Database performance

View some guidelines for performance optimization in your LikeMinds database. How you configure your database during installation has a significant impact on performance. Use the following guidelines to achieve the maximum performance in your LikeMinds database:

• Hardware setup: Ideally, you should have one machine (with two CPUs), preferably the fastest, dedicated to the database, and the WebSphere Portal software on a separate machine. See the system requirements in the WebSphere Portal Information Center for more information.

• load distribution:

  You can install the LikeMinds utilities onto separate machines to distribute load. Refer to the WebSphere Portal Information Center for information on installing utilities to multiple machines.

• sifter configuration: You can configure the sifter to accommodate heavy loads or busy sites. Be aware that the sifter has heavy memory usage.

• accumulator configuration:

  As with the sifter , the accumulator has heavy memory usage, so you should schedule it to run during off-peak hours.
