Increasing eInsight Engine Performance

The eInsight engine has three properties that affect performance:

• Max Concurrent Instances

• Max Runtime Thread Pool Size

The Max Concurrent Instances property indicates the amount of inbound messages that each BP processes simultaneously. For example, if you set this property to 10, the BP processes up to ten inbound messages at the same time. When the eleventh message is received, the BP does not process the message until the processing of one of the ten messages has been completed.

The Max Runtime Thread Pool Size property defines how many threads BPs can invoke simultaneously.

These settings are a trade-off between performance and memory. Depending on how much memory your system has, you can specify these settings accordingly. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend actual settings here because the memory capacity of your system is unknown. If you find your Project processes too slowly, or messages are lost, increase these settings as your system allows.

For instructions on configuring runtime properties of the eInsight engine, and more information about these properties, see the eInsight Business Process Manager User's Guide.
