FLEXSCHE Performance Tuning Service
FLEXSCHE Performance Tuning Service

FLEXSCHE is optimized to the extreme for the shortest scheduling processing time, but even so, with large-scale data or complex scheduling logic, considerable processing time may be required. We sometimes receive requests to shorten this time as much as possible, and to meet these requests, we offer the FLEXSCHE Performance Tuning Service (FPTS).

In this service, customers operate FLEXSCHE themselves to collect profiles, based on which we create and provide a custom FLEXSCHE installer for the customer. By focusing on customer-specific data and optimizing each program module of FLEXSCHE, it is expected that the processing speed of FLEXSCHE will be further accelerated in terms of that data, logic, and operation procedures.

Flow of Module Provision

1. Profile Collection

   Please prepare the data you are operating or equivalent data. Perform operations similar to those during actual operation to create the characteristic and trend information (profile) of the process. A module for profile collection is included, so it needs to be replaced in advance.

   * The profile collection module takes time to execute. Expect about 10 times the usual time required.

2. Profile Submission

   Please send the collected profile information to FLEXSCHE Corporation.

3. Build Dedicated Module (FLEXSCHE Corporation)

   Based on the submitted profile, we will build a user-specific module within our company.

   * It will take a few days.

4. Acquisition of Dedicated Module

   We will notify you by email when the build is complete. You can download the dedicated module that has been accelerated.

5. Application of Dedicated Module

   By replacing the downloaded dedicated module with the existing module of FLEXSCHE, the acceleration application is complete.

FPTSManager and FPTS Server

To carry out the above procedures, a tool called FPTSManager is used. Operations such as profile creation and submission, obtaining the built custom module, and module replacement are performed with this tool. Additionally, a web service called the FPTS server is running on our side, and FPTSManager interacts with this server, so there is no need to contact our staff directly. There is also no need to directly manipulate files using Explorer or other tools.

In maintenance mode, you can replace the obtained custom module with the standard module and start FLEXSCHE. It is convenient for reverting to the state before acceleration application and for comparative verification of the acceleration effect by FPTS. You can also delete old files from here.

Other Supplementary Information about the Service

• It only applies to the latest release version/revision of the maintenance target version.
• We cannot guarantee specific figures for how much acceleration can be expected.
• Since FLEXSCHE is already optimized to the extreme, there may be cases where no effect is seen depending on the data and processing content. Sometimes it may even become slower.
• The profile information is merely aggregated information about the program's operational tendencies. It does not include project-specific information, so please rest assured.
• Even if the PC with FLEXSCHE installed is in an offline environment, you can copy FPTSManager to another PC with an online connection to perform only the procedural part with the FPTS server.
• If you wish to have an acceleration module for a corrective release, you will need to redo the procedure from profile collection.

At present, this service is provided free of charge without any limit on the number of times, only for licenses with a maintenance contract.
* In the future, there may be changes such as charging fees or setting limits on the number of times.
