this question relates to data entry and other work (e.g. email, wiki).

Solution

This was probably caused by a retained connection to centralized_data from send testing. Added code in CCMDB.mdb_Change_Log_2014#2014-Jul-07 that will close all connections to centralized on opening ccmdb.accdb. Waiting to hear if this makes a difference Ttenbergen 15:13, 2014 July 7 (CDT)

Affected users

My PC has been much slower recently:

  • I have random episodes of slowness. No rhyme or reason to when they occur. I've tried just re-booting the laptop when this occurs, but that generally doesn't help much. Did have some pretty annoying slowness on Monday. The slowness is usually on the registration page when I try to tab from one field to the next, and also on the admit diagnoses and task entries, again, when I'm trying to tab from one field to the next.DPageNewton 13:26, 2014 March 26 (CDT)
  • my lap top is freezes and part of my screen is disappearing Judy
    • as per earlier email: "My computer in the CCMDB program is freezing at times. When I try to select where the pt was admitted from, part of my screen goes blank & then comes back but it takes awhile. It needs to be fixed."
  • S4 and N5/S5 laptops are really slow today entering data /when using checkmarks/ the screen will freezed in between changes and then resume normal it is taking a while to enter new information and all of the above. Shirley Kiesman
    • as per earlier email: "I have notice in the last week my laptop is slow. For example when I am trying to put in diagnoses/ or comorbid the computer seems to take its time it almost seems like it goes over all the diagnoses before it will enter the one I pick. Is there something I can do to make it faster Do I have a bug in my computer It takes forever to do a profile Thanks Shirley Kiesman"
  • My laptop was very slow on Monday with same problems mentioned above-seems better today Mlaporte 14:03, 2014 March 26 (CDT)
  • I find right after a new update, my laptop is slow in 2 areas: when tabbing over in registry, entering chart number, etc. Also when using the drop down list for admit from or discharge to. Sometimes there is short periods where it freezes. This is not really new for me. Today it did seem to freeze a bit more than usual though. It is not really consistent and seems better as I continue to use it during the day. --LKolesar 15:00, 2014 March 26 (CD
  • N5/S5 laptop at VGH: email is also slow; WIKKI slow to load and delays noted with typed text appearing on screen. Pamela Piche 07:39, 2014 March 27 (CDT)
  • In the am-I waited 11-12 sec for the admit from ER drop down to enter-it freezes and screen is distorted-same for tasks-each entry for yes or no took5-10secs to enter-in afternoon after sending and backup-the problem was no longer in effect--- Louise Lemoine-- 08:23, 2014 March 27 (CDT)Lou

not affected

My PC seems to be as fast as usual except maybe for sending:

  • No unusual activity noted.Sending is certainly slower. --Lpruden2 10:44, 2014 March 27 (CDT)
  • "After sending at 1200-no issues repeated on ward..? Lou" as per email from Lou
  • The computer for VM is working at the same speed as usual}} Jthiessen 12:06, 2014 March 27 (CDT)
