Tuning Operating Systems and Databases for Performance

This chapter describes tuning steps designed to improve the performance and scalability of your Siebel Enterprise Server or Siebel Application Interface installation. It also contains information about tuning your Siebel database on IBM DB2. It contains the following topics:

• Tuning Microsoft Windows for Enhanced Siebel Server Performance

• Tuning the Siebel Server for All UNIX and Linux Operating Systems

• Tuning the Siebel Application Interface Computer for All Applicable UNIX and Linux Operating Systems

• Tuning the Siebel Application Interface for All UNIX and Linux Operating Systems

• Tuning Siebel CRM for AIX

• Tuning Siebel CRM for HP-UX

• Tuning Siebel CRM for Oracle Solaris

• Tuning Siebel CRM for IBM DB2

Before doing any of the procedures in this chapter, you must have completed the minimum necessary steps described in the chapters about installation and configuration tasks for the Siebel Gateway, Siebel Enterprise, Siebel Server and Siebel Application Interface, as described in Siebel Installation Guide. See also Siebel System Administration Guide and Siebel System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide.

Note: The settings provided in this chapter are based on a controlled lab environment using a standard Siebel application, such as Siebel Call Center. The degree of performance gained by using these settings at your site depends on your implementation. Contact your vendor for additional tuning recommendations for your supported operating system. Information is provided where tuning recommendations apply. In general, it can be assumed that tuning is not required if no recommendations are provided. For example, no information is provided about tuning the kernel on Linux operating systems, because such tuning is not necessary in those cases.
