Hi Ronaldo,

The first time the client is launched after application deployment the intial time is high as we install the client that time.

Post the first time subsequent start of clients should be faster.

In case there are issues with the intial load in the application then you need to do some optimizations in the app code to have a better performance.

please note that if you would be firing all your queries at the start up of application then intial load will be high. Execute the queries only when needed, only fire necessary queries at start up in the component controller.

Also using DB2e will be beneficial for a better performance.

Do not model heavy views with lot of UI elements, try to break down the use case into multiple views. LIke List view & detail view.

Please see to the above points and check against the application.

Regards,

Nipun

PS: Recommended flash ROM is 128 MB & RAM is also 128 MB.

Hello Nipun!

These tips help, the scenary of the answer is when we run an application, but my problem is when i click on NetWeaver Mobile client at handheld, the startup of container is so slow.

Somebody have a solution for it?

Hi,

The first launch of client on click on NetweaverMobileClient.exe would be slow. But after that relaunches will be faster.

Also whats is the hardware profile of the device you are using for testing.?

Hello Nipun,

I launch my ambient more than twice time, i put arguments on MI how user and password, so when they starts, start logged, i have new time for my startup: 2 minutes, it is to slow.

It is my specification:

CPU: Marvell PXA270 Processor 312 MHz

Mem: 192 MB ROM and 64 MB SDRAM

SO: Microsoft® Windows Mobileu2122 5.0 for Pocket PC, Premium Edition

My device's specifications

MC9090

- WM 5.0

- ARM 624 MHZ

- 64/128MB memory

On the 64MB, it is less than a minute to load from executing the NWM shortcut (post first time initialization) and auto launches into a WDP application.

Admittedly, I have removed all unecessary applications from the /Windows/startup folder to optimize resources and tweaked registry settings for cache, not really sure if it has helped or not.

Even with less than a minute, our end-users complained.

One thing would be to change the argument for MI client to displayPopup=true, so at least end-user can see that the MI client has started, and it is loading and it is not a mystery for 2 minutes whether the application is starting or not.

you can make that change in launch.properties under the MI\bin folder

Thanks for reply!

I will try to do it, only for the user can see a window, but the performance at first time is expensive, we have to consider the application starts one time for lifecycle to use, so the expensive time is one time on day, it is not affect directly the rule of bussiness and end-user does not see it more one time per day.

Best regards, Ronaldo.

One more doubt, do you have a document with MI client arguments? stylesheet?

I was given this a long time ago back when I was developing on SP3

Not sure if they are all valid or more have been added.

I thought I posted this awhile ago, but can't find it maybe it got deleted.

These CSS properties are ALL or NONE, you cannot specify by View or by some class id.

I think there are suppose to be improvements in next version of MI client.
