Before modify anything, I think you should patch the ARS server. There are a few
memory issues resolved with the patchs, maybe could resolve your problems.

 Subject: URGENT - ITSM 7 performance issue - help needed

 Hello, all.

 We have been struggling with ITSM 7 performance since it went live on
 8/1.  The performance is getting worse and worse for all the operations:

 search, create, and update.  At the begging, it's the creating incident
 that took more that 40 seconds to complete.  Now it's all the
 operations,
 primarily on Incident.  The incident ticket update can take up to 3
 minutes now.  We opened a critical ticket to BMC support but so far we
 haven't received a solution that improves the performance.

 Our configurations:

 ARS 7.0.01 no patch on Solaris 9
 Database is Oracle 10gR2 on another Solaris 9 box
 Midtier is on Wintel 2003 IIS server (Only for requesters)
 ITSM (including Incident and Change) 7.0.02 patch 3

 I have been sending all kinds of loggings to BMC.  The first suggestion
 from BMC was to set Oracle-Cursor-Sharing to FORCES.  That didn't help.

 The other suggestion was to change a Veritas setting (mincache=direct)

 on the database server.  But our DBA, UNIX. and Storage people all
 rejected the idea because 1) that fix is for bulk data import 2) they
 had
 very experienced with that setting, which produced high IO waits and
 worse
 overall daily performance.

 Thanks in advance for your help.

Have there been any configuration settings placed directly in the database,
for example, Case Insensitive.  The setting Oracle provides, unfortunately,
ignores all Remedy indexes.  This will result in very poor performance.

2007-08-09 Thread Pierson, Shawn
Turn on your SQL logging and try running the SQL that is generated in
Toad (just select statements, not updates or inserts.)  In the past I've
found that there can be table scans that are major performance hits that
way.  The resolution ends up being adding more indexes or changing the
criteria Set Fields workflow uses.  If you find a SQL statement that
takes too long to run, pass it on to your DBA and they should be able to
do more troubleshooting to see why it is doing so and what can be done
about it.

Re: URGENT - ITSM 7 performance issue - help needed

2007-08-09 Thread john rosquist
How many fast and list servers do you have configured.  Do the DBA see a 
similar number if threads being consumed on the database.  Are the threads on 
the database being orphaned or recycled?  Do the DBA's have suffient number of 
connections set up for remedy to access (thread starvation). What are the SQL 
response times? (1sec?)

Is there anything between remedy and the database. Are you sure. Often the 
System Admins will not admint to this.  Check your line speeds, duplex and mtu 
settings one EVERY step of the path.

Verify your indexes.  ITSM 7 does not seem to have a lot indexed.

Eric, it would help if you could tell us more about your environment, and
what system logging you've looked at in your performance evaluation.
