Artifact Creation Time
Hello Experts,
I am not new to teamcity however I have been struggling with one aspect of TC that is artifact creation time. I am seeing that timecity (v2017.1.5) taking almost an hour to create artifacts that are around 2 GB, is it normal?
out build takes around 20 minutes to finish but artifacts takes an hour which is adding to the frustration,
Any suggestions ideas are highly appreciated.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, last week was busy here. Also, the information you provided is not enough to say why it might be happening. Creating artifacts can be as long or as short as your process to create them is. Creating the artifacts is in charge of the build process. If your build process creates them much faster locally, please follow the steps here (https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD18/Common+Problems#CommonProblems-BuildworkslocallybutfailsormisbehavesinTeamCity) to try and debug, and if it still doesn't help, the last steps indicate how to report the problem in a way that we will be able to tackle much easier.
This said, I'd also recommend upgrading to the latest release before reporting. It might be possible that all the bugfixes might help in solving the problem.
If the issue is not creating the artifacts, as you posted, but publishing them, that is going to depend as well on where your agents and server are, what the network limitation is, etc. Publishing artifacts is a process from which the agent sends the files to the server. If network is congested, unreliable, etc, it's perfectly possible that that puts a large delay in the transfer. TeamCity doesn't impose its own limits, but there were some issues some time ago with some specific network infrastructures on amazon where due to some of the networking options defaulted by teamcity transfer could be slower.
