CA Plex 7.2.1 & VS2013SP5: Slow C++ build performance

[JuanFernando Blasco]

Hello

We are migrating to Plex 7.2.1 from 5 and some builds with Visual Studio 2013 SP5 get too slow. Some builds has gone from a few minutes to 12 hours with Plex 7.2.1 & VS2013SP5.
Looking at the documentation, we have found:

https://ftpdocs.broadcom.com/cadocs/0/CA%20Plex%207%202-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/PDF/Plex_Release_ENU.pdf"... You may experience slow C ++ build performance compared with previous releases. For tips on improving the performance of WinC and WinNTC compiles using Visual Studio 2005, see the Technical Document TEC415593 in the Knowledge Base on CA Support ... "

We have opened a case at Broadcom through our partner, but Broadcom cannot find such document.

Has anyone downloaded it?
Does anyone know the reason for those slow compilations?

Hello Juan,

I found a .mht file for TEC415593 within in our company.
TEC415593 is information on Plex r6.0 and Visual Studio 2005, but I hope it is useful information for you.

By the way, I haven't tried the performance improvement method of TEC415593 because I was not dissatisfied with the build performance in my environment.
(We gen and build in a local environment.)

Regards,
Hifumi
