Increasing performance

Increasing
performance
In busy environments, you may have to minimize replication traffic and remove
resource contention issues between replication and authentication. The
following sections describe how to configure your software for best results.
Archiving during minimal activity periods
One way of increasing performance is by archiving during your organization’s
minimal activity periods. For example, if your organization is busiest between
the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m, then archiving after 7 p.m. and before 7 a.m.
reduces the database conflicts between archiving and authentication.
Changing the default archive value
The
sccservers.ini
file contains the entry that determines when archiving
occurs. By default the value is set to archive logs every hour. To change the
setting and force log archiving to only occur during minimal activity periods,
you must uncomment the attribute and change the range specifier value to the
hour or range of hours when you want archiving to occur.
To enable archiving times during minimal activity periods, browse to the
<Install_Dir>\SERVERS\Shared\sccservers.ini
file.
1
Find and uncomment the entry:
#SkipArchivingHours=6-18
.
2
On the same line, specify the hours when you do not want to log archives
by entering the specific hour or range of hours. The following rules apply
when setting your hours:
–
Archiving hours are 0-based and use a 24-hour clock.
–
Entries can be either a specific number or a dash-separated range of
numbers. For example, the value
0, 6-18, 23
would skip archiving during
the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
–
Spaces are ignored and individual entries are comma-delimited.

Restart the Administration Server.
Note:
Use of this feature does not affect
how
the audit log archives are created.
Instead, it only affects
when
the Administration Server performs the archiving.
Using multiple database connections
You can fine tune database and networking throughput for replication if your
network topology has higher than normal network latencies. By default, the
number of replication threads is set to one (1). Increasing the number of
replication threads may improve replication performance in your environment.
To change the number of replication threads, browse to the
<Install_Dir>\SERVERS\Shared\sccservers.ini
file.
