Use a fast file system. Ensure that the file input folders reside on computers with a fast file system.

Configure endpoints to multiple folders to avoid any individual folders that contain thousands of files.

Tune the value for time interval to scan a folder for new files. Change the dx.endpoint.file.scan.interval system setting from the default value of

5

to the maximum number of seconds that the customer accepts, for example

120

.

Tune the value for the number of files expected each time that B2B Data Exchange scans a folder for new files. If more files are sent during peak periods than this value, the files wait for subsequent scans, which improves performance. Set the dx.endpoint.file.scan.max parameter to the expected number, for example

25

, instead of the default value of

250

.

Tune the value for the file backlog to a lower number. The backlog is the set of files that DX buffers during processing. Set the dx.endpoint.file.backlog.max parameter to a lower value, for example

250

, instead of the default value of

5000

. To change the expiration time for the backlog, set the endpoint.file.backlog.timeout parameter, whose default value is

10

.
