Throughput and Scalability Improvement for SOAP and SOAP with SSL Services

Use Case 2 : Given a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ project which comprises mainly of SOAP services, the aim was to benchmark and achieve improvement in terms of throughput, and scalability with maximum resource utilization.

For scenario details, see Performance Improvement Use Case 2.

For hardware details, see Hardware Configuration.

Testing and Measurement : The testing was focused on the aspects listed below:

  • The benchmarking process focuses on maximizing CPU and memory utilization. Benchmarking included executing load tests for a given workload.
  • Total end-to-end business process completed per second was calculated.
Solution for Performance Improvement

  • The event statistics or application metrics feature is known to add some overhead in terms of performance, hence the event statistics were disabled which improved the performance by roughly 30% to 40%. For more information, see Application Statistics.
