Sharkadmin startup times

[Gabriel Gruber-2]

hi folks,

I have a big client database of shark and would like to monitor processes with the sharkadmin (using shark 1.1-2) . The database holds aprox. 50.000 process instances and more than 400 processdefinitions.
the startup of the sharkadmin is incredibly slow (takes 10min+)
is there a way to speed up startup, maybeet tweak configuration?

thanx in advance

Gabriel

Afaik the SharkAdmin (especially Shark 1.x) was never designed to be used in production environments. We had to implement the needed admin features (basically for package administration and process executions) by ourselves and integrated them into our application. Using SharkAdmin was not practicable.

I think with Shark 2 both the admin and web-client perform way better and make a more 'stable' impression.

Did you already adapt the runSA script with higher -Xmx settings? That's the only 'tweak' I can think of atm.

bye, Peter

Hi,

it is not possible to tweak it by configuration. It is only possible to
patch it. Swing Admin loads all the process instances during startup and
that takes a lot of time.
The time is also taken to load all 400 XPDL process definitions into
JaWE which could take even more time (and memory).

I would first look if the time take during the upload is mainly taken by
JaWE to load all the XPDLs or by the rest of Swing Admin to load all the
process instances.
Swing Admin could be then patched to e.g. load XPDLs on demand if JaWE
is the main reason for the slow startup. Otherwise, the  application
should be patched somehow not to load all the process instances at
startup...but this is against the concepts of the application.

Greetings,
Sasa.
