Just noticed this in the 7.6 performance tuning guide - Page 27 reads:
Running preload Considering all of the services, the following is the optimal procedure to run preload once: 1. In the Mid Tier Configuration Tool, turn on Enable Cache Persistence in the Mid Tier Configuration Tool. 2. Turn on preload. 3. Allow preload to finish preloading all user facing AR System forms. 4. Turn off preload. Using this optimal procedure, the statistics service loads only the objects that correspond to the actual usage of the system into the mid tier memory. After the preload service has run once, all of the relevant objects are written to disk (because Cache persistence is enabled). By turning off the preload service, the statistics service has full memory access to load only those objects which are collected in actual usage. You can repeat this procedure if the applications on the AR System server have changed. We're running: ARS and Mid tier 7.5 patch 7 Questions: 1. Does anybody know if there is a big performance difference seen by clients if you switch pre-load off after it has complete. 2. How are you, how should we be verifying that preload is complete? - currently we're checking that the cache folder has stopped growing - ours grows to about 1GB and takes about 1 hour to complete.
