Client Operations Test: User Operations from an On-Premises Developer Tool Client
Client Operations Test: User Operations from an On-Premises Developer Tool Client
We tested various actions from an on-premises deployment of the Developer tool connecting to a Model repository deployed in the Azure environment.
The test resulted in the following findings:
For a small to medium mapping with 5-10 transformations, import/export, rename, delete, copy-paste, and open operations take 1-3 seconds. For large mappings, such as those with 100+ transformations, the same operations take 7-21 seconds.
Large mappings take a disproportionately long time to open in the Developer tool.
You can reduce the time consumed by Developer tool operations by staging the developer tool on a dedicated Windows VM in the Azure environment. Using a Developer tool in the same VNet as the solution also removes the need for adding an entry in the client machine hosts file.
