ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine.

The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml  and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @  <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder.

(1)  Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component.

              rwTimeout is the  length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed.

(2)  Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpareThreads is 2, which applies to running with 1 CPU.  However, it is recommended to run with more than one CPU.
      a) Set MaxThreads in AEConfig.xml to number of CPU's
      b) Set maxSpareThreads in AESoapWaspConfig.xml to number of CPU's

             maxThreads is the number of requests you can process simultaneously, and this generally should be the number of CPU's available to the engine. If this is higher than the CPUs, the engine will bog down, with slower response times.
             maxSpareThreads is the number of  worker threads to process requests simultaneously, generally this should be the same as MaxThreads.

(3)  Disable the the keep-alive/connection reuse setting
       a) Set reuseCount=0
   
            reuseCount is the number of requests that may be accepted using the same connection. The number can be increased to reduce the frequency of opening new connections and improve performance. However, a value that is too high could prevent new connections from being accepted. A value of 0 disables connection reuse. This applies to HTTP 1.1 only.

ATG : Oracle started new discussion forum for ATG

Oracle has started a new ATG discussion forum on oracle discussion forums.  It has a main ATG section and is divided into technical and business categories. You can access the url   http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=503 .  After Oracle acquired ATG, this was much expected and we can hope this forum might give us a better chance to discuss our ATG doubts and more people will come and discuss about ATG. Find the ATG docs @   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/atgwebcommerce-393465.html
