How can I improve network performance when selecting records from an RMS file?

If you're having network performance problems with the RMS ODBC driver and you're using UCX or HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, the following commands may improve performance. Before you start, make sure that no users are using the RMS ODBC driver.

• On VMS, enter:

  UCX DISAB SERV EASYSOFT
  UCX SET SERV EASYSOFT/PROT=TCP=NODELAY
  UCX ENAB SERV EASYSOFT

  Note For HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, replace UCX with TCPIP

Turning on NODELAY can speed up the transfer of records when the size of the record is just larger than the size of a packet.
