We've got a Performance Problem with a Application which is running on
a Citrix Terminalserver Farm. The Application use
one Advanced Server V7.3-130A Share for storing Configuration Data
and Result Data.
If we start the Application from a ICA-Client ( with one
Terminalserver in the farm) everything is fine.
If we start the Application from a ICA-Client ( with two or more
Terminalserver in the farm) , the Application is frozen for 20 - 40
sec.
After that the Application is running . The frozen Situation is
repeating several times.What the Application do is to open some Files
which contains Information about the system.
These open files we can see with admin show open .

If we use a Win2000 Share, we didn't saw these Problems.

Does anybody has any idea ?

Does the RMS handling for open files from VMS cause this Problems ?

Enviroment :
ES40 with OpenVMS 7.3-2, TCPIP V5.4 - ECO 2, MA8000 Storage System
