Tuning Your Database for Best Performance Steven Harmelin
There are many things to consider when trying to get the best performance out of your OpenEdge database. In this presentation, I will review the top bottlenecks the DBA team has seen over years of DBA consulting and Database Health Checks, as well as tuning recommendations that have been developed over the years. Not just tuning the database though, moving reporting off the production database and to a replicated database can have a big impact on performance. I will discuss the two ways to offload reporting and the advantages of both. I will also present a quick overview of the newly released OpenEdge, and Long-Term Supported Version, 12.8.

Customer Consignment Carlos Colmenares
For most companies, the sales order cycle finishes when items are shipped and invoiced to the customer. For a select few the process is a bit more complicated because items are shipped to the customer site and held there until they are consumed. Invoicing is delayed until items are consumed. This business model is known as customer consignment, and it is supported in QAD using standard functionality. This presentation will focus on introducing the audience to the concepts and processes necessary to support the customer consignment business model.
