Tuning Performance

Oracle Unified Directory aims to be high-performing and highly-scalable. Although the server can achieve impressive results with the "out-of-the-box" server configuration and default JVM settings, performance can often be improved significantly through some basic tuning.

The default settings of Oracle Unified Directory are targeted at evaluators and developers who are running equipment with limited resources. When you deploy Oracle Unified Directory in a production environment, it useful to do some initial tuning of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and of the server configuration to improve scalability and performance (particularly for write operations).

This section covers the following topics:

• Assessing Performance Problems

• General Performance Tuning

• Tuning Java Virtual Machine Settings

• Tuning the Server Configuration
