8 Performance Tips

This chapter describes recommendations and tips for optimal performance.

8.1 Tuning Memory for Java Applets

The Agile Web Client uses Java applets for advanced functionality. Examples include the Gantt Chart and AutoVue for Agile PLM. These applets use the Java Plug-in to run inside your browser.

The amount of memory an applet requires depends on the content it attempts to load. If you experience memory problems while running the Gantt Chart, AutoVue for Agile PLM, or other Java applets, you should increase the amount of memory available to Java applets. For information on configuring Java applet runtime parameters using the Java Control Panel, see Installing Agile PLM with Oracle WebLogic.

8.2 Running PPM Gantt Charts

When using the PPM Gantt Chart on a project containing over 100 lines, make sure the Java Heap Size is 256MB.

8.3 Optimum JVM Parameters on Solaris

After running several tests on Solaris systems with various amounts of user distribution loads for the components, the following parameters have been identified to improve out-of-box system performance:

-server -Xms3g -Xmx3g -XX:NewSize=1300m -XXMaxNewSize=1300m -XX:SurvivorRatio=3 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=100m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseMPSS
