Tune the performance of Web Determinations

Tune the performance of Web Determinations

Before deploying Web Determinations to your application server, there are a few settings that should be checked to ensure the best possible performance.

Java

The following steps assume that if the Java version of Web Determinations is being used, the application has been unpacked prior to making any configuration changes:

  1. Under WEB-INF\classes\configuration open the log4j.xml  file and make sure that level value is set at the very least to warn (the default value); for example:

    <level value=”warn” />

    This will ensure that logging is not set to debug, which slows the overall response time of the application.

  2. Under WEB-INF\classes\configuration open the application.properties file and make sure the enable.debugger property is set to false; for example:

    enable.debugger = false

    This will ensure that Web Determinations does not allow connections from the debugger. If set to true, this adds a small overhead which in turn affects performance.

.NET

The following steps describe the settings that need to be checked and possibly changed to ensure the best possible performance of the .NET Web Determinations:

  1. Under the root Web Determinations folder, open the Web.config file and make sure that compilation debug is set to false; for example:

    <compilation debug=”false”></compilation>

    This will ensure that extra debugging symbols are not inserted into any of the compiled pages, significantly increasing the performance of Web Determinations.

  2. Under bin\configuration, open the log4net.xml file and make sure that level value is set at the very least to warn (the default value); for example:

    <level value=”warn” />

    This will ensure that logging is not set to debug, which slows the overall response times of the application.

  3. Under bin\configuration open the application.properties file and make sure the enable.debugger property is set to false; for example:

    enable.debugger = false

    This will ensure that Web Determinations does not allow connections from the debugger. If set to true this adds a small overhead which in turn affects performance.
