Portal Performance - Potential Solutions?

18 Views

In an Article about Performance testing found on the SDN

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/969fded9-0901-0010-77b6-a05d645ca05c

It talks about the J2EE engine being configured with multiple J2EE server instances :

"We found that using multiple J2EE server instances was a suitable approach to make the best use of the large number of CPUs. The J2EE engine was configured with 4 server instances. These J2EE server instances were configured as standalone cluster. The J2EE servers process the most of the workload in this scenario. Having many processes handling smaller chunks of the work as opposed to have fewer processes handling larger chunks each was found to be the best approach to achieve scalability."

I have a out-of-the-box install of EP6.0, and I can open the config tool (usrsap<INSTANCE>JC00j2eeconfigtool) and see that I have just one server instance and one dispatcher.

I can click "Server" -> Add Server

and a new Server_ID<> is added (just like magic huh 😊)

My question: Does this make a "Standalone Cluster" or are there other settings I must attend to in order to get the increased performance I hope to get... or at least have the system share the resource requests between the two server processes.

Any assistance, comments or documentation you can point me to is appreciated.
