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.

Apache Lucene Search Engine’s Features

Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full featured text search engine library written entirely in Java. It is part of Apache Jakarta Project. Lucene was originally written by Doug Cutting in Java. While suitable for any application which requires full text indexing and searching capability, Lucene has been widely recognized for its utility in the implementation of Internet search engines and local, single-site searching. Lucene is Doug Cutting’s wife’s middle name ! Features 1. Scalable, High-Performance Indexing Over 95GB/hour on modern hardware Small RAM requirements — only 1MB heap Incremental indexing as fast as batch indexing Index size roughly 20-30% the size of text indexed 2. Powerful, Accurate and Efficient Search Algorithms Ranked searching — best results returned first Sorting by any field Multiple-index searching with merged results Allows simultaneous update and searching 3. Flexible Queries Phrase queries –>  like “star wars” –> searc...

ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link

          Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager . When rendering the BCC home page, the ActivityManager cycles through all the registered ActivitySource components and displays left navigation links for each of them on the BCC home page. For example if I want to add a new link "My New Link" , below screen shots exaplins how this can be done 1. Add  activityManager.properties to specify the activityresources. In this  activityManager, I specified one MyActivitySource. 2. Add  MyActivitySource.properties  to specify the name of the link and the other details . Here it refers to a bundle properties file.  3. Add  the bundle properties file  to specify the name of the link.  4. Now you could see the new link...
