Application Issues
The following application-related information may be helpful to you over time:
- FRB Not Working Well on Zen v15: Some early adopters of Actian Zen v15 have reported FRB to be "not working well". Disabling the new performance-related feature "File Close Delay" addressed this issue. While Datacor developers are working to make their software compatible with this new feature, if you do experience problems with FRB, you should try disabling this feature within the database engine. Start the ZenCC and click on Configure Local Engine. Go to the Performance tab and set File Close Delay to 0.
