OBJECTIVE:
This document provides a workflow for Application Slowness.

Issue Short Description : Slowness Issue
Service Type : IR
Priority : High
Problem Code : Application Slowness - Internet Issue Or Network Server Issue

INPUTS:
1. Distributor Information
2. Confirm the Module


To address the application’s performance issue, let's proceed with the following steps:

1. Confirm Module with Customer:
Begin by asking the customer to specify the exact module or modules where they experience slow performance. This will help us narrow down the root cause.

2. Request Screen Control:
Politely request control over their screen, which will allow us to directly observe the performance issues.

3. Ask Customer to Demonstrate:
Ask the customer to guide you through the specific steps or actions they perform when they notice the slowdown. This can help identify if certain actions, inputs, or navigations are contributing to the issue.

Workflow:
  • Create a case in the ServiceNow portal and provide the case ID to the customer
  • Contact the distributor to get additional information and request for clarification if needed

  • Analyse the issue using the following steps:

    1. Login to the Distributor Portal: Use the provided ID and Password to access the system (Via Control)

    2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Instruct users to clear their cache and cookies, as stored data can sometimes slow down web applications.

    3. Browser Compatibility Check: Verify if the application is optimized for the browser in use. Try accessing it through different browsers to see if the slowness persists.

    4. Network Speed Test: Confirm that the user’s internet connection is stable and running at a sufficient speed for the application’s requirements. A slow connection can significantly impact performance.

    5. Connect with Technical Team:
    If the slowness issue persists:
  • Connect with the technical team.
  • Inquire whether any PAN India reports are being generated in the backend that could be affecting performance.
  • If not assign the case to development team.

  • 6. Document the Findings
  • Summarize the problem (slowness) and all actions taken to troubleshoot the issue.
