Hi, I am trying to test the performance of Base2 (2.4.3) installation on our server. It is an 8-processor machine so we thought about running several job agents on it to speed up the plugin execution.
I started and configured 5 of them, following instructions from documentation. All are using the same default Base JobAgent account, the same database user (the same as Base installation) and have access to the same userfiles folder. They have different ports and external IDs of course. To test it I used plugins importing genepix raw data to RawBioAssays. Everything seemed fine as far as it was one import at a time. When I started 5 threads logging in as 5 different users and submitting an import job I noticed that job agents work in sequence, not in parallel as I expected. One waits until another finishes executing its job. I started 2 jobs for 2 different users at the same time using web user interface with the same effect. Where is the bottle neck that stops simultaneous plugin execution? Is it on the database level where one transactions blocks another until it is finished? Or maybe, job agents are not supposed to work on the same machine with Base2 installation? Thanks in advance for any clues, Pawel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
