Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-04-24 10:45:54 CEST
Currently, it took between 5 and 9 seconds to open the App Center. I think that is too long.
Comment 1 Nico Gulden univentionstaff 2015-05-18 10:53:15 CEST
I also experienced that long loading time during demonstration. I used demo.univention.com.

Maybe we can also adapt the PackageManager __init__ to get a better performance

WIP patch: ucr.load and getMachineConnection

in app_center.py to_dict():

ucr.load() and
ldap_object = self.get_ldap_object() --> admin_uldap.getMachineConnection()

Both methods are slowing down the performance, so we added two helper functions and global variables to check if we need to
a) reload ucr
b) establish a new ldap connection

pls note wip for this patch
Comment 4 Alexander Kläser univentionstaff 2015-06-05 21:47:34 CEST
@Alex: Cool :) ! (BTW, diff -Nu yields a more common diff format.)

@Florian: The LDAP timeout should be caught in uldap directly, is that correct?

No, the methods will raise univention.admin.uexceptions.{ldapTimeout,ldapError} when a timeout occurs.
I think we have to implement the same workarounds as in UDM, too.

We improved the performance by using decorators for loading ucr (inside to_dict) and requesting a ldap connection/position.

As discussed with Florian later on we can remove the decorators.py file and use a more generic solution.

We also register a umcCommand (appcenter/ping) on the umc startup for another 700milliseconds.

Comment 9 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-07-09 11:13:48 CEST
Please add a preinst like management/univention-directory-manager-modules/debian/python-univention-directory-manager.preinst to prevent problems during upgrade.

Please fix Bug #38860.
Comment 10 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-07-10 10:54:11 CEST
Please also alter util.py.

I had my fingers in the code, so I better don't to the QA?!

Please adjust the following thing in util.py:
IOError is not raised by the decorators/functions instead lo is None in that case.

Also there is univention.uldap not univention.admin.uldap used. You have to add 'lo = lo.lo'.

The preinst is for the wrong package. It has to be for univention-management-console-module-appcenter not univention-management-console-module-apps.

As requested I added a preinst file for module-appcenter and moved the code from 
r62036

Also added 
dpkg --compare-versions "$2" 4.1.20-41
r62533

And removed two typos

Comment 20 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-07-30 15:24:03 CEST
OK: 3.8 seconds to open the appcenter now. It could be further improved (to 2 seconds) if we make a appcenter/query after UMC login.
YAML: OK
OK: Merge to UCS 4.1 (the preinst is not required in 4.1)
