WAN Performance Testing

When testing Dynamics Ax application performance over low-bandwidth network (ISDN), the client/server trace can be enabled to give an impression of the amount of activity taking place betweenclient and server for a given form or function. Especially in this respect, the number of calls from client to server or visa versa is decisive for the performance, as each call will cost on average 100 ms.Ideally the Wan performance should be tested using an ISDN connection from the test client to the server, but in lack of a better solution, the Axapta client can be configured to simulate low bandwidth and high latency. The command line is “-bwsim=8000:50:2“ which will simulate a bandwidth 8000 bits per second, a latency of 50 ms and will not delay calls that load application elements.
