Time synchronization

Although this is not a performance recommendation, it is recommended that you keep the system time synchronized across all computer nodes using a time synchronization protocol such as Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Keeping the system time synchronized allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Correlate events in the database, Sterling™ Order Management System Software, and the application server logs
• Correlate workload arrival, as recorded in the application server's access.log to system measurements (such as SAR, vmstat, and so forth)
