Improving eGuide Performance

This section provides the following methods for improving the performance of eGuide:


Reducing Session Time-Out

If eGuide requests get slower as more users log on, you can reduce the active session time-out setting. This setting determines the length of the users' active sessions.

  1. Open the eguide.cfg file located in the webapps\eGuide\web-inf\config directory.

  2. In the security setting, decrease the minutes per session to ten minutes.


Increasing Heap Size

You can increase the heap size on your Web Application server. Heap is an area of pre-reserved storage that processors can use to store data in some variable amount that is unknown until the process is running. For instructions on increasing heap size, see your Web application server documentation.


Running the JVM in Server Mode

Running your JVM in server mode can improve eGuide performance. However, running in this mode requires more memory. Also, on NetWare you cannot simultaneously run one application in server mode and another in client mode. All applications must be in the same mode. For more information about JVM client and server modes, see the Novell JVM for NetWare documentation.
