Quick Fields Metadata Updater Scanning Non-Existing Servers

asked on July 28, 2023

Recently Quick Fields started loading sessions slowly for me. Looking at the Session Updater, I see it "retrieving repositories for server" for an old development server that has been decommissioned. Meaning, that server no longer exists.

I am very confused why it's doing this, as this session does not talk to any repositories on that server at all, and never has. Why is this being scanned? In general, I don't like the idea of it trying to scan all of our servers unnecessarily, and especially as we're taking old systems offline I don't want it to take multiple minutes just to open a session (it's not that slow yet, but more things will be decommissioned soon).

For a little more context, I always set my sessions to refresh metadata every time they open since my main interaction with them is building and modifying them and making changes to templates and fields is fairly common in those situations.

I think your development server was added to registry by Quick Fields the first time it was used. And Session Updater reads from that registry so that's why it's scanned.

To remove it, open Register Editor and delete your delete your development server under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Laserfiche\Client8\Profile\IPDatabase" folder and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Laserfiche\Client8\Profile\IPServer" folder (optional since this folder may not exist)

 

Note: Registry Entry is used for all sessions. Make sure only delete non-exist server so other sessions are not affected.

That corrected the issue, thank you.

I have to say, I don't really understand why updating the metadata for a given session would need to scan all those servers and repositories that have nothing to do with the session.
