Process Server sizing recommendations

Configure the Process Server service of the Secure Agent according to your workload.

Use the following sizing recommendations to optimize resources:

Recommendation	Small	Medium	Large
Process Count	75	175	350
Resource Cache (MB)	75	175	350
Work Manager Thread Pool Min	50	100	150
Work Manager Thread Pool Max	250	500	750
JVM Min Heap (MB)	Default	768	1024
JVM Max Heap (MB)	Default	Default	4096

The default JVM Min Heap is 512 MB, and the default JVM Max Heap is 1536 MB.

For example, to configure the Process Count, Resources Cache, Work Manager Thread Pool Min, and Work Manager Thread Pool Max related properties, perform the following steps:

In Application Integration Console, click

Server Configuration

On the

Server Configuration

page, select a Secure Agent.

Click the

Server Settings

tab.

Update the Process Count, Resource Cache, Work Manager Thread Pool Min, and Work Manager Thread Pool Max related property values as shown in the following image:

This image shows the server configuration properties in Application Integration Console.

Click

Save

Restart the Process Server for the changes to take effect.

For more information about the Process Server configuration properties in Application Integration Console, see Process Server properties.

To configure the JVM Min Heap and JVM Max Heap, perform the following steps:

In Administrator, click

Runtime Environments

On the

Runtime Environments

page, click the name of the Secure Agent.

You might have to expand the Secure Agent group to see the list of Secure Agents within the group.

Click the

Details

tab.

In the upper right corner, click

Edit

Scroll down to the

System Configuration Details

section.

Select the service as

Process Server

Select the configuration property type as

jvm

In the row that contains the

jvm min-heap

and

jvm max-heap

properties, click the

Edit Agent Configuration

icon and update the property values.

The following image shows the

jvm min-heap

and

jvm max-heap

properties:

Click

Save

Restart the Process Server for the changes to take effect.

For more information about the Process Server properties in Administrator, see Process Server properties.

When you start the Process Server on UNIX operating systems, you might see the following error:

Cannot write to temp location

[/tmp]

This error occurs because UNIX limits the number of files that can be created by a single process. The maximum number of files that can be created by a single process is 1024.

To avoid this error, Informatica recommends that you increase the open files limit to atleast 10 times the default value of 1024. Contact your system administrator to increase the value of any other relevant parameters such as max user processes.

The step 1 - Informatica Cloud > Monitor > Service and Process Console does not exist. Nor does the To Configure the Process Count... go to the Server Configuration section of the Application Integration Console Service.. article not very helpful.
