Oracle WebCenter Portal Performance Pack Online Help

Let’s say you have expanded your company and will be hiring 50 new employees. This means that additional users will soon be performing the set of tasks that current users perform in Oracle WebCenter Portal on a daily basis. You want to know if you can optimize any methods to make sure that performance isn’t compromised by adding these new users.

To find methods for possible optimization:

1. Go to the Method Statistics page and click Reset Statistics to remove all the current methods listed.

2. Sign in to Oracle WebCenter Portal and perform the required set of tasks.

3. Go to the Method Statistics page.

   Every instrumented method that was executed during the test has been aggregated and is listed in the table.

By scanning the list of methods and concentrating on the number of hits and total time for each method, you can easily determine methods that are the most expensive. By eliminating high-level methods you can then limit your search to low-level methods. For these methods you should also take into consideration the minimum, maximum, and average times. By optimizing the methods that are most expensive you should not find any performance issues when new users are added.
