Hi Sir,

   I had just upgraded my powerbuilder from build 3289 to 3391. And i also noticed, my powerserver/cloudapp deploy to customer has better perfomance. The speed of respond calling each tabpage, datawindow improved a lot. I check the 3391 bug list, i dnt see any fixes on performance issue though. Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you.

Too bad that, I have no way to fallback to builder 3289 and try it and see the different between 3391 and 3289.

Hi Sim,

I'm not sure whether you have improved the deployment environment or network.

Except for the environmental factor, two possible reasons in 2022 R3 build 3391 may improve PowerServer performance:

1) Since 2022 R3 build 3391, the PowerBuilder/InfoMaker/PowerServer features that used to work with .NET 6.0 have been upgraded to work with .NET 8.0.

Refer to: Improvements - - Release Bulletin for PowerBuilder (appeon.com)

If your PowerServer project has upgraded to .NET 8. It should have better performance than .NET 6 in most cases.

2) There is another possible reason: Appeon used to upgrade the PowerServer database NET data provider to the latest stable one in each MR. (E.g.: it may improve the database performance if SQL Server has fixed something in that build.)

Regards, Logan

Thanks for the information.

Fyi,

1. deployment environment or network -> stayed the same, no changed.

2. I didnt upgrade my PS to .net 8. It is still stay at .net 6. Should i upgrade to .net8? I read , it said, is not required, correct?

Since Microsoft will be discontinuing updates for .NET 6 and theoretically performance of .NET 8 should be faster so it is recommended to use .NET 8. But you are correct that upgrading to .NET 8 is not required... you can keep using .NET 6 if you prefer.
