Webi Performance Tweaks

server administration Web Intelligence 1.x/2.x Servers
#1

We have a Webi server that is stretched to its limits. The machine crawls and often freezes during peak load.

I was hoping someone could advise me on any of the settings the Services Administrator or Broadcast Agent Console which can be adjusted or played with to increase performance.

Thanks.

I created a spreadsheet with some performance hints / comments that I collected from various sources - send me a mail.

The spreadsheet was an ongoing collection of anything relevant to webi performance - from bandwidth and using loadrunner, to performance tweaks and admin setting sugestions, server settings, conection setting etc - each area contained on a specific tab within an excel spreadsheet i.e. a quick consolidated reference for every component that could affect performance.
Unfortunately, it also includes some techsupport and User Conf suggestions - last year I passed it on to Andreas/Dave/Steve for possible inclusion in BOB and they pointed this out and we left it at that.
I oft get inundated with requests for this doc, but as I had created it as a concise ref / guide for the various sites i support in our group, I had not considered the copyright aspects :roll_eyes:

I was considering rewriting the ‘stolen’ bits, but XI was already out, so I thought I would rather set about recreating the BO (v6) sizing spreadsheet instead.

And - my latest laptop re-image has me now scratching around for another copy for myself :oops:

I’ll see what Andreas and them think about a ‘rewrite’.

Seriously, I would advise anyone to upgrade to 6.5.x or if possible to XI R2 instead of dealing with any 2.x issues.
