Nomenclature

! BEA Systems - Maker of TUXEDO application

! middleware - plumbing that connects two sides of

an application and passes data between them

! Application Server - Logical implementation of

TUXEDO processes containing 1+ domains

! application server - physical piece of hardware

! TUXEDO domain - collection of TUXEDO

process working against a single PeopleSoft

database

! Web Server - daemon process serving http

requests

Nomenclature

! Logical 3-Tier - Application Server and database

engine on same physical machine

! Physical 3-Tier - Application Server and database

engine on separate physical machines

! LAN - Local Area Network - networked computers

spanning a relatively small area

! WAN - Wide Area Network geographically

separate, interconnected LANs

! TUXEDO Server - One of many TUXEDO

processes which collectively make a TUXEDO

Domain

! TUXEDO Message (message) - TUXEDO data

passed between two communicating processes

File Server Vs. Application Server

! File Server - contains PeopleSoft client

executable files. File servers should be as close

to the clients as possible.

! Application Server - runs PeopleSoft business

logic on the client’s behalf. Application Servers

should be as close to the database server as

possible.

! Terminal Server - high tech remote control.

Should be as close to the database / application

server as possible.

2 Vs. 3 Tier Client Access

❖

Clients can connect 2 Tier directly to the database

! Increased database overhead

! Extra database connectivity software to manage

! Need to configure client email for workflow

! Not as efficient over slow network links:

! Large numbers of small packets

! Network latency

! Propagation delays

! Decentralized management (db2cli.ini, tnsnames.ora,

etc.)

2 Vs. 3 Tier Client Access

❖

Clients can connect 3 Tier directly to TUXEDO

! Reduced client management

! No SQL Connectivity needed

! No email configuration required to use workflow (SMTP)

! Scalability

! Reduced system resources

! Low bandwidth access to PeopleSoft

! Clients cannot run processes requiring direct database

access (SQR, COBOL, etc.)

2 or 3 Tier client COBOL and SQR

" Client COBOL and SQR

! These require a direct database connect (2 Tier)

! Can be used from a three tier client if needed - database

connectivity software must be installed and configured

! Makes the client “fatter” to administer

! Not available to Web Client

Dedicated Servers - File, Database, Application

Disable unneeded Services or daemons

Planned Disk Layout

Allocate Kernel Resources in advance

Dedicated, high speed connectivity to DB server

Inter-process communications to DB

Load balanced

❖ Multiple Domains / Same DB instance

❖ Multiple Network Adapters on DB machine

Redundant / available

Not always realistic / what exists onsite

Application Server Sizing FAQ

" How many application server machines

do I need?

! Dependent on …

! Total user population

! Total number of expected CONCURRENT

connections (not connected users)

! Development environment

! How databases will be used during the

implementation

! Number of TUXEDO Domains to be configured

for Load Balancing and Failover

! Bottom line.. dependent on customer

environment!

MED 100 (~ 200 concurrent users)

LARGE 100’s ( 200 + concurrent users)

Models are used as a starting point for quick configuration.

Application Server Sizing FAQ

" How do I know when to start more instances of a

particular Application Server / Process?

! add another database connection to handle more

incoming client requests simultaneously

! monitor with TUXEDO command “psr” to display

number of requests per server process and “pq” to

display number of clients in queue

" How do I start another Server / Process?

! modifying the psappsrv.cfg using PSADMIN

! set MIN>1 and increase MAX if needed

! rule of thumb => 1 Server/Process per 20TPM

Application Server Sizing Scenario

" What is the ratio of client connections to DB

connections?

! 1 User issues 1 transaction per 5minutes

! 100 transactions / 5 min = 20TPM

! 100 transactions = 500 concurrent Users

! Start 1 PSAPPSRV/1PSQCKSRV per 20TPM

! 20TPM = 1 PSAPPSRV/ 1PSQCKSRV started

! equates to 100 concurrent Users using 2 database

connects for PSAPPSRV & PSQCKSRV

! Remember to ....Allow .65mb per Connected User

Application Server Sizing Scenario

" What is the ratio of client connections to DB

connections?

! 200 Concurrent Users = 40TPM = min 4db

connects

! 200trans/5min = 40TPM

! 40TPM/20TPM = 2PSAPPSRV/2PSQCKSRV started

! PSADMIN Sizing Model MEDIUM supports this configuration

! 500 Concurrent Users = 100TPM = min 10db

connects

! 500trans/5min = 100TPM

! 100TPM/20TPM = 5 PSAPPSRV/5PSQCKSRV started

TUXEDO Compression

" When do I use WSH Compression?

! Default set to 5000

! All messages larger than 5000 bytes will be

compressed

! Trade off between network times and time

needed to compress / uncompress the data

! If network latency is high, match compression

and TCP/IP MTU for the network segment

! Determine benefits of using compression by

using “ping -l packetsize”

Question and Answer

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" “Seeding” the cache

! Pre-caching objects makes them

available for users

! Reduces trips from application server to

the database

! Reduces network communication

! Version numbers are checked

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" What is cached?

! Record Definitions

! Menu Definitions

! PeopleCode Definitions

! PeopleCode References

! Panel Definitions

! Other stuff

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" How do I automate caching?

! SQA Robot scripts

! Use Application Designer

! Insert objects into project

! Add all relevant Panel Groups

! Perform 3 Tier validation

! This loads (caches) all panel

objects

! Each server has its own

cache

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" What about the other PSAPPSRVs?

! For Tools 7.5x ONLY:

! Use tmadmin to shut down all PSAPPSRVs

except one

! Perform caching using one of the described

methods

! Shut down last PSAPPSRV

! Copy cache files to other

directories

! Restart all servers

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" What about the other PSAPPSRVs?

! For Tools 7.0x:

! Perform caching using one of the described

methods

! Run SQA scripts concurrently

! For large implementations with multiple

servers, this is more difficult

to accomplish

! Avoid rebooting domains

! Stay current with Tools

releases and patches

PeopleSoft Cache Performance

" Who has the cache?

! \CACHE\1, \CACHE\2… directories

may be used by different servers

! Who is using it?

! Check file dates / sizes

! Once the correct instance is identified,

copy it to the other directories

! Why does it work like that?

Do I Need an Application Server?

" Some Business Processes require an

application server

" Web access to PeopleSoft

" Large numbers of local users

" Lower operating costs

" Performance issues for remote users

" Wide Area Network bandwidth

consumption
