quick-start and guidelines to tuning IBM® Cúram Social Program
Management (SPM) in a production or production-like environment. Learn about the key tuning parameters for a
system deployment of SPM, including formulas to use for some parameters and starter values for
others.
Scope
The following performance tuning tasks are out of scope:
While the starter values are based on experience and are sensible for production, it is
unlikely that they are the optimal values for your specific system. You must further tune the
starter values during your load testing and production monitoring. Tuning testing might be helpful
for evaluating the initial starter values. Tuning tests consist of running short simulations of a
workload representative of production volume and hardware to find the optimum tuning values for the
system. The production volume might be simulated by using your load test workload. The tests do not
normally use think times and need to last only half an hour. During these tests, perform full system
monitoring. This type of testing allows a short cycle of test, feedback, and update to tuning
parameters. Tuning tests are specialized load tests and are not a direct replacement for load tests.
The goal of tuning tests is only to improve the system performance through tuning.
