Sun Identity Manager 8.1 System Administrator's Guide

Tuning Initial Loads

    To improve performance during a large, initial user load, follow this procedure:

  1. Disable all Audit Events from the Identity Manager Administrator interface.


    Note –

    Audit Logging can add several records per operation, making future audit reports perform more slowly.


    1. Choose Configure -> Audit.

    2. On the Audit Configuration page, deselect the Enable auditing box and click Save.

  2. Disable the list cache by shutting down the web server or by changing the ChangeNotifier.updateSearchIntervalCount property (on the debug/Show_WSProp.jsp debug page) to 0..

    The list cache keeps lists of users in frequently accessed organizations in memory. To maintain these lists, the list cache searches for and checks all newly created users.

  3. Clear the current list cache on the debug/Clear_List_Cache.jsp page.

  4. Ensure that the workflow being used to process the users does not contain approvals.

  5. Use alternative load methods, which include:

    • Splitting the load and running the data in zones

    • Using bulk loads, which are much faster

    • Loading from a file

  6. Disable Data Exporter for the WorkflowActivity type.
