10 tips for optimizing server and Commerce software performance
It doesn't matter whether you use a rented remote server or a computer in a store, warehouse, or office, any "machine" requires periodic maintenance and careful handling.
We have collected 10 useful and simple tips for you to optimize the performance of your server and the Torgsoft program.
Questions and answers are based on real events :) You ask - we answer!
How much hard disk space is required for the program to work properly?
It is recommended to keep at least 15-20% of the free space on the disk where Torgsoft is located.
You can set your PC to go to sleep or hibernate and disconnect the hard disk at the same time?
The computer should not enter sleep/hibernation mode, and the hard disk should not be disconnected during periods of computer inactivity. To do this, you need to configure the computer's power management circuit.
Does it matter on which disk (system disk (C), disk (D), etc.) the Torgsoft program will be installed?
It is advisable to place the directory with the program and database on a disk other than the system disk (not where Windows itself is installed).
If the program is already installed on the system disk (drive (C) where Windows is installed), can I move it to another disk?
You can, but you need to stop the application server, licensing, and SQL Server. If you have a database located in the directory with the program, you need to unlink the old database location in SQL Server. Then copy the program to a non-system disk (for example, drive (D)). Then you need to bind the database from the new directory of the Torgsoft program in SQL Server. After that, run the Torgsoft program. The program should automatically start the stopped components.
How can I increase the speed of the program?
To increase performance, we recommend using SSD drives. SSDs are faster, quieter, more energy-efficient, lightweight, and do not require defragmentation.
Does the use of an antivirus and/or firewall, firewall affect the operation of the Torgsoft program??
If you use a firewall and/or antivirus, you need to make sure that their settings include rules that allow the operation of services and program components, and do not block ports necessary for the program and a number of additional options.

It takes me a long time to calculate the cost price, how can I speed up the calculation process?
Setting up automatic costing outside of business hours can speed up costing.
I often have power outages and as a result the database gets damaged, what can I do about it?
To prevent damage to the database and SQL server due to a power outage, use an uninterruptible power supply and configure the software to shut down the operating system correctly.
If you don't have the time or desire to do this, Torgsoft technical support will help you optimize the performance of your operating system.
