Addressing performance problems caused by swapping

Excessive swapping between disk and memory can slow performance, but there are remedies that you can apply.

If you discover that performance is severely degraded because swapping is occurring, try these solutions.

Procedure

• Ensure that there is enough physical memory to support IBM BPM and all other running processes. Use the system memory tools described in the accompanying topics to do this task. If that some 32-bit operating systems can use only a certain amount of physical memory.
• Stop all processes that are not required (for example, browsers, tools, office applications).

• Use a remote DB2 system, and stop the DB2 processes on the local system.

• For authoring, use a remote test environment or Process Center.
