Techniques

The following techniques can improve the process involving uploads:

Upload without check in frequently. This serves as a primary method of back up in case you need to recover work on the workstation.
Understand how to perform an upload manually. This can be valuable if you have to restart a failed upload.
Keep uploads small during peak processing hours. Frequent uploads without check in accomplishes this. Most uploads that take less than 10 minutes will not fail because of an enqueue wait.
Perform large uploads (more than one new procedure) during non-peak processing hours.
Perform uploads with check in during non-peak processing hours, when possible. Uploads with check in take substantially longer than uploads without check in.
Teach users to select Cancel or Ignore when not making a change with the toolset. Selecting OK, even if there were no changes, can trigger an update.
