Optimizing the performance of the extensions

How to optimize your system for best performance of the multilingual solution.

1. Add the following settings to the WCM WCMConfigService service by using the WebSphere® Application Server.

   1. Enable the missed path cache by adding missed_absPath.cache.enable=true.

   2. Enable the user cache by setting user.cache.enable=true.

   3. Restart the server.

2. Update these settings in the WebSphere Application Server to enable "disk-offload" and "flush to disk" for the following caches:

   • ML Config File

     services/cache/iwk/mlconffile

   • Abs Path

     services/cache/iwk/abspath

   • Abs Path Reverse

     services/cache/iwk/abspathreverse

   • Missed Path

     services/cache/iwk/missed

   • Object Summary

     services/cache/iwk/summary

   • Strategy

     services/cache/iwk/strategy

   Note

   These changes require manual flushing of the cache offload directories whenever an iFix, Cumulative iFix or Fixpack is installed.

3. Periodically run the clear history tool to improve page load and save performance. See Clearing item history and Clearing version history for further information.

4. Disable workflow actions on subscribers to reduce load and reduce the number of versions that are created for each item. See Disabling Workflow Actions for further information.
