We are having trouble with our synching process because some of the tables in
crm are being synched in their entirety.

For example the CustomerAddressBase table is copied completely to every
salesman's machine. Each salesman has around 1000 accounts and 2000
contacts. But when we synch the customerAddressBase table contains every
record regardless of which records the addresses are linked to.

Is this supposed to be this way. This is causing us some major timeout
issues having to run 450000 transactions instaed of 25k for each laptop.

Please Help!

Thanks,

Josh

Have you installed the rollup hotfix for SFO? they have made some significant
improvements on the synch process. it's not perfect, but it is better.

the only way of narrowing down the number of customers and contacts you
synchronise, is to use the 'only synch. data from own business unit'. If the
user do not use this check-box, all data the user has access to will be
synchronised.
Using the 'do not synch. documents', unfortunately does not prevent
documents from the ActivityMimeBase to be synchronised. this may cause heavy
synchronisations, if you have a lot of attachments on your Activities. The
only documetn table not synchronised, if you select the 'do not synch'
documents' is the AnnotationBase table.

I've some expiriences with a company running Microsoft CRM 1.2 for about 1½
year know. It has been our expirience, that the most synchronisation
performace problems has been related to attached documents.
For know the only way to handle the performance load related to attached
docs. when synchronising, is to build a more detailed Business Unit mesh
with less users and customers in each mesh (it's not a nice solution, and
does not allway fit the business processes).

Additionally I can mention, that the company mentioned in the previous
posting, had to implement an archiving functionality, to solve their
performance problems related to synchronising data. Heavy use of attached
documents resulted early in the process that they ran into the 2GB offline
limitation of the MSDE-database.

Have installed all hotfixes... and buisness units set up right by jsooy

Wed Jul 13 07:36:07 CDT 2005

We have installed the hotfixes for the SFO client as well as the patches for
the server.

The issue is not that we are synching other peoples base records. I am only
getting about 700 accounts and 1000 records for each user. Exactly what they
should see. However , tables like CustomerAddressBase contains the
addresses for every entity in the system. So when we synch it has to deal
with 250k records in that table. Big time slow up on the system.

Still need help... anyone have any ideas?
