Description of the Issue
Users may observe that Evolution needs a considerable amount of time, e.g. several minutes, to complete searching for inventory, customer, supplier or GL account records when making use of the various modulesâ Maintenance Grid Search facility.
This long waiting period may be observed when searching for example a specific stock item in a company with around 3000 or more items.

scenarios:
⢠occurs on all users/workstations/branches on a company database
⢠occurs on the same company database in a different environment
Solution / Details
The following steps explain how to resolve the abovementioned query:
1. Close the relevant Evolution company across the entire network.
2. Open MS SQL Management Studio.
3. Right click on the relevant database | Properties.
4. Click on the Options page on the left and notice the current Compatibility Level
on the right. It may be on SQL Server 2014 (120) especially if running on MS SQL
2014.
5. If having this Compatibility Level, change this to SQL Server 2012 (110) and click
on the OK button below to save the changes.
This step is required due to certain aspects of the MS SQL 2014 execution plan not
being fully compatible with optimal Evolution performance, but fortunately fixed in
SQL 2016.
