Performance Tuning Siebel Software on the Sun Platform

7 <strong>Performance</strong> <strong>Tuning</strong>
Many people think solving a performance problem is a mysterious talent, however there
is a particular methodology at work. Figure 8.1 shows the process flow of approaching a
performance problem or simply tuning the system for best performance.
Figure 7
Use of a methodology like the process shown in Figure 7.1 can take the black magic out
of performance tuning. because there are several books and white papers dedicated to
the subject of performance tuning methodologies, the subject is not being covered in
detail in this white paper. The scope of this white paper is to provide the reader with
specific tuneables for the <strong>Siebel</strong>/Sun platform. The current chapter provides specific
suggestions for performance and scalability tuning. These suggestions are based on
lessons learned from the tests conducted at the Sun ETC and through years of
collaborative engineering between Sun and <strong>Siebel</strong>.
