Betreff: Re: Manually adding a large thesaurus

Well, deciding to switch platforms is above my paygrade, but thanks. I just need the TMS thesaurus to work faster.

I have to disagree Chad. GS uses that as a ‘solution’. Tomcat is better than TMS. Scapegoating there.

 

If their application constantly leaks memory maybe your ‘solution’ is valid. However, you should then question why they don’t have anything built-in to restart tomcat when a threshold is met.

 

Code from the 90s? When did they start developing this sloth? Netscape?

It’s impressive that museums keep using it.

 

I worked at Gallery Systems as a conversion specialist. I’d happily export your data for goodwill if you’d all like to explore your CMS options.

David, if TMS isn't slow, then the issue is most likely your Tomcat server. Try bouncing the Thesaurus Tomcat server (turning it off and on again).  That might help free up some resources.

I'm adding the Library's Picture Collection subject headings as an internal thesaurus. It has about 12,000 terms. I'm creating this from a "flat" structure (a spreadsheet) into a hierarchical one. I'm pretty proficient with SQL, but haven't figured how to do this programmatically, so I've been chipping away at manually entering the terms. I have about 2,500 to go. Problem is, the Thesaurus has become almost unusably slow. It can take over a minute to ingest one new term (that will be about 42 hours, which I can't spare). The Thesauri bundled with TMS are significantly larger, but run smoothly. Is the problem on our end (ie, the server?), an indexing issue? Something in DB Config (something under Maintenance perhaps)? I've got to speed this up somehow!

Thanks for any help!
