Hello,
I'm looking for some assistance/advice. I'm fairly new to Acumatica development but I've been doing development work against the Sage accounting system for a number of years. I've followed the Acumatica development training courses and have delivered a few development solutions to our customers so far. Though they were fairly simple solutions they are seen as a big step forward for our company and we want to build on the experience and work on larger projects.
However, I'm finding that development with Acumatica is proving to be very, very time consuming because when I recompile a dll in visual studio there is a long delay before the pages in Acumatica refresh. The compiling action is visual studio is very fast but the Acumatica refresh is extremely slow. I'm often waiting over 3 minutes for the pages to refresh. If I need to update an aspx page then the solution becomes worse, by the time I've applied the changes via the customization page and waited for the Acumatica pages to refresh I can be waiting around 6 minutes.
These delays are killing my productivity and making Acumatica development a bit of a misery. At my current skill level I'm making changes very often to try different ideas out, if I can only test my changes after a 5-6 minute wait before making further changes then I'm only testing between 6-12 changes per hour, with figures like this you can understand why I'm finding development work with Acumatica so time consuming and frustrating. I've searched the web many times and found articles about making changes to the web.config file, I've tried these tips but the improvements were marginal. I've searched for articles about the speed of development but not found any articles discussing the topic, I've also watched the 'Coffee and Code' videos on Youtube - I cannot find any discussion about these slow refreshing issues which makes me think that perhaps others are not experiencing the issues I am.
Do anyone have any advice on how to speed up development in Acumatica? Is there any way to speed up the refreshing of the Acumatica system after a custom dll is compiled? Can anyone say what sort of delay I should be expecting after compiling a custom dll? I'm hopeful that others are getting much faster response times and I can make changes to my system to speed things up.
Thanks
Steve
