Check your IIS Settings, you will see that the amount of ram each application pool can use is configurable. Your issue could be a sql query that is not optimized. How long does the sql query take to run? If that isn't the issue you could install this http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/[^] It will enable you to determine how long each .net method is taking to execute. If that doesn't help you could install fire fox, firebug and http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/[^] Basically, you need to rule out a hole host of issues before you go adding ram to your web server. I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Yeah. I know it is. But had web questions answered to me in this Forum before. Sometimes you can get a good idea/push from people in here. Sorry for the breach of etiquette. Usually I don't do this. I really need to make my problem work and right now I'm not even sure how to start. Tanks, Alex.

I already got this response. Thank you. Didn't know but now do. How about answer 2 my question?

OK. Firgure it out. Wow. Yeah.

There's a lot of information and it's all other the place. Why can't they just put it all together for user who wants to do development. You know what I mean. Step to follow to make sure you have all in place for development. Web Parts work good. My boss was happy. I guess MS wants you to take bunch of courses instead of figuring it out on your own. Do you have any links/info I can use for SahrePoint development? Thank you,

I don't think these are specific to SharePoint. I was talking about SharePoint specific web parts. See my post from before.

Thank you. As I understand this is a Stored Procedure, right? The other question I have is: can I just run this command separetly from my code: EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'DTEXEC /sq "TEST_PACKAGE_NAME" /ser TEST_SERVER' Package doesn't accept any parameters. I created it when I was importing test.txt file and selected the option to create package on the fly. By the way how can I modify it if needed? Thanks a lot.

Hope this will Help you. DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(255) DECLARE @Wait INT DECLARE @result INT, @OLEResult INT DECLARE @ShellID INT SET @Wait = 0 SET @cmd = 'DTEXEC /sq "TestSSPSPackageName" /ser /Set \Package.Variables[User::varTargetName].Properties[Value];"c:\dtsxTest\Test2.txt"' -- create instance of OLE object EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'WScript.Shell', @ShellID OUT IF @OLEResult <> 0 SELECT @result = @OLEResult IF @OLEResult <> 0 RAISERROR ('CreateObject %0X', 14, 1, @OLEResult) -- run package EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @ShellID, 'Run', NULL, @cmd, 0, @Wait IF @OLEResult <> 0 SELECT @result = @OLEResult IF @OLEResult <> 0 RAISERROR ('Run %0X', 14, 1, @OLEResult) If @OLEResult <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @ShellID, @OLEResult -- drop object EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OADestroy @ShellID -- I think this will run an an asynchronous process.

The server it installed on has access to the path so I don't think it's a permission issue. We've tried to give permission to everyone for this folder and still had problems. By the way the initial test of the application was trying to access share on the same server and failed. Do you know any way around it? We will be calling batch from another computer and we need to use UNC paths.

Thanks man. That's exactly what I did :). Here we go, just in case you'll need it. Import System.Management library into your project first then, Try ' Create a ManagementClass object Dim managementClass As System.Management.ManagementClass = New System.Management.ManagementClass("Win32_Share") ' Create ManagementBaseObjects for in and out parameters Dim inParams As System.Management.ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create") Dim outParams As System.Management.ManagementBaseObject ' Set the input parameters inParams("Description") = "My Shared Files" inParams("Name") = partner_name inParams("Path") = Session("Path").ToString() ' This is a path to existing directory inParams("Type") = 0 ' Disk Drive ' Invoke the method on the ManagementClass object outParams = managementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, Nothing) ' Check to see if the method invocation was successful If (CType(outParams.Properties("ReturnValue").Value, Integer) <> 0) Then Throw New Exception("Unable to share directory.") End If Catch ex As Exception 'Return e.Message End Try
