If general operations are slow on a system running multiple users but not with only one user, the server might be overloaded. Consider the following changes:
-
Monitor server memory usage.
-
Exceeding the memory on the server commonly results in memory errors. Monitor the server memory to check usage against allocation.
-
If memory is being exceeded, increase available memory.
-
-
-
Offload the SmartPlant Foundation Scheduler.
-
Set up an additional computer to process the scheduled tasks.
-
This arrangement is useful for integrated systems, because this additional machine handles the TEF load queue.
-
It is also useful when running FTR indexing and large background reports.
-
For details on configuring the scheduler on a remote machine, refer to Application Server Installation and Setup for SmartPlant Foundation.
-
-
Offload the file server, as described in Why is viewing files slow? and detailed in Application Server Installation and Setup for SmartPlant Foundation.
-
Synchronize the cache.
-
This configuration spreads the load across multiple processors on the same computer.
-
It is not dynamic, as it is necessary to allocate known sets of users to each processor.
-
For more information, refer to Application Server Installation and Setup for SmartPlant Foundation.
-
-
Use multiple worker processors.
-
This arrangement spreads the load across multiple processors on the same server or multiple servers.
-
This option is particularly useful on systems with large numbers of concurrent users.
