I-descriptors and GLOBUS performance

Hi all!



Does anybody has knows of how much I-descriptors impact on the T24 performace?

Users requires that they could perform search on ACCOUNT file based on the search criteria from the CUSTOMER file. So, they run enquiry, input customer-related information and receieve list of accounts.

Two possible sollutions (from my point) are:

1. Create no-file enquiry (NFE) that will form the result set - it may take some time, because NFE is not simple thing to write and debug

2. Create I-descriptor in the ACCOUNT that will reference on the required attribute and write simple enquiry on the ACCOUNT

The 2nd is more preferrable, of course, but I'm afraid of the significant degradation of performannce on the big amount of account-related operations.



Thank in advance.

I-Descriptors are really a night mare on large files like STMT.ENTRY, CATEG.ENTRY, SECURITY.MASTER etc... We had a bad experience.



Writing a no-file enquiry is the best option.
