I am trying to export a 30 table data this process usually takes 30 seconds or less, but today it’s taking minutes to complete or crashing all together. I rebooted my machine and it ran in seconds. When I tried again 30 minutes later, it’s take 30 minutes or more. has anyone experienced this type of behavior ? ---

Hi Mike, Could you tell us more about your TDM version, database platform/version of your model and what kind of export are you doing? Regards, Lukas ---

I’m on TDM Version 5.5.3.20. The model dbms is SQLServer 2012 and I’m doing an export to Excel of about 40 tables. I ran it this morning about restarting my laptop and it ran in 20 seconds. ---

Hi again Mike, I’m afraid we can’t reproduce the problem, even after doing several exports to Excel in a row, often exporting a large model, the duration of the export was the same. Could you possibly send us your model (via e-mail)? If it is a model-specific issue, we should discover it quickly that way. Regards, Lukas ---

Hi Lukas, Yes, I can send you a model. The next time I experience the issue, I’ll send you the model. I haven’t had the opportunity to do an export today.
