Check in and check out time using DFT


 Product(s):ProjectWise V8i
 Version(s):08.11.05.37
 Area: File Transfer Svr-Caching Svr
 Original Author:Bentley Technical Support Group

Problem Description

When running the Delta File Transfer Benchmark tool, the times for check in are faster when using DFT, but check out is faster when not using DFT

Solution

DFT is most useful when bandwith and LAN latency is an issue, sometimes its faster to transmit the entire file rather than computing the differences. 

The check in times are generally faster because it always has a copy on both sides (client and server) to compare and will only transmit the changes. 

A checkout usually has to transmit the entire file depending on if the client already has a copy of the file.
