Performance Tuning
Sterling B2B Integrator provides a utility to help with performance tuning. You can
also perform manual performance tuning.
Performance Tuning Utility
The performance tuning utility provided with Sterling B2B Integrator helps
calculate the tuning parameter values and configure Sterling B2B Integrator for
you.
Using the Performance Tuning utility, you can tune and configure Sterling B2B
Integrator according to your business requirements. You can change the queue
settings, memory allocations, JVM settings, and pool settings. However, note that
you cannot use the utility to tune your business processes. For more information
about tuning business processes, refer to the Business Process Modeling Guide.
In the future, if you apply patches to Sterling B2B Integrator, it will not overwrite
the performance tuning changes made by the Performance Tuning utility.
Note: The suggested performance configuration settings are based on standard
calculations. You should test the performance configuration settings in a test
environment with appropriate load and then apply the settings in the production
environment.
There are performance trade-offs that may occur based on your performance
configuration settings. However, you can decide to increase or decrease the values
based on your specific requirements. Following is a list of such scenarios that may
occur, but not limited to:
v If you increase memory for server nodes and container nodes, the system will
allocate maximum memory for the JVMs thereby reducing the amount of
memory allocated to other applications. It may even lead to JVMs holding excess
amount of memory, which could have been used by other applications.
v If you increase cache settings, it may increase the speed of disk read operations,
but might affect other resources waiting for memory.
v If you increase the values in queue settings, business processes may be executed
swiftly, but it might affect the read or write operations to the database
