Slow performance for form embeded with WebUtil 1.0.6
The form takes an extra 30-50 seconds to load. This happens while using Webutil 1.0.6 with Forms 9.0.4.1, 10.1.2 and later releases.
Causes:
1. The problem occurs when the NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled for the intranet web clients. WebUtil 1.0.6 has issues when NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled.
2. When client access the application using IP address instead of URL with domain name. NetBIOS does computer name to IP address mapping, name resolution via NETBT.SYS in Windows NT and VNBT.VXD in Windows 95. NetBIOS will be invoked when IP address is used instead or domain name.
Solution:
1. The NetBIOS over TCP/IP should be disabled for the intranet web clients accessing the web forms. IP address to computer name mapping and name resolution could also be achieved via DNS.
To disable the NetBIOS over TCP/IP, please execute the following steps:
a. Go to the properties of "Network Configuration" on the client machine.
b. Click on "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)".
c. Click on "Properties" push button.
d. Click on "Advanced" push button.
e. Click on "WINS" tab.
f. Click the radio button "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
2. Manually map the IP address at Host file in client machine.
a. Go to path in Windows "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"
b. Edit the "hosts" file using text editor
c. Put in the application IP address and mapping name.
d. Save and close the document.
Note: "If you are running your forms on local area network using application server then add DNS entry on Domain Server"
