Faster Performance Tweaking in Server Configuration
When tweaking performance it can be hard to figure out the right settings for the number of
Merge engines, Weaver engines, dividing speed units, etc. Having to restart the Connect
Server to apply the changes every time a setting was changed also made tweaking
performance harder than it should have been. So we've made some improvements in order that
changing scheduling settings no longer requires a Server restart.
When you hit Apply or OK, the Connect Server will pick up your new settings. Engines are only
stopped or started as needed, so the impact is minimal. Changes can even be made while jobs
are running, without the jobs being interrupted.
This greatly reduces the time and effort required for optimizing performance. (SHARED-53222)
Note
In the case that all engines are occupied, some changes will only take effect when the job
finishes.
