Troubleshooting performance problems

Follow this guidance to resolve common problems with IBM® Integration Bus performance.

About this task

  • Scenario: You are experiencing problems with performance, such as:
    • Poor response times in the IBM Integration Toolkit when developing message flows
    • Poor response time at deployment
    • Individual messages taking a long time to process
    • Poor overall performance, or performance that does not scale well
  • Solution: Possible solutions are:
    • Tune the integration node
    • Speed up WebSphere® MQ persistent messaging by optimizing the I/O (input/output)
    • Speed up database access by optimizing I/O
    • Increase system memory
    • Use additional instances or multiple integration servers
    • Optimize ESQL statements for best performance

The reports in WebSphere MQ Family Category 2 (freeware) SupportPacs contain additional advice about performance, and they are available for download from the WebSphere MQ SupportPacs web page.
