Tuning Content Platform Engine

The performance tuning topics in this section apply to Content Platform Engine.

Tuning IBM FileNet P8 queries
As the IBM FileNet P8 administrator or database administrator, you determine what constitutes the optimal set of database indexes for your system and needs. You do so by analyzing the queries that are typically run by your FileNet P8 applications.
Tuning Content Platform Engine application servers
The performance tuning topics in this section apply to Content Platform Engine and all supported application servers unless otherwise specified.
Tuning Content Platform Engine fixed content devices
The performance tuning topics in this section apply to Content Platform Engine and all supported fixed content devices unless otherwise specified.
Tuning S3 advanced storage device upload
S3 storage devices provide multipart upload capabilities. You can adjust the settings for multipart upload to enable larger or more efficient uploads. Note that if content fits into one part, as determined by the settings, a single part upload is always used.
Handling a large number of folders, documents, and objects
Consider the performance tuning options that are related to handling a large number of folders, documents, and objects when you plan a FileNet P8 system, develop efficient custom applications, or configure a client application.
Tuning Content Platform Engine file storage area paths
You can create file storage areas with local or UNC paths. However, putting a local path in all of the following configurations helps to prevent performance degradation.
Tuning performance for large Content Based Retrieval result sets
You can use a JVM argument on your application server to improve return performance for large Content Base Retrieval result sets.
Tuning Content Platform Engine thumbnail performance
The performance tuning topics in this section have information about improving the performance of Content Platform Engine by managing thumbnail generation and sweeps.
Tuning Content Platform Engine storage area usage
If Content Platform Engine resources are available and you need to reduce disk consumption, you can implement content compression and content duplication suppression to optimize storage area resource utilization.
Tuning Content Platform Engine auditing
Manage audit events to improve Content Platform Engine performance and minimize disk space usage.
Improving content uploads and downloads
The performance tuning topics in this section have information that can improve the performance of content uploads.
Improving Instruction Sheet Interpreter activity
Modify the Maximum Database Operations per Transaction and the Maximum Instructions per Transaction parameter values to improve Instruction Sheet Interpreter activity.
Refreshing the user and group cache to improve performance
You can change the frequency for refreshing the user and group cache with current user information through the Cached Entry Timeout parameter.
Tuning the Content Platform Engine Social Collaboration add-on
The performance tuning topics in this section have information about improving the performance of Content Platform Engine by managing the social collaboration add-on.
Tuning Content Platform Engine for wide area networks
Consider the following Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) modifications to tune Content Platform Engine for wide area networks (WANs).
Tuning Content Platform Engine background searches
Background search allows a search to be performed within a background sweep process. Although this type of search typically runs for a long time in the background, performance tuning is still important.
Tuning IBM Content Search Services
Use IBM Content Search Services to permit full-text searches for objects. You can monitor searching and indexing performance and make configuration changes to improve performance.
