Setting performance parameters

The performance parameters maximize performance by controlling workstation access to the server and balancing the optimization of workstation and server performance.

About this task

The settings determine the performance of the workstation in relation to the server. For example, changing the maximum operations per transaction setting can alter the efficiency of the workstation. For most workflow systems, the default settings are sufficient. Adjust the settings only if directed by your service representative, under the following conditions:
  • Workflow maps that run in the isolated region contain 750 - 1000 system instructions between user-defined instructions.

    To maximize the availability of the Instruction Sheet Interpreter and other server resources in this situation, decrease the value of the maximum instructions per transaction setting.

  • The InstructionSheetInterpreter system queue is filling up.

    Increase the value of the maximum instructions per transaction setting.

  • The size of the database audit trail is exceeded, preventing further database activity.

    Decrease the value in the maximum operations per transaction setting, or see the appropriate vendor documentation for information on optimizing or increasing the amount of space available for the database audit trail.
