Modeler runs slow over the network
If you are running Modeler over a slow network, you can improve its performance by hiding the following parts of the Modeler user interface when not in use:
• The Property Pages
• Status Bar
• Toolbars
Direct access of Models on another site can result in poor performance when there is a WAN or firewall between the Modeler client and server. Using Microsoft Terminal Server or Citrix MetaFrame can resolve this problem because the Modeler server and client software reside on the same site. For more information, see .
