PowerDesigner is slow with many objects

[former_member233011]

Hello,

are there any options to speed up PowerDesigner?

I have a big PDM with more than 600 tables (with references, sequences) and growing.

My Workstation is a Lenovo T420 with 8GB RAM and CPU is Intel Core i5-2450M 2,5GHz.

best regards

Hello Bernd

When is PowerDesigner slow? When you open a model, PD loads all the diagrams into memory - if you have many diagrams, this could take time. If you're having issues with check in/out, there are some previous discussions you could take a look at.

Hi,

There is no "speed-up" option in the product (or it would be set, read-only, and hidden).

But you can de-activate some fancy options, like Links options in Display preferences / General settings.

You can also create several diagrams in your model and display the tables/references separated by concept.

In the same spirit, you can divide the whole model in many smaller models and use shortcuts for references.
