Wizard mode and Performance

bwallis42
I have a question from a customer about resource usage and performance for a
very large form (400 controls or something like that).

They currently have this form running in version 3.9 and it is slow. They
will be upgrading soon to version 2018.2 (ish).

The form seems like it could benefit from being updated a bit to work with
wizard mode.

The question is, will this help with performance and resource (CPU/Ram)
usage. In wizard mode, does Orbeon only render the current page when
required or are all the pages rendered at the start and then just presented
to the user as they step through the form?

Any description of how this works would be appreciated.

thanks,
brian...

Hi Brian,

Yes, we've made some performance improvements for 2018.1, and those changes
typically make a big difference with large forms using the wizard. See
"Performance enhancements for large forms" on the page linked below. But of
course, the best would be to try those forms on 2018.2, see how what the
improvement is in practice with those forms, and if the improvement isn't
inline with what you had hoped then address the issue. You'll let me know
what your findings are.

Hi Brian, just curious: did you already get a chance to try the large forms
you were referring to with 2018.2? If so, did that have a positive impact on
performance?

Hi Alex,
  No and I'm unlikely to in the near term.

The form in question is on an existing customer production system that is
running Orbeon 3.9. We will get to it when we upgrade them but that will not
be for a while yet. We have to quite a bit of work on most of our customer's
existing templates to get them working on the latest orbeon version,
particularly the templates that have been modified by hand. So upgrades take
a bit of time to complete.

I'll make a point of looking at the performance when that is done.

thanks
brian...

Got it Brian; thanks for the update, and like you said you'll just let us
