The performance of your dashboard site is slow in SharePoint Portal Server 2001
The performance of your dashboard site in Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 is slow. It takes a longer time than expected to browse Web pages in the dashboard site and to open documents in the dashboard site. In certain scenarios, you may have to restart the server.
To improve the performance of the dashboard site, enable dashboard definition caching. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, switch to the following folder:
Drive:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal
Server\Bin
- Type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
cscript portalperf.vbs "http://ServerName/WorkspaceName/portal"
dashboarddef enable
- Type exit to close the Command Prompt window.
When you enable dashboard definition caching for a dashboard, the dashboard caches the list of Web Parts and of subdashboards for all users. The content is cached for two hours. When the cache time-out period expires, the dashboard retrieves the list of Web Parts and of subdashboards, and then the content is cached for another two hours.
For more information about dashboard definition caching, see the "Dashboard Performance Considerations" white paper (Newportalperf.doc). The Newportalperf.doc file is located in the Support\Documentation folder of the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server Service Pack installation media.
Note To disable dashboard definition caching, if dashboard definition caching is enabled, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, switch to the following folder:
Drive:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal
Server\Bin
- Type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
cscript portalperf.vbs "http://ServerName/WorkspaceName/portal"
dashboarddef disable
- Type exit to close the Command Prompt window.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
