Vantage 8.03 Performance

Dan,
Your hardware looks generally ok. A couple of suggestions, the BI
and AI process of the progress database might give your better
throughput if they were put on a drive seperate from where the
database is. Also consider an extra drive, (non raid) for page file.

How many people are having performance issues with Vantage 8.03?
We just went live Monday, upgraded from 6.1 and the performance is
terrible. We are using a Dell server with dual 3.4GHz processor and 4GB
of ram. This new version has our users moving at a snails pace and lots
of angry workers now. We are only having maybe 20 users in at a time.
6.1 ran great on this server, we have turned off 6.1 so 8.03 is the
only thing running on that server. We are now looking at getting
another server to replace the current one we are using.
How many people had to upgrade their server to handle 8.03?

The issue is probably on your workstations. 3.0's with 2gig of ram
should do you. Make sure you take advantage of memory caching.

I am monitoring the performance monitor on the server and see memory
at 100%, physicaldisk at 100% and processor at 70 to 100%. Its not
always that high but seems at least half the day today it has been.

If all you have is Vantage on a server and it's running dual 3.4's and 4
gig you must have an appserver locked or something. We upgraded our
server to dual 3.0's and 4 gig and have been very please with
performance after tweaking the database.

Dan,



These statistics seem wildly out of the ordinary for a system of your
reported configuration running only the Vantage server side processes. Have
you done the customary server side optimizations above the standard
configuration? If not, perhaps there would be much to be gained by
optimizing the configuration on your server.



Best regards,



Michael

What is the drive array config? If it is not RAID 5, then your server
should be good to go.

We currently have Raid10


In an effort to alleviate our serious performance issues since
upgrading to 8.03, we have decided to throw hardware at the problem.
Does anyone have any recommendations beyond the standard memory
tuning and Progress settings that Epicor provides for servers with a
large amount of memory and a very fast disk subsystem? Epicor, and
Performance Network Solutions our third party infrastructure company
have both approved using windows 2003 x64 Enterprise to help cope
with the memory better.



The server basic specs are as follows:


HP DL
3.0 Ghz Dual CPU, with Dual Cores (4 cores total)
8 GB Ram fully buffered
Battery Backed up Write Cache with advanced RAID caching
x2 72GB RAID1 for the operating system SAS hot-swap
x6 146GB RAID10 for the Databases SAS hot-swap
2003 Enterprise x64

Dan,



I would preface my comments with the caveat that I don't know the number of
users nor the size of your database. That being the case, assuming that the
server is dedicated to Progress/Vantage, you may be able to save some money
by reducing the size of your database raid array. Additionally, if your
implementation is highly transactional, you could benefit from running the
BI on a separate disk subsystem. Beyond that, there are, of course, other
performance enhancing options but without knowing more about your
configuration I would hesitate to suggest them. For example, have your
consultants and Epicor been able to document the source of the performance
bottleneck?



Best regards,



Michael

We currently are licensed for 30 users but we don't have more than 20
logged in at once. Our database is at least 14GB in size. The only
thing this server is used for is Vantage. We have 6.1 installed on it
but the Admin Service for Progress has been stopped since we went
live on 8.03 last Monday. We have gone over the documents Epicor sent
Progress Performance Tuning Guide and Top 6 Things to Check. I even
had a webex session with Epicor when we went live to check the
database and app server settings because of the performance.

There are a couple good Progress tuning guides that might be of use.

Dan,



We're still on 8.00.811 but we're close to your size for users/DB go.
Please keep this list informed of your experiences with performance on that
hardware. Are you running Vantage on MSSQL or Progress?

Dan,

What performance issues are you seeing?

What actions / operations are slow?

Has Perfmon been utilized to monitor disk, memory, CPU etc

Antivirus?

Has Promon been used to investigate issues.

Are you on SQL or a Progress database? If progress has table analysis
been done to look at scatter / fragmentation

How fast does the client run on the server - eliminating
network / client speed

What is the specification of client machines



Regarding the Hardware specification you listed, initial
comments are:



Why 2003 64bit Enterprise? Standard 64 bit handles your
requirements? you don't require support for 2TB of RAM or 8 way
symmetric processing?



With a 14GB database the disk subsystem will need to be
correctly configured, I agree with Michaels comments below separate the
BI files and the database.

Also Vantage 8 . 8.03 likes writing to the working
directories as well as the printing directories so always factor to
isolate these from the DB.

Lots of smaller disks are always better than many large
disks, also look at a split backplane and or multiple RAID controllers
if Disk IO is really the bottleneck.

Finally as Michael mentions all these things are
dependant on further analysis.



Regards,

Stephen Edginton

Dan,

I would preface my comments with the caveat that I don't know the number
of
users nor the size of your database. That being the case, assuming that
the
server is dedicated to Progress/Vantage, you may be able to save some
money
by reducing the size of your database raid array. Additionally, if your
implementation is highly transactional, you could benefit from running
the
BI on a separate disk subsystem. Beyond that, there are, of course,
other
performance enhancing options but without knowing more about your
configuration I would hesitate to suggest them. For example, have your
consultants and Epicor been able to document the source of the
performance
bottleneck?

Best regards,

Michael

In an effort to alleviate our serious performance issues since

Does anyone have any recommendations beyond the standard memory

Dan,



Stephen's points are well taken in that, from the information provided,
there appear to be many avenues to explore to conclusively diagnose and cure
your performance issues.



One item I neglected to inquire about and could, perhaps, explain the size
of your DB as a ratio of the number of users is whether or not you are
utilizing after image journaling? If so, then there are another set of IO
considerations to address.

Good points all around Micheal and Stephen, are either of you on Vantage 8
or 8.03? If so, what performance issues (if any) have you seen and were
you able to solve them?

I have been utilizing Perfmon. Memory and disk alot of the time are
up at 100% and processor stays around 20 to 40%.
There is no antivirus running on that server and I am not sure how to
use promon to investigate. If you can shed some light as to what I
should be looking for with promon. Our database is 14gb with 30 users
