Using Web Administration

You can use the instructions provided here to manage server performance through Web Administration Tool.

About this task

If you have not done so already, click Server administration in the Web Administration navigation area and then click Manage server properties in the expanded list. Next, click the Performance tab.

The Performance tab allows you to enhance directory performance when you configure database connection settings. The LDAP server maintains a certain number of connections to the DB2® servers. This number can be set in the Maximum number of database connections field. By increasing the number of DB2 connections, LDAP can increase its level of concurrency and can improve throughput performance.To change the database connections settings to enhance performance do the following steps:
  1. Specify the maximum number of database connections in the Maximum number of database connections field. This sets the number of DB2 connections used by the server. This field is not available if the server you are connected to is configured as a proxy server.
  2. Specify the maximum number of database connections for replication in the Maximum number of database connections for replication field. This sets the number of DB2 connections used by the server for replication. This field is not available if the server you are connected to is configured as a proxy server.
  3. Specify the maximum number of retries the back-end should attempt for operations not in a transaction to avoid deadlocks. If you select Retries, you must enter the number of retries allowed for operations not in a transaction. Otherwise, select Unlimited. You must specify numeric values only.
  4. When you are finished, do one of the following steps:
    • Click OK to apply your changes and exit this panel.
    • Click Apply to apply your changes and stay on this panel.
    • Click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.
You must restart the server for the changes to take effect.
