Fetching/storing to network in Eviews 10

Postby hwong » Wed Sep 13, 2017 2:42 am

I have programs that fetch/store to Eviews databases located on a local network. I have recently upgraded to Eviews 10 from Eviews 8 and have found that the new version is significantly slower in these tasks. My colleague has recently got Eviews 9.5 and he has the same problem. It does not seem to be an issue when fetching or storing to databases on my computer's hard drive. Is this an issue anyone has raised before? Could it be caused by a setting I'm not aware of? Thanks.

If you select Options->Data Registry, you will find a checkbox labeled 'Automatically search databases when a series...'. Try unchecking that box, if it isn't already unchecked and letting us know if this sped up fetches and stores.

Thanks for your reply. However it is already unchecked.

We have not noticed a slow down. It may be a network issue.

Is your EViews 8 copy and 10 on the same machine? What are the time differences between the 2 versions?

It takes twice as long to run a program that is only a series of fetch commands.

The Eviews 10 I'm using is on a new Windows 10 laptop. My copy of Eviews 8 was on a different laptop running Windows 7. My colleague who has the same problem also changed to the same Windows 10 laptop I got. Other colleagues who are still running Eviews 8 don't have the problem, but none are on the new laptops.

I don't have problems with other applications saving or opening files on the network. So I think it means it could either be an issue with Eviews 10; or something to do with the way Eviews 10 works with Windows 10 to connect to the network. I could try installing Eviews 10 on my old laptop to see if there is the same problem - other than that I don't know what else to try.

We will look into running EViews 10 on Windows 10, but if you could also install EViews 8 on your Windows 10 machine that would be helpful as well.

Eviews 10 runs at the same speed as Eviews 8 on my old laptop (running Windows 7). So this suggests it is something to do with my new laptop. My colleague who has got the same new laptop also has the same problem with Eviews 10, so it suggests it is not unique to my machine. It could be related to Windows 10? Have you tried running Eviews 10 on Windows 10? Thanks.

We haven't narrowed down the issue and are still looking into the issue.

Thanks for the update. Does that mean you have the same issue when running Eviews 10 on Windows 10?

Can you send your program to support@eviews.com?

Roughly how many observations are in the series?

We were seeing some slowness with storing but not fetching. And that slowness was not due to Windows 10.
