Enterprise Forms for DotNetNuke

Version Control, Forms and Workflow Suite

This module sounds very interesting and I will most likely register tonight and check it out.  But I have a few questions.

1.  What are the performance impacts with using this module?  How does it affect load and responsie times for edits and other activities

2.  What are the database usage impacts, does this module copy over site and event log data creating duplicate sets of information?  Or does it simply report on the records inside the DNN logs?

The module rely on the core logging mechamisn to perform the required stats generation.  It does not add any additional logging overhead to the system.  Performance wise, it is like any other module.

Big Brother has the ability to report on any specified time window it therefore needs to have it own version of the sitelog and event log.  This is because by default, sitelog information are removed if it is older than a a specified number of days.  

To reduce the database usage impact we have also implemented an archival facility which can be used to archive uneeded log information which can later be imported back to the system if required.
