CHEMS 2013LOCAL TABLES

CHEMS LOOKUPS

• CHEMS retrieves or ‘looks up’ values during data entry

• Descriptions and default values

• Values needed are dependent upon what you key in

• Extra seconds on a report is tolerable

• Data entry is very speed sensitive

• Look behind the scenes during data entry…

CHEMS LOOKUPS

• Works pretty well most of the time for most users

• Internet is running well

• Application servers are OK

• Oracle database is responding as expected

CHEMS LOOKUPS

• County Best Case Scenario

• Newer, fast PC with enough memory

• Fiber / fast internet connection

• Oracle database and app servers are normally OK

• Data entry person may be fast but not lightning fast

CHEMS LOOKUPS

• When CHEMS is not working at top speed…

• Database issue? It has happen but not typical

• DOT Internet is fiber, down but never overloaded

• Application servers are never saturated (< 10% load)

• Typically a county shared Internet connection slows

• The result are lockups / kicked-out / Windows errors

LOCAL TABLES

• Local copy of lookup data copied from the server

• Descriptions and default values

• Fastest response possible during data entry

• Data needed is already in memory on your PC

• Eliminates most of the architecture
