GlobalSearch moves very slowly after an upgrade

Solution

Running these after the upgrade is a good way to alleviate some common When upgrading GlobalSearch, the installer will automatically update the SQL databases. If the scripts did not or could not run during the upgrade, it can cause slowness. Running these scripts manually after the upgrade can alleviate the performance issues.

  2. Back up your GlobalSearch production databases (default is "GetSmart") as well as your SSMaster database
  3. Open your getsmart directory on your server and load the SSMasterUpgrader.sql script into a new query window in SSMS and run itIn your server's application directory (default "C:\GetSmart"), locate the file "SSMasterUpgrader.sql" and open it in SSMS.
