Slow performance with desktop Enterprise

Hi Team,

We use Reckon Hosted with a multi-user pack accessed by approximately 25 members. I also have the desktop version installed so I can run reports when needed without interrupting others. For this purpose, I work from a QBW file stored locally on my desktop (C drive).

However, when I open the desktop version, the system runs extremely slowly, significantly slower than the online version. It takes hours to generate a report, and the system keeps running for a long time before the report finally appears.

Could you please advise whether this level of delay is expected when using the desktop file? If not, I would appreciate your assistance in identifying the cause and resolving the performance issue.

Thank you,

Nice one @Zappy!

Did you end up working through that help article with @prasanna, or did something else improve the performance?

prasanna

Hi Jason,

please give your input on how to enhance performance and it will be invaluable,

currently, I am trying to rebuild the file and fix the errors. hopefully that will resolve the issue

one of the file size is 1.9GB and 20 users other 1.4gb with 10 users

sales order processing is the hardest hit part and take ages to changes or update

Thanks

Sorry, I was under the impression from your last message that the issue was resolved.

Did you have a chance to go through the article that Zappy and I shared? That would be my first recommendation.

Hi @prasanna ,

In addition to the Jason's suggestion , I would also like you to check the .TLG file size, as this can indicate whether it’s contributing to the slowdown. You can try resetting the .TLG file, as this often helps improve the performance of your Reckon Accounts company file.
If a backup hasn’t been done for a long time, the .TLG file may become quite large, which can slow down the process. Resetting the .TLG file can help reduce this impact and improve overall performance.
I’ve attached an article below with detailed steps on how to reset the .TLG file for your reference.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
