Not really amused here at the moment. The PTF's still need to be installed but we have to wait till after the weekend (some big changes coming up). Till that time I will not be able to test anything because of trouble with saving the select criteria. As soon as I try to create a report (Report Assistant) and then either run or save it, the select criteria is being deleted and I end up with a huge query. It seems nobody else is having this problem since I cannot find anything like my problem on the internet. Anyway, it's nice to see I'm not the only one having trouble on the QU2. Hi Lukas,

I too have performance issues. I too am just as disappointed as you. I have actually stopped looking at it and requested a refund for the optional features I ordered. My intent is to look elsewhere for a Q/400 replacement. Web Query is just to bizarre for me. Not to mention the support issues in attempting to train users . . . Hi Lukas,

I've tested in a few other machines (P4 3Ghz, 1GB memory, C2D 2.66 Ghz, 2GB memory, with both Firefox and IE7). While the clients CPU load usually spikes when loading the graphical interfaces (Report Assistang, Graphic Assistant, etc.), it is not that high while actually working with the application. The most time is spent by the browser waiting for the actual data from the server - you can see the used CPU time by the application server etc. using WRKACTJOB, and WRKSYSACT shows the application server to be eating CPU time like candy. In my opinion, most performance problems originate at the server end, and the clients are most definitely fast enough to deal with any modern web interface. Hi Ron,

Regarding the slow performance when working with the web interface, have you isolated whether the performance problem is in the browser or on the server? What specification is the PC that you are running your browser on? I have found that similar products require a fast CPU to process all the scripting, demonstrated by 100% CPU usage for a long while on the PC. Hi Lukas,
