Re: oracle and citrix over vsat

Hi Babu,
I do not have experience with vsat, but it seems that one solution would be to use the Forms Server instead of client/server or Citrix. Place the Forms Server in South Africa close to the database or even on the same machine. Then you would be running just a browser in Tanzania to access the Forms Server. The amount of data transmitted is greatly reduced using this approach. For one of my clients, we tested this between the US and Hong Kong and found significant performance improvement using Forms Server versus client/server.

<< hi   

 i need this info for a client of ours in Tanzania. The users in Tanzania are  using a forms based application and connecting to a database in South  Africa. The link was over vsat and it was extremely slow. So they have  implemented a citrix based solution.   

 Even with this, the response is pretty slow expecially after 4/5 users log  on.. Have any of you implemented such stuff over vsat links and what is the  solution for this...   

 All Oracle related tuning like reducing the amount of data transmitted, etc  have been looked into.
