For a production environment, you need to tune Connect Portal configuration to improve the performance of Adeptia Connect.

You can also do the following steps together while configuring SSL on Connect Portal.

Do the following:

  1. Go to …/<ConnectPortalInstallDirectory>/conf.
  2. Open server.xml file in the Text Editor.
  3. Change the value of the following parameters to the suggested value and save the file.
NameDescriptionSuggested Value
Tomcat Tuning
maxThreadsThe maximum number of request processing threads to be created by this Connector, which therefore determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled.5000
connectionTimeoutThe number of milliseconds this Connector will wait, after accepting a connection, for the request URI line to be presented.20000
maxConnectionsThe maximum number of connections that the server will accept and process at any given time.10000
GZip Compression 
ServerOverrides the Server header for the http response.Adeptia
compressionThe Connector may use HTTP/1.1 GZIP compression in an attempt to save server bandwidth.ON
noCompressionUserAgentsThe User Agents for which compressions is not to be used. Some older browsers do not support compression.gozilla, traviata
compressableMimeTypeThe value is a comma-separated list of MIME types for which HTTP compression may be used.text/html,text/xml,text/  css,application/javascript,application/ json
useSendfile(bool) To enable or disable sendfile capability. The default value is TRUE. Note that the use of sendfile will disable any compression that Embedded Tomcat may otherwise have performed in the response.false

Configuring memory for Connect Portal

You may need to set up memory to improve the performance of Adeptia Connect on Tomcat. To change the memory:

  1. Go to Terminal.

  2. Edit the launcher.properties file available at .../<ConnectPortalInsallDirectory>/conf. Add the below line at the end of the file.

    #JVM parameters
    JVM:-Xms1024M -Xmx2048M

    where,

    *Xms is the minimum requirements
    **Xmx is the maximum requirements
     

    As a best practice, it is recommended to use below settings for JVM:

    Operating System and Java JRE: 64 bit
    Java heap size for Connect Portal: 60% of the total memory

    For Example: 
    For 8GB RAM - Connect Portal = 4.8GB
    For 16GB RAM - Connect Portal = 10GB

  3. Save the file.
