BP119: Be a Lotus Domino Detective: Tackling Your Toughest Performance Issues

Speakers: Kim Greene - Kim Greene Consulting, Inc., President, Amy Hoerle - Kim Greene Consulting, Inc., Senior Consultant

Abstract: Are you concerned you may not be achieving optimal performance in your Lotus Domino environment? Become a Domino performance investigator.  Learn from the experts how to take abstract symptoms like “Notes is slow” or “transactions are timing out” and break it down into a resolvable problem.  See the methodology and tricks involved to find the true culprit using tools such as semaphore timeouts, memory dumps, call stack analysis, and server monitoring. Learn how to put activity logging and activity trends to work for you to find the hot databases on your servers.  See how obsolete tuning parameters can inhibit your servers from using all resources. Discover how effectively using monitoring graphs can simplify performance troubleshooting, which statistics are of value, and when and how to chart specific statistics depending on where the issue lies. This session will unravel the mystery of how to debug issues with performance on your servers and free up resources from buried contention.

Full text thread performance tuning and semaphore timeouts Mon, Jun 13th 2011 11:09a Kim Greene I do a lot of performance optimization for my customers. Over the years I have seen the use of full text index operations increasing on servers. In scenarios where a large amount of full text indexing operations are happening, I recommend spawning full text indexing operations to a separate thread. This is accomplished by adding the variable 'Update_Fulltext_Thread=1" to the server's notes.ini file. The statistics you want to focus on to determine if this tuning parameter is necessa [read] Keywords: notes application applications database server xml

After the server was down, I deleted the Domino semaphores (it was the only Domino server running on the iSeries) and restarted the server.
