ARCitect is taking signikficantly long times to save a file.

[jagdish7396]

I have been facing with the ARCitect software. Specifically, when I create a material sheet for a study and attempt to save it, the software takes an excessively long time to process. For small studies, it buffers for over 10 minutes, and for larger studies containing hundreds of observations, the waiting time is significantly longer.

This delay is severely impacting the workflow.

Also sometimes the screen compleletely turns into white

Hi @jagdish7396, where is your ARC stored?

[jagdish7396]

in the downloads folder

[Brilator]

Ok, thanks. I'm asking, since we ran into issues with ARCs stored on network drives, hard drives or cloud folders.

[jagdish7396]

hello Brilator, is the issue solved? Any solution that you have found or any suggestions you give to streamline the process would be of a great help to me. Thank you so much.

[Brilator]

Can you please create a fresh ARC with only a few studies and check whether you run into the same issue? Thanks

[Brilator]

Is this the same ARC that created the issue #319 ?

[jagdish7396]

yes it is the same ARC what created issue #319 but then i deleted those files that and recreated them using ARCItect

[Brilator]

Do you run into the same issue when creating a fresh ARC with only a few studies and samples?

[jagdish7396]

issue #319 was i could not open an ARC itself due to incompatible files(created or modified out side the ARCitect locally oúsing excel) . i corrected that and now the issue is ARCitect is taking too long to save a material sheet created within ARCitect.

Have you tried this?

It looks like this is a pretty big ARC and ARCtrl currently has problems with those. Does the save process ever finish? Otherwise you might have ran into another silent error. @HLWeil

Yes, the save process was finishing. But, it took really a long time. sometimes upto half an hour for the material sheets with more than 3000 observations/plants

Hey @jagdish7396,

I see your ARC contains a lot of assays/studies. Saving all of them might take a while, but usually this is not necessary, as we write only those assay/studies which have been changed.

Maybe this somehow did not work. Could you check whether only the assay you made changes to has been overwritten or if ARCitect did overwrite all you assay/study files?

[jagdish7396]

Actually I have created material sheets for different studies of wheat experiments. So technically I have created new files with lot of data in it. It took a while but actually everything was saved.

[HLWeil]

That's good to hear!

Just to make sure: If you now make a single change in one of the studies and save, does this now work fast or does it still take a lot of time?

Maybe access to the preliminary data, that is currently prepared using local storage, could help to reproduce. There is a version uploaded to a nextcloud share:

Its yet sharable for the community, but could used for bug fixing and test case.
