Subject:  Re: Can FoxWeb support this load??
I thought so too.

my current client has 120 locations, which we run, portal, online shopping, etc..

I currently run asp.net hybrid with foxweb.. mostly foxweb tho.. the asp.net is used for other data connections.

my new client is going to be strictly foxweb!

Glad to hear..

Looking forward to closing the deal, and buying FoxWeb for a new client :)

Nothing in your description makes me think that FoxWeb would not be able to handle the load. In fact, if your application is written efficiently and given a decent server, FoxWeb should be able to handle way more locations than what you plan to have.

I am currently running FoxWeb for a client, and I love it.

I have a potential client that has the following, and i wanted to make sure that FoxWeb can scale to this requirements:

1- 300 locations. (currently, they only have 120, but, they are expanding in the next 6months to a year)..
2- 3 pcs per locations. (usually 1 or 2 though), xp or vista's.
3- 1 robust win2k3, running IIS server and running FoxWeb Server at corp
4- 1 robust sql server, strictly for MS SQL 2005

One PC from each location will transmit a small XML file (for data sync) which contains the transactions made or contains records that needs to be sync'd with the corp server.

on the server side, i consume the xml via foxweb, xml2cursor() the file, and have a func to put it in sql..

an example of the xml file:

5 sales records (about 50 fields each)
1 inventory record (about 30 fields)
1 additional inv record (serial inventory, about 15 fields)
1 customer record records (name, address, etc..)
1 other transaction record (payment record).

Interval of update is about 5 to 10 min per location..

again, only 1 PC is going to connect, do a post with the xml file..

i will have another small app that monitors the local dbf, gathers the records that aren't udpated (maybe a flag), gather them to xml, post, record in the dbf the timedate() when synch, and set the flag that it was synch.

if there aren't any records to be sync, it won't hit the server.
