The common theme across GOLD is severe performance issues with Maintenance from what I read here. I suggest the developers relook at managing maintenance as it continues to be a major performance issue. I suggest doing a COUNT first and check the load required and then manage it in chunks vs. one ma...

Is there a sitemap file it's coming from?

The license key simply allows you to run versions per your subscription. You can continue using your existing key because it allows the version you're running. When R8 releases, which is released after your prior subscription, you will need the new key for the licensing to allow R8 to run.

Katie, One thing to keep in mind is that when you get a "love note" regarding NEXUS you don't have taxes setup for that state at that time. In my case with Michigan I have to go back from 2010 forward and get a break down of all sales in the state of MI and also by products as not all products are a...

Exactly Katie, agree on all counts. I'll check further into GOLD when I get it going hopefully with R8 and let you know if I need more. All this mess really makes running a business less and less appealing as it's so time intensive, small biz's trying to do things right is overwhelming.

Katie, What I have needed and haven't seen, keep in mind I'm not running GOLD yet so I am not totally familiar with the reports other than my preliminary review of R7, is a report that gives sales breakdown by Country/Province. I get a monthly report from Apple for in-app purchases that give a detai...

For those that are doing IRS / sales tax correctly, you are aware of NEXUS laws. I posted the suggestion at http://ablecommerce.uservoice.com/forums/178762-ablecommerce-gold/suggestions/5673271-sales-day-by-province regarding the need for a report but I want to post here as I need to escalate how cr...

Logan???? http://nhforge.org/doc/nh/en/index.html#transactions-connection-release 11.7. Connection Release Modes The legacy (1.0.x) behavior of NHibernate in regards to ADO.NET connection management was that a ISession would obtain a connection when it was first needed and then hold unto that connec...

Jay, Odd, the URL is correct, the forum'ware isn't parsing it, I used a shortened url. The article is about ADO.NET connection pooling. The issue though is this is ADO.NET, I'm not sure NHibernate participates in this or what it uses for its pooling, if anything. I don't have experience with NHibern...

Connection pooling doesn't mean only one connection. Also read below where calling close in a finalizer is incorrect.

Jay,

I disagree with that and it's actually discouraged to close a connection when it's in a using block. Where are you hearing otherwise?

Overnight - memory stable, site performant, test terminated.

I'm using SQL FTS, low values for maintenance storage (anonymous, page tracking, etc), and I'm not using google feed while in development.

About 2.5-3 hours in to the test, did a check and memory is stable at around 850 MB, little processor activity, site continues to perform well, even hitting it from a second computer and site is doing great. acdev-2hrs.jpg Again, stock/new GOLD R7 no customizations, two server config web & sql, no p...

Added a .js file to loop selenium - those that want to use this here is the link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11033321/how-to-loop-tests-in-selenium-ide I'm running a continuous loop on my acdev site now, it's essentially single user continually hitting the site adding products to the cart, c...

I'm going to give selenium a try: Open with FireFox - http://docs.seleniumhq.org/

I have a GOLD R7 stock site attached to a restored/upgraded 707 database with the same content and config as http://www.nc-software.com. It's locked to my IP so no one can see it right now, but I hit the site, played around for 5 minutes discovering a bug with kitting sadly (reported) but in only a ...

Katie / Devs

I have a site that will be dormant for a while until I get to doing the migration. If you all can provide me any suggestions or desires or how to stress test it then I'd be happy to do this for you.

Jay, I followed that thread and bug report - good job. That is the type of thing that concerns me that if there is an object like that in memory it could cause an issue. As you did, it needs to be raised to developers to fix properly. If an AC GOLD site cannot run months unattended, it is a problem....

Jay, I was joking along the line of recycling. I suggest leave IIS to defaults. Moral of the story here is Joe has found an issue, while his fix may work for his situation, I don't suggest this tip is something everyone go out and do as there are significant ramifications of doing something like thi...

What is the server OS:
How much RAM:
Processor type:
Processor quantity:
Hard drive type:
Hard drive RAID:
Is the site running under any type of virtualization:

I do not agree with the above assessment or tip. It sounds like the hardware is insufficient to run the site but without specifying the details no one can comment. Setting 32 bit mode without full knowing the impact is unwise. If AC GOLD has a memory issue or instability issue it should be reported ...

Why is the memory at 800K to 1200K a concern? 64-bit apps can use more memory and that is a GOOD thing. You are forcing the store to use less memory as if you put the site into 32 bit mode you have process restrictions on the amount of memory used. Now if the site is showing signs of issues, then th...

Please consider adding a knowledgebase solution to your web site. There is a lot of information in this forum that could be lifted into helpful articles. The wiki doesn't seem to be used or maintained, KB articles are a common way of searching for and getting quick answers to problems. I use Kayako ...

The documentation simply is a collection of screenshots with brief caption of what something does which is of little value in my opinion. I retract this statement. After looking more into some of the documentation there is more helpful information than I first saw that will help non-experienced AC ...

Anyways, this was just about trying to get bigger fonts to be more readable...thx, will just zoom.
