steckbeck Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Is it normal for the "system busy" Dialogue box to appear for each and every little change I make? It is taking me forever to get anything done. Every time I add a device, manage a scene, change a name etc, I get the "System Busy" dialogue box followed by no fewer than 10 progress bars as the ISY99 updates and communicates. Is there a way to hold these communications off with the ISY until I am finished with my edits in the admin console? I am wondering if I have some bad links or something that are causing everything to take so long. I would estimate on the order of 1-2 minutes regardless of the type of change/addition I make. Thanks!
Michel Kohanim Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Hello steckbeck, If you have ISY99i PRO series, then you can do everything in batch mode before applying the changes (except the initial registration). To answer your questions: 1. NO ... it is not normal. The Admin Console does not bring up the progress bar UNLESS it knows that the process is going to take longer than 2 minutes 2. I do think you have major communications issues. Please use Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer (on level 3), make some changes and observe the traffic. If you see many INST-ACK not followed by INST-SRX, then it means that ISY keeps trying to communicate with your device but it cannot. In short, for every INST-ACK there should be an INST-SRX. With kind regards, Michel
steckbeck Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 Michel, Thank you so much for the lightning fast response. My problem was that I had FOUR Remotelincs that were not in Communication Mode after I made changes so the ISY was bogging down trying to re initiate contact with them to pass along the changes (even if the change I was currently working did not involve one of the remotelincs). Thanks again, Now I am COOKING and learned my lesson to have all my remotelincs on the desk when I start making program changes in case one of them is involved. Respectfully,Jon
