I maintain two Supergroups, MASS1 AND MASS2. I gave Margaret and
Julie the appropriate information in the training class to transfer
them over from the DEC-10. I have been "experimenting" with the
Aggregate Functions screens and so far have not had any success
in finding out if they are on the new system.
Two questions:
1. How do I find out if they are on the new system?
2. Once in place, is the functionality available to use the Supergroups
with the invoiced shipments screen?
Comment on using NOTES:
I totally agree with the concept, but it is very difficult to deal
with the slowness. I timed with a stop watch this morning and it
took three minutes for the typing to appear on the screen.
Any suggestions?

This is definitely a Network traffic problem, as users
company-wide complain about the 'slowness' of using Notes
interactively at times (this is especially true if you are
routed through one of the high traffic areas to get to your
destination).
One way to get around this, for reading notes anyway, is
to submit a batch job on your local VAX node to run
off-hours:
$NOTES
OPEN {conference_name}
EXTRACT/UNSEEN/SEEN NOTES.TXT *.*
CLOSE
EXIT
$EXIT
This way you get to read the notes (using TYPE or an
editor) at your leisure and without the network traffic
getting in your way.
There are also many good procedures available through the
TOOLSHED that will monitor, extract and/or mail notes for you.

| 59.2 | I have the Supergroups | CINEMX::COPUSER78 | Tom Malomo | Thu Oct 20 1988 15:57 | 9 |
Here is a partial answer on Supergroups:
I am in possession of the paperwork that users turned over to Margaret
and Julie. I will be setting up the Supergroups on the VAX. It
shouldn't be much longer now, maybe a week or two at most. When they
are set up, I will let you know via Message of the Day (MOD). Thanks
for your patience. If you have any questions give me a call: Tom
Malomo 269-2411.

| 59.3 | another hint with notes | HBO::MARINO | JUDY | Mon Oct 24 1988 14:26 | 19 |
Another hint for speeding up the use of notes if the network is slow
is to write your reply in a file (using the editor of choice) BEFORE
entering notes. Then when you OPEN COPIS_USERS, all you have to
do is enter the reply rather than writing it interactively from scratch.
notes > write/noedit text.txt
or
notes > reply/noedit text.txt (Be sure to position yourself at
the note you want to respond to before
replying)
